Long famous for their triggers, Elftmann Tactical has just shown that they are more than a one trick pony. The ELF Ultralight Aluminum Stock is the lightest all metal adjustable stock in production, weighing just 5.2oz.
Innovative features include ease of adjustment over the entire length of the buffer tube and silent operation – no clicking into detent holes, a simple turn of the knob allows full adjustment and when tightened, it is rock solid with absolutely no rattle.
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. Â The original design, the AR-10 was for the .308/7.62x51mm cartridge. Â There are several reasons why that model was droped by the military and the M-16 was born, but […]
As Many have already proclaimed, 2017 is shaping up to be the year of the pistol-caliber-carbine. Â PCCs as they’re known by those in a hurry 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 […]
Gun tests are everywhere.  It seems that for every make and model there is a report of amazing results, especially if it’s in a pay-for-play magazine or on a pay-for-play YouTube channel.  Countering those claims are often dozens of e-experts who claim the most terrible experiences ever not recorded.  The truth is they could very likely all […]
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 […]
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 […]
The American Tactical AR-15 Shotgun, chambered in .410 is exciting. Semi automatic shotguns that look like military sporting rifles are nothing new, the Saiga 12 gauge has been out for years, but to our knowledge this is one of the first in .410 and in the AR-15 pattern. Once we started talking to the folks […]
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. […]
Magpul has made a name for themselves in rifle accessories. The quality of their ACS-L (Adaptable Carbine Stock – Light) buttstock is up to par with what I’ve come to expect from Magpul. This polymer AR stock is a slimmed version of Magpul’s ACS (Adaptabale Carbine/Storage) stock that retains the latched storage compartment, but removes […]
