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 […]
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 […]
When it comes to maintaining your gear in the field, everyone, for the most part, focuses on weapons maintenance. Knives will typically take a back burner to maintenance. Having the ability to keep your blades sharp is a must,  especially when out in the field and away from home. I’ve used many different methods, from […]
The Glock Operator’s Tool (G.O.T.), by Code9 Evolutions, is one of the best tools you can buy for your Glock. The G.O.T. is simply a 5 function multi-tool that is designed to assist in the assembly, disassembly, and cleaning of your Glock pistol and magazines, regardless of the model.

With that being said, you need to make sure that your equipment is functioning at peak levels when your life is on the line. […]
My lubricants need to do several things in the following order of importance; not give me cancer, keep my weapon running, and protect my weapon. My test platform is always my MK18, since it is brutal on any lubricant. The heat tends to vaporize most lubes and if they survive the heat they rarely survive […]
With every step I could feel brass roll underneath my feet. My MK18 was so hot that it was almost untouchable and caked with grime and carbon fouling from a regimen of firing almost 800 rounds of 5.56×45 during a training event. As the day rolled into night we switched to our Surefire weapon lights […]
Tec-Shield offers another option in the industry for keeping your weapons running smoothly. There are several brands of CLP oil’s on the market, but today we are going to take a quick look at what Tec-Shield has to offer. I recently did a short Facebook Live video on the Freedom Juice product that you can […]
Freedom Juice was designed to clean, lubricate and protect Firearms from minor and major malfunctions while exposed to adverse conditions such as those experienced in an extreme environment, but the uses for Freedom Juice go well beyond firearms. Freedom Juice can be applied to so many other things you use in your outdoor lifestyle but […]
