Shawn sent this to me and asked me to post it up. This video shows one officer negligently discharged their firearm into the back of another officer. It sucks to get shot, I know. It sucks worse when it was preventable. I’m not going to bother to go through this frame by frame and try … Read moreBlue on Blue ND

Saw a case recently where someone saw an ATN night vision scope on a website for sale for $40 instead of the usual $700-800. They asked online if it was a scam, many people told them it was. They ordered it anyways. After a while the site went down. They did receive a toy lightsaber … Read moreWatch out for scams

This was sent along to me to share: Just FYI. The primo sniper rifle of the 1850s-1860s. How accuracy was measured and compared.

Red Rifleman Vol 4: The Palmetto State Armory AK47 “MOEkov” Review

January 1, 2019January 1, 2019 by lothaen

American made AK’s have had some growing pains. Case in point is the original Century C39. Much like when the auto industry releases a new model of car, it’s best to avoid the first few generations of that vehicle. It never pays to be a beta tester for vehicles or firearms. That said, when Palmetto … Read moreRed Rifleman Vol 4: The Palmetto State Armory AK47 “MOEkov” Review
