    From Collector to Prepper: Part 3. Handguns

    Hello again, so far we knocked out ammo choices and the value of a 22LR. Today I want to discuss a handgun’s value and usage’s in a world that has gone down the tubes. I admit I am personally a bit prejudiced against them but they do have some merit’s.

  • Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed M4 Chest Rig

    Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed M4 Chest Rig

    Previously, I’ve written several articles on body armor and armor carriers. However, armor is heavy and not always appropriate to the situation. What if you want to run a chest rig unarmored and are looking to keep weight to a minimum? Enter the Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed M4 Chest Rig. This ultra-lightweight piece of gear…

  • Savage MK II TR 22 long rifle

    Savage MK II TR 22 long rifle

    Today I am taking a break from my “end of the world” prepper series to discuss a specific rifle in my prepper plan. Savage MK II TR is a recent purchase but I have spent enough time behind her to give you the rundown. So here it is.

  • Suppressors

    Suppressors

    TGR asked a friend in the suppressor manufacturing business for some words of advice for someone looking to buy their first can.  Barry was kind enough to offer his suggestions. Sorry I missed you at the SHOT show.  Though Silencer Tech did not have a booth, it was a very busy and productive trip for…

    From Collector to Prepper Pt. 2 The 22 Long Rifle.

    By: Cary Kieffer Goodmorning, I certainly am not the first guy to go over this but I am the first guy on TGR, so today we will discuss the pro’s/con’s of the 22 long rifle in case “the world as we know it” comes to an end. Is the 22 a necessity for a prepper? I…

  • PRESS RELEASE: White Sound Defense Releases Flash Suppressor / Recoil Compensator for .223 / 5.56 Firearms

    The FOSSA-556 by White Sound Defense is a high performance multifunction muzzle device. It suppresses muzzle flash and vents gasses away from the ground to limit dust disturbance.

    From Collector to Prepper: A Look at My Changes Pt. 1 Caliber Choices

    Today I want to start a series of articles covering some thoughts and some things I have done with my own “arsenal” over the last few years. This just is not the country I grew up in and for the much worse. I was  mainly a military rifle collector and a most any kind of pistol…

  • AR15 Cartridge open discussion

    So, with all the cartridges available now for the AR15 other than .223 or 5.56 I thought it would be a good topic for discussion. What I want is people that have direct experience to share them.  If you have hunted hogs with a 6.8 and a 300 Blackout for example..   How did they compare…

  • Cold Steel Torture Test: Recon Tanto VS Brinks Safe

    Cold Steel Torture Test: Recon Tanto VS Brinks Safe

    I wanted to post a story and some pics of a recent impromptu “knife durability test” I conducted. The whole “right tool for the job” thing was not going my way and I ended up using my Cold Steel Recon Tanto to get into a safe. This was not an easy thing to do and the…

  • Scorpion Tactical Upper Receiver

    Scorpion Tactical Upper Receiver

    Testing rifle components is a time-consuming and laborious process. It’s also one that requires a large amount of precision. And if there’s one thing that I’ve learned in testing various AR-15 components, it’s that you need a quality upper. Handguards, barrels, charging handles and bolt carrier groups are all routinely swapped out in my dedicated…

    The Shashka Carbine – Part 1

    If you look at some of the popular “tactical” AR-15 carbines that have come out over the last few years, it’s easy to notice a trend. Haley Strategic’s Jack Carbine, LaRue’s Costa Edition 5.56, the EAG Tactical Carbine, and Noveske’s Light Carbine and Afghan… all use a 14.5 inch barrel with a mid-length gas system.
