A classic post from Howard from the old site. A friend of mine who collects Mosin-Nagants purchased a sniper mosin a while ago. To get into reloading cheap, he picked up a Lee Loader in 7.62x54R.

The Tactical Link Gen2 PRM Review
A few weeks ago, Tactical Link graciously sent me one of their PRM sling mount. This is the 2nd gen of the rail mounted sling mounting point for QD sling swivels. I opted for the coyote PRM since my gun is a FDE anodized Colt 6940. I was very excited to get this mount andContinue reading “The Tactical Link Gen2 PRM Review”

BREAKTHROUGH BORE CLEANER
This will basically be a “part 1″ of a more longer lasting test period. Cleaning solvent is one of those things it takes a long time and a lot of different things to really evaluate to my satisfaction. I wanted to talk about it and my first thoughts on it as sort of a kickContinue reading “BREAKTHROUGH BORE CLEANER”
A Look At Buying Military Bolt Action Rifles PART 1

Stupid Sayings: “I’d Rather be Lucky Than Good”

I remember my dad saying this when I was younger, and I heard Jocko Willink say it on a recent podcast. Am I missing something?

The Model 70 Laredo
Back in the early 90s, Winchester started making an action that very closely resembled the classic much loved, pre 64 Model 70 action of legend. This was an immediate hit with riflemen with taste.

Submitted by Gun Owners of America, Last summer, weak Republicans teamed up with Anti-Gun Democrats to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

More On Colt Monolithic Upper History
Four years ago I did the “10 years of the Colt 6940” post and then a few days after realized I had left out some pretty neat stuff from the history of the Colt monolithic uppers. Over the last 10 years there was some other monolithic upper rifles and carbines from colt in some variantsContinue reading “More On Colt Monolithic Upper History”
