    I know i said I would never,(PICS UP!!!)

    Yeppers.... I normally keep them down but up for the photo. Those are there in case something happens to the EoTech. I learned as a Marine to never completely trust anything that operates on batteries. The pop-ups fit tight on the rails and seem to be solid puppies. I looked at others...

    I know i said I would never,(PICS UP!!!)

    This is my base AR. It is an Olympic Multi meaning it is meant for 5.56 or 223. Something alot of folks miss when buying an AR. As you can see I have changed out the furniture with MagPul and I am using Dark Earth so that in reaching into the safe in a hurry I know which rifle is mine and...

    My Wifes New Toy......

    Having a short wife and her desire to own a black rifle takes in some thought. I started out with a MagTech magnesium alloy lower and then an E.R. Shaw 11.5 inch pistol upper on it AFTER we extended the barrel with a 5.5 inch flash suppressor. A1 style triangle forehand with skate board tape...

    Top Five All Around Sporting Cartridges

    Down here in the SW not a lot of need for the 375H&H altho I do know a couple people who own them. The 30-30 is the prime rifle for hunting in our thick brush, but the 270 is right behind it along with the .308. The 30-06 is still very much around but for our smaller deer here, it is not...

    41 Rem. Mag. Loads

    I use 2400 in my 3 41Mags... a 57, 657 snubby, and my 10 inch Contender. I've recently switched to 2400 in my 500 S&W over H110... burns cleaner and better IMHO.

    AR-15 shortage is over

    I picked up an Olympic Arms A4 a couple weeks ago at my local WalMart for $654.00, which included taxes. Not sure we will see the prices return to where they were this time last year, but they will be coming down. And I have no pity for those who paid double or triple for them during the...

    Anyone use an ankle holster?

    I was talking with Lou Alessi one afternoon and he commented that one thing about an ankle hoster that he really liked was that you could get to the firearm while driving a car, unlike an IWB or belt holster. He traveled across the country carrying that way. In his opinion, while driving there...

    Anyone use an ankle holster?

    I have an Alessi ankle holster for a Colt Mustang. It also fits my Llama Mirco. All leather, no elastic to stretch and walk down the ankle. Have worn it for hours without a problem. A bit pricie, but worth the price. Remember...... if you are right handed, you want to wear the firearm on...

    The only folks in the government that can benefit from buying components is the military marksmanship units for their match ammo which they load themselves. The military snipers who have all their ammo loaded by the marksmanship units. And possibily the HRT units of various federal law...
