I’d prefer to own one firearm that is excellent at a single purpose, than two which are mediocre. For easy of categorization I lump my firearms into […]
I can recall building my first couple of AR-15 rifles and it taking just short of forever to install that “stupid” roll pin (or, at least, that’s how I felt about it at first) into the gas block for the gas tube.

It’s importance for HK is that it’s the company’s entrant in the Bundeswehr competition to replace HK’s own G36. The G36 ran into troubles with shot dispersion […]

Please note that this is also sometimes called “sintered metal,” which also promises a high level of dimensional accuracy, part density, freedom from […]
