Tested: Recoil pad for the ACE ARFX skeleton stock
We introduced Jyrki from Finland and his CNC machined throwlevers in a recent TFB post. While examining his webpage I noticed he was also selling a pad for the ACE ARFX AR15 stock, a stock I use on a few of my rifles. As much as I like the ACE ARFX skeleton stock I always […]

Lucas Burnley’s Knife Gun
The knife maker Lucas Burnley challenged himself with a 365 day long Knife Design Marathon. Every day, for a year, he should sketch a new knife. Each sketch should take about fifteen minutes to draw. The result can be found at BRNLY365 Instagram. There are some really interesting designs in there, and I think at least […]

Review: Make Your Glock Competition Worthy With KE Arms
Last year Russell Phagan, of KE Arms, brought me to Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-Gun under a media sponsorship to review and shoot some prototypes they had.

Hamburg Police having issues with their new AR15s and ammunition

POTD: 40 mm Madritsch ML40 Grenade Launcher
Today’s Photo is training and shooting with 40 mm grenade launchers, by soldiers in the military academy in the Austrian Army. They are using the Madritsch Weapon Technology ML40, launching 40×46 mm grenades. Notice the Aimpoint Micro, I suspect those are H2s or possible T2s for NVG.

Allegiance Ammunition SilentStrike Subsonic .223
When prospective suppressor owners mention looking for subsonic .223 ammunition, my first impulse is to say “novelty” or “expensive .22lr”. After all, achieving low velocities is usually accomplished by anemic powder charges or heavy bullets. The later, fitting anything over ~80 grains in a 223 Remington case, is a challenge. However, Allegiance Ammunition is selling […]

Dead Air Ghost Silencer Wipe Replacement Program
Last year we reported that the ATF told Dead Air Armament that they were no longer able to sell replacement wipes for their popular Ghost M silencer directly to consumers. The reasoning behind the decision is not a new policy; wipes have been considered silencer parts in the past, making them replaceable only by FFL […]
