Today we accessorize long guns with lights, lasers, variable magnification optics and slings. While some of these things may be unnecessary, I feel like the sling is the most important.

The glaring problem with your ‘dream’ survival rides…
Although I spent the better portion of my twenties running around the world with a fresh fade and my boots bloused, the line of work I was in both before and after serving in the Marine Corps was in the racing industry. Most folks might be surprised to know that there are some real parallels between […]
HIPERTOUCH Elite Trigger – Smooth is Fast and Very Accurate
The HIPERTOUCH Elite is the practical version of the Hiperfire series of drop-in triggers for AR-15 and AR-10-style modern sporting rifles (MSR). The Elite trigger does two contradictory things – it lightens the trigger pull weight while increasing the force of the hammer fall. This sorcery is accomplished by two toggle springs which can be […]
Ranger Proof Enhanced ELC Carbine: Tough by Design
AR-15s have been described as the “barbie dolls for men”. Â I prefer to look at them as Legos with which we can build any rifle, pistol, or Short-Barreled Rifle style we want from a $400 plinker, to $3,000 safe queens. Â The available mix of after-market and factory parts is bewildering and offers more choice than […]
Best Modern Sporting Rifle: AR vs AK
One of the fiercest, and longest running, debates within the firearms community is this: which is the better “battle rifle:” the AR or the AK. The topic has been done to death, so I thought I’d feature the two rifles in a different setting: working together. The video embedded above features an AR-15 and an AK-74. […]
How to Build a .308 AR Rifle That Works: Compatibility and Engineering

The gas impingement operating system and buffer system offers a potential optimization which has yet to be completely fulfilled. If you want to build a .308 AR, let’s examine the easiest way to make your gun run, choosing the right buffer […]
The Best Buffer for Pistol Caliber Carbines: Blitzkrieg Hydraulic Buffer
Blitzkrieg Components has partnered with KynShot to develop a game-changing new 9mm AR-15 hydraulic buffer. Taming the violent direct blowback forces in the 9mm system, it turns your 9mm AR carbine into the smooth-running, soft-recoiling, fast-shooting precision tool it always wanted to be. Most impressive: It comes with a limited warranty: 10 years or one million rounds. […]
Watch: FX-9 PCC by Freedom Ordnance and Classic Firearms
Pistol-caliber-carbines are excellent firearms for a variety of reasons. Â Generally handgun ammunition is less expensive, has less recoil, and is more readily available than rifle ammunition. Â Add to that the increased practicality for home-defense use and indoor ranges being more welcoming and the PCC becomes a solid option. Â Previously PCCs were less desirable due to […]
Custom 1911 Grips from AlumaGrips
AlumaGrips has been my recent source for great great grips. Earlier we showed you a basic set of 1911 grips in this article. When AlumaGrips added options for America’s rifle, the AR-15 I grabbed a set for my Freedom Ordnance FX-9 Pistol as seen here. What I hadn’t yet experienced was their custom-order process. A […]
Pistol vs. Active Shooter With A Rifle? Myths & Facts
History repeats itself…sadly and ignorantly. In the last few days, an ill-informed propagandist from MSNBC said that someone with a pistol doesn’t have a chance against a bad guy with a rifle because rifle bullets travel 3x faster. And then a US Senator said that getting shot by a pistol was no more effective than […]
