Suppressing A Classic: The Ruger 77/357
One of the most satisfying firearm projects I have completed to date is the conversion of a standard Ruger 77/357 into a suppressed short barreled rifle (SBR). The whole setup came together using a combination of woodworking, metalworking, refinishing, gunsmithing and creativity. Aside from waiting on ATF to bless my application to cut my barrel down to […]

POTD: North Korean Type 73 LMG
The Type 73 looks somewhat like North Korea’s attempt at copying the Bren LMG with a lot of influence from the Russian PK guns. Here is another photo that looks like it might be taken from the same photo shoot. I wonder how the sights work? Are they offset so they clear the giant vertical […]

New Daniel Defense DDM4V11 in 300 BLK
Daniel Defense announced another new rifle recently, this time in 300 BLK.

The DDM4V11 is an existing rifle line, with a range of variants that now includes the 300 BLK. The guns […]

National Preparedness Month
Did you know that September was National Preparedness Month in the United States? The firearms world frequently overlaps with other realms of interest like outdoor sports and politics. Another area of interest for many shooters is the idea of prepping. Prepping, or preparing for hard times, can be represented by some as a fringe activity, undertaken […]

Here is a photo of my friend Brian M. at the recent 2016 FN 3Gun Match. He made the muzzle brake himself. I just happened to capture the right moment and the muzzle flash. He is engaging some paper targets at about 20 yards using a Sig Romeo 3 red dot sight.

10th Anniversary Taurus Judge
Andrew of GY6 vids got his hands on a 10th Anniversary Taurus Judge. It is a great looking revolver with the wood grip and laser engravings. The hanging chickens is a bit disturbing. However the slow motion of the propane tank was pretty cool. The high speed camera captured an impressive looking fireball […]

Review: Iron City Rifle Works Tactical Advantage BCG
Right after we announced that Iron City Rifle Works was offering a new Tactical Advantage line of bolt carrier groups, they reached out to Phil to arrange for testing of the new design.
