It’s a hard thing to accept, but shooters in rights-restrictive states simply cannot own (or will not be able to own) semi-auto modern sporting rifles, mainly those based on the AR-15 design. But they can usually own manually-operated actions, such as those manufactured by Uintah Precision. Uintah Precision produces bolt-action, precision upper receivers for AR … Read more
By Miguel A. Faria, M.D. What are “assault weapons” and why are they being demonized? To begin with, the appellation “assault weapon” is a misnomer, a disparaging political label. It was invented by Josh Sugarmann, a media-lionized gun control advocate, as a political tool to demonize semi-automatic firearms that frequently have a military appearance, but … Read more
I’m not sure when Battle Belts came back in fashion, but I remember when I first saw widespread use of them. On my first deployment, we went from the massive Modular Tactical Vest to much smaller Eagle Plate Carriers. Less room meant less MOLLE. It wasn’t long before we started removing the belt from our … Read more
Have you ever just looked at a gun and fell in love with its looks? That’s kind of how I feel about the RPTR rail on my SCR based rifle. It’s not a true SCR rifle, just an SCR lower with a homebrew upper. The sleek lines and general oddball nature of the build make … Read more

Everyday Americans love their stock car racing almost as much as baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and their Bibles. NASCAR, however, in their own words, has made a “gradual shift” over the years and … Read more
Calling the AR market crowded is a colossal understatement. America’s rifle is undoubtedly the most popular rifle on the market. It can admittedly get a bit boring to talk AR, but occasionally something cool pops up. A couple of years ago I got my hands a Garrow Arms .17 HMR upper receiver. Not only is … Read more
We warned about the inherent danger of waving the regulatory wand when Trump first started talking about banning bump stocks…a product that had already been declared legal by the Obama-era ATF. Now, inevitably, we have to deal with this. And it probably won’t be the last time this argument is made. A rifle equipped with … Read more
By NRA-ILA Last Sunday, the “news” program 60 Minutes ran a story it called “What makes the AR-15 style rifle the weapon of choice for mass shooters?” The producer of the piece, Ashley Velie, claimed the intent was to present a story that was “completely apolitical.” From the very outset, however, starting with the inflammatory … Read more
It’s summer, when network TV ratings traditionally dip. Add to that the fact that we’re heading into a campaign year (the first Democrat presidential debates take place this week), so the producers of CBS’s 60 Minutes decided yesterday was the perfect time to re-run a segment on why AR-15 rifles are unusually deadly and the … Read more
Dick’s CEO Ed Stack, who took over his father’s company, has embraced virtue-signaling as a marketing strategy. Ed’s leadership hasn’t gone well for him, his company or shareholders.
