I am having a heck of time reviewing the Ruger PC Carbine. Sub zero weather, snow storms and an errant HTML table edit that credited the little rifle with Martian origins, an alphabetically nomenclature trigger and a trigger guard fabricated from exotic aircraft aluminum. The cause could have been old […]

I am not a hat guy. My Dad spent too much time hiding his thinning cuoio capelluto, first by always wearing a hat then as a mature man, growing and weaving his hair into a swirling comb-over that under the influence of a stiff breeze took on an almost hypnotic […]

Time was spent getting familiar with the subject rifle before handloading. What is an “unfamiliar” firearm? Any firearm that is not owned, handloaded for and shot on a regular basis.

It is always beneficial to have access to firearms before they are released, if an article is to appear when they are released. Hardware can be tried tested and tortured at a leisurely pace, without much chance of a flaw going unnoticed. With time for assessment, product coverage isn’t reduced […]
