Wicked Grips New Grips and Gemstone Grip Screws
Wicked Grips recently released several new patterns of grips and gemstone inlaid grip screws. The set I received are made of aluminum with the Texas flag. This set has a somewhat worn look to them. The grips are very close to the same thickness as the SIG 938 factory grips. The new grip screws come […]

FN FS2000 Field Strip
The Belgian FN FS2000 is a very futuristic looking bullpup rifle that is sure to catch the eye of many folks at the range. Chambered in 5.56×45 and being very friendly to southpaws (forward ejecting with ambi controls), the gun offers a lot to the end user but has seen very little military adoption (Slovenia […]

22Plinkster Sees How His Ammo is Made
While there is a plethora of videos showing how common centerfire ammunition is made, 22LR and similar rimfire ammunition has been kept relatively close to the chest. CCI had a video out a few years ago, but it disappeared from their official YouTube outlet and was not saved anywhere that I remember. The general process […]

POTD: .300BLK AR Banana Peeled
I have not seen destruction of an AR upper receiver like this before. The left side of the upper receiver has been peeled open almost like a banana peel. Marky of Tactical Tshirts condemns the cartridge because it is too easy to mix up ammo and have a catastrophic failure.

Fabarm STF 12 Pistolgrip FE Shotgun
Here in the United States, Fabarm USA seems to be focused on sports shooting shotguns, and the Fabarm SpA STF 12 Professional shotguns are not imported (or at least not marketed if they are.) That’s really unfortunate as the guns look very interesting in a self defense or law enforcement role. Take, for example, the […]

Gungenics Cleaning System
Gun cleaning kits seem to be offered in a wide variety of packages, but few offer actual differences that distinguish between them. Occasionally, someone comes up with a new tool that offers an advantage – or at least a different way – to get your guns clean. The bore snake type tools are a good […]

HK MR556 SBR (Civilian HK416)
The H&K MR556 rifle is essentially a 416 without select-fire capability, but this video showcases an MR556 that has been brought up to near 416 specs. With a chopped barrel and a few other modifications, the gun could fool all but the most discerning onlookers. So, how does it shoot? Transcript … (rifle fires) (rifle fires) […]

Review: Magpul Tejas “El Original” Gun Belt
There is nothing quite like carrying your gun with a great gun belt and nothing more annoying than a floppy belt. The last gun belt I bought, a Crossbreed belt, turned out to be less than ideal and started breaking down after about a year of use. Then Nathan posted about the upcoming Tejas belt […]

The Gevær M/53-17 Better Known As The M1917
The Gevær M/53-17 is a rifle that you and I would likely not recognize if we saw the name in print or heard someone talking about it in the gun shop. What you don’t know is that the Gevær M/53-17 is nothing more than a slightly modified M1917 Enfield, often referred to as “the American […]

Review: Bergara B-14 Woodsman Rifle
In a world where development has gone semi-auto mad, its refreshing to see a company take a step back and work on refining what has worked for over a hundred years – the traditional hunting bolt-action rifle. Introduced just a few years ago, the Bergara B-14 rifles are exactly that, traditional hunting bolt-action rifles, this time […]

Review: TargetVision Wireless Spotting Scope “Marksman”
There was a time not so long ago that long-range shooters had to have a second set of really expensive glass and typically a friend to call shots are long-range. It turned long-range shooting into a group activity, allowing friends to share experiences, and other sappy things. But, that often communal activity required said friend […]

Polish Special Forces Music Video
I saw a video promoting the Polish Special Forces. The Jednostka Wojskowa Komandosów, commonly called JWK, was formed in 1961 and is the oldest Polish special operations unit. This video shows some JWK soldiers watching over an elderly lady as she walks through the woods to fetch her mail. Later it seems she is family […]

The Beretta CX4 Storm: An Underrated Carbine
The Beretta CX4 storm is an affordable, blowback 9mm carbine that really doesn’t get too much attention here in the States, but is hugely popular in Canada due to a loophole that allows 10 round magazines to be used with it. While the marketplace for pistol caliber carbines is a crowded one, the CX4 is […]
