Barnes Precision Machine- Workhorse AR’s At A Price That Won’t Break The Bank

Barnes Precision Machine- Workhorse AR’s At A Price That Won’t Break The Bank

{ 6 comments }

What can I say about Barnes Precision Machine AR’s? Apparently, a lot, since I have written about them here, here, here, here, and here. Oh, and here too. As far as bang for the buck, they are very hard to beat. Most of my personal rifles are BPM, including the one with my ODA number [...]

Nordic Components PCC - Best of the 9mm Carbines

Nordic Components PCC – Best of the 9mm Carbines

{ 1 comment }

Let us not forget, in the great gun ban being proposed at the moment, any PCC  (Pistol Caliber Carbine) that happens to look like an AR, will be banned. If a 9mm carbine has been on your bucket list, this is probably the time. You can read my full review here, and I believed in [...]

LWRCI – Patriot Brown, Just In Time For A New Lexington And Concord

LWRCI – Patriot Brown, Just In Time For A New Lexington And Concord

{ 6 comments }

The show stealer this week was the LWRCI PDW, but it wasn’t the only outstanding offering from LWRCI. Until we abolish the unconstitutional NFA, a full sized rifle is a much easier reach for most of us. And LWRCI happens to have that in spades. Fair warning. The MSRP on the LWRC IC-A5 is definitely [...]

SIG MCX Virtus Long-Term Endurance Test Part 2

SIG MCX Virtus Long-Term Endurance Test Part 2

{ 3 comments }

Months ago, we started the SIG MCX Virtus test, to see how it would hold up under 2000 rounds suppressed. The test consisted of no cleaning or lubrication. This has also been in a variety of weather conditions if you remember me cooling the suppressor off in the snow back in December. It turns out, [...]

Ruger SR556 Takedown

Ruger SR556 Takedown

As part of our coverage for AR week, we are leading the charge with a Ruger model sure to make a Californian crap in Xe’s pants. Ruger has been making AR’s for a while now, at a price that makes them attractive. The Ruger SR556 Takedown is by far the most expensive in the catalog, [...]

LWRC PDW - Dynamite Comes In Small Packages

LWRC PDW – Dynamite Comes In Small Packages

{ 23 comments }

I have been on record as disliking short barreled rifles ( SBR’s), not because I think you shouldn’t be allowed to own one, but because they are ineffective. The velocity loss from chopping a barrel below 16 inches in 5.56 caliber is catastrophic in terms of combat effectiveness, with shorter being exponentially worse. I felt [...]

Well, it is either unimpeachable or it isn’t. Only a complete cuck tries to have his cake and eat it too. Which is exactly what you are doing if you follow your arguments to their logical conclusion.

So in a nutshell, all of the reasons to carry the XD-E I might not necessarily agree with. Some of them don’t apply to me specifically. But I can understand why they were done.

Sight Swap! Put XS F8 Tritium Night Sights on Your Glock

Sight Swap! Put XS F8 Tritium Night Sights on Your Glock

XS sights install slightly different than most but are still easy to do (Make sure to watch the video!) The rear sight is held by set screws, pre-embedded in the sight block. The sight dovetail is like a pyramid, getting wider at the bottom

Sabatti Rover Tactical – A .308 Powerhouse w/ Unique Multi-Radial Rifling — Full Review

Sabatti Rover Tactical – A .308 Powerhouse w/ Unique Multi-Radial Rifling — Full Review

Sabatti is a new brand to me, though it is far from new to firearms. They have been in the gun business for 400 years, an unbroken line of smiths from father to son, with no interruptions. That is a pretty big deal considering most of us, me included, couldn’t tell you how exactly our ancestors arrived on the continent.
