Can The ATN ThOR 4 Get You Out To Long Ranges?
I’ll admit, prior to this review my opinion of ATN was a bit mixed. Around 5 years ago, we had access to an early version of one of their thermal scopes, and it was not ready for primetime. Luckily my opinion has changed after getting some time with the ATN ThOR 4 at a recent […]

New DeSantis Holsters Options for Springfield Armory SA-35

Radical Firearms RF-22 Rimfire Rifle
TacSol and Volquarsten have some competition with Radical Firearms’ relatively new RF-22. Designed as an out-of-the-box accurized semiauto rimfire, the RF-22 features a Picatinny rail integrated with the receiver, a machined bolt and a match-grade threaded barrel with muzzle brake. I’m not certain why a .22LR needs a muzzle brake, but I guess it looks […]

TFB Review: Bourne Precision Fury AR-15/AR-10 Charging Handle
When it comes to hunting and shooting modern sporting rifles (commonly referred to as AR-15/AR-10 rifles) most of the essential components that make up these firearms are merely an after-thought. That is, unless they fail you. If shooters allow their rifle to get too dirty or they are “too cheap” when it comes to purchasing […]

BOLO: Otter Creek Labs Suppressors And Muzzle Devices
No, that is not an Allen Engineering AEM5 over-the-barrel suppressor pictured above. That is an OCM5 from Otter Creek Labs, a relatively new and up-and-coming manufacturer causing a stir in the world of rifle suppressors.
