It’s not very often that you get the privilege of seeing a film that is 100 percent the creator’s vision, without interference from producers or studios.

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.

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.
