(Article originally published on Spotter Up by Jay Amra) Out of the box the weapon looks quite impressive. The first thing I noticed was the 15 inch Keymond hand guard. This gives the Patriot an aggressive look that’s sure to appeal to most shooters. The hand guard houses the standard 16″ barrel afforded to civilian […]
(Note: Article originally written by Max Slowik and published on Gunsamerica.com) The Advanced Armament Corp. is launching a new standard for their in-house handguards called SquareDrop. Based on the open-source KeyMod standard, SquareDrop will work with KeyMod accessories in addition to AAC’s SquareDrop hardware. The result is a lightweight, minimalist set of handguards with a fresh, sleek […]
The AR-15 is probably the most versatile firearm in the world: easily configurable to meet any situation, lightweight, accurate, and reliable. It would be the ideal backpack rifle…if you could fit one in a backpack. Thanks to the National Firearms Act you need a 16-inch barrel (unless you’ve completed an annoyingly time-consuming amount of paperwork). With […]
The AR-15 and its cousin, the select-fire-capable M4 carbine, have served the United States Armed Forces and many of its allies for nearly 50 years.

The DD5V1 is Daniel Defense’s first foray into the .308 Win. world. This direct-impingement carbine feels deceptively light. After removing my sample rifle from its hard shipping case and checking to be sure the action was clear, the first thing I noticed upon shouldering was the gun’s excellent balance. I would have sworn this was […]

Dietz, Jr., who was killed in action on June 28, 2005, while fighting Taliban insurgents in Operation Red Wings. That battle and […]
I just spoke with my friend and former SEAL Team 3 teammate Chris Kyle today. I called to ask him his advice regarding my own upcoming media tour with the release of my book April 10th. After a shooting the shit we ended up talking about the SOFREP TV show (well…we ended talking about beer […]
This photo really says it all for me. It’s not meant to pick on LaRue Tactical, I hear they make fine guns although I’ve never shot one. So what’s wrong with the sniper rifle of today? What’s plaguing an industry of copy cats and me too AR platforms? They are way too heavy and too […]
