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 [...]

Barnes Precision Machine- Workhorse AR’s At A Price That Won’t Break The Bank
BY Clay Martin Published: March 10, 2018 { 6 comments }Nordic Components PCC – Best of the 9mm Carbines
BY Clay Martin Published: March 10, 2018 { 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
BY Clay Martin Published: March 10, 2018 { 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
BY Clay Martin Published: March 9, 2018 { 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, [...]
LWRC PDW – Dynamite Comes In Small Packages
BY Clay Martin Published: March 7, 2018 { 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 [...]
M&P-10 Sport – Bargain Bin Price That Is Big On Performance.
BY Clay Martin Published: March 1, 2018 { 40 comments }I must confess that sometimes I am a bit of a gun snob, especially as it relates to rifles. I don’t have any full custom second mortgage guns, but I generally look well above the price point of the M&P 10 that came in for review this week. As a retired military sniper and [...]
Sabatti Rover Tactical – A .308 Powerhouse w/ Unique Multi-Radial Rifling — Full Review
BY Clay Martin Published: February 23, 2018 { 21 comments }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.
Phoenix Weaponry is Building Integrally Suppressed .338-06 Bolt Guns
BY Max Slowik Published: February 22, 2018 { 5 comments }“This is your opportunity to shoot the heavy loads and high velocities in the field without paying the price with your hearing,” says Phoenix. “None of us like spending the next three days wondering if there is a phone ringing somewhere.”
Remington 870 DM Magpul & 700 Magpul v. Nevada Coyotes — Full Review
BY Eric Conn Published: February 21, 2018 { 0 comments }There’s more open country and public land within driving distance of Ely, Nevada, than the naked eye can take in. From rolling hills and a sea of endless cedars to the vast horizons of sage flats, it’s perfect country for coyotes. It was also perfect for putting two of Remington’s newest firearms to the ultimate predator hunting test. On a two-day hunt, we’d be using two modern takes on Remington classics—the 870 DM Magpul & the Model 700 Magpul.

BY Eric Conn Published: February 21, 2018 { 6 comments }Whether you’re talking about hunting or military applications, the.308 Winchester is by far and away one of the most versatile and popular cartridges ever made. Introduced in 1952 and later adapted for military use as the 7.62 NATO, or 7.62x51mm NATO, the mighty.308 was first chambered for Winchester’s legendary Model
