Ok guys, as promised. Here's my heavy 7.62x39 load development video! VIDEO LINK A kickback link to this thread will be posted in the details section of the video.

I got this very well used and roughed up Matech BUIS from a seller on ebay for $29, shipping included. It looked worse in the pictures than it did upon arrival, so refurbishing it didn't end up being as in depth as I was anticipating. It was a very worthwhile project because the sight ended up...

There's still 10 days left to enter! There's no prizes, but you do get bragging rights of being the best shot. It's pretty simple, go to http://welikeshooting.com/shootout/ , download and print out the target, set up 7 yards away and take 5 shots. Upload a video to youtube or a picture to...

This silencer is quiet. How quiet? I've shot pellet guns that were just as loud, if not louder. On a semi-auto, it's great. On a bolt action you hear the firing pin getting struck, a puff, and the impact of the bullet in the ground. This was just some shooting off the back porch in a rural area...

>BTW if you squeeze the bottom sides of the mag when removing the OEM baseplates they come off much easier. Ahhhhhhh. Thanks for the tip, I'll remember that next time!

I love my glock 17, but I HATE how the magazines load that odd number of rounds that leaves leftovers in the box afterwards. I searched amazon.com to see if anything came up, and lo and behold, Pearce grips came up. Though that last round is quite a pain to load, I am VERY pleased with the...

I know it's a little long, but doing a fix like this requires dealing with a few variables that take time to test out. This Franken-AR 40rnd magazine is taking two magazines that, individually, suck outright, and turns them into a single magazine that actually kicks ass. Sure, you could save...

So when I went by to pick up my Christmas gift at my favorite FFL, I asked one of the owners, Steve, if we could go in the back and show me what projects they've got going on back in the lab. All cool stuff, and never fails to disappoint. He's become quite the kydex artist and, as always, the...

' They are good for only one thing, playing with the cats.' Or in my case, it'll be the dogs. I like to dink around with the low price stuff because every once in a while you're able to find a diamond in the rough. I got my money back, so I'm not too upset. I will definitely be looking at...

I was looking for an 'affordable' laser to put on my pistol. Looking at the design of this particular model (which allows a light to be mounted underneath it), it was ergonomically appealing and a cheap find on Amazon. Unfortunately, the mechanics of the design make it so that there is no way it...

Yeah walkalong, I was sort of kicking myself for not waiting till cyber monday, but I felt the deal was good enough and I don't get out to shoot more than once a month and maybe I'll shoot 100 rounds, so this could work ok for me. Worst case, if the bolt breaks, I can always buy just the bolt to...

From the website: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/upper-parts/bolt-carrier-groups/8620-bolt-carrier-group.html Says the bolt is 8620, doesn't say what the rest of the carrier is made out of.

I saw a great deal on Palmetto State Armory's web page ($97 delivered) and jumped on it for this. Seeing how it's my first one, I wanted to take it down and see how the bolt works. Looks like a great quality component. VIDEO LINK

Lets face it, there are a lot of magazines that suck out there. Some manufacturers who are notorious can actually make decent ones from time to time, but often we are left with a busted or non-functioning magazine with no customer support. The long lesson is spend the extra $3 for a good one...

No problem. Like I said, this is our reviewer's initial impression and is subject to change upon further inspection
