We’ve all been listening to the AR-15 vs AK-47 debate for years. Rather than being content with producing quality AR’s, CMMG has thrown their hat into the hybrid ring and has produced the MK47 Mutant: a heavily modified rifle based on the AR-15, chambered in 7.62×39 and adapted to use AK-47 mags. Based on CMMG’s […]
I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying, “Train how you fight!” Here is a short clip of me and a Ranger brother on the range challenging and pushing each other to sharpen our skills. Having a partner with you on the range who will push you beyond what you are comfortable with is always a plus, […]
In the following video I take a moment to describe some of the various sling designs. I take into account my own personal experiences as well as those I’ve served with and currently serve with. Although there is not a one size fits all when it comes to sling selection, there may be a couple […]
Sergeant Major (RET) John “Shrek” McPhee (better known as the “Sheriff of Baghdad, hence SOB) spent more than 20 years serving our country in the US Army’s Special Operations community.

While some guns deserve iron sights: the majority of rifles, shotguns (and even a number of handguns) benefit from the use of optics. There is a red dot or scope for every application. With every base covered, how do manufacturers keep pushing the market forward? Well, usually by making their optics lighter, tougher, more power-efficient […]
If two is one and one is none, then the little things are big and the big things are essential. I’ve said it in more than a few of my articles: America’s next battle rifle will be less of a paradigm shift and more of a collection of all the incremental improvements made over decades […]
I get this question quite a bit when people view my videos. Are suppressors necessary? Should they buy one? These are questions that cannot be answered by me alone but I thought we could take some time to talk about why you might buy one of these devices and how it might affect the way […]
Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear Black Rain Ordnance – BROmance with a rifle? Mike the Mook If you’ve been following us on social media (and you should be), you already know we received a couple rifles from Black Rain Ordnance. Shoot ’em and see what you think, they said, so we did. The Tactical Hippie already told you what he […]
Bootleg Inc. was formed in 2005, the sister company to Primary Weapons Systems (PWS). Since PWS is well-known for their high-quality piston AR parts, Bootleg was tasked with the job of producing the same high quality of parts but in the direct impingement market.
