    Kimber K6 lightweight announced

    I suppose they added the flutes for weight savings but I'm kinda surprised that they didn't keep the hexagonal cylinder for branding reasons. It's kinda been the trademark look in my minds eye for the Kimber revolvers

    A new revolver maker enters... Henry

    It actually looks better in the video. Still would have preferred that they tapered the barrel for the ejection rod instead of the flat milled under the barrel but it's got a sort of charm

    A new revolver maker enters... Henry

    I like the looks of everything except the big flat milled under the barrel for the ejection rod. That looks off to me. The $900 MSRP is crawling around in my brain though. Like the idea of more wheely gun manufacturers instead of the #th polymer striker fired sub compact 9mm. But a grand is a...

    BKF AR barrels

    Looks like a good deal to me. Kinda poking around the website it looks like the people running it might have overextended themselves cause there's a lot of closeout firesale prices but no way to be certain.

    Guns to make you cringe

    It looks like someone made a single shot sbs out of one of those sears bolt action shotguns but like meth

    First semi auto 22LR

    For my money I'd be happy with the savage 64. It's a fine little firearm, in my experience and if the Ruger is that much harder to find and justify I'd say go for it.

    Guns to make you cringe

    1) is that suppressor made of copper pipe? 2) did it even sort of work?

    Fantasy rifles

    I literally cannot imagine that stock is anywhere near comfortable

    Fantasy rifles

    Small carbines for the 30 sc. Would be a fun experiment. Or maybe a tacticool lever in 5.7 for a suppressor host range toy? I do like the idea of a .327 rook rifle. If I were one of those more money than sense people a pretty little engraved falling block would be a nifty thing to commission.

    Wood and Blued Steel 9mm Carbine? - Henry Homesteader

    I think the sights on the current Ruger is to accommodate the takedown barrel and on this firearm it seems like a mixture of old school throwback style and to give you real estate for an optic of some flavor. I think they should have gone full bore and used buckhorn sights. It's not like a...

    BATFE - Factoring Criteria for Firearms With Attached “Stabilizing Braces”

    I'm afraid I don't see a takings claim here. The braces still aren't illegal in and of themselves you can do a few things besides destroy them. If you wanted to sell it on down the road you could you could convert the pistol into a rifle put the brace on a different rifle register it on the nfa...

    another great video on the internals of RIA5.0

    Oooooohhhhh that's what that itchy feeling inside my brain was everytime I saw this. They should have leaned into it a little bit and offered a compensated slide version then.

    Wood and Blued Steel 9mm Carbine? - Henry Homesteader

    It looks pretty neat. I think you would be paying a little bit of a premium for the Henry name and maybe the wood furniture but looks nice. I personally would have preferred a little bit of a taper on the forend and the top of the receiver where it meets the barrel to make it look a little more...

    New Offering from RIA

    Off the patent it looks like it's a short recoil with a falling locking block at the end of the barrel and maybe the guide rod helps actuate it. Not 100% on that though trying to parse the drawing and the engineering word gumbo on my phone is giving me a headache, I'm tapping out and going to...

    Cool Cartridge at the Range Today

    I know I'm probably wrong and quite possibly insane but those things look weird for cartridges almost like they were turned on a lathe. Also that huge rim looks like it should make extraction a snap.

    Burris FastFire battery installation

    Yeah it's a little bit of a pain, it's also one of those things where there's a just right screwdriver and anything else is going to give you more problems than it's worth.

    Micrometer suggestions

    I did get a 0-1" micrometer Mitutoyo that I purchased and have a 6" Mitutoyo calipers that is marked SAM that I uhh... acquired in a completely above board manner, that as far as I can tell and after thoroughly rinsing the gunk out of it seems to be about as accurate as I could ask a set of...

    Micrometer suggestions

    I've just been verifying it by going to the layout room to use the Guage blocks. That or a handful of coins, makes for decent practice. I drew up a chart for the American coins and unless it's been in circulation since the eighties or you don't measure on the exact rim they are really...

    Red Flag Confiscation

    I hesitate to point this out, and hopefully this isn't taken as an offence but kind of a big portion of policing relies on exactly that. They already have legal pathways to take your property and enter your home.

    What Would Stoner Do?

    I like the concept overall but I'm still not sold on the carbon fiber handguard there's a "budget" version with a super low weight aluminum handguard that seems pretty nice to me but you lose out on all the ambi controls and the jo silent buffer neat thought experiment and cool to see it result...
