Where do I even start with the Hekate silencer review? It's taken longer to get done that I expected, in part because CGS silencers are unlike pretty much everything else out there. The discovery phase required learning some brand new things - well, new to me and a...
Muzzle Devices, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!
Choosing which muzzle device to attach to your centerfire rifle is one of the most critical yet least understood aspects of a rifle build. Mired in pseudo-science, hyperbole, and masterful marketing, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. Truth is,...
I Shot a $10,000 Rifle Today (and some other cool guns, too!)
When you started getting interested in guns, what was it that grabbed you? I was a kid and the idea of how they worked, their actions, their histories, their looks all appealed to me. Not to mention that pulling triggers was and remains a good time. Dad had a...
Banshee vs. Custom Build? Which 300BLK AR Pistol Would You Pick? Video!
Personally, I think the CMMG Banshee AR Pistol design is genius. Why? Because it copies a design I used to build my own 300 Blackout AR pistol a year or so ago! The question is, did they improve on what I’m already pretty happy with? The truth is I’m not alone in my...
I’ve Shot The Future and Today It’s Closer Than You Think (Hopefully!) – the Integrally Suppressed AR
Ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky has often been quoted as saying, “Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been” to secure future success. Of course his future would have been seconds away while we’re talking short term and long term shooting and hunting. I...
The Integrally Suppressed Ruger Precision Rifle We All Want (with videos!)
Ever play the “What If” game of firearms? Try this: What if you could get a precision rifle that was affordable and integrally suppressed? That’s been a unicorn proposition, but now it’s a reality. Witt Machine & Tool has partnered with Colorado’s Machine Gun...
Dead Air Wolverine – Suppressing the AK
The choice of communists and dictators worldwide, the AK47 and AK74 are simultaneously lauded, hated or just overlooked, but almost never are they suppressed in the West. Until now, that is. I’ve just returned from a trip to the Dead Air Armament Utah headquarters...
Guns, Gear, SHOT Show and the Year 2016
I spent all of last week in Las Vegas. Normally, I’d rather be in the mountains somewhere, or chasing wild hogs across Texas wheat fields. But last week was the annual Shooting, Hunting, Outdoors Trade Show, aka, SHOT Show. Or just SHOT. 64,000 people showed up this...
Rugged Suppressors Surge 762 Review – 5.56 / 300 Blackout / 300 Win Mag
Rugged Suppressors may be a new name in the sea of silencer companies making a splash in 2015, but their roots are deep. President and Surge 762 designer Henry Grahm owned SWR Suppressors years ago when I first ran across him. So when my friends at King’s Arsenal...
No Tax Stamp SBR in 300 Blackout? Kind of – the Tactical Solutions TSAR
Pick a silencer, any silencer, and add it your typical 300 Blackout AR-15. What you end up with is an overly long platform. Buy a $200 NFA tax stamp and you can run a shorter barrel to bring the overall length back down to something familiar. But what if you could...
