[SHOT 2016] Kriss and Sphinx History
I stopped at the Kriss booth to see if they were going to share when we might see the Sphinx Standard starting to ship when I noticed a beat to hell Vector in a glass case. I stopped my friend Mytchel mid sentence to ask what the deal was with the Vector. Mytchel informed me that […]

[SHOT 2016] Larue’s MBT-2S AR-15 Trigger
Many of you know that Larue introduced their very own AR-15 trigger to the market this year. They call it the MBT or Meticulously Built Trigger. I am slowly becoming a bit of a trigger snob after installing a SSA-E into one of my rifles, impressing me with a trigger is getting harder and harder. […]

[SHOT 2016] Just Right Carbines
Maybe I’ve got a sort of a thing for pistol caliber carbines. Anyway, I happened upon the booth for Just Right Carbines and decided that there could never be enough options available for one shopping pistol caliber carbines. Just Right Carbines are completely ambidextrous, with bolt and ejection switchable without a gunsmith. They are available […]

MTM Quick Rest
We’ve all been there: at the range or out at our favorite shooting spot, and in need of a rest for our rifle. Although there are quite a few out there of varying sizes, weights, and fillings, most have one thing in common: they’re heavy – or at least not exactly light. One of the […]

Rocky Venator Camo: An Entirely New Pattern
Rocky has been around since 1932 when a pair of brothers by the name of Bill and Mike Brooks decided to found a shoe factory in Ohio. That was during the Great Depression, so it was a serious leap of faith. Over the years Rocky hasn’t just succeeded, they’ve flourished, and now they’ve come up […]

[SHOT 2016] Archangel Yugo AK47 Furniture
If you own a Yugo variant AK47 like me then you know the aftermarket for Yugo parts is seriously lacking. There’s the Magpul Yugo Zhukov-S Stock and the Tapco M70 T6 stock as well as a few various adapters but not much else. Yugo AK47s are great rifles, their quality and accuracy is pretty good […]

Battleline Industries has a small kiosk just outside the press room here at SHOT Show 2016. Their “Ambidextrous Glock Magazine Release” caught my attention.
