    Black Dog Machine 22 Drum Magazines

    Good Morning, I got a couple new toys to play with yesterday. If you read a recent post of mine about the Smith MP-22 and full auto fun with the Slidefire stock then you can understand why you might want a couple of these. Those 25 round factory mags are empty in a blink of an…

  • TangoDown BG-17 Battlegirp

    TangoDown BG-17 Battlegirp

    I’ve never been a fan of the standard A2 grip on the AR-15. I find it’s too thin and encourages placement of the second joint of the index finger onto the trigger, which can lead to poor shooting habits. For this reason, I’ve been running a Magpul MIAD grip for a while.

    Rifle Stock Camoflauge Painting DYI: a how-to guide.

    Rifle Stock Camoflauge Painting DYI: A How-To Guide By:  Chad L. If you are like me, you probably don’t like lying prone and getting a cheek weld on a black stock when it’s been sitting in the Texas summer sun. If you arent, you have not lied down prone and put your cheek on a black stock that’s…

  • New Frontier Armory – LW15: Lightweight Polymer Lowers

    One of the key benefits of polymers is that they retain their shape and size better in extreme cold and yes, heat (unless you are the human torch, why do you care that your Glock would melt if cooked at 450 degrees?), and they also spring back to their original shape after bending or twisting…

  • Midwest Industries Gen 2 SS Handguard

    Midwest Industries continues to excel in the lightweight free-float handguard department. Their Gen. 2 SS 12″ rail comes in at almost the same exact weight as standard AR-15/M4 plastic handguards, with all the benefits of a free-float forearm.

  • Springfield XDS Part 2:

    Springfield XDS Part 2:

    Hello, welcome to Pt. 2 of the Springfield XDS 45acp review. This will be short and sweet. Pretty much this pistol is the greatest invention since the stuffed crust frozen pizza. I thought technology had reached it’s pinnacle with the delicious cheesy crust frozen pizza and we may as well abolish the patent office. Nothing else was needed…

    Full Auto Style Fun: A S&W 22 with a Slidefire

    Good Evening, Today I started on a new project. If you caught my Slidefire Stock article then you’ve seen that thing could really burn up some ammo. It’s fun but not worth the expense to me to burn up 300-400 rds of 5.56 in a day just for grins. So I decided to work up a cheaper…

    My dad’s 22-250 he built in 1966 Sako short action mated to a Pre 64 Winchester stainless target barrel originally chambered in 220 Swift.  A guy ordered it, changed his mind and my dad bought it off of him for 15 bucks! Cut it down to 22″ and rechambered in 22-250.

  • Tactical Applications Group: Spartan II Armor Carrier

    Tactical Applications Group: Spartan II Armor Carrier

    The number of people who have actually worn body armor at work is small. Most are military and law enforcement. In fact, the vast majority of civilians who purchase a plate carrier will do so for airsoft or paintball use. There’s nothing wrong with this, but for those few civilians who have actually had to…

  • Defensive Target Selection

    Defensive Target Selection

    Historical Context Bullseye targets are fine for competition use, but I find them wholly unsatisfactory for defense-based training. Put simply, you are never going to be mugged by a bullseye or have one break into your house.
