Midway Gunsmithing: How to Jewel A Bolt Carrier
Larry Potterfield and his gang at Midway just get to have all the fun. In this video, he showcases how to jewel a bolt for a bolt-action (or really anything) rifle. While the video showcases everything in super-speed and does not showcase the sweat and time, it has a solid break-down of the technique. The […]

Little Girl Rides A Belt Fed Machine Gun
This little girl is firing a belt fed machine gun and gets pushed back a little bit. Other than the lack of eye and ear protection it seems rather safe. Unlike other mishaps with young children operating automatic weapons, the weight of this machine gun keeps it pointed down range. Can anyone identify what language […]

The Guns Of John Pedersen At RIA
My favorite firearms designer of all time is James Paris Lee, because of his sheer inventiveness and forward-thinking edge that was still grounded in what was practical at the time. My second-favorite firearms designer is David Marshall Williams, because he was totally mad, with a bio that reads like it was ripped straight from a film script […]

SureFire Warden Blast Regulator
SureFire posted a sneak peak of their new “Warden” blast regulator at the NRA Show on their Facebook page. It looks like it works much like the other blast shrouds on the market which help divert the blast and concussion forward and away from the shooter and shooters to the sides.
