My IP lawyer Glenn and I went shooting with Bob Faxon and his friends.

Long-stroke piston rifles were very controllable even at 700rpm. I ended up wearing one pair of gloves over another and still froze. Despite the cold, we all had fun. I will post my observations, photos and videos later this week.
People buy jewelry for others to make them feel better and happier. Often, jewelry indicates commitment. Replacement triggers are similar to that: they are small, somewhat expensive and make your interaction with the gun more pleasant.
Apex trigger for Smith&Wesson M&P pistol has been mentioned on Sayuncle blog for years. I finally got curious enough to try it and got one of my own. It does improve the pistol considerably.
I already have Timney triggers in my M48 Yugo Mauser and Ruger 1o-22. The next rifle to get the upgrade is the Superior Arms HBAR Varminter. It’s a 1/2MOA rifle but shooting that with milspec lower is challenging.
Triggers are great present for people who just can’t pull the trigger on a discretionary puchase for themselves. Make sure to figure out who — you, the recipient or a gunsmith — will install the upgrade.
…is chambered in .35Remington.
PSL aka Romak3 is a 7.62x54R AK clone. It’s a Comblock designated marksman rifle popular in the US mainly because it is far more affordable than the Soviet SVD. It usually comes with either just iron sights or a truly wretched 6x scope on a high side rail mount.
Best examples of this gun yield 1-1.5MOA. In .30 caliber semi-precision rifles, PSL is a fairly economical pick that can be further improved with better optics and forend.
Which is precisely what TWS rail cover and forend provide. The 10x scope shown allows the cover to be unlatched for cleaning while keeping zero.
Another reason for TWS forend: installing 37/40mm launchers. My experience with this handguard on the .308 Vepr has been positive.
This optic is designed for AR15 but works on AK with a receiver rail and cheek riser as well — or you can take off the mount and use lowerrings. Prismatic scope with BDC reticle has magnification of 2.5x and very clear, sharp optics. It’s not an ACOG but gets fairly close for 1/5 of the price, and even offers longer eye relief. The body of the scope looks rather industrial, but the BDC is well designed, light gathering is excellent and illumination is daylight visible even at high noon in the desert.

PLR16 pistol with SU16 rifle stock. Registered as a short-barreled rifle. Vortex red dot, Magpul furniture and Red Lion Precision forend complete it.
That yearling puppy was one of the cutest and most friendly dogs I’ve ever encountered.
This puppy is one year old. He weighs 120 pounds. He’s extremely protective of his humans. Between the puppy, the giraffe and the four year old daughter, they have a full menagerie!
16.5″ black version with Meprolight red dot and Gear Head Works forend (with Primary Arms weapon light). This light is currently on sale.
Late this morning, I saw two messages come in (notification and partial text came across the top of the phone) but neither is visible in the text menu on the phone. So I know that somebody tried to reach me but can’t get to the data. The phone (HTC Inspire) doesn’t bubble up fresh messages on top reliably, so unless I chance onto them by accident, I can’t view them.
To reach me reliably, please use email or call.
My friend Frank just put this up: Food and other essentials for emergencies.
Saw it today in Orlando. Seems to show a Mauser or a 1903 used with round nose bullets, and a pistol with no rear light and hammer down, held by a man who is OK with losing an eye to a recoiling slide. No idea who the background foes are supposed to be.
Keltec PF9 with Twisted Industries .22 conversion kit. As you can see, even 22LR produces a considerable amount of muzzle blast. A typical 22LR round holds one grain of powder, while 9mm Luger is closer to six — the difference in report is quite significant to a newbie shooter.
This time, by restricting NFA trusts. You can comment on their web site. Here’s an example of a constructive comment written by my IP attorney Glenn Bellamy, aka Armorer at Law.
Rob Allen and Joe Huffman also have sample letters up. Please add your voice to the arguments against this ill-considered (or, more likely, ill-meant) plan by ATF.
And I found myself wishing for more clouds for my photo shoot.
Every time I come to Keltec, the most interesting variants of their guns come from the trunks and desk drawers of the employees. This one is no different, coming from a 3-gun shooter. It’s a PLR16 pistol registered as an SBR and fitted with SU16 stock. Very handy little piston gun with a 9.5 inch barrel. Fitted with Vortex Sparc red dot, it’s light and very fast. The flat shape on the shooter’s hip is a slightly customized PMR30.
