I've tested a number of them and I've come to the conclusion that without a doubt the best built, most reliable, most simple 9mm carbine on the market is the CZ Scorpion. Magazines are readily available and affordable. The guns are accurate and built like tanks. The aftermarket community has...
I've done fairly extensive testing of the Ultimak rail and if you plan to use your rifle a lot, you might want to find another option for mounting a RDS.
On a 7.63x39 rifle in the summer (ambient temp around 80 degrees) it takes 4-5 magazines fired in fairly quick succession to heat either a...
If an Afghani with hand tools in a shack can make entire rifles and pistols I most certainly can make an AR15 from an 80% lower. It might take me a couple tries, but it's not all that difficult. To say it can't be done is to be dead nuts wrong. It's done all the time by people and I've seen many...
Get a quality AR15 like a BCM and you won't have any reliability issues. Heck, you'll find it will run quite well in extremely adverse conditions. Colt and FN, same story. Budget AR's aren't such a good value, IMHO. Buy once, cry once and have a rifle that will last you a lifetime...
I've tested many RDS's fairly extensively. Here's a list of sights that work well for their price point in no particular order.
1) Hi-Lux B-Dot
2) Vortex SPARC
3) TRS-25
4) Trijicon MRO (there is a caveat)
5) Aimpoint Pro
6) Meprolight Tru-Dot
Some are more expensive than others, but...
Thanks to all that mention the channel, your support is greatly appreciated. If you guys are ever in Valpo, come on by Copper Custom and check out the store. I have a studio in the back where I keep most of the guns featured on the channel if you want to check them out. Again, thanks for all the...
All you guys have to do is file a Form 1. When it comes back approved, do the conversion yourself. If you have a manufacturer do it, they will have to do the work then transfer it to you on a Form 4. Keep in mind you can't file a Form 1 in your name (or Trust or Corp) then take it to a...
Honestly, I find leaving an innocent person rotting in a cell for life, being raped, beaten, caged like an animal, to be far less humane than being executed. Once all the appeals are exhausted, I would rather be put to sleep that to live a lifetime of seemingly endless Hell. There is no right...
I hope to shoot the video in the next couple of days. Thanks for all the help. Chances are, I'll want to buy another 3-4 boxes of the stuff to just to keep around for future videos.
The Army has been trying to find a replacement for the M16 for decades. Anyone remember the XM-8 debacle? That's just one of several examples including the most recent non-starter attempt.
I've tried to figure out why the Army spends millions of dollars conducting these dog and pony shows only...
I would be grateful to get my hands on a couple of boxes for ballistics gel testing and penetration testing (for video). What's the best way to get you payment? Thanks a bunch.
Thanks, Tombs.
I will of course test the commercial ammo that's available but I also what to show what's available for the defensive market. If I don't, I will get pounced by the 5.7 crowd as having not tested purpose built defensive loads and they'll say no one in their right mind would carry...
I need to find some good commerical 5.7x28mm ammo for testing in ballistics gel. I've been trying to find some Elite Ammo loads but they're perpetually out of stock. Is there anyone else that makes a good defensive load that's actually for sale somewhere?
