Training Tips for the AK-47
By our pal The New Rifleman In the past few years, there have been a growing number of American gun owners who have become interested in the AK series of rifles. Since we have our own domestic rifle, the AR series, there is a relative lack of good training materials on the AK. Here, we’dContinue reading “Training Tips for the AK-47”
Colt M4 Data Rights, the M4 Product Improvement Program, and the Failed Individual Carbine Competition
Contrary to popular misconception, the US Department of Defense (DOD) does not own the technical data package (TDP) for either the M4 carbine or its parent, the M16 rifle. In June 1967, in its role as the DOD’s designated procurement agency, the US Army purchased a license from Colt for the TDP and the rightsContinue reading “Colt M4 Data Rights, the M4 Product Improvement Program, and the Failed Individual Carbine Competition”
Revolver Grip 1911
From pistol_purview Here’s a prewar (1930) custom 1911 (with a revolver grip and two pound trigger) made by Los Angeles gunsmith Archibald Brinkerhoff, who died shortly after WWII. Nobody knows how many he made, but there are only 3 known of in existence. This is in my opinion this is the most beautiful 1911 everContinue reading “Revolver Grip 1911”

Colt CR6762
I am about a month late getting my “new” Colt CR6762 7.62X39mm carbine to the range. During my military career I fired numerous Soviet Bloc, Chinese and European variants of the AK/RPK family which all had average accuracy at best. I have heard great things about the accuracy of 7.62x39mm out of the Colt barrelContinue reading “Colt CR6762”
Thoughts On The M1911..Again.
The amount of people on the web ready to tell you how unreliable the 1911 is, may approach the population of China or India. Even some bigger name instructors wishing to get more attention by saying things controversial blather on about it even when they really do not know as much about it as theyContinue reading “Thoughts On The M1911..Again.”
