It’s easy to see why this custom AR handguard manufacturer caught my eye. They produce some beautifully designed handguards and rail systems for their customers. I’ll have more on them in a future post. Keep your eyes peeled. Featured image courtesy of Unique-ARs, via facebook.com.
Benchmade has a surprising number of new blades releasing for 2014. During SHOT Show 2014, I stopped in to their booth to check out a few.

Today I spoke with the guys in the inventory department of Hyatt Guns. According to Fox News, Hyatt is the largest independently owned specialty gun store in America.
