Now here is a call back to the good old days.
The Idiocy of the “Pinned & Welded” Barrel
Today we have a post shared from Sunshine Shooter . ‘Idiocy’ may be a strong word, but clickbait gonna clickbait. Let’s move on. I was first introduced to the idea of a pinned & welded AR barrel in about 2011. NFA laws being what they are, a rifle has to have a barrel of 16″+Continue reading “The Idiocy of the “Pinned & Welded” Barrel”
Cocaine Bear
Sigh… so much potential. That is all I could think of when the movie wrapped up. A high concept, an R-rating, all you need to make a classic nature-run-amok exploitation B-movie.

The slot for the wedge has been cut, so it allows a littleContinue reading “M1860 Colt”

The only cosmetic difference between these and the ones issued from the 60s through the 90s is the inclusion of barrel lacing rather than traditional eyelets. –Thats not exactlyContinue reading “McRae Footwear Jungleboots”
The Ultimate Hi-power?
Today’s post comes from our pals over at progunmillennial In my opinion, new production versions of classic cars are just about the coolest thing on four wheels. Classic looks with modern technology are a powerful combination. Cars like the Morgan +6, the Caterham R500, and the Singer 911 (I’d also include the Weismann GT toContinue reading “The Ultimate Hi-power?”
