Since picking up my FFL and SOT, I have fallen in love with suppressors and shoot with them as often as I can. Unfortunately, most competition shooting (outside PRS) does not allow the use of suppressors, often labeling them as “unfair” accessories due to [Read More…]
I have a Ruger Precision Rifle on order, they seem hard to find in some places. (I’m sure they have plenty where you live, I’m not so lucky) Therefore it was quite a surprised when Ruger announced a new enhanced version of the Precision Rifle. So soon? Like [Read More…]

As a long time AR-15 shooter I never jumped onto the AK train back when they were really cheap. I finally purchased my first AK variant rifle around two years ago and it was a Yugo M70 NPAP. Overall I love the rifle, the fit and finish are great and it’s very [Read More…]
