To the first-time AK builder, the task in front of him or her can seen daunting, or even impossible.

There are some resources available online to aid […]

The Guns Of Parisian Law Enforcement
Let it not be said that when provoked, Paris won’t respond in kind. Following the cowardly attacks on the city last week, the French National Police came out in force armed with several different kinds of firearms, some fairly old but still very capable in the hands of trained professionals.

ATN Introduces the X-Sight Night Sight and BinoX
I think it’s safe to say anyone who loves to shoot also enjoys night vision gear. The only problem up until now has been the sometimes prohibitive cost or if you could afford a night vision rifle scope or binoculars the quality was usually pretty bad and required auxiliary lighting. These new products from ATN […]

One of my competitive shooting buddies texted me that his friend is looking to get rid of some of his family’s firearms. Most of them were some form of shotgun and two lever guns. What caught my eye was this side by side 20 gauge shotgun. The forwarded text I received was “I have a […]

Official Launch of FNH USA’s Military Collector Series
Although FNH USA prominently featured their commercial version of the M249 at last spring’s NRA Meeting, they’re just now announcing the official launch of the FN Military Collector Series.

OT Defense SLS “Nub” Mod
Earlier on TFB we reported about Oregon Trail Defense’s ALS “Nub” Mod for the Safariland line of Level 3 retention holsters.

Rebuttal for TFB’s Sturmgewher Article

Bullpup AR Conversion
Recently I stumbled upon this gem of creativity, a fellow somewhere in the US who designed and put together a bullpup configuration of an AR15 by re-configuring the trigger group into a stock, putting a pistol grip and trigger guard along the rail system, raising the EoTech by about 2 inches with a rail riser […]

In a recent article on Guns.com shows an outlined plan for Colt Defense to get itself out of the current financial quagmire that it finds itself in these days.
