This is cool and somewhat unexpected. But if the Swedish Armed Forces have and use them perhaps there should be manuals in the local language. As many are aware, the Swedish Army is currently and mainly using the AK5 (Automatkarbin 5). There is a long-term project [Read More…]
Born and raised in Texas, Todd Huey grew up with a gun in his hand. It started out as a Red Ryder BB gun that he carried on family hunts, but he quickly graduated to a rimfire rifle where his father would hand him one round at a time. After using that Savage rifle for [Read More…]
Federal Premium released on their Facebook page yesterday a teaser video that leaves more questions than answers. It is a mere 6 seconds long with no audio. All that appears is a lone cartridge casing which does not allow you to discern the caliber. Along with that [Read More…]

FMV in Sweden just closed the doors for a tender for over 5 000 red dots and mounts. It will be interesting to see what they chose, but my money is on an Aimpoint (Made in Sweden) of some kind. Probably the Aimpoint Micro T-2, but without reading the detailed [Read More…]

In recent years, “compact” .308 AR-style rifles have come onto the scene. I say “AR-style” rather than AR10/SR25 being that the rifles I’m referring to are a blend of both, or in the case of the Colt 901, a system unto itself. The most [Read More…]
Honestly, I’m a little tired of seeing the cult of the AR-15 preach its superiority as an “ergonomic” platform. While the AR-15 is an excellent weapon, and lord knows I own many of them, it’s not the superior choice for a weapon platform in a sea [Read More…]
