Once upon a time magwells were only found on 1911’s or other highly tuned competition pistols. Those days are long past and now accessories once thought to only exist on race guns are making their way onto peoples favorite range toy or every day carry weapons. I haven’t been oblivious to the trends of the […]

Stag 10S .308 Battle Rifle: a Little More “Boom” Than “Pew”
With all they advancements of AR-15s it’s easy to forget that the original intent of Eugene Stoner was to build a battle rifle, not an assault rifle. The original design, the AR-10 was for the .308/7.62x51mm cartridge. There are several reasons why that model was droped by the military and the M-16 was born, but […]
The Constitution, the Bill of Rights and how the Second Protects them all
One question I am often asked is “how do you argue with someone who is against guns?” It’s not always easy. Sometimes facts and statistics can go against us if we don’t have all the information. For example, after posting the article about how the shooter from the Bronx Lebanon Hospital shooting was legally able […]
Light Shed on a Hidden Gem: DoubleStar Midnight Dragon
With a flooded AR-15 market it’s easy to ignore models that have been out there for a while, and even easier to ignore them if they haven’t been recently seen on a magazine cover cradled by some full-sleeve-tattooed gym rat with a perfectly-groomed operator beard. Add to that the increasingly affordable options for home builds […]

A while back I had an AR that identified as a hunting rifle and needed an optic and needed a mount. Warne provided a mount, and Nikon provided the optic. After a bit of shooting a scope equipped AR 15 I was getting really sick of that teeny tiny mil spec charging handle. With the […]

Axelson AT Combat Trigger Pack
Triggers matter. A better trigger can make a firearm much more shootable. In the case of the AR-15 it has a pretty good mil-spec trigger. Many companies have come to the market with excellent triggers that significantly improve upon the feel of the AR-15 trigger (Geissele or the Larue MBT for example). Axelson has come […]
When 30 rounds isn’t enough grab a TorkMag
Sometimes the status quo isn’t enough. In the rifle industry, 30 round magazines are the status quo. They work and work well. They are a good compromise between size and capacity. In most situations, 30 rounds will see you through. However, in other situations, the TorkMag is what you go to. TorkMag produces two magazines […]
Watch: Make Your Own Custom AR Grip with the Unique-Grip
The pistol grip of the AR-15 is one of the easiest parts to swap out. Unfortunately it seems that no matter which grip you try it’s never the perfect grip. Even if a grip fits your hand nicely, it may not be so comfortable once you get into your shooting position. This is because the […]
