Looks like the barrel is shot on my favorite AR.

September 27, 2018 by Howard

My favorite gun started key-holing last weekend. It is the most distraught I’ve felt in a long time. Like losing an old friend. Extra kick in the nuts was that I just rebuilt the gun as I was upgrading it. After I had issues with my first SBR I decided I’d have another built no … Read moreLooks like the barrel is shot on my favorite AR.

Interesting Picture

October 3, 2018September 24, 2018 by Howard

I stumbled across this photo online. I have no information about it other than the photo. I saw it was referenced on a couple of forums I don’t have access too. For all I know it could be airsoft, but lets imagine for a moment that we know it isn’t. I used to hear that … Read moreInteresting Picture

Misc rambling on the A4.

August 25, 2018 by Howard

I was looking at my notes and realized I hadn’t shot my AR15A4 in over a year, so I took it out last weekend. The reason I keep an A4 configured rifle around is because I carried one in combat. I actually carried the M16A2 more while I was in the service, but I had … Read moreMisc rambling on the A4.

Update on my firearm project.

August 20, 2018August 21, 2018 by Howard

Back around Hurricane Irma I got thinking about what I would get if I were starting my firearm collection from scratch. I still have an unfinished article based off my musing I might post someday. I’ve wanted a light weight .308 semi auto with a long handguard for a while now. I really like the … Read moreUpdate on my firearm project.

Okay Industries “Surefeed” Magazines

March 20, 2018 by Shawn

Okay Industries has been around for along time. Most people familiar with them know them from the surplus magazines sold at gun shows or stores. They are a major supplier of M16/M4 magazines for the military. In my opinion, they make the best milspec USGI aluminum standard mag. I have used them over many … Read moreOkay Industries “Surefeed” Magazines

Voiding warranties and breaking Glock parts

December 17, 2017 by Howard

Previously I wrote about my new Surefire light. I didn’t like the sharp crenelation on the bezel so I threw it in a lathe and turned them off. I really like how it turned out. Pretty sure I voided my warranty doing that, but very worth it. Recently I had someone ask me if … Read moreVoiding warranties and breaking Glock parts

First Impressions – Surefire E2D Defender Ultra LED

November 24, 2017 by Howard

There is a running joke between myself and a couple of friends of mine about how when you get a new flashlight, in the first few minutes of using it you end up shining it into your eyes to see how bright it is and end up regretting it. I had this mind when I … Read moreFirst Impressions – Surefire E2D Defender Ultra LED

First impressions of the Ruger Precision Rifle

March 22, 2017March 21, 2017 by Howard

Shortly after the Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) first came out, a close friend of mine asked me what I thought about it. I’m pretty sure my response was something like, “Ruger is not generally associated with precision” Later, much to my surprise, when I was talking to my VA doctor he pulled out targets he … Read moreFirst impressions of the Ruger Precision Rifle

Upgrading My Outdated Weapon Lights, the Surefire X300

January 31, 2016 by Duncan

This past week, I sold a few of my older weapon mounted lights (WML) and got some very awesome deals on replacement lights. I sold several, over 12 years old, Insight M3 tactical lights and a first Gen Streamlight TRL-1. I carried some of these on duty years ago when they were the best/newest WML … Read moreUpgrading My Outdated Weapon Lights, the Surefire X300

Sig Sauer SP2022-FDE 9mm

February 2, 2018December 23, 2015 by Duncan

We have all known about the SIG Pro (SP) SP2022’s for several years but for some unexplained reason it is always forgotten. I have always looked at getting one, because of their reputation, quality and very low price point. In the early 2000’s I owned the older SP2340 in .357sig, so I had some experience with the SIG Pro polymer framed guns. Recently the SP2022 has become even more competitively priced with added features. I could no longer pass the SP2022 up and when I ran across a deal on a SP2022 in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) I jumped on it, to get back into SIG SAUER’s. I have always liked the look , feel, and performance of the Classic Line of SIG SAUER handguns.
