Surefire SFMB-556-1/2-28 muzzle brake
Previously, I’ve reviewed muzzle brakes from Griffin Armament and Rainier Arms, finding them to be quite effective. Each has its benefits and drawbacks. I found myself looking for a brake to permanently attach to a 14.5″ barreled upper I was building. Like everyone who has ever watched Chris Costa (or a host of other high-speed, low-drag, tactical…

KHT Historic (Improved) Khukuri
I have been a fan of the Nepali Khukuri ever since I encountered it in the hands of Ex-Gurkhas in southern Iraq, in 2009. I love the design of the khukuri and use one on a regular basis. It is my constant companion when hiking in the woods, as its versatility and strength are a…

B5 SOPMOD Stock
I’ve made several modifications to my AR-15 over the years. Well, to be more specific, I’ve changed every single part on the damn thing. I’ve put thousands of rounds (at least 8,000 in the last year and a half) through this gun. I’ve dropped it, kicked it, thrown it on the ground in frustration, fired…

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…

Survival Food Rations 101
Today I want to go over some recent purchases of mine. If you ever read my series called “Food for Thought” which was just a brief overview of some “what if” situations and possible ways to prepare for them, then this takes off from there. One of the shortages I had when I wrote that…

BulletProofMe Level III Armor Plate
I have done a couple articles on steel body armor plates, of which I am a big fan. A few months ago, the kind people at BulletProofMe.com sent me a 10″x13″ steel Level III armor plate to submit to destructive testing. After long deliberation, I finally took it out and tested it well past the…

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,…
