Magpul PMag Fo-Tay

Aw Yiss. http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG233 In a move to enhance safety for responsible citizens, military, and law enforcement alike, Magpul Industries is now shipping the PMAG 40 GEN M3. Several years in the making, the PMAG 40 was delayed while GEN M3 technology was perfected to insure the highest quality product and full compatibility with the USMC [...]

Lug & Gun — or — Don’t You Wish You Were Ninja Like Me

So a culmination of events mean that I get to shoot a competition again shortly! My Club’s brand spanking new five, count ‘em, five, 40 yard bays were shut down for months on orders of the EPA to check drainage runoff. This killed our fledgling USPSA and “Tactical” (practical rifle and pistol) match operations. But [...]

Other Hazards of Low Quality ARs

As we’ve seen previously with the dismal MMC AR-15, the biggest problem with buying crappy ARs and AR parts is that you spend about the same money for a useless, out of spec piece of trash when you could have gotten a real rifle instead. But as Erin Palette unhappily discovered with the scam artists [...]

Old People Were Right All Along: pdb Rediscovers Giant American Cars, Double Edged Razors and The Winchester 1894

So last week my desultory biweekly check of the sadly dusty Walmart ammo counter turned up a few boxes of .30-30. Remembering that I had a Winchester 1894 that I’d never shot, I grabbed two boxes (Don’t bogart the ammo, gunbros) and took Great-Grandpa’s gun down to PHA with me that Friday along with my [...]

An Ode To The GI Twenty

So the combination of a break in the weather and some friends and family wanting to hit the range resulted in almost a solid month of regular range visits. My new ARs got a good workout, as everyone wants to shoot the semi-automatic hip-spraying bullet hose. I gladly traded (slowly) depleting my stash of steel [...]

Gun Porn: Two Winchesters

Here’s a better look at my great-grandfather’s 1894s:

Gun Porn: Two .30-06′s

Do you know why nobody panic-buys .30-06? Because the man with a .30-06 doesn’t panic.

Bottom Of The Barrel: A Look At The Moores Machine Co. AR-15

My cousin recently succumbed to the 2013 Fever and bought an AR-15, against my advice, at the peak of the frenzy. Thinking that “An AR is an AR”, he brought home a Moores Machine Company AR-15 from the Sillman Cartridge company, fully dressed in UTG and Chinese accessories. This rifle cost him about $1300 out [...]

YOU CAN’T EXPLAIN THAT

From this event in New York the other day. And yet the police are the only ones who can be trusted to have military style assault rifles, eh? [Update! Kind tip of the hat to D2k @ Sayuncle for providing a high resolution scan of the top image. Survey says: EOTech!]

Revised Notes On Zeroing The Defensive Carbine

A few years ago, I wrote some advice for getting bullets launched from your AR-15 type on paper. I’d like to amend my post and instead recommend you read and pay close attention to what Jack Leuba and Kyle Defoor have written on the 100 yard zero. I applied this to my own rifles and [...]
