• Great Video of Ian McCollum and Larry Vickers Discussing the History of AK-47 Rifles November 13, 2018
  Two guys I really respect, Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons and Larry Vickers discuss the history of the AK-47 and also show Larry’s new book on AK rifles.  They cover a ton of information through questions submitted by Ian’s followers.  For people into the history of the Kalashnikov rifle, this is well worth your time. Here ...
• Very Cool AK Assembly Video From WBP Rogów – Tons of Tooling Shown November 12, 2018
  This past Spring I built a Polish Beryl inspired rifle from a WBP kit imported by Arms of America and was very impressed by the quality.  I was surfing around on Youtube and ran into this really cool video posted by WBP Rogow showing how they build an AK.  I found all the specialized tooling ...
• The Ingersoll Rand 125 Needle Scaler is a HUGE Time Saver + An Into to Needlers November 6, 2018
  One of the things you learn in Michigan when you have to work on cars is how to deal with rust. Most cars after 10 years in Michigan look like they were dipped in the ocean and then allowed to rust like crazy. It’s pretty much inevitable. The older the car the worst shape they ...
• Hoover Carpet Shampooers are Totally Worth It!! November 5, 2018
  I bet you did not expect to see me do a post about carpet shampooers or as some call them “carpet cleaners” or “carpet cleaning machines”.  We’ve owned dogs and had kids for years plus we have light colored carpets.  Keeping them clean is no easy matter and maybe 4-6 times per year we shampoo ...
• Honeywell’s Howard Leight Electronic Hearing Protection is Great!! November 3, 2018
  This summer  I switched to Honeywell’s Howard Leight electronic earmuffs and absolutely love them.  The reason is simple, my hearing is horrible – I sure wish I knew to protect my hearing when I was younger and am paying for it now.  When I wear traditional earmuffs, I can’t hear anyone talk.  With these, you ...
• Ryobi P721 Hybrid 20 Watt LED Work Light is Fantastic!! November 3, 2018
  I finally gave up trying to keep my old Ryobi 18 volt flashlights working or converting them to LED.  Ryobi sells a 20 watt LED worklight, model # P721 that is really slick and uses their 18 volt batteries.  I bought one at my local Home Depot and used it all summer while working on ...
• Ryobi P739 18 Volt Compressor Is Very Handy And Is Holding Up Great! November 3, 2018
  The one thing I notice about getting older is that I don’t have the strength to go lugging around as much as I used to not to mention I don’t have a ton of patience either.  This issue affects me when it comes to portable compressors. Because of Ronin’s Grips, I have a big stationary 60 ...
• Range Results for the Sabatti .308 Urban Sniper – Most Impressive November 1, 2018
  In my last post, I discussed mounting the Vortex scope and tailoring a Plano hard case for my .308 Sabatti Urban Sniper.  This last post in the series is about my trip to the range with it.  I went to the range with high hopes – by all accounts it should sub minute of angle, ...
• Installing the Vortex PST Gen 2 Scope and Making the Plano Case for the Sabatti Urban Sniper October 31, 2018
  In my previous post, I gave you my out of the box impressions of the Sabatti .308 Urban Sniper.  In this post, I’ll give you an overview of the scope I went with, mounting it and the Plano hardcase. A Vortex 3-15×44 FFP PST Gen 2 Scope and PMR Rings I contacted Travis Boran, a fellow I ...
• First Impressions of the Sabatti Urban Sniper Out of The Box October 29, 2018
  This is the second post in the series about the .308 caliber Sabatti Urban Sniper.  In the first post, I provided a bit of history about Sabatti and the Italian Firearms Group (IFG) plus why I was intrigued by the rifle and its claim of sub-MOA accuracy with the Multi Radial Rifling (MRR).  In this ...
• The Remarkable Sabatti Urban Sniper – An Affordable Compact Sub-MOA Rifle October 28, 2018
  It’s interesting that a 400+ year old Italian firearms company is relatively unknown in the United States.  In the early 1700s, Mr. Ludovico Sabatti was making flint lock pistols and barrels.  Subsequent generations developed specialized barrel making capabilities as well as other parts.  It’s worth noting this history – they have been making barrels for ...
• Tips on Finding Decent Gunsmithing Tools on eBay October 27, 2018
  One of the challenges when starting out working on guns is building your tool collection.  It’s hard to find cost effective tools so you wind up making do with stuff, creating tools ad hoc, etc.  Interestingly enough, this is where eBay just might help.  While I’m not happy with their anti-gun position, there are a ...
• New SDS 10 Round Magazines At The Range – They Worked Great October 27, 2018
  As you may have read, my first range session with my new SDS Lynx shotgun didn’t go very well when I used new untested 10 round SDS brand magazines.  I posted my findings and David Fillers of SDS immediately reached out to me to address the issue. David told me they did have a few quality ...
• Fitting a Csspecs Steel Magazine To A SDS Lynx 12ga Shotgun October 14, 2018
  Csspecs makes wicked steel magazines for a variety of niche weapons. They make a well respected magazine for 12 gauge Saiga shotguns. That meant it would fit my SDS Lynx 12ga also. I placed my order on their website and within a week receive to magazines that were built like a tank. I had a problem ...
• Slick AR Rifle Shirts and Sweatshirts October 14, 2018
  I like weapons based on the Armalite Rifle (AR) design and have owned a variety of them over the years including a variety of AR-15s from Colt, Rock River, Palmetto State Armory and others plus a whole slew of pistols. I also like having cool T-shirts and hoodies that reflect my interests and opinions about firearms ...
• Tuning SDS 10 Round Magazines for Saiga and Lynx Shotguns October 14, 2018
  Well, Scott, Brooks and I went shooting a few weeks back. I was really excited to take my new SDS Lynx out and I had bought four brand news SDS 10 round magazines that I took out of the wrapper and threw in my range bag. That turned out to be a mistake. The photo ...
• Using Super Lube Grease on a McKay Semi-Auto Uzi October 7, 2018
  In an earlier post, I mentioned that I have switched to using Super Lube Multi-Purpose Grease on my firearms.  One of my test platforms was a semi-auto Uzi I built using a McKay receiver and McKay closed bolt group. To legally build a semi-auto Uzi, you need to run a closed bolt system vs. the original ...
• Switched to Super Lube Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease For All of My Firearms October 7, 2018
  I’m always searching for better lubricants.  Many of the so-called specialty weapons lubes are just marketing hype with some bulk lubricant poured into their container.  In terms of greases, I’ve used quite a few over the years including wheel bearing grease and Tetra Gun Grease.  I wanted to find something effective, non-toxic and less expensive. A ...
• Taming the ‘Wulf – My Adventure With a .50 Beowulf AR Rifle October 6, 2018
  When I first heard of the .50 Beowulf cartridge, it got added to my bucket list immediately. What’s not to like – the ballistics of the .45-70 cartridge in an AR platform that hits like a freight train. Somewhat humorously, I’d also point out that it drops noticeably at 150 yards and like a pumpkin ...
• How to Convert an Aluminum AR-15 5.56/223 Magazine For .50 Beowulf Rounds October 6, 2018
  When Bill Alexander decided to make the .50 Beowulf round, he really got me excited 🙂  The idea of a heavy thumper round in an AR platform really appealed to me so I bought one and one issue that popped up was where to find magazines that were not really expensive. D&H 5.56 30 RD Aluminum ...
