Someone recently asked me which were the most high tech gun ranges in the USA. The range closest to Germany’s Müller Schiess Zentrum Ulm Range (see video below) that I know of would be the new Gander Mountain Academy in Lake Mary, Florida. One of the nicest [Read More…]

RAAC is importing the Akdal MKA 1919 12 gauge shotgun from Turkey. The shotgun closely resembles the AR-15, only a lot larger. Because the BATFE only allow “sporting” shotguns to be imported, it is imported without any tacti-cool features. The lower receiver [Read More…]
Noveske jumps into the modular slick rail, a trend seen across the board this year at SHOT SHOW, with their NSR-11 rail. Pictured at the Advanced Armament Corp booth on a complete Noveske 300 BLK rifle. The NSR-11 is extremely thin, allowing you to wrap (at least to [Read More…]
