IWI Tavor After 5K rounds: Israeli Infantry Tough

IWI Tavor After 5K Rounds: Israeli Infantry Tough

After running the IWI Tavor (IDF model) for over 5000 rounds, I have found it to be a supreme example of how bullpups should be designed. It may not have the classic look and feel of the AUG, but it does have a battle-proven record with the Israeli military that everyone can respect. The rifle […]

Does the cold impact ammunition performance? Yes.  Does the […]

First Look: Spike’s Tactical Roadhouse .308 AR-10

First Look: Spike’s Tactical Roadhouse .308 AR-10

Spike’s Tactical has a well-established name for making some of the coolest rifles out there.  From fun lowers to high-performance dream rifles they’re all available at Spike’s.  In our recent series of AR-10 rifles we came upon the Roadhouse in .308. Built like Schwarzennager should wield it, the Roadhouse is beefy.  Of course everything is […]
