This week, on adventures in amateur gunsmithing, we acquired a basic M4 Carbine-style AR kit for a DIY AR build project. The kit comes with a complete upper receiver and a lower parts kit. All you need to supply is a lower receiver.So, come with us on this DIY journey on home building our own AR!

Many factors go into how a weapon functions and the ballistics of your chosen projectile. 5.56 is absolutely fine as a combat cartridge. As long as you can move the bullet fast enough. But, is there a better option for all the other situations?

When it comes down to it, not many of us have an unlimited budget when it comes to survival gear. So, while we might want the latest 10k night vision optic, most of us are on a tighter budget. But, thanks to Midsouth Shooters Supply, we have the $499.97 Photon XT.

It may be a controversial position to take, but that has never stopped me before. Gin is superior to vodka. Also, shotguns are not the end-all, be-all solution for self-defense. Especially not for new shooters.

Finally, even the dinosaurs over at Mother Corps have woken up to the facts. The 1911 is a terrible choice for a combat handgun…

A nation of people unfamiliar with arms is a soft nation, and none of this bodes well for the military charged with protecting our way of life.

Poor Mr. Kaepernick. It is so unfair the way he has been treated over the years, by this clearly racist country.

The FN15 as configured is an excellent choice for a hunting or home defense gun. And I for one think we are going to see further evolution of the AR platform under the FN banner. For one thing, only they can truly call upon the spirit of Saint John Moses Browning.

The Colt Delta Elite in 10mm combines the potent power of that magnum-force autopistol cartridge with the classic 1911 format. Born in the 1980s, this pistol is still alive and kicking today.
