Review: The Gun Rights War-Author - Neal Knox, Compiled and Annotated by Chris Knox
It is ironic to be reading a book that underscores serious threats to our Constitutional rights, at the same moment congress and the executive branch of government are engaging the American people at a level of contempt and disrespect that is typically reserved for an enemy. Perhaps, in time, The […] [Read More]
Building a Simple Barrel Cool Down Box-I was working in the lab, late one night...*
I think most firearm enthusiasts enjoy building things. A pile of spare parts and components, a soldering iron and some untested assumptions can result in some pretty interesting, semi-useful equipment. The following represents such a prototype project, complete with mistakes, imperfections and “Too bad I didn’t think of this sooner” […] [Read More]
Remington's Model 750 - Part I-As Maine as... Maine
I like Maine. Even with Spring not far off, it’s cold and wet, with patches of snow and promise of lots more in the weather forecast. This morning my wife and I poured our cups of wake up coffee and watched the resident flock of cranky turkeys successfully drive off […] [Read More]
Hornady's Superformance... Califragilisticexpialidocious
When it comes to product reviews, organizational hype and press releases don’t really matter. We put products on the bench, or take them to the range, and make our own assessments.

A Custom Rifle Built With Porpoise...Err Purpose - Part II-Factory, Superformance and Handloaded Ammo
Without input, consensus, or even discussion – I ordered, and had delivered to family in California, food from the Salt Lick Bar-B-Que in Round Rock, Texas; smoked brisket, a couple of rings of hill country sausage, a couple of racks of ribs, and turkey breasts. If you’ve ever eaten at […] [Read More]
A Custom Rifle Built With Porpoise...Err Purpose - Part I-From the prodigious folks at Wild West Guns..

Which is why, beyond a fundamental performance wring out of a firearm for accuracy and reliability, firearm modifications should be closely scrutinized as they always tell a lot about […] [Read More]
I Am Not Lazy... Well, maybe just a little.
I’ve been on the road for a few weeks and now, with the stress of a ton of partially completed projects waiting for me at the shop, I’m on my way to the Shot Show. Sort of like being off the see the Wizard… only without the flying monkeys. […] [Read More]
CZ-USA's CZ 75 P-07 Duty-Well made and it isn't Glock ugly!
If there is one thing I believe I bring to this gun writer’s game, it’s insight and detail. For example, one of the first things I noticed about the CZ 75 P07 is that CZ cleverly built this gun with not just one, but with two complete sides…right hand, top […] [Read More]
