The More You Know: Length Of Pull
Like a lot of technical terms in the firearms world, the ‘length of pull’ measurement is used often, but may not always be properly understood. And while the concept itself is pretty simple, I decided to consult an expert for a full explanation. Luckily for me, I already had the right guy to call in […]

Fenix CL25R Rechargeable Camping Lantern
Remember the old original Coleman lanterns? Remember lantern fuel, mantles, etc.? A bit of a hassle, but they got the job done. Then along came battery powered incandescent lanterns…one of my favorites (remember this?) Today we have LED lanterns. There have been a number of such devices written up in the pages of TFB, including […]

M1 Garand Field Strip
The American M1 Garand was the world’s first general issue semi-automatic rifle. It is famous for many reasons (such as the harmonious ping it makes when ejecting its en bloc clip), but it is a magnificent piece of engineering that you can only truly appreciate by seeing what’s inside. Transcript … – [Voiceover] Hey guys, […]

Review:Dmitry Sinkevich Zero Tolerence Design 0456

Fenix RC11 Rechargeable Flashlight
For your consideration is another nice light from Fenix. The good folks at Fenix Lighting were kind enough to provide this light for review. This light follows with a trend that was started, arguably, years ago with the old “magcharger”…only in this instance we benefit from more modern battery chemistry and charging options – and […]

Whatever Happened To Kalashnikov USA’s Guns?
Remember a while back that we were supposed to be getting Kalashnikov guns that were built right here in the USA? I seem to vaguely recall TFB covering Kalashnikov USA’s new product line at SHOT 2016 where they gave a tentative release date of Spring of 2016. Like you might have noticed spring has passed and […]

KSG vs. DP-12 – Epic Comparison Video
I love bullpups and I love shotguns, so it should stand to reason that I would love bullpup shotguns. Right? Wrong. Having shot multiple KSG shotguns, I have nearly given up on the weapon type due to reliability, practicality, and other personal gripes. As such, I am thrilled that Andrew at GY6 Vids took the time […]

TFB Writers MOA All Day Challenge- Rusty S.
For this challenge, I used two firearms. In anticipation of pronghorn season, I brought out my 6.5 Grendel AR. For the other firearm, when Pete first brought up the challenge with the title “MOA All Day”, I immediately thought of a belt-fed with a quick change barrel, as they can shoot “All Day” a bit […]

POTD: SPPD Arrest Man With Backwards Bullets
Thanks to Adam Scepaniak for sending this one our way. According to their Twitter feed, St. Paul Police Dept arrested a suspect for pointing a gun. They seized his Bersa Thunder .380.

A 12 Gauge Shotgun will “Kill” How Far?
Eric’s series on “How Far Will (Insert Caliber/Weapon Here) Kill” has been quite the learning experience. Using a 3/4″ in plyboard as the standard for a potentially lethal wound, even the lowly 22 LR stretches its legs hundreds of yards. Now, Eric and the IV8888 team tackle what might the the hardest to quantify, the […]

Upgrading A Century Arms RAS47 Zhukov
I got my hands on a Century Arms RAS47 Zhukov. Now I am a complete newbie with regards to AK pattern weapons. I can count how many times I have shot an AK on one hand prior to getting the RAS47 Zhukov. I know there are many people out there who like the classic wood […]

PS90: Toy or Tool?
The 5.7x28mm cartridge is certainly a divisive round. On one hand, you have people making ludicrously grandiose claims about its effectiveness, while others simply write it off as a gimmick or overpriced .22WMR from Belgium. A long time ago I wrote the PS90 off as a pointless, but fun rifle (having little utility but being […]

As a follow up to the ‘Can You Shoot MOA All Day Long?‘ post from a few weeks ago, I asked a few of my fellow TFB writers if they would be willing to participate in an in-house precision challenge. If you remember from our original story, ‘MOA All Day’ is a simple test of […]
