Seems like everybody these days wants to shoot faster. There is a whole YouTube channel devoted to watching Jerry Miculek shoot fast. Full auto is fun, but expensive and fraught with legal peril unless your employer can provide you with a machinegun. Rapid semi can give control and economy that you just can’t get at […]

PWS Keymod Handguard Review
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. These may be the most common coatings for BCGs, but several months ago, I discovered something new.

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. In response, some New York based companies have left the state, such as Kahr Arms and American Tactical Imports, for more firearms-friendly locations. Other gun manufacturers have begun releasing “NY compliant” AR-15 style rifles, including Stag Arms, […]
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?
Slide Fire – “Bump Sled” Prototype
With the wave of popularity bumpfire devices earned over the past couple of years, many of you are likely familiar with Slide Fire bump stocks. 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 […]
Kavod Custom: KVD-15 Alef – First Impressions
With a break in the snowy weather, I thought it was the perfect time for a range day, and the perfect opportunity to begin test and eval on a new rifle: the KVD-15 Alef. Kavod Customs sells three different models: the Alef, Bet, and Gimel. Here are some of the specs on the KVD-15 Alef: Kavod […]
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 […]
