• Stribog SP9A1 Range Results And My Observations – Why I like it! October 16, 2022
  In the last post, I told you a little bit about the Stribog and the modifications I made . I took it to the range twice over the summer and ran about 400-500 rounds through it flawlessly – really. So let’s talk about the details. Prepping to go to ...
• What is a Stribog? It’s currently my favorite pistol caliber carbine October 11, 2022
  I do a lot of reading and a few years ago I read about a new pistol caliber carbine (PCC) called a “Stribog” by Grand Power. It was a blocky looking thing but it was getting good reviews. The more I read, the more positive real-world reviews I encountered. Finally, in a ...
• Why Does A Plow Truck Need Ballast And How Can You Easily Build A Ballast Box? October 6, 2022
  Ok, quick post today. I’m getting ready for Winter here in Michigan and that includes getting my 2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman and 8′ Western Pro Plow 2 ready. Which, by the way, is why you are seeing a bunch of truck posts vs. firearm posts right now. At any rate, last year ...
• Replaced the Under-Powered OEM Battery In My 2021 Ram 2500 With an Interstate AGM To Avoid Load Shedding When Snow Plowing October 5, 2022
  My one big disappointment with my 2021 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi is it’s lack of sufficient electrical power to run my Western Pro Plow 2 snow plow and the heater on full – yeah, that combo has issues. My truck came with the Snow Chief option package that was supposed to make ...
• Adding a LED Light Bar and Amber LED Fog Light Behind The Grill Of a 2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman – Stealth Lighting On a Budget September 28, 2022
  In September 2021, I bought my first new truck – a 2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman. Something about it being straight forward without a ton of bells and whistles appealed to me and I managed to buy it – I’ll be making payments for four more years 🙂 At any rate, there were a ...
• Are You Looking For A Rifle Sling That Has Great Quality And Is Affordable? S2Delta 2-Point Modular Slings Are Good To Go September 5, 2022
  A good sling for a rifle is really worth it if you plan on carrying them around much. The challenge can be finding one that is quality made that doesnb’t break the bank in terms of cost. Over the past few years, I’ve found a vendor that makes their slings in the USA ...
• Are You Looking For A Lubricant That Performs Better Than CLP? Check Out Kentuckiana Gun Works – Enhanced Reliability Oil August 28, 2022
  So I stopped in to talk to Scott Igert, my good friend who owns Michigan Gun Exchange, a few weeks back. Scott told me about a new gun oil that he had samples of that the maker had handed him directly and that I ought to take a look at it. I kind ...
• PSA AR Build Kits Are Affordable and Fun To Build August 28, 2022
  I’ve pointed thius out before – I really enjoy building firearms. I don’t have the hardcore machinist skills to build one from scratch – I wish I could though – but I do enjoy assembling and tinkering plus I don’t mind some fitting / fabricating. With this in mind, I have a ...
• Will Ammunition Prices Keep Dropping? August 14, 2022
  The short answer is “yes” and I think the forecast bears some explaining. First, there was massive demand due to civil unrest and Biden winning the presidency making people fearful of more gun control via regulations and executive orders. Second, there was a general concern about COVID and self-defense due to various “defund ...
• Use a Wheeler Engineering Green Laser Bore Sight To Get Your Scope or Optic Range Ready August 13, 2022
  When you buy a scope/optic and mount it on your rifle or pistol, it may relatively be close to where the actual bullet will hit the target or it may be a mile off. This applies just as much to dot optics as well as scopes with magnification. First off, this is why ...
• How to level a scope reticle August 13, 2022
  First off, I better explain that a recticle is the formal name for the cross-hairs or series of fine lines that are inside a scope that you use to aim with. There are a ton of different ones out there and one thing you want to do is to get them level with the ...
• PSA Has A Really Good Deal On 36″ Black Tactical Rifle Cases August 12, 2022
  Palmetto State Armory has a lot of good deals on a variety of firearms and accessories. One that I like is their 36″ rifle soft sided rifle case. It follows the trend of tactical bags having a million pockets, straps and even shoulder straps. I have a few of them and use ...
• Do You Want A Remarkable Two Stage Trigger For Your AR That Doesn’t Cost a Fortune? August 10, 2022
  I appreciate a good trigger – in firearms in general and definitely in ARs. To me, this usually means a two-stage trigger that doesn’t have a heavy pull and I can feel the second stage starting to engage with a relatively clean break. I can tolerate military heavy triggers (5-8 pounds usually ...
• PSA Has Evolved Their AK Offerings Considerably – Taking A Close Look At A GF5 August 3, 2022
  When I first started buying from Palmetto State Armory (PSA) maybe 10+ years ago, they were a source for cheap but decent AR parts plus other brands of parts, like Magpul, and ammunition. If you compare what PSA is today to way back when, they have achieved a lot – most folks don’t know that ...
• How To Rebuild A Residential Diving Board July 17, 2022
  Have you ever been stuck between a rock and a hard place because you need to get something done but a vendor fumbles the ball … badly?  That happened to me recently.  We have a home made in the 70s and the pool is the same.  While we have replaced the liner a number of ...
• Fitting A Quick Takedown Pin To A Kalashnikov USA KP-9 July 16, 2022
  Since Kalashinkov USA introduced the KP-9, I’ve had a handful of guys ask me to make a quick takedown pin for it. Well, it turns out it is a unique size and the hinge pin would need to be around 3.75mm – smaller than what any of my vendors could reliably hit. My ...
• There Is A Great Counter Top Ice Maker Available That Is Very Affordable On Amazon July 14, 2022
  We have an expensive Whirlpool fridge that had (past tense) an ice maker built into the door. It managed to work until its warranty expired and then it stopped. It turns out those things are a known problem and expensive to replace (over $1,000). Well, the chilled filter water still worked so I ...
• My Galil Ace .308 DMR July 12, 2022
  Okay, I wrote about Galil Ace .308 Pistol some years back and it got sold at some point to fund other projects. However, when I sell firearms it’s not that there was any problem – like tons of other projects, I finished it, learned from it, got bored of it and sold it … ...
• The GUTA RV Tire Pressure Monitoring System Is Great For Vehicles That Lack Real Time Monitoring June 7, 2022
  We had a 2,200 mile trip planned expensive things are with a 2016 Ford Transit 150 that had six year-old tires on it – yeah, they need to be replaced but money is tight with inflation thanks to the politicians. The tread was definitely above the wear bars but the outer layer of rubber ...
• PSA Has A Great Deal On RIA 52009 HC 16 Round 10mm Pistols Going On – You Better Not Wait If You Want One May 23, 2022
  I haven’t seen these at this price in the last few years – PSA has them for $649.99. I suspect they will sell fast at that price. I have one of these 52009 Ultra HC pistols and it is rock solid. Magazine customers tell me the same thing. If you’re looking for ...
