Kalashnikov bolt hold open technique
So this video came out on Youtube recently, and it shows a fellow demonstrating a technique to hold open the bolt of a Kalashnikov operating system to the rear.

Meprolight EOTech Trade-in Offer
The Mako Group recently announced that they’ll give you a rebate towards one of their Meprolight optics if you trade in your “tired, old” EOTech optic.

New Trulock Choke Tube for Hog Hunters

Reconsidering the M1 Carbine as an Assault Rifle
The M1 Carbine is a weapon that, although popular with shooters and soldiers alike, has been unfairly dismissed in the broader context of the development of the modern assault rifle. Although initially fielded without select-fire capability, the lightweight and handy M1 Carbine was a surprisingly capable weapon, able to perform the combat roles of both […]

Sturmgewehr Field Strip (STG44/MP44/MP43)
The German Sturmgewehr is one of the most coveted and influential firearms of all time. Advanced collectors seek them out to round out their shrines, but getting behind one is a whole different kind of experience. The low recoil, controllability, and historical significance makes shooting a sturm a very pleasant experience. So what is underneath […]

Resurgence 3-Gun, reawakening the original
In what is looking to be a real blast from the past, a group of individuals are putting together something called Resurgence 3-Gun. It is a 3 gun competition, but the similarity with current 3 gun competitions is where it ends. Unbeknownst to me, the sport of 3 Gun as we know it today, got […]

One Inch Punch To Chamber A Pistol
Fieldcraft LLC shared this video of Tyler chambering a Glock by simply punching out fast. Similar to Bruce Lee’s infamous One Inch Punch, Tyler punches outward as he draws his Glock.

POTD: H&K SFP9 (The Politically Correct VP9)
Gabor Vass of Kalibre Magazine writes … Heckler und Koch…NO, it is not a VP9, in Europe it is called SFP9 (Striker Fired Pistol), because the Volkspistole Neun is not politically correct anymore.

UBML – Ambi Magazine Release for Restricted States
To me, its sad that a product like this has to exist in the first place, but exist it does. The UBML, an apt shortening of “Ultimate Bilateral Magazine Lock” is a ambidextrous pair to the “bullet buttons” required by states or countries that various restrictions on self-loading rifles. Thordsen Customs (who also makes a great […]
