A few months ago I was sent a couple of hand made custom knives from a Australian fellow who lives in Japan. He has been hand making knives and selling them online. https://www.blackwolfknives.net/ These knives are the nicest I have ever owned. The maker details the making of these knives on the facebook … Read moreBlack Wolf Knives
Update- Finally heard back from Leupold, they acknowledge this is a mistake and will be correcting it. I have an old TS-30 A2 Leopold scope. The model is nothing special, but it rare to find one with the military “TS-30 A2” markings. I’ve been meaning to post up a review of this scope, but when … Read moreExtreme disappointment in Leupold.
Ok, I’m phoning it in this week. I found these old HK BUIS I thought I sold long ago, and I found that the old article on them has all the images missing. On the HK416/MR556 and their .308 rifles as well the optics rail is higher than the rail on a standard flat top … Read moreOptic of the week: HK Diopter BUIS
I have a Geissele AR15 reaction rod and while I think it was pricey, I have gotten my moneys worth out of it. Since I bought it the price has gone up to $100. If I had to replace it I would probably just buy the Magpul BEV Block at half the cost. Recently I … Read moreBrownells 308 Barrel Extension Torque Tools. . . sucks
I was supplied a set of Chaos Ready Flip Up sights to try and review. When I saw that they were $27.99 I was pretty doubtful on the quality of them. When the average back up iron sight set costs about $200, I was really curious what $28 would get. I was surprised. These sights are sold … Read moreReview: Chaos Ready Flip Up Iron Sights
For a long time the Trijicon ACOG was my favorite scope. Transitioning from iron sights to 4x magnification was a massive force multiplier. From there I tried some various optics and the Nightforce 2.5-10X24 became my new favorite scope. (The Leupold MK6 eventually replaced this as my favorite). Still I love these so much I … Read moreOptic of the week: Nightforce 2.5-10X24
I can’t believe I haven’t written about the TA31 series of ACOGs yet. These were my favorite optic for a long time. My first experiece with them was in the Marine Corps using the TA31RCO-A4 on the M16A4. The 4x magnification of the TA31 series of ACOGs will leave a shadow of the front sight … Read moreOptic of the week: Trijicon TA31RCO-A4
Lets take a quick look at the LaRue Tactical RAT stock. The stock has an ambidextrous QD swivel socket and a slot for standard slings. To adjust the stock, you pull the “trigger” in it to the rear. This makes for quick and easy adjustments. There is a little rotating dial that can be easily … Read moreA look at the LaRue RAT stock
The Hog Saddle has been out for a few years now . It was developed by a former sniper as a better mouse trap for shooting a sniper rifle when the terrain or urban environment will not allow the use of more traditional positions and methods. The Hog saddle is a professionally done version of … Read moreHOG SADDLE
First time I used a Leupold CQ/T it was mounted on a friends M1A. It seemed to me an impractical combination as it was mounted really high making it awkward on the M1A and I’d much rather have more magnification on a .30 cal. That aside, I found the CQ/T rather interesting. The Leupold Close … Read moreOptic of the Week: Leupold CQ/T
