  I have a Hatsan Gladius Long precharged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle in .22 caliber that I use to dispatch garden pests and have written a number of posts about it.

• How to Move Streamlight TLR Weapon Light To Another Pistol If you Lost Your Keys October 10, 2020
  Years ago, I found out that cheap lights are not something to put on a firearm for self-defense. They simply are not reliable enough. I’ve also found that Streamlight weapons lights hold up plus are backed by top notch support. For pistols, I have a number of the TLR series weapons lights ...

• Building a 12.7×42 (.50 Beowulf) 7.5″ Pistol – The Wulferine: Post 1 – Planning The Parts September 26, 2020
  My friends know I am eccentric so I’ll point that out right up front. I design and build firearms that are very practical and some that are pushing the fringe.

• What are rear stock options for SDS Lynx 12 Gauge shotguns? September 5, 2020

  The short answer is that they are the same thing. The bullet’s diameter is 0.50″ which is 12.7mm and the case length is 1.65″ or 42mm. The reason you see some vendors say they have something to sell in 12.7x42mm is they are trying to avoid a trademark problem with Alexander Arms. ...

• Going Nuclear on Mosquitoes – Awesome Affordable DIY Sprayer System August 25, 2020

• Adding Hogue Rubber Grips to my 10mm TRP Operator Longslide August 24, 2020
  After I finished polishing the chamber of my new 10mm TRP Operator Longslide, I also replaced the VZ Grips.

The VZ-Grips that come with the TRP are very ...
• Tuning the 10mm Springfield Armory TRP Operator To Feed Reliably August 24, 2020
  After the very disappointing performance of my new 6″ 10mm TRP Operator at the range, I knew I had two options. First, I could send the pistol back to Springfield Armory for repair or two, I could try just a bit of light polishing first. I had good reason to want to try ...
