Transition to Tactical: Burris AR-332
I’ve been a fan of Burris optics for years and I’ve used a variety of their scopes on a few of my guns. I think the brand is one of the best out there, and I haven’t had a bad experience with them. I really wanted a nice tactical rifle and I decided on an…

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.

The SCCY CPX-2 has all the features you would expect in a modern, semi-automatic pistol. The slide locks back on an empty magazine, the mag drops free and the slide release is well placed on the frame. The magazine itself is a traditional double-stack 10-rounder, which is quite compact.

Deliberate Dynamics Low-Profile Plate Carrier
As stated in a previous article, I’m a big fan of not having metal (or anything, really) pierce my tender flesh. In fact, I have spent a large portion of my life trying to keep metal out of my body. Body armor accomplishes this very well. Rifle plates in particular are an excellent way to prevent…

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”

Staff Sneak Peak: Kahles optics
Kahles is the oldest scope manufacture in the world. They are very popular in Europe along with Swarovksi, S&B and Zeiss. Optically, they are right there with them but the US never caught on due to lack of marketing efforts and proper distribution. That has changed last year when Ken Pratt, an experienced US military…

Cameras and Guns – Part 1
For a firearms reviewer, cameras are essential. They’re part of our lifeblood. However, getting good images is not only the concern of reviewers.

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…

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…
