Arisaka Inline and Offset Picatinny Mounts Released

Alpha Wolf Compensator from Lone Wolf
Lone Wolf is selling a compensator designed to work with their barrels (and I presume an others that meet the specifications) in 9mm, 40S&W, and their 9mm conversion for 40 S&W.

Ruger LCR in .327 Federal Magnum
Ruger is now selling the LCR in a new caliber: .327 Federal Magnum. The new versions of the compact revolver are very similar to the original gun, with the biggest change – other than the caliber itself – being the cylinder holds 6 rounds instead of 5. The .327 Federal Magnum was introduced at the […]

Thompson Machine Gun Auctioned for $35k
Probably not all that interesting to some, but I found it noteworthy. Not being a collector, I had no idea how much pre-stamp machine guns went for. $35,000. Plus a modest 5% buyers fee of $1,750… Supply and demand in action. This one was marked U.S. NAVY, MODEL OF 1921 (overstamped 1928) and apparently had papers registering […]

Browning Introduces Full Line of Ammunition
Browning partnered with Winchester to develop a complete line of ammunition. No word yet on the calibers and bullet designs. This represents a large shift for Browning, and their owners FNH USA, into the profitable ammunition sector. Why make money only when you sell a gun when you can instead make money every time the […]

How It Was Made – Remington in the Mid-Century
Watching this video, I have a whole new appreciation of the manufacturing technologies of today. Modern CNC machines have a massive advantage over the CNC machines of old. Still, amazing things were possible using analog machines with the right set-ups and processes. Remington of old had this down to a “T”. The video showcases the […]

Gun Oil Not Meant For Your Firearm!
At first, reading the story carried over at The Blaze, I thought we had yet another FireClean firestorm, but nope, a little bit of detailed reading and the H20 based “Gun Oil” is not actually meant for your firearm. its meant for your… member. Hilariously mistaken for an actual firearm lubricant, Jamie Lee Bracey found […]

Swiss Civilian Range Day
Here is a video about Swiss civilians and their firearm ownership. I find it interesting that the Swiss Goverment hands out practice ammo for these special range days for all armed citizens to practice with. There are some details of the range, in the video, interesting. Particularly the items around the shooter. In the screenshot […]

Norwegian Special Forces Commercial
Rather cool video showcasing Norwegian Special Forces. A lot of the video clips look like they came from training and public demonstrations. You will see a lot of vehicles and copious amounts of M4 use.

SCCY Factory Tour
I recently had the opportunity to tour the SCCY factory in Daytona Beach and get a look at one of the company’s new pistols. All of the company’s employees and management were very accommodating and allowed me unlimited access to their facility. Anything I asked was directly answered, and I was allowed to photograph nearly […]

SIG MCX Giveaway (And Now Shipping in 5.56mm)
SIG is now shipping the MCX in 5.56mm for those of you that have been patiently waiting. I do appreciate that manufacturers are efforting out platforms that allow for reconfiguration with other components that you may have, and the MCX (obviously not the 5.56) that I got to fondle at BMC Tactical was exceptionally nice. […]

Urban Carry Holster for Deep Concealment
This is an interesting holster design. At first i was a little concerned about drawing the gun from deep concealment, but the design seems rather quick and intuitive. One aspect that I like is that by using your support hand to draw the holster out of deep concealment, it places the hand in a safe […]

“Not Much For Fighting”: The Spencer Carbine, At LooseRounds
The Spencer Carbine was one of the first successful repeating rifles ever fielded by the US Army, seeing use in the Civil War. Despite being a very advanced design for the period offering firepower well above what muzzleloading rifled-muskets of the period were capable of, the Spencer has been denigrated in retrospect due to its cartridge, which […]

In Defense Of The Mosin Nagant: The Nerd’s Milsurp
A week ago, Alex C. and Miles Vining pitted the Russian Mosin-Nagant against the German Mauser Gewehr 98 in a battle royale shootout to see which was the best rifle. Unsurprising to some, and outrageous to others, Paul Mauser’s masterpiece took home the gold and handily beat the Three Line Rifle, scoring more hits more quickly […]
