First and foremost I’m not here to belittle anyone or their views, I won’t be calling anyone “snowflake” or “libtard”; I find such things extremely distasteful and they seriously detract from having a meaningful discussion between opposing viewpoints. Rather than just throwing memes at each other, I believe in having a rational discourse. Please lend me a […]

Crosshair Hydraulic Buffer: Shoot Straight and Protect Your Carbine
Crosshair recoil buffers are a hydraulic rate/recoil-reducing buffer which provides a drop-in replacement for existing mechanical buffers. The machined aluminum hydraulic buffer drops into any standard carbine buffer tube to absorb recoil, slow cyclic rate of fire, and suppress bolt bounce. Linear deceleration technology helps increase service life of parts by reducing the force of […]
Brownell’s Glock 19 Slide Built and Tested
Brownell’s has long been a friend of the gun builder. From their beginning as a parts and tool supply to their growth into their current status as the Candyland for gun lovers. Not long ago they began making their own AR-15 magazines (I’ve seen it personally, these are not simple rebrands), and now they offer […]
Choosing the Right Sling: Support When You Need It
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. With all the things that it helps a shooter to accomplish, you can’t go without a sling. When in serious use in a fight, you […]
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”. 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. 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
Back in the 1950’s, Eugene Stoner designed the first modern modular rifle, the AR-10. 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. […]
