Most often, the first company to bring a new class of product to market receives the lions share of attention for the first couple of years. However, it seems to me it’s the company who perfects the system over time who goes down as the ultimate winner. Such may be the case with Dead Foot Arms. […]
While there are many products offering “fixes” for common problems on the market in this- the platinum age of Modern Sporting Rifles- many times a do-it-yourself approach is preferred.
