The deal article of the week is here boys and girls. I can hear your wallets crying already. High Tower Armory 90/22 Conversion – $269.99 What… what the hell is it? Not my usual subheader, but pretty accurate if I do say so myself. This is “the next [Read More…]
Earlier this year I took it upon myself to source all the parts I needed for my “Dream AK”. The goal, take a Romanian DRACO, and turn it into the side folder AK I had always dreamed of owning. Many months and a tax stamp later, my dream AK was finally finished. [Read More…]

Even though TFB was entrusted with the task of officially breaking the news on PTR’s newest roller–delayed firearms just a week before SHOT, it was nice to finally see them in person on the show floor. The 9KT is obviously a roller-delayed pistol formed in the [Read More…]
Ah Swiss precision, there’s almost nothing sexier in the firearms world. B&T does an excellent job at making practical and useful guns into a sort of industrial art. For example, many pistol caliber carbines that utilize GLOCK magazines end up looking a horrendous [Read More…]

The massoud lineage lives on, and it’s looking good We here at TFB are admittedly fans of the work going on at Kinetic Research Group. KRG is usually one of my first stops every year to check in on the meticulously perfected FOX-42 project. For those of our [Read More…]
One of the benefits of the AR15 rifle is how easy it is to operate. Of course, I know this firearm better than any so it’s easy to say. But I also teach total beginners on the AR15, and can see how fast they learn the controls. The positives is that you can focus [Read More…]
Last year, Bushnell came out with their Forge line of optics. The Bushnell Forge optics boast better lens coatings and higher magnification over their Nitro line. I opted to check out their 4.5-27×50 scope and see how it works for long range shooting. Bushnell [Read More…]

A long time ago in a desert not so far away I remember the first time I saw a Ruger LCP in person. It was at Gunsite’s pro shop in the spring of 2008. Better built than the P-3AT, it won me over and became part of my regular hot weather carry rotation. I have [Read More…]

Glass with Class The scene opens with a well dressed pair of gentlemen off the coast of the Isle of Mull, an island in the Hebrides with a population of red stag.
