There are many people who dislike bullpup rifles. I not only like them, I find that there are quite a few things they do much better than conventional designs. After running M16 and M4 rifles in combat in the military, I prefer the bullpup. Fighting in tight spaces with one of these rifles was a nightmare, not […]
In order to maximize the performance of our 5.56 AR-style rifles, we typically need to be picky about the parts we use and we need to be sure they do exactly as advertised. Muzzle breaks are said to lower felt recoil and muzzle rise. In my test of the CruxOrd muzzle break, I am using […]
Reloading .22LR has almost always been shooter fiction. History has proven though that it is possible. Throughout history, there have been kits that make reloading .22LR doable. Some kits worked very well, and others were very basic. Today, there is a company that makes a .22LR reloading kit right here in American. Personally, when I […]
Value is the main subject I want to address today for those looking to buy a gun, but aren’t aware that a good deal already exists. On the used market, you can find good pistols that have seen little to no use by their previous owners. Some of these guns such as HK, SIG, and […]
There are several different AR calibers on the market today. Each AR caliber has a specific purpose and can be useful for a different application from personal defense, long range shooting, hunting, to recreational shooting. Some may only require a bolt swap, while others need a complete upper swap. Here is a list of some of the […]
A break-in period is a vital step and should be a key focus when getting a new gun you intend to carry or serve in a self defense role. When you get a new pistol, rifle or shotgun, you are getting a freshly finished product made of metal, wood, polymer, or some other material shaped […]
Back in the 1950’s, Eugene Stoner designed the first modern modular rifle, the AR-10. The gas impingement operating system and buffer system offers a potential optimization which has yet to be completely fulfilled. If you want to build a .308 AR, let’s examine the easiest way to make your gun run, choosing the right buffer […]
The .300 Blackout round has long been considered a mainstay in the world of tactical guns, gear and ammo. I’m not tactical. I never served in the military, I don’t own any clothing in any of the current military camouflage styles, and I have exactly one piece of gear (a backpack) with MOLLE webbing on […]
Feast your eyes on the SIG MPX. SIG sure knows how to make a good-looking firearm, but the MPX really takes the cake. The SIG MPX is a semi-auto closed bolt, gas-operated piston pistol caliber sub-machine gun. This particular version is the MPX-C, which means it is the “carbine” version as it has a fixed […]
Recognizing this potential, CMMG’s engineers quickly went to work developing a rifle that would maximize the effectiveness of the 224 Valkyrie and meet the needs of long-range shooters straight out of the box. The result is the Mk4 DTR2.
