    Heed well the words of Founding Father Roger Sherman

    "Sad will be the day when the American people forget their traditions and their history, and no longer remember that the country they love, the institutions they cherish, and the freedom they hope to preserve, were born from the throes of armed resistance to tyranny, and nursed in the rugged...

    Arktis M674 Covert Carry Rig

    Arktis M674 Covert Carry Rig - Soldier Systems Daily Now this is interesting. Bet those thin straps get uncomfortable though. Still possibly a good grab and go rig, with the potential to throw a cover garment over top for discrete bug out.

    PPQ and Glock dry fire musings

    So I'm bored, half watching some youtube video while dry firing my Glock. Then I went and got my PPQ out for shits and giggles. Know what? The Gen 5 Glock trigger is not bad at all. In fact I think is pretty good. The main thing is the PPQ trigger is much lighter. The PPQ hits the end of its...

    New "AR-180" UPPER from Brownells

    Man, that thing is so cool! If the consensus is that these things are GTG I'm buying one. But then it is essentially an MCX, isn't it. But at $700 for the upper still quite appealing. It would have been even cooler if a spring actuated dust cover ala FN FNC/Galil were incorporated.

    What they aren't telling you about the yellow vests

    We need this movement over here. The authoritarian left is evil and they need to burn. Just like how Paris is burning. God speed to every last on of those Yellow Vesters, even the ones whom I may not entirely agree with.

    Even more KARMA!!

    This time I have some very nice BUIS up for grabs: As you can see they can rotate off axis for use as offset sights. I have replaced them with much lighter and lower profile BUIS but these are still really nice. The detents have no play whatsoever in them. There are two apertures on a...

    Tell me about the Benchmade Bugout. Does anyone have one?

    I fondled one at Gander today and I was amazed at how light it was. I am not usually a huge fan of plastic handles but I did like the blade shape. Anybody have one? Like it? Break it? Durable?

    Another new blade, on the opposite spectrum from the last one

    This is the best model Kershaw offers, US made with Sandvik's wonderful 14c28n. Unique to Kershaw this is a Swedish stainless "razor" steel. It has excellent corrosion resistance and takes a lightsaber edge, edge retention is decent too. In all it is the best steel to be had at the sub $50...

    .224 Valkyrie vs 6.5 Grendel vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    Say you were building a long range, high precision "PSG-1 eat your heart out" AR pattern rifle, what caliber would you choose? Weight and cost is no object, but use of standardized parts are I.E. AR15 or AR10 actions only, no .338 Lapua action shenanigans nor any wildcats. Purpose would be...

    Interesting carbon fiber handguard and stock

    http://www.smokecomposites.com The interesting thing is that they offer an integral M1913 top rail, something I have not seen on any other type of CF handguard. Kinda makes me want to to an ultra light build, but such would be very expensive. That V Seven 2055 lithium-aluminum alloy lightweight...

    The M1916 Federov. The world's first assault rilfe

    It was designed as a light machine gun but to my mind in neatly fits the textbook description of an assault rifle. In this application I can consider the 6.5 Arisaka as an intermediate cartridge. Oh, @Dayten, IT HAS A VERTICAL GRIP!!!! Oooooooh, way back in 1916 too.

    92 Elite LTT Apparently this has been around for a while but I was unaware of there existance. This one looks very Resident Evilish eh @Darth? Looks a lot like Wesker's gun. I think I like the looks of the WC custom 92 better but........... Wesker's gun!

    Scalarworks QD scope mount

    Scalarworks Leap Mount for Scopes Yes I know it's too expensive, foolishly expensive, get a Larue, ADM yadda yadda. Based on the features and specs alone what do we think? @meketrefe, looks solid, secure? My line of thinking on this, A Trijicon Accupoint 1-6 on a Bobro QD mount would weigh...

    Practical accuracy of the M4A1 w/ 55gr ball ammunition

    Exactly what I would have expected. Despite the Army's claims of a 500 meter point target effective range for an M16A2 we all knew that 300 meters was more like the effective limit. 400 does seem doable however and remains in line with the Army's traditional 400 yard effective range standard. I...

    AR trigger recommendations

    So I have finally started to set aside funds for getting my replacement Daniel Defense rifle, haven't even shot it yet! I will be putting a nice 1-6 scope on it and I want a really nice trigger on it as well. However I run milsurp or milspec (its cheaper) ammo almost exclusively so I want full...

    Why I keep an AR15 under my bed.

    Or sometimes a shotgun........ or both: Handguns just aren't that effective. I'm wondering if they were using FMJs that were just icepicking through? Clearly the robber's blood pressure just was not dropping fast enough. This video is also an argument for having a large a magazine as...

    Odd open carry sighting at my local Walmart

    PA is an open carry state but it's still unusual to see somone actually open carrying, however the weirdest thing was the way the guy was carrying: 8 o'clock cross draw. How the hell does he expect to reach around behind his offside hip from a cross draw position. Hell even just regualr OWB...

    An in depth look at the B&T USW and it's new variants.

    Putting the "pistol" in pistol caliber carbine. When I first heard of this thing some time ago I didn't get it, but I'm coming around. I can see how it would be a useful tool a patrol officer. Developing chassis for the SIG and Glock slides was a wise move too and I think a 10mm would rock on...

    Ammuntion obscura: tell me about the .327 Magnum.

    Yesterday at the range I was talking to a gentleman who had brought a brace of revolvers out. Among them was a Ruger Sp101 4" in .357 mag. I had never handled one much less shot one. I thought it was a spiffy little piece but found it a little snappy, especially compared to the S&W 686 he...

    Anybody wanna go halfsies with me on a 40mm Bofors?

    Despite its age and obsolescence it would still fuck up anything short of a main battle tank. Possible hedge against increasingly militarized police with their MRAPS? Is it true you have to pay the $200 NFA tax on each round of ammunition?

    Yet more Spyderco deliciousness

    Spyderco Sliverax. It's a ball bearing pivoted flipper with a compression lock. However the detent is a little too weak for it to fire the blade out like, say, a ZT flipper. However the action is super silly smooth, smoothest I've ever felt. It works better using the spydie hole for...

    Springfield Armory M1A........ hit piece

    I posted mostly because I find it interesting this is the sort of press the company gets now days. That beside $3,700 for that level of performance is ridiculous. If one wanted an M1A regardless of SA's douche baggery in Illinois I think one would be better served with the GI model...
