POTD: MP5-esque 9mm AR
An interesting compatibility of parts. Brian B. built this cool SBR. First he started with just a SBR and a barrel extension. Then he got his preferred can. I was a bit confused as to how the MP5SD handguard was attached to the AR upper receiver. Turns out it is a perfect fit over […]

About 15 years ago I sadly boxed up a brand new Red Dot Optic for it’s return to the manufacturer without ever having used it to fire a shot – the reticle was a blurry burst rather than a crisp clear dot. But before I called and asked for a return authorization, I decided to […]

1886 Lebel Rifle: The Gun That Changed The World
The legendary French Lebel rifle was a revolution in small arms design: It introduced smokeless powder, which gave the rifle double the power and effective range of its competitors like the Mauser 1871/84 or American Springfield Trapdoor.
