Chinese Small Arms from the 7th Beijing Police Equipment Expo
I recently did a TFB write-up on the inner working of the Chinese QBZ-95 bullpup. That piece plus my RS Regulate AK optic mounts and the new QBZ-95 optic articles got translated into Chinese and posted in some Mainland website as soon as they were up on TFB. That site didn’t bothered even put a link-back to the […]

LuckyGunner: How to Reload a Revolver

“Frictionless” Trigger for AR-15 Now Available for Pre-Order
I, for one, am excited to see the previously mundane feature on modern sporting rifles getting a real boost. Companies like Geissele and Timney have and continue to do a great job at perfecting existing technology. Now, companies like HiperFire and now TriggerTech are re-thinking the fundamentals of how the trigger itself can operate. TriggerTech’s […]

How the M-16 3-Round Burst Works
