This is my Custom AK. I had it made as a sort of hybrid between the AK-74 and AK-105 models. Chambered in 5.45 because I had it built back when 1,080 round spam cans of 7n6 were $130. But I like how similar 5.45 is to 5.56 so the loss of super cheap ammo hasn’t stopped […]

Photo of the day: A Contractors go-to Carbine
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 […]
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 […]

Henry 45-70 Lever Action Rifle
The lever action rifle is a part of America. It helped tame the west and was a brilliant design in its own right when it was first produced. I personally was taught to shoot on a Marlin golden Mountie in .22 LR as a child. There are several manufacturers in the USA who produce a […]

CMMG Banshee | .300 BLK Lead-slinger
As CMMG passes 16 years in the firearms industry, it’s clear that their company has seen its share of ups and downs in the market. Between the panic buying days of 2008 to the easy-going “salad days” of 2018, much has changed. So too the company has changed over the years, but only for the […]
A Video Breakdown of the Honey Badger by Q
The Honey Badger is one of those few firearms that ascends above popular status and (for many) attains that highest level: iconic. It helped to redefine what a personal-defense weapon (PDW) should do, and how it should look. While stuck in development hell as designer Kevin Brittingham went from AAC to Sig to his latest […]

They liked the weapon a lot but wanted to come around some commonly known annoying gaps. […]
The CMMG Anvil | The God of War
Hmm, man I never thought an AR would really excite me. AR 15s are great rifles, but let’s face it, are AR 15s truly exciting? I love them, and I have the collection of rifles, uppers, magazines, and even 80 percent lower jigs and 80 lower builds to prove it. They excite as much as […]
