Range snapshots of roller-locked guns

With one company making such guns known for rudeness and another for shoddy quality, it was nice to hang out with friendly people who make good 5.56mm, 7.62mm and 9mm roller-locked guns. By accident of lighting and timing, we can … Continue reading

Why aren’t most muzzle devices attached like this?

When I first got vz58 in .223, it arrived with an effective but loud muzzle brake. I deemed it unnecessary and wanted to replace it with a flash hider. Fortunately,  at least four different options are readily available. I got two … Continue reading

What I like about the upcoming Keltec RDB

Bottom ejection is left and right hand compatible. Felt recoil is extremely low without a compensator — which makes me really wonder about the concussive muzzle brake installed on this demo gun. Great trigger, reversible charging handle, excellent accuracy. 1-6x … Continue reading

I really like vz58 in .223

While 7.62×39 version is cute, tiny and pretty punchy, the .223 is more of an all-around fighting rifle. Using the same barrel blank as the 7.62, the 5.56mm version is more accurate, heats up slower and has less recoil. In … Continue reading

Rapid fire

Steve from Shootsteel.com is running his AR. PWS FSC muzzle brake is loud but effective. The scope is Weaver 1.5-6x. I shot this rifle today as well, it worked as well off-hand as supported.

Tavor musings

I have a left-hand bolt for my Tavor but had no idea how to install it. At this weekend’s Bullpup Convention at Rockcastle Shooting Center, Casey Flack from IWI had an armorer’s class on doing the conversion. It takes basic tools, … Continue reading

Short and long range Israeli martial arts

Tavor for the long range. Krav Maga for the short. I suppose the Glock would be for the medium, or when long guns would be inexpedient in confined spaces. Neat Kydex by Raven Concealment.

Battlepack

I haven’t seen sealed battlepacks since the South African 300-rounders. Now PPU is bringing them to the US. They look pretty useful for long-term storage.

Pretty in pink

It seems like every other military rifle design borrows heavily from the AR18 and AR180 design, yet very few of them were built and fewer yet adopted by institutional users.
