Yep, I love my AR-15 rifles. It’s easy for me to find reasons to build more. One of my recent projects is a .300 AAC Blackout rifle that I plan to use for hunting. With this intent in mind, I looked into Primary Weapons Systems for a handguard solution for the newest to my AR collection. […]

Pump Action AR Kit from Bentwood: Simple and Effective
Every once in a great while, somebody comes up with a simple idea and then does the hard work to build an elegantly simple design. The Bentwood Gunsmithing Universal Manual Operating System is a pump action AR upper which uses a standard AR upper and bolt carrier. This product is made in California, by Americans. […]
Leitner-Wise Mfg. Black Nitride M-16 Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group – Full Review
Phosphate, chrome, nickel boron, nickel teflon. Sound familiar? You may be a “Gun Geek” (If so, you’re in excellent company.), particularly one looking at an AR-15 bolt carrier group, or BCG.

Take That, SAFE Act! NY Compliant AR by Black Rain Ordnance
New York’s SAFE Act clamped considerable restrictions on firearms and shooting accessories when it passed on January 15, 2013.

Photo Friday: Daniel Defense
The Daniel Defense carbines got quite a workout at Industry Day at the Range during SHOT Show 2014. I have my own Daniel Defense (my AR-15, “Bruce,” has a DDM4V7 upper), so you can probably guess that I’m fairly fond of DD rifles. What are your thoughts on them?

In addition to the new expansions to their product line for 2014, Slide Fire brought a prototype into which they’ve been putting some time. While functional, the design is so […]
ADCOR A-556 Elite – SHOT 2014
You’ve seen plenty of AR-15 style rifles, but have you seen this one? I hadn’t. I encountered the A-556 Elite during SHOT Show Industry Day at the range and got the chance to put a few rounds through one. Shooting a new rifle has its own charm, but part of the fun in the experience […]

Training for Muscle Memory at its Finest!
This has to be one of the best examples of muscle memory that I have ever seen and plan to post a video of myself doing the drill in the featured video as well. I’m sure we’ve all seen the videos of instructors shooting an AR-15 extremely fast at three stationary targets in the 1,2,3,4,5 […]
