Gunsmithing

I recently bought a Shield for concealed carry. The stock trigger is better than I expected, but I wanted something a little lighter. I want every component to be as effective as possible. Towards that end, I purchased the Apex Tactical Flat-Faced Trigger and Duty/Carry Kit. The kit comes with everything you need to make your trigger lighter and, more importantly, smoother.

So often when I see firearm upgrade videos though, the modifications are usually extensive and well beyond most budgets. We thought it’d be fun then to do a video that focused on easy modifications a person could do to their pistol with a more reasonable budget. So armed with $100 I started perusing the local gunshops and online to find the parts and pieces that I’d need to modify my bone stock Glock 34 Gen4 to ready it for competition.

Just as some people like to work on their own cars, I like to work on my own guns because the process can be fun and rewarding. One project that I like to do from time to time is to refinish firearms to give them a better appearance and long-lasting protection. For most of my refinishing projects, DuraCoat has been my go-to brand for a number of years for many reasons.

I decided to make a Kydex cheek riser and install it on my rifle. I could have ordered one, but making it myself allowed me to customize it to my rifle. Plus, it’s way more fun.

Today’s instruction is what I found is needed between 20,000 and 30,000 rounds. The awesome part of this rebuild is that it’ll only cost you 35 bucks!

Why make a bolt-action handgun? Is it a design built to comply with California’s emerging and increasingly intolerant firearm laws? Of course it is.

The ATF put a stop to SD Tactical’s “solvent trap” business. A solvent trap is a catch-all term for a parts kit for building a suppressor.

Polymer80 is introducing two new 80 percent pistol frames for 2017. These uncompleted receivers are compatible with Glock 19 parts and aftermarket parts.
