Christmas Tree hunt with Benelli M4 and Magnum loads
We’re a little late for the 2016 season, but we all hope you got a nice Christmas tree for your Holiday. The method practiced by Ms Pia Clerté to get hers is a bit unorthodox, but it seems to get the job done. I’m surprised it only took one shot, trees can be quite stubborn […]

Lyman introduced this product at SHOT 2016, but I’m not sure how we didn’t get around to covering such an innovative product.

STAR WARS BLASTERS: Caliber Theory And Analysis
In the decades since the release of the original Star Wars movie and subsequent episodes, “researchers” have extensively analyzed the weaponry carried by both Empire and Rebellion characters alike.

The Norwegian company makes a recoil actuating bolt that replaces a standard AR15 Bolt Carrier Group, coupled with a battery powered straight walled magazine, and a muzzle device essentially turns an AR15 into a cosmetic blank firing device. The […]
