In the real world, grown men can politely disagree and still be friends. Online, depending on whose comments you were reading, you would have been forgiven for thinking Sean from TXMGO and myself at TFB had some huge beef. Nothing could be further from the truth. I [Read More…]

A huge thanks to my buddy Alex of SB Tactical for bringing this down upon my request. The HK MP7 is a gun that is relegated to almost Sasquatch level of existence. There are very few out there in the US and even fewer people have seen them in person let alone fired one. [Read More…]
Kirsten Joy Weiss got a chance to play with and review the Israeli CornerShot. The CornerShot has been around for over 10 years. It has been used in such movies as Wanted, Red, and The Expendables 3. It was even used in Season 3 of Top Shot. For those not familiar with [Read More…]
Some guns just get way too much attention. In this list, we highlight 5 firearms that get unfairly placed on a pedestal for a multitude of reasons that we lay out for you to consider.

Henry Repeating Arms makes some beautiful lever action guns from color case hardened receivers to gold engraved guns. While the company is not about to stop building those, it has embraced the utilitarian nature of the lever action rifle and introduced a pair of guns [Read More…]
TriStar 120 One of the things I really appreciate about being a writer for The Firearm Blog is being exposed to platforms and weapons I would otherwise not have access to, or go out of my way to try. At SHOT 2015 I had been scheduled for a review of the TriStar T-120, [Read More…]
Last year Magpul introduced the Hunter stock for the Remington 700 short action rifle. Short action shooters have embraced the polymer wonder stock but shooters that have embraced long action Remington 700s were kinda left out to dry. This year Magpul introduced a long [Read More…]
Up until now, my “precision” rifle has been a Mosin. I know, I know… Tom, that is not what anyone would consider precision (you know except for some old guys in “wars past” before all these new fangled rifles, with their new fangled composite plastics, [Read More…]

Now things are going to get a bit interesting. Even just increasing the budget 150% over $10 can yield some fun trinkets. At $25, money starts to go a bit further, as there were a few items that just could not get under the $10 mark. Now, with a slightly larger budget, [Read More…]
Recently, I ran an article on this site pointing out some of the less impressive aspects of the MP.44 assault rifle’s history. Many people were unhappy with my assessment that the legendary Sturmgewehr was overrated and over-hyped, and therefore I think it’s [Read More…]
