    Let me go on record as saying that I am a big fan of ProEars and regularly wear their Predator Gold Electronic Ear Muffs. Once you have upgraded to a good pair of electronic ear muffs you will never be satisfied with simple foam ear plugs or passive ear muffs. And the cheap electronic ear…

    Nebo PROTEC Long Gun Mount with Rail System Review

    The Nebo PROTEC Long Gun Mount with Rail System is an all-purpose mount for lasers and lights on most any rifle, shotgun or scope. For $17 it seemed worth a try as I have a couple new 870’s and I wanted to get lights on them.

  • Ballistic Advantage 14.5″ Lightweight Middy

    Ballistic Advantage 14.5″ Lightweight Middy

    When Ballistic Advantage sent me their 14.5 inch mid-length Tactical Government profile barrel in 5.45x39mm, I thought I’d found the perfect AR-15 carbine barrel for cheap ammo usage. I was wrong. Though that barrel was shorter than 16 inch, it was the same weight as a government profile, 28 ounces. Yes, it had better handling.…
