New Frontier’s C-5 AR Lower: The Secret ingredient is MP5 Magazines

New Frontier Armory (NFA) is shipping their C-5 AR receivers. Not just another Colt clone, these guns run MP5 magazines. The big advantage to this is that the MP5 magazines are great in carbines and rifles. The Colt magazines were hard to load and prone to failures. I have been working with Pistol Caliber Carbines […]

Recover Tactical has developed a new grip and rail system to fit the Beretta 92 family. The BC2 takes your non-railed Beretta and gives it a solid integral rail 1.8 inches long.

Gun Laws Got You Down? The Bolt Blocker Converts Your Modern Sporting Rifle into 50 State Legal “Single-Action” Firearm

New calls to “do something” are coming every day as the left exploits the victims of violence to support their agenda of civilian disarmament. Many states have enacted unconstitutional legislation to restrict ownership of common semi-automatic rifles and others are drafting new laws. The Bolt Blocker offers a 50 state legal conversion to turn your […]

Crosshair Hydraulic Buffer Review

Crosshair Hydraulic Buffer: Shoot Straight and Protect Your Carbine

Crosshair recoil buffers are a hydraulic rate/recoil-reducing buffer which provides a drop-in replacement for existing mechanical buffers.

Linear deceleration technology helps increase service life of parts by reducing the force of […]
