(Naughty language warning) Here’s a video I found that shows the importance of being aware of the height of your optic above the bore line: Post by Buffalo Arms Trading LLC. Height over bore seems simple enough, but it’s something that I see a lot of shooters struggle with at action rifle type matches. A lot of people will pull short range head shots down into the Charlie zone in the chest because they don’t …

A friend of mine lives up in Michigan where pop cans and beer cans have a $0.10 deposit that is paid when you buy them, and then you return the can to the store and get your $0.10 back. Picking up cans is a big thing in Michigan, and hardly anyone tosses a can in the trash. My buddy’s neighbor likes to drink a lot of beer, and apparently worked out a deal that my …

Those high powered assault rifles have no use by law abiding citizens in our country! Amiright? A man in Henderson, NC used his AR-15 to defend his life from a violent home invader yesterday morning. Just before 10am the homeowner heard a noise that made him retrieve his AR-15 from under his bed. He the confronted the home invader who fired first, and the homeowner then shot back.

These folks put up a billboard for their business, and are being threatened with legal action and jail time if they don’t take it down.

I took it down to the garage, separated the upper and lower, and retrieved my cleaning supplies. I did the thing that every one of us does, and that is to remove …

Guns.com ran an interesting article yesterday about how Dick’s Sporting Goods sales and stock have taken a nosedive since they stopped selling black rifles back in December. If you remember, I wrote an article a while back about how Dick’s was refusing to sell ammo to those who are not US Citizens citing the BATFE regulations, yet the BATFE’s own website makes it very clear that legal aliens MAY purchase ammo (and firearms!). You may …

This looks pretty awesome. If you know AR’s, you know that BCM makes some of the best rifles out there. Check it out, looks like a winner.  

Daniel Defense has a reputation for making great products, and that reputation is not lost on their small parts. I picked up one of their rail mounted fixed front sights a few months back, and I must say, the quality is phenomenal. The front sight mounted up to my 13″ Troy TRX Extreme easily, and once the screw is locked down, it holds zero without issue. There are a couple of reasons that I purchased …
