gun parts

Several years back, I took a small ring Mauser 96, in 6.5×5,5 and turned it into a scout-type rifle. It later became a more traditional rifle with normal scope mounts and a turned-down bolt. In that configuration it became my loaner, backup, knock-around rifle for friends and relatives that asked to borrow a rifle for impromptu hunts. 

We finally wrapped up our Primary Arms pistol lower build, out of all the orphan parts. We had a lot of fun completely disregarding color schemes as we perused the sale pages and bought whatever was in stock. Which ended us with a 2A lower, radian safety, mag pul grip, and an AR Gold Trigger. Oh, and a CMMG RipBrace since this was a pistol configuration, one of my favorite parts to hit the market this year. So finally, we can get to the point. And the point was to make a 7.62×39 pistol from AR parts.

Many years ago, I purchased my first Glock pistol, in 9mm. Almost immediately, I went to the Lone Wolf website and ordered a replacement barrel for it. Why? Because the advice of all the serious Glock guys was to do exactly that.

The FCU’s have been flowing for some time now, I know. But I wanted my first build to be something magical, and that has taken time to source parts for. Finally, everything came together this week. I, for one, think it was worth the wait.

While local gun stores are re-stocking COVID emptied shelves, many adventurous shooters have embraced build it yourself options. Lone Wolf Arms Freedom Wolf is a significant upgrade to current 80%ers. The family resemblance to the Timberwolf® frame and the LTD is no coincidence, the great performance features are all present. The Freedom Wolf kit can be shipped straight to your door, with no Federal Firearms License required. Simply follow the instructions provided, and 48 hours later, you will be ready to assemble and shoot your home built Freedom Wolf!

Considering Phoenix Weaponry’s master machining focus, innovative approach to rifle components, ridiculously high tolerances, build quality, and, in this case, adjustability, it’s clear this stock is purposed and perfectly suited for precision shooting.

The sky is the limit with the first truly modular handgun, and the Pro-Cut slides are an important milestone in development. We are going to see big things from the P320 series. And I can’t wait to see what components come out next.
