I don’t have much to say about this. I just wanted to share my good fortune. I got lucky and was in the right place at the right time to get this Nam era, near mint E-tool and M67 cover. This was the later war issued E-tool that folds 3 times and stores in theContinue reading “Vietnam M-67 E-Tool & Cover”

Shotgun (1970s)
I’m sorry but I love these vintage training videos on tactical use of firearms. We have came so far.
The Innovative Glock in 1991
By Luis Valdes Shooters coming of age today don’t understand how good they have it. In 1991, the gun industry was to a degree a stagnant, faltering, lethargic beast that it couldn’t innovate its way out of a wet paper bag. Designs were moving forward on a snail’s pace. Yes, there was the jump fromContinue reading “The Innovative Glock in 1991”

Three Important Phases of the Revolver-Automatic Transition
By Kevin O’Brien One advantage you can get from reading out-of-date books is insight to what was current thinking many years ago. Looking over L.R. Wallack’s American Pistol and Revolver Design and Performance from 1978 (one of a series of four books Wallack produced beginning in the seventies: Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol & Revolver, and a combined sporting arms Design andContinue reading “Three Important Phases of the Revolver-Automatic Transition”
COBRA (1986)

Cobra is about asContinue reading “COBRA (1986)”
Tisa M1911A1 Review

By Scott Dee The Mann Accuracy Device. I’m not sure how to introduce these peculiaralmost-rifles. Let’s start with the basics. For most of the shots you take with a rifle,you, the ‘squishy human component,’ are responsible for much of the lost accuracy.

M16 Top Sling Adapter
These things are pretty common and have been around since the Vietnam war but the funny thing is I have never seen on with my own eyes. Speak up on the comments if you used one in the Army or have one.
Custom Model 75 Winchester
Karl has a real beauty of a rimfire. The M75 was done over my a real master. A more economy version of the nearly perfect Model 52, the M75 will rarely let you down even if its not as refined. This one is pretty damned refined though.
