The Trijicon SRS Drag and Dive
I’ve abused my Trijicon SRS before, but in the last few weeks, I’ve taken that mistreatment to new levels. As you saw in the review of the Special Ops Tactical quad rail, I drug the SRS through a gravel parking lot, which did not affect its functionality at all. I have put thousands of rounds…

Special Ops Tactical 12.6″ Quad Rail
I’m hard on my equipment. In fact, I abuse it in ways that most would consider to be bordering on criminal. I regularly shoot hundreds of corrosive rounds out of my AR-15 without even thinking of cleaning it. I stick pistols in the freezer and even in the oven. I throw guns into puddles. I…

ASC 5.45 magazines
While I love running the 5.45x39mm cartridge through my AR-15, the weak point to the whole weapon system has always been the magazine. And though the Soviet 5.45 was designed as a reaction to the 5.56, there are some substantial differences between the two cartridges. The most important one is the case angle.

Rock River Arms Quad Rail Aluminum FF Handguard – CAR Length
In a world full of extended rails, there are times when a carbine-length rail is needed. Whether running an SBR or simply going with a more traditional look, the shorter handguard has its place. This is where the Rock River Arms CAR length Quad Rail comes in handy.

Staff Review: Hurricane Sandy vs. Froglube
Hurricane Sandy is being described as “intense,” “dangerous” and “life-threatening.” The hybrid Frankenstorm had everyone (including myself) making preparations, battening down the hatches, and expecting the worst. Thousands evacuated, others huddled together in fear of what was coming. I heard on the radio, “If you don’t absolutely need to be out, stay home.” So naturally,…

Tuff1 Grip Covers
In a previous article on grip tape, I examined some of the possibilities for DIY weapon modification. However, some things need a bit more than bathtub tape. I looked for a product that had all of the grip I needed without being too costly. I found it in the Tuff1 grip cover.

DIY Mauer – ATI Modification
In the hot summer of 2002, I became the owner of a Yugoslavian M48A Mauser rifle from what was then Moyer’s Gun Shop. Throughout the blazing months of July and August, I fed stripper clip after stripper clip into my rifle and constantly found myself wiping cosmoline off of my rifle’s stock. Having been in…

Staff Review: Glock Gen 3 “Hack Job”
I get asked often for advice on a carry piece. It is hard to go wrong with a Glock 19. Bone stock they work fine but better sights and trigger definitely improve it.

Timney Mauser Featherweight Deluxe
In the summer after I graduated high school, a friend of mine and I decided we needed Mauser rifles. After some searching, we settled on the Yugoslavian M48A and soon each of us was the proud owner of a beautiful surplus Mauser, covered in cosmoline. Over the next couple of years, we fired countless rounds…

Surplus European Camouflage
I’m a big fan of Not Getting Shot. It’s right up there on my list with continuing to breathe and retaining my Constitutional Rights. Not Getting Shot is a wide-ranging concept for me. It includes keeping small pointy pieces of metal from perforating my tender hide. It also includes not getting shot by some jerk…

Deliberate Dynamics Universal Speed Tab
The Universal Speed Tab, made by Deliberate Dynamics, is a solidly-made hand stop that attaches to your military standard Picatinny rail. I’m not a stranger to various hand stops and vertical grips, so let’s compare the UST to its competition.

Griffin Armament M4SD II Muzzle Brake
I love keeping my barrel flat as I pump multiple rounds into the target, which is why I like muzzle brakes and compensators like the Griffin Armament M4SD II. Like everyone else on the Internet, I’ve run into the 5.56 vs. 7.62 debate. It gets even messier when you throw in my favorite caliber, the…

Rainier Arms RMC
A few months ago, I put a Rainier Arms XTC on a medium contoured 16-inch barrel and was very pleased with the results. For the longest time, I thought that the decreased recoil and minimal muzzle rise, when compared to the standard A2, was mostly due to the 7 ounces of extra barrel weight. How…
