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.

Trijicon SRS Gets a Bath
I’ve been running a Trijicon SRS red dot on various AR-15 uppers for about a month and a half now. I’ve put well over a thousand rounds downrange (mostly 5.45x39mm) with this optic and have truly fallen in love with it. But what’s that old saying about always hurting the one you love? It’s never…

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.
