The Axelson Advanced Rifle Case (ARC) is an external lockable rifle case, with an internal soft case that converts into a backpack and shooting mat. The ARC is air tight with a pressure relief valve. It meets TSA regulations for air travel and can also float in water while keeping your equipment dry. It is […]
As a longtime hunter and one who has subjected his gear to extreme weather and abuse, I can confidently say that bad optics—those that are scratch prone, hazy, difficult to mount, or easy to knock loose—can be a much larger detriment than an advantage in the field. That said, the EOTech 552 has earned a […]
Or, why make the same knife out of two steels? White River Knives and its Michigan manufacturing facility enjoys a well-deserved reputation for turning out near-custom knives at production prices. This family of knife makers uses only 100 percent American-made materials and labor and that includes the steels they use. White River’s FireCraft line […]
Are 20 round AR-15 magazines better than 30 rounders ? It’s a topic that always brings up spirited debate so we figured we would wade into the debate. It use to be many many moons ago back in the days of leaded gasoline and cars that had carburetors the standard issue magazine for the M16 […]
I came across a unique product and I wanted to share. BenShot is a family owned company bringing manufacturing back to the USA one shot glass at a time. They make glasses, with bullets in them. (Don’t worry, they don’t use lead bullets). BenShot was started by a father and son in rural Wisconsin. Their […]
I’m a big fan of keeping a low profile. The way I carry a gun, the knife I carry, and even the clothes I wear are chosen to help me not to be noticed. It’s hard when you’re six foot five, but I try to make it work. I love when gun companies produce gear […]

How do we carry gear? More Specifically how do we carry gear on our body for immediate use. Typically it’s by belt, load bearing vest, chest rig, plate carrier, or some combination. Most methods of carrying serious gear, like rifle mags, and IFAKS, are done in a very high profile manner. It’s pretty difficult to […]
Looking for a new light for your AR-15? Say hello to the Inforce WML. I recently built another AR-15 (they’re like potato chips—no one can stop at just one). In the interest of mixing things up a bit, I decided to keep this AR a lightweight build. With the main components together (lower, upper, barrel, etc.), I […]
Let’s be honest: not everyone can (or wants to) justify spending $85-$90 on an aluminum stick with a handle. Even after I took the price into consideration, I ordered my Rainier Arms Raptor charging handle by AXTS last year as an upgrade for my AR-15. After I ordered it but before I received it, I […]
