AR-7 Vintage Advert
I’ve always wanted one of these. I’ve seen a half dozen over the years. None made by Armalite and all by a different company. Who the hell is it makes them now? Henry I think? Of course it’s some abomination with a rail on top because its 2025. I looked at one a few monthsContinue reading “AR-7 Vintage Advert”
S&W Model 10-6 Shooting
One man’s loss (divorce) is another man’s gain (cheap gun). This is the case recently with my brother you ran across a friend who is going through the unpleasantness like many, many, many before him. He let my brother have this classic for a price so low you’d cry. This is the classic Model 10-6Continue reading “S&W Model 10-6 Shooting”
BONE TOMAHAWK
Bone Tomahawk is one of my all-time favorite films, horror or otherwise. It features a great cast, and some great acting, and it really establishes the mood in a realistic feeling time period… before it hits you with a gut punch like you have never had before. The only thing I can think of thatContinue reading “BONE TOMAHAWK”
Richard Heinie Full House Custom Colt — 1911 Comp Gun — Miami Vice Style
This early Richard Heinie Custom Colt, # RH24, was first built in 1979, then customized further in 1980. Richard then got the gun back in a trade and fit a full profile comp to it in the late 80s.

The Guest
Every once in a while a movie will come along that combines and distills down everything I love in movies. Violence, action, synthwave soundtrack, neon lighting, 1980s movie cliches. All that shit. The Guest is one of those movies. Adam Wingard directed this absolute classic masterclass long before he was handed the reins to Godzilla.Continue reading “The Guest”

Upgrade 2018
Back in 2018, an awesome film from Blumhouse just slipped out. Upgrade is a cyberpunk revenge thriller that is very violent and ultra-dark. The story is set in the near future, where humanity is getting into Ghost In The Shell territory with cybernetic upgrades, a Panopticon society, and enough to technology to make Ted KContinue reading “Upgrade 2018”

Maniac
Oh boy. It’s that time. Time to talk about the kind of horror films that I really love, but others argue have no redeeming value at all. Films that makes you feel like you should take a shower after watching. I’d argue that typical NPC smooth-brain thinking is what keeps people away from these movies.Continue reading “Maniac”
