TFB Review: Boyds Agility Stock
For many years Boyds has been the main name that comes to mind when it comes to replacement hunting rifle stocks. The classic models offer an excellent choice for a straightforward replacement and the AT One has always been the tricked-out model for those who want tons of adjustability.

5.7mm on the Rise? Ruger Releases the New 5.7x28mm LC Carbine
The 5.7x28mm is quite an interesting cartridge. Developed in the 80s at the behest of NATO as an intended replacement for the long-lived 9×19 cartridge, 5.7 promised to have better range, better accuracy, greater capacity firearms, and better terminal performance – even against lightly armored targets. However, almost 40 years later, the 5.7x28mm cartridge is […]

Bear Creek Arsenal’s New BC-15 17HMR Billet Upper Receiver

Bear Creek Arsenal is following up the success of their .22WMR AR-15 upper with the release of […]
