Why Stick It Out in the United States Instead of Expatriating?

A reader prompted me to blog action recently by posing this question to us: I’m an engineering student, have read Atlas Shrugged, and agree with the majority of Rand’s principles. My question is, why did you elect to shrug rather

See Through Optics Mount for M1A SOCOM

The Springfield SOCOM stock is a great compact and light-weight M1A/M14 setup. I recently built an M14 from a Fulton Armory receiver, Criterion barrel, and USGI parts kit from CMP. I purchased a used SOCOM 16 stock (or Scout stock)

Review: GG&G Quick Detach Tall Night Mount For The PVS-14

What good is a PVS-14 without a sturdy weapon mount? After quite a bit of research, somehow I ended up back at the same manufacturer I always end up with – GG&G of Arizona. I’ve yet to have a product

Review: KCI AR-15 100 Round Drum Magazine

I’ve tinkered with AR-15s for about 20 years, including both semi and fully automatic. I always wanted a Beta Magazine for my registered receiver M4, but they were insanely priced during the Assault Weapon Ban and didn’t go down too
