How To Zero an AK (the Russian Way)
While I am steadily growing more fond of my AR, I do have a love for my AK. The simplicity and ruggedness are just things I really appreciate (and the ability to do field repairs with a soda can is helpful too…). The guys at akoperatorsunionlocal4774.com put together a short and well explained video on how to […]

New NRA MAG-LOCK Pistol Case
The NRA has come out with a pistol case they say gives the protection of a hard-shell case in soft-sided form.

The Mind-Bending AN-94 Rifle: Yesterday’s Rifle Of Tomorrow
The late-Soviet-era AN-94 is a rifle that, in the West, is shrouded in hype, speculation, but, above all, mystery. The rifle’s capabilities, how it works, how it’s made, and who exactly uses it (and for what) are all matters the West has only been able to speculate on. Larry Vickers had a chance to shoot […]

[Steve’s Pick] Best new Product of SHOT ’15: The Leupold D-EVO Scope
Of all the new products at SHOT Show, only one new product made me say “****, I never knew I needed this, but I do”. That product was the Leupold D-EVO Scope and so I am declaring it “the most impressive new product at SHOT Show 2015″. (This is my personal opinion. This award was not bought or paid […]

Kurdish Zagros Gen 2
In 2012 TFB published an extensive post about a homemade rifle being used by the PKK in their fight against Turkey. Recently, a photo has surfaced of the same rifle but with a few upgrades and thus I’m calling it the Gen 2. The additions seem to be the removal of the monopod, more ventilation […]

POTD: You’re never too old
This was one of a number of photos published on Facebook. As far as I can tell, they show a self-defence militia training in Zhydachiv, a city in Western Ukraine not far from the Polish border. The gun looks to be an H&K MP5 or clone and is fully automatic. Thanks to Tony for sending this […]

One Way The CMMG Mutant Is Different
Partially as a result of the AK’s success, non-Kalashnikov designs utilizing the magazine of the 7.62x39mm Avtomat were few and far between until very recently. Due in part to civilian demand, in part the needs of special forces, and in part to countries armed with aging 7.62mm AK rifles looking to replace them – but […]

PolyCase Introduces the Inceptor Injection-Molded Ammo Brand
Its not everyday that someone introduces a new line of ammunition, much less one that is injection-molded, lead-free, and claims that the ideal self-defense round does not expand. But, today (er, yesterday), was the day and PolyCase, a company out of Savannah, Georgia, introduced its Inceptor line of ammunition. The ammunition line includes four distinct […]

SilencerCo’s SALVO-12 Now Available for Saiga’s
Somehow a brand new product has “archival footage; the SALVO-12 shotgun suppressor is now compatible with Saiga shotguns. Tongue in cheek (which I found hilarious) footage aside, the core message is that SilencerCo has released the Saiga Choke Mount Adapter. It is available now for $120 direct from SilencerCo and throughout their distribution network. MAG DUMP FOR […]

Small Caliber Book Reviews: U.S. Rifle M14, From John Garand To The M21
As in all Small Caliber Book Reviews here at TFB, I will be covering the area of relevance and strengths and weaknesses of the book, as well as whether it is more introductory or advanced. The recent mud and sand tests of the M14 by InRange TV have blackened the eye of that rifle somewhat, but rather […]

Man-PACK Conceal Sling Bag
At the Great American Outdoor Show, I came across Man-Pack. I am a recovering sucker of things in Multicam so their new Stalker series pack stood out for me.
