.300 Blk For PA Deer Season
My friend Brian Miller sent this to me. Making an Ar-15 legal for Pennsylvania deer season. I have wanted to use my 16″ M4 AR in deer season. Unfortunately in my home state of Pa, in stock configuration, that is not legal. So I decided to remove the gasblock and gas tube, and machine a […]

Weatherby Offers Vanguard Leupold Package
To many firearms aficionados the Weatherby Vanguard isn’t just any rifle, it’s the heart of the company’s long gun line. Weatherby refers to Vanguards as “the flattest, fastest shooting rifles on the market” while reviewers at Field and Stream bill them as “one of the best hunting rifles around at any price.” There’s no doubt the […]

The Honor Defense Honor Guard Series
Honor Defense has introduced their new Honor Guard series of sub-compact 9mm handguns. Designed with usability in mind, the new handguns have a variety of features and options that will appeal to the market (that I personally feel was left hanging by the so-so Glock 43). The Honor Guard series is designed to be sub-compact 9mm […]

Review: DRD CDR-15 Take-Down AR-15 Rifle
Right now in the US, the market is so flooded with AR type rifles and accessories that prices are low, stores are stocked, and most consumers (myself included) aren’t as taken with the platform as they once were. AR fatigue is running pretty rampant, and to be honest it takes a lot to get me […]

Arizona Sheriff Adopts Russian Less Lethal Pistol
We have blogged about Russian and Eastern European less lethal rubber bullet guns many times before, but I never expected to blog about a Sheriff’s Office adopting them in the USA. In addition to a handgun and a Taser, Deputy officers in Pinal County, AZ will now be carrying Russian OSA PB4-2 Traumatic Pistols. This pistol was identified by […]

Making AK-47 Magazines – Matra in Bosnia
Its incredible to see the differences between the construction of the AR-15 and the AK-47. The AR relies on extensive use of forgings, extrusions, and machining (like those seen in 2A’s video). On the other hand, the AK uses as little of that as possible, using stamping wherever possible. The same can be said for […]

The Army’s New Shooter Education Videos – “The Shooter’s Corner”
Breaking from a long tradition of providing the most mundane and barely readable Training Manuals, the US Army is getting with the modern times with the release of their new “Shooter’s Corner” videos from the Army Marksmanship Unit. Production value is actually pretty good, especially for a basic training video though I do miss the old […]

MAS 49/56 Field Strip
The French MAS 49 rifles are spectacularly simple firearms that are both reliable and accurate. These terrific rifles are not priced high in the USA, and I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a vintage autoloader look no further. So, what makes the French gem tick? Thanks to our sponsor Ventura Munitions. Without them […]

POTD: DIY Bren AK
Saw this on social media. It has a CBS watermark. However, it is just a GIF. I am curious if this guy thinks this is the best method for shooting an AK or if he did this just for fun? It is odd and I don’t see how he could aim with the magazine sticking […]

Black Friday NICS checks breaks record
I used NICS (FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System) checks instead of gun sales, because in all honesty the news is about NICS, and not gun sales per say. I don’t know, there could have been a number of firearms traded or bought used last Friday as well. But regardless, this very closely correlates […]
