Lightning Review: Olight M18 Maverick
I have always carried a flashlight in some form or another and over the years I have gone though quite a few of them. My last light was a Fenix PD32 which I liked, but still felt like I was having to settle on the features. So when I lost my PD32 a week before […]

Is CETME Why GSG Don’t Think HK Own The Rights to The MP5 Design?
If you missed our last post on the subject, H&K are being sued by German Sports Guns and American Tactical Imports. GSG and ATI claim H&K did not own the rights to the MP5 design patent (that is the look of the gun, not the operation/internals) when H&K sued them for infringing on it with […]

SIG’s Dispute with the BATFE Over MPX Muzzle Brake Continues
Guns.com is reporting that the Sig Sauer and the ATF have not yet come to a resolution on their previously reported dispute over the civlian-oriented MPX pistol-caliber carbine muzzle brake.

Ammo Prices: 09/12/2014
Week 24. Overall it looks like more vendors have slight reductions in PPR than have increased. There is some 22LR for $0.10 (but only 3 boxes when I compiled this); otherwise it is still silly expensive. Or maybe we just need to move on and accept that these are the new prices(and secretly wish that […]

BATFE Phone Call Asking For Return of Approved Trust Form 1
The BATFE now want to get the documents they approved back. They seem confused if Trusts are persons or not persons. Its all quite hilarious. They are definitely always persons, but … also not always. Thanks to orpheus762x51 for going through this BATFE process for the benefit (and entertainment) of all of us, and aqufrost for posting the audio on YouTube.

ATF Approves Post-86 Machine Gun Form 1
A while back we blogged about an individual who took the Prince Law Office’s determination that, as a result of the ATF clarifying that “unincorporated trusts” are not “persons” under the Gun Control Act, it may have opened a way for trusts to manufacture new Post-86 machine guns. As I have written about before, machine […]

High Speed, Low Drag MSBS Rifle Promo Video
Being a writer in the industry, we get bombarded with videos, pictures, and media on a daily basis. Sometimes, something just stands out by virtue of the filming, weapon system, production value, or a combination of the three. The video created for the MSBS (now fielded polish rifle) certainly caught my attention. Well staged and […]

POTD: The Golden Chicken AK
Kids, drug money does not buy class. Proof of this are the many hideous custom guns confiscated by Latin American law enforcement from drug lords. Back in 2009 I blogged a photo of a highly customized golden AK with a horse head as the front sight. I have embedded it below. That gun was clearly made by […]

Bullets Loaded Backwards
Saw this on Every Day No Days Off. Mike, of ENDO, posted a video by The Ammo Channel. The Ammo Channel looks at an internet myth of loading bullets backwards to increase damage. The results are interesting but it doesn’t seem like a good idea.
