    Is an Empty Chamber Dangerous?

    Oh Hell, I had terrible angst over buying a auto-pistol with a safety, much less if there is a round in the chamber. All my "loaded" handguns are ready to rock, even the compact with the safety (first striker-fired) if not in my pocket. Decades of LE made it that the way period with the only...

    What Is Direct Impingement?

    Shovelhead73, I owned one of those and often wonder where she is today... I ride a Victory now and less hair for the wind. But bought the FX, new while in High School and noticed the Daddy's locking up their daughters as I rumbled up the driveway. The long hair and Fu Manchu didn't help much...

    Carbon Fiber Barrel vs. Steel — Which Is Better?

    Great read for those of us they were a bit suspect as to the longevity of Carbon wrapped. Watched a "you-tube" the other day of a thousand rounds passed through one, in a short time. Found I was surprised the carbon was cooler than the exposed steel. Didn't watch to the end and will have to...

    Flying the Bell AH-1 Cobra Gunship

    You teaching the techs to fly, was a wise one. Working for a Company that surmised it would more cost effective to allow them to do starts and run-ups, not knowing how to fly was okay. Some of us old grays thought, hmm, how long till... Not disappointed in our concern, one Tech got to solo...

    What Is Direct Impingement?

    Well done and wish an article like this was around in the early days, before I started messing with em... But like any new subject it would have aided in one to grasp the concept beyond sticking some oil in the holes above the... ah... ringy thingies? I asked my sleek nitrated chrome-lined hunk...

    M72 LAW: American Light Anti-Tank Weapon in Vietnam and Beyond

    Just like the Huey, M-14, .45 ACP, and even the ole OH-58 (which they did kill with a less efficient helo at 3 times the cost), them 1950 designers had their act together. Hell even the AH Cobra is soldiering on with the Marines as some weapons systems are just that good. With the Battle Field...

    Two-Tone Desert FDE M1A Review

    Got a standard issue back in 97 and now it resides on an Arch Angel stock and Venom glass mounted on top. In hind-sight should have gotten the match Barrel instead as it is a moa+ rifle, but still a hoot to shoot. Especially banging metal or standard targets, but ruined with the Creedmoor for...

    AKM vs. AK-47: What’s the Difference?

    Yep, that would be it and mine either, but that trigger is sweet…. Keep it with the thumbhole to remind me of the last time the rifles were under assault.

    My Unpopular Opinion: Don’t Customize Your Gun

    True, as they are built in on the Bullpup, but I would have to release the quick disconnect and pop-em up. However a couple are Tritium powered and thus a failure would have to be pretty bad as there is no battery. The AR's, a different story with the LPVO and such. I am a anti-clutter guy...

    My Unpopular Opinion: Don’t Customize Your Gun

    I don't use the slings as much now since most shooting is off a bench on a range restricting any movement for safety reasons. But when something is amiss somewhere on the Farm in the middle of the night, the ole sling is nice to have for the time it takes to check things out, As for furniture...

    AKM vs. AK-47: What’s the Difference?

    Awesome article and I never knew any of this as I do have a Hungary build semi-auto version on the vault. I have to say it has one of the best triggers of the rifles and on par with some I paid ten times as much. Go figure and on a stamped weapon and I don't play with it enough, based on the...

    My Unpopular Opinion: Don’t Customize Your Gun

    I resemble that remark... But removed the Irons, hated to but the back didn't fit and I haven't warmed up to the 45 degree mounts, just too much for this old fart. The ACSS awesome.

    My Unpopular Opinion: Don’t Customize Your Gun

    Hmm, 1st Amendment, well I have seen a few appeals based on implied racism, even when there was none. But the media had a field day and couple careers falsely tarnished regardless, as they have no respect. Now with the easy ability of the State to stack a Jury based on legal and illegally...

    My Unpopular Opinion: Don’t Customize Your Gun

    I have found on the mounting of a sling of which all the weapons have and I do prefer two point over single point. The stock mounting is easy, the other side from my face. The forward mounts vary based on where my hand falls and if there is a device like a forward grip or stop. The good thing...

    My Unpopular Opinion: Don’t Customize Your Gun

    Hmm, a bit of a mixed bag of mods or no mods, to keep the original format the gun came in. Went with a IWI Tavor and had to use the Mepro red dot because it too is Israel and weapon accurate. With the Saint Victor, LPVO, nothing more. The WWI and WWII and Soviet SKS, original all the way, no...

    Why People Hate the 1911 (and Why They’re Wrong)

    I have one that holds 15 in the Mag and 1 in the pipe and I don't think I can hide it on my skinny butt, anywhere... Maybe a skinny 1911 might work.
