Staff Review: Get a Grip!
It is impossible to catalog all the different modifications and improvements that are available for the AR-15. Impossible, because a multitude of different companies are continually coming out with new accessories. This leads to a plethora of choices for the consumer. But what if you don’t feel like buying another accessory, or you don’t have…

TangoDown BG-17 Battlegirp
I’ve never been a fan of the standard A2 grip on the AR-15. I find it’s too thin and encourages placement of the second joint of the index finger onto the trigger, which can lead to poor shooting habits. For this reason, I’ve been running a Magpul MIAD grip for a while.

Rifle Stock Camoflauge Painting DYI: A How-To Guide By: Chad L. If you are like me, you probably don’t like lying prone and getting a cheek weld on a black stock when it’s been sitting in the Texas summer sun. If you arent, you have not lied down prone and put your cheek on a black stock that’s…

Defensive Target Selection
Historical Context Bullseye targets are fine for competition use, but I find them wholly unsatisfactory for defense-based training. Put simply, you are never going to be mugged by a bullseye or have one break into your house.

Simple Green and the KZ Carbon Removal Super Tool
Anyone who has used Soviet surplus 5.45x39mm ammunition knows that it is dirty, nasty and corrosive. I happen to shoot thousands of rounds of the stuff. In fact, I’ve shot so much through my Spike’s 5.45 upper that the bolt carrier locked closed.

MEC-GAR Aftermarket Magazines for the SIG P226
When I came home from Iraq in early 2010, I decided to get myself a welcome-home present. I’d been thinking of getting a SIG Sauer P226, partially on the recommendation of several former members of the British military. Their experience with the SIG P226 impressed them greatly, and they seemed to have much more confidence…

Midwest Industries 15-inch Gen 2 SS Series FF Hanguard – Initial Impressions
I like the idea of having a really long free-float tube on my AR-15. I was introduced to slick-side forearms with the Vltor CASV-M and soon graduated to the Daniel Defense MFR 12.0 that I put onto my 16-inch precision barrel. I liked it, but would rather have something a bit longer, for several reasons.…

LASERLYTE NAA Laser Sight
Hello, well we’re not going to revolutionize defensive hand-gunning with today’s topic. What I can do is show you how much better you can shoot with this laser sight though. I picked this little laser up from my dealer for $50. It was used but new in the package. With an MSRP of $109.95 it dramatically…

Magpul MOE Handguard
Smooth in the hand and extremely light on the weapon. The Magpul MOE Handguard comes in all three lengths for any AR-15 rifle. It also comes in shotgun models.

Magpul MBUS
Who in the world would want a polymer sight? Their going to just break and they won’t zero, right? Wrong. The Magpul MBUS is the only rear sight I feel comfortable depending on.
