I found this picture online when I was looking for a chart, I don’t know how up to date it is. Now I’m not a big fan of the Boresnake as I think people use it in lieu of a proper cleaning, but I do think the Boresnake is a very useful tool well worth ... Read morePSA: Boresnakes are color coded.

Disclosure:  I don’t mean this as a proper review as this was broken and missing parts when I received it. The ARMS 40 Std A2 rear sight is an older designed BUIS that is spring loaded to flip up and does not lock.  Windage adjustments are .75 MOA. A few years ago now, I received ...

Again today we have the re post from weaponsman.com.  Kevin, AKA “Hognose” passed away last year and to preserve his work we repost his writing here to save it .   By Kevin O’Brien We’re not referring to those shotshells containing stainless (or not) steel shot, designed by environmentalists to embugger waterfowl and upland hunters.  We’re talking ...

Some years back I wanted a Larue Tactical PredatAR upper.  They didn’t sell the uppers separately so I bought an entire rifle and sold the Larue lower.  I sold the lower for $500 and it sold in 15 minutes. Guess I should have priced it higher. At first mounted a muzzle break on it, and ... Read moreA look at the 5.56 Larue Ultimate Upper

Everyone is at the least familiar with the Surefire X300 weapon light.  It’s been around a long while now  for something gun related.  Recently they have come up with a upgrade on the old X300 with the 300U-A  and B. The A uses the old system and the B has the new T-slot  with bolt ... Read moreSurefire X300U-B

Rock Island Auction  has been putting out teasers for an upcoming auction. This one  being worthy of sharing I thought. Everyone recognizes the iconic Thompson SMG ( no relation to me ) but what’s that BAR with the weird looking stock?  That is the ultra rare Colt Monitor Machine Rifle. The idea was a shortened ...

Last week I went and bought another something that I really don’t need.  A Surefire M25 from CDNN.  It showed up today. This is from the dark and early days of primitive weapon lights.  The manual has a revision date of 1-1-2006.  So by weapon light standards, this is positively ancient. This Surefire M25 I received ... Read moreRetro – Surefire M25

Dredging up another old post for those who may never dip into our back archives. I know I said we would start doing this back in the early summer.

I took this pictures a week ago.  I was plinking with an old Trijicon Reflex Sight. At one point I decided to shoot at the clay pidgeon chips on the berm.  I noticed I was having a little difficulty focusing on them.  Then I realized I was seeing them with my left eye, and couldn’t ...

This photo has been making the rounds on the usual gun boards lately.   In it you can see a display of some new stuff the AF is reportedly using to upgrade at least some of their M4/M4A1s.   The new uppers with more modern rails being the point of interest.

I don’t have an real content for you guys today, so here are a couple of photos.

I have a Geissele AR15 reaction rod and while I think it was pricey, I have gotten my moneys worth out of it.  Since I bought it the price has gone up to $100.  If I had to replace it I would probably just buy the Magpul BEV Block at half the cost.

Stumbled across this video today.  The source (imgur) says that it is Indonesian Special Forces training. It is a good thing that the shooter on the left is wearing eye protection, otherwise someone might get hurt.

The Smarter Every Day youtube channel posted this cool video showing some slow motion video of translucent suppressors.  Very cool. We also learn that Arcylic isn’t an ideal material for silencer tubes.

Of all the things guns are, I am sick of hearing that firearms are an investment.  They are not. While many guns will hold their value, and some do appreciate in value, they are not an investment. The classic argument I commonly see and get told is that if  you bought a M16 in 1986 ... Read moreRant: Firearms are not an investment.
