When reading through comments on a webpage or social media site, a response of +1 typically means the commenter agrees with something that was previously stated by saying he or she is one more person to state whatever point was made.

FN49 Run and Gun (Malfunctions Galore!)
The FN49 is the predecessor to the much more famous FN FAL rifle, and the book about the rifle is accurately titled “The Rifle That Ran Out Of Time”.

Now, SMG Guns has released a promo video for their new Type I FG-42, reproducing the earlier, lighter, and frankly cooler-looking German paratroop rifle for the US civilian market. The video […]

New Realtree Gun Safe
Gun storage is something that comes up with increasing frequency in my house thanks to the way our firearms seem to multiply like rabbits. Efficient organizing is something else I, personally, attempt to carry out, and that certainly comes into play with storing firearms.

Lever-Action Winchester 1895 in 7.62x54R

New Hogue AR-15 Grips
Most of us own at least one AR-15. We may have different reasons for owning them thanks to their versatility – plinking, hunting, competition, home defense – but we have them. And of those many, many AR-15s there probably are not many that remain as they were the day they first came out of the […]
