Tactical Tailor/Mil Spec Monkey Adapt Pack
In the past my go to general use back packs have always been the Eagle AIII and the ATS/Lightfighter RAID but they were somewhat overkill for what I usually needed. With that in mind I recently started looking for something a bit smaller, lighter, and cheaper. In my search I came across the Adapt pack … Continue reading Tactical Tailor/Mil Spec Monkey Adapt Pack →
Where are they now? -Updated
I’ve been seeing various commentary about how the rights for the AA-12 are going up for sale and it got me thinking about some of the other fad weapons. How many sane people thought that the AA12 would ever be considered practical for anything? Awesomely fun, certainly, but not useful. I remember seeing people online … Continue reading Where are they now? -Updated →
MR556/HK416 HKParts.net 10.4in barrel conversion kit
A little while back I came into a couple of cheap MR556 uppers where the barrels had been trashed. I expected getting a replacement HK barrel wouldn’t be too bad. That was a mistake. As I went to shop around for barrels, I found Brownells listed them. Right now I am unable to find it … Continue reading MR556/HK416 HKParts.net 10.4in barrel conversion kit →

20 Years With a Model 590 Mossberg
The Mossberg 590 shotgun has been around a long time and needs no introduction by me. That is for the best, since this article is not really a historic recounting of the weapon but more of a look back at a shotgun that I and a dear friend have a 20 year history with. The … Continue reading 20 Years With a Model 590 Mossberg →

Building an AR15 upper
Going from a pile of parts to a functioning AR isn’t very hard. There are countless youtube videos and guides on how to build AR15s. This isn’t a detailed guide, but a little commentary on the last upper I assembled. I find installing the port cover annoying. I’ve done it enough times I can do … Continue reading Building an AR15 upper →

At the NRA show a couple weeks ago I stopped by the Inland booth to talk to the guys and … Continue reading Inland MFG’s National Match Retro M1911 →
