While attending the National Guard 2013 sniper competition this weekend and meeting up with some friends, I met up with Tony Burkes, the CEO of TAB Gear. I’ve known Tony for some time know and have always loved the products he brings to the precision rifle community. I knew Tony had been in the works […]
Yesterday while performing some test with the Reaper 33 AR, Templar Tactical decided to bring out an array of their suppressors. I’m a big fan of good quality suppressors and relied on them while deployed. Here is a little info on the Templar Tactical’s. Stay tuned for high quality footage and demo’s of the suppressors. […]
As pistol shooters, we often find ourselves getting into the “Deck Out Your Pistol” community, I’m one of them. I’ve personally tricked out the trigger on my Glock 23, replacing the 5.5 lb. trigger with a 2.5 lb., added competition sights, lightened the spring, replaced the rod, etc.,.

The MAG5-60 is only 1.75 inches longer than a 30 rounder and twice as thick. The MAG5-60 is compatible with all M-16 and AR-15 variants plus […]
If you purchase your own short barrel upper receiver and then have it put on your unit’s property book before you deploy then *cough-cough* the MP’s will never know that it wasn’t issued when they inspect your ISU-90’s. What they don’t know can’t hurt them. Besides, there is black side equipment we don’t even talk […]
The good folks at THULS sent us a few custom sniper data books to take a look at a while back. I ended up giving one of the books to a sniper in the SEAL Teams and he’s not given it back yet, and this is always a good sign. He did report back that the […]
