CZ Scorpion Evo3 Mag Loader
Rae Industries has made a bullet loader for the CZ-USA Scorpion Evo3 magazine. The single mag loader is ok. I was never a fan of these style of mag loaders. Like the ones that come with Glocks and Springfield XDs. They are so inferior to the Maglula Uplula loader. Now the 5rd mag loader […]

POTD: The Original Remington 51
Below are some photos of my personal Remington 51, made between 1921 and 1923. It’s in remarkably good shape for a gun that’s over 90 years old, and is definitely the best condition Model 51 I’ve ever seen in person or in photographs (so, naturally, I had to buy it). My Remington 51 is in […]
