Slide Rack Assist Device called … Cock Bloc
This device is not only designed to assist the slide racking but also works as a display stand for pistols. And yes, the manufacturer calls it Cock Bloc. Its main purpose is to aid people with limited hand dexterity to manipulate the slide and/or to be able to do it single-handedly. As you can see […]

Brazil’s 7.62x51mm “Mosquefal”
Pretty much like many of the world’s countries in the early 20th Century, Brazil was a faithful user of German bolt-action Mauser rifles, to which the Spanish-favored 7x57mm round was chosen. The first adopted species was the Model 1894, soon followed by the Model 1904 rifle and the Model 1907 cavalry carbine, among other variants. […]

(Im)proper Appliance Disposal – C/O Ventura Munitions
Friend of TFBTV, Ventura Munitions, caught my attention with an Instagram video post earlier this week. Enter the scene – a well groomed, green grass lawn dotted with trees and saplings.

Review: Glock 43 (G43) 9mm – Mousegun “Perfection”?
Is it too much to ask from a mouse gun to be at least 9mm, reliable, and shootable? Based on various other offerings on the market, it could be argued that the combination of the three was a tall order. Various weapons in .380 were good, but 9mm was a beast that the form factor […]

TFB REVIEW: Tyrant Designs HALO MiniVert VFG
I swore off vertical fore grips (VFG) years ago, returning to a more traditional support hand placement. The Costa-esque C-clamp grip never quite worked for me either – if I’m being completely honest, I resisted it at first based on fad-status alone, but turning corners in close quarters situations didn’t work (again, for me) with […]

AR-15 Parts Weights Database
When it comes to building an AR-15 weight is a factor I always consider. Unless you’re building a long range rifle that will only be shot off of a bench I believe lighter is always better. A good way to shave off ounces from your AR build is to use a lightweight lower receiver and lightweight bolt […]

Colt Announces Series 70 Competition Pistols
Series 70 vs Series 80 is a bit of a holy war within the 1911 community. Many purists believe that Series 70 pistols are a superior version of the gun (and they can make a good case for it.) If you prefer Series 70 guns, I have good news: Colt’s Manufacturing Co is now making […]

RECALL: Ruger Issues Safety Warning For MKIV Pistols
Ruger has just announced a safety recall for their new MKIV pistols.

Alliant Sport Pistol is a NEW Choice for Handgun Reloaders

CNC Machine Chambered in .22LR ?
If you install a barrel in a CNC lathe and shoot a cartridge in it, will it make your lathe a firearm? Well, theoretically – yes (arguable), practically – not really, from the standpoint of law – probably depends on circumstances and how any particular legislation defines firearms. Anyway, folks at Serbu Firearms did exactly that. […]
