Watch | Milling an AR lower with 80% Arms jigs

August 24, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

In the sister article to this one, I showed a video of Defense Distributed’s Ghost Gunner CNC mill that details finishing an 80% AR lower receiver.  As a counterpoint to the automated version, I’d like to show finishing off an 80% receiver using jigs from 80% Arms. While a DIY approach to completing the machine […]

Watch | Ghost Gunner home CNC machine

August 23, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

While end mill technology (and it’s computer-controlled variant) has been around for nearly 250 years, Defense Distributed‘s Ghost Gunner has made waves in the last few years.  The titular self-contained CNC mill was at the heart of a legal battle between Defense Distributed and the State Department, with the government eventually settling.  A few anti-gun politicians […]

Geissele Single Stage Precision | Breaking the glass rod

August 17, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

In the never-ending pursuit of a more accurate firearm, many enthusiasts spend a great deal of time, effort and money looking to upgrade the status quo.  While a better barrel, clearer optic or different ammo are commonly shopped improvements, few parts have as much of an instant impact as a better trigger.  Such an example may […]

Survivor Filter | Keeping your water clean and tasteful

August 16, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

Aside from protecting your fleshy meat-sack of a body from blistering heat or freezing cold, the most important survival consideration is the old standby: water.  Long thought of as one of the easiest elements to find, it is actually one of the toughest to find safely when in an emergent situation.  Few things will hamper your […]

Liberty Civil Defense 9mm | Further Review

August 12, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer 1 Comment

Recently I started a two-part review of Liberty ammunition’s Civil Defense round.  Part 1 can be read here.  A +P defensive load zipping out around 2150 FPS, this diminutive 50gr bullet looks impressive.   I had some doubts during my first range day as my chronograph was recording high variability in the velocity.  This manifested […]

Triggrcon 2018 | A breath of fresh air

August 10, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

Having just returned from my first Triggrcon, I thought I’d share a few notes and products from the event.  For those who don’t know, Triggrcon is a firearms industry convention started by John Hwang (Rainier Arms owner) that is hosted annually in the Pacific Northwest. First I’d like to mention how different Triggrcon is from […]

Aimpoint CompM5 | Efficiency meets durability

August 1, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

While Aimpoint products have been used by the US military (among others) for decades now, the Swedish optics company is still working to produce the gold standard in red-dot technology.  When the CompM5 was released in Fall of 2017, I set to work getting my hands on a T&E sample.  Having had the CompM5 for […]

UCO | Behemoth Sweetfire match kit

July 31, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

UCO is a company that has been bringing innovation to the outdoor products market for nearly half a century.  While the titular acronym stands for Utility, Comfort and Originality, the company’s products also feature another aspect, simplicity.  So it was with the Behemoth Sweetfire match kit. Why Behemoth? Well, these are essentially massive matches with stormproof strike tips.  […]

Kershaw DuoJet | Form and function

July 12, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

Kershaw is at it again.  The Tualatin, Oregon based manufacturer has released another batch of new knife models: I was lucky enough to get my hands on one to T&E, the DuoJet. The Kershaw DuoJet has a 3.25″ long 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, that’s titanium carbo-nitride coated.  The 4.5″ handle has matching gray titanium carbo-nitrided steel contrasting […]

Ultradyne C4 Precision folding iron sights | A precise point of view

July 11, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

While much of the casual shooting market has moved away from iron sights for economical reasons, competitive and occupational shooters know the value of a good set of back up iron sights (BUIS).  Ultradyne has upped the ante, producing BUIS that are designed to be both rugged and precise.  Today we’re talking about the Ultradyne C4 […]
