M16 and AR-15

How the M-16 and AR-15 work | Detailed animation

When Eugene Stoner designed the AR-10 platform in the late 1950s, it is unlikely he could have imagined the success this rifle (and it’s progeny) would achieve.  While the total number of AR platform rifles in civilian hands isn’t known, estimates range from 2-30 million.  Combine that with the multitude of M-4’s and other descendants […]

Tips for cleaning and maintaining your AR-15

Tips for cleaning and maintaining your AR-15

Kyle Defoor’s teaching methodology is second to none. He takes what he learned as an assaulter in the SEAL Teams and breaks it down for us to learn. There are a lot of instructors out there and videos on YouTube explaining how to clean and maintain your carbine rifle, but how reputable are they? Kyle is one of […]

Load your AR Mag in 10 Seconds? Caldwell Mag Charger

With ammo prices falling and panic-buying over it appears we can finally return to the joys of shooting.  Schools, training, and good-ol’-fashioned plinking are once again in our futures.  higher-volume shooting means higher-volume loading.  In the Army, we used stripper clips and the ever-sacred adapter that sometimes perfectly, and other times not, loaded ten rounds […]

Tubb Precision flatwire springs overview

Growing up immersed in the “gun culture”, was a rewarding and character-building part of my childhood.  Being raised in rural Alaska meant the only window outside of subsistence hunting culture was through the monthly gun mags in the local grocery store.  When competitive shooting was brought up, one name was repeated over and over.  David Tubb.  […]

Suppress Your Blast with Surefire

Suppress Your Blast with Surefire

Suppress Your Blast and Add an Inch or Two with Surefire Suppressing your blast on a short barrelled pistol or rifle can be a challenge.  You can meet that challenge with Surefire’s Warden Blast Regulator.

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. […]

How to build an AR-15 | Advanced upgrade options: Part 1

It’s always interesting to see which articles really resonate with readers on our site.  Some reviews and “How-to’s” fade quickly while others stay popular for years.  One such article is “How to build an AR-15: A Beginner’s Guide” by Nate Schultz.  It was published in July of 2017 and still regularly registers enough clicks to […]

CMMG Banshee

CMMG Banshee | .300 BLK Lead-slinger

As CMMG passes 16 years in the firearms industry, it’s clear that their company has seen its share of ups and downs in the market.  Between the panic buying days of 2008 to the easy-going “salad days” of 2018, much has changed.  So too the company has changed over the years, but only for the […]

In the third part of this ongoing series detailing as many commercially available ultra-short (sub-7″).300 Blackout barrels as possible, I’m only adding one more barrel to the lineup, a 5″ slinger from Veritas Tactical, assembled into an impressive upper in conjunction with SLR Rifleworks, utilizing their 4.25″ Helix forend.  I was also able to acquire […]
