How to field strip and clean an AK series rifle

A well made AK variant can be incredibly reliable and accurate believe it or not. It still requires routine maintenance to stay at this level of overall quality though. Sure, you can neglect the rifle or run it dry (unlubricated) but it’s not the most ideal state of operation; for any weapon system for that […]

How To Choose A Rifle Scope: The only guide you’ll need to read

Finding the right scope is like running through a maze, you don’t know WHERE you’re going. Couple that with the countless landmines of confusing technical jargon, specs, acronyms — and you might be in the maze for LIFE. Not good. That’s why I wrote this article — to help serve as a guide through the […]

MTM Tactical Mag Can: A protected method of storage for loaded magazines

How do you store your magazines? I don’t mean loaded or unloaded, but where do you physically put them? It’s easy when you only have a few, you can store them anywhere. Once you get past a dozen they tend to be a pain to stack, easy to misplace, and generally stay in the way. […]

Top five preferred weapon modifications

Top five preferred weapon modifications

Everyone, civilian or military, who enjoys weapons loves to trick out their gun. We all have personal preferences to how we set up our firearms to cater to our own style of shooting. Maybe it’s the technique that dictates the specific placement of certain mods, it could be purpose-driven reasons for particular accessories, or maybe […]

full auto versus semi auto

Full-Auto vesus Semi-Auto

I grew up in a family full of Veterans and one of my favorite memories was heading to coffee with my Grandpa Jim and all the other WW2 Vets in town.  Hearing the way they bullshitted with each other left a strong impression.  Deja Vu set in once I joined the Army, as hearing a group […]

Now, however, it would seem Russia’s military is set to begin fielding two new service rifle platforms — and in characteristic Russian style, they appear to combine elements of their Soviet history

Russia’s new service rifles: Soviet firepower with an American flare

Few rifles have achieved the legendary status of the Soviet rifle of choice: the Kalashnikov AK-47. Its price, reliability and .30 caliber stopping power have made it a favorite among gunslingers everywhere from Third World dictatorships to high-end gun collections. Its legacy even continues to thrive in the Russian military today, in the form of the […]

Why we need access to ‘assault weapons’ and modern firearms

Why we need access to ‘assault weapons’ and modern firearms

First and foremost I’m not here to belittle anyone or their views, I won’t be calling anyone “snowflake” or “libtard”; I find such things extremely distasteful and they seriously detract from having a meaningful discussion between opposing viewpoints. Rather than just throwing memes at each other, I believe in having a rational discourse. Please lend me a […]

AR vs AK: Which is Better? - TheArmsGuide.com

Best Modern Sporting Rifle: AR vs AK

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. […]

CMMG Mutant | AK and AR combined

The fanboy debate on AR15 vs. AK47 has died down to an extent due to the former shifting the narrative away from a caliber specific matchup, to a comparison based purely on the merits of the operating system.  A few companies have tried to blur the line by combining traits of the two platforms, creating […]
