Spikes tactical lower, BCM 14.5 upper, blah blah blah… What’s on this build isn’t as important as why it’s on here. This is my “I had no prep time and I gotta fight” carbine. I could go with a shorter barrel and suppress it, but in my research and experience, 5.56 comes out of a […]
Kershaw Natrix XL Folding Knife: Size Matters
The Kershaw Natrix XL is a large, capable blade. Big enough to fight with, slim and well designed enough to conceal easily. Featuring a heat treated blade, it’s tough enough for any job around the campsite. The super smooth opening and pocket clip placement mean its easy to get into action. The frame lock means […]
One Bag to Carry it All: The Arc’teryx LEAF Khard Backpack
Most everyone carries a bag, whether it’s a backpack, purse, messenger bag, or if you’re a tourist in DC, a fanny pack and FBI hat with CIA shirt. Now, if you were in the military, your bag was a ruck. And if you served a while back, as I did, your ruck had an external frame that […]
Photo of the day: My Roland (Fauxland) Special
Not a true Roland because it has an ARC compensator and TLR-1 instead of the original KKM and X300, but there’s something about the way the comp and light match up that I like. Had my TF 300 warrior brother do a cerakote job for me on it. Still a work in progress. I got […]

I Doubt James Bond Ever Had to Deal With This…
Merry Christmas to All, we sincerely hope each and every one of you has a safe and happy day surrounded by family and loved ones. Originally, I was going to write about a Christmas being away from home, but even a good story and a funny one is a bit depressing when you’re far from […]
Savage Arms Model 10T Tactical Bolt-Action Rifle
A couple of years ago I was bitten by the long-range bug. I started devouring every morsel of information I could get my hands on in relation to sending projectiles a very long way into small targets. It did not take long to realize my budget and my dreams did not match up very well. I turned […]

The National Rifle League .22 (NRL22) Shooting Match
I’ve shot rifles my entire life and spent the last couple of years trying to learn the precision and long-range game.  Although I am still very much a beginner with a long way to go I have become interested in competing to see just how good I am compared to other shooters.  I quickly became […]
Photo of the day: My M1917, Carried in WWI and still in use today
This is an M1917 my grandpa bought from the CMP in the 50s for $12. It has signal corps markings on the .455 Webley barrel. Somewhere along the way, it got a .45ACP cylinder. Needs moon clips to get proper headspace. Has a very smooth, heavy double action trigger and a single action trigger that puts […]
