Professional Gear Reviews
Gadgets and gizmos for guns can always be fun, as long as they work and are useful. For people in my line of work, the CAA Shot Counter is quite handy. As a gun reviewer, I try to write down just how many rounds I’ve used with a gun, a magazine, scope, or other accessories. […]
by Hognose We remember where we met Igor Pasternak — at the EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the world’s largest airshow — but we don’t remember when. It might have been in the 1990s, or in one of those Augusts of the early oughts we didn’t spend in places named Stan. Pasternak is a fast moving guy, bursting […]

DeGroat Tactical Armaments had an M-60 barrel nearing the end of it’s serviceable life and the decided to make an educational video and finish it off with 1500+ rounds of tracer. Most of us don’t have the budget or the hardware to shoot a belt fed until the barrel glows but it is fun to […]
Firearms factory expansion is the theme for 2017, or so it would seem with yet another major manufacturer in the not so distant past announcing a sizable expansion project. In the fall of 2016 among the mergers and acquisitions by the company formerly known as Smith & Wesson a little bit of news slipped through […]
Have you heard of bump fire? If you own an AR- 15 or AK-47, odds are, you have. Fortunately for those of us interested in a non-NFA alternative to a fun switch, there are two companies that have made a stock to make this easier: Slide Fire Solutions and Fostech. Both make a stock to aid in […]
Some time back I raised the topic of crimping as part of a discussion on reloading dies, and promised to address the issue more fully at a later date—which is now. What is Crimping? During reloading, cases are resized and the case mouth is expanded (belled) to accommodate a new projectile. Crimping is the final […]
FIME Group has made the complete Molot RPK-based VEPR AK line available! Our customers can now get a fixed or folding stock in both calibers 5.45x39mm or 7.62x39mm. The Molot VEPR rifles were modeled after the RPK. The original purpose of the RPK was to be a squad automatic weapon. In order to achieve their […]
by Mike Jones There’s not doubt that a Glock trigger leaves something to be desired when compared to newer striker fired handguns that have been released as of late. Gen 3 Glock triggers break in nicely with 10k plus rounds through them. However many have found that current Gen 4 Glocks have triggers that don’t […]
by Mike Jones I pulled the trigger and nothing happened, no click, mushy trigger. The range was quiet in those milliseconds as I tried to ascertain what was happening. My weapon just malfunctioned? Smoke rose steadily from the end of my suppressor. I could see the heat waves rising off the spray paint camouflaged shroud […]
