SilencerCo's Hybrid 46 & Omega 36M
02/14/2021 Invisible tools Funny. I am always trying to think of things to write about that readers might find useful, often overlooking what is right in front of me. No, not my keyboard, monitor and cup of coffee, but rather what I often see, but do not consciously acknowledge. Yes,…...
Ruger AR-556 in 5.56 NATO Part II
09/27/2020 At McDonald’s, suggestive selling is, “Would you like fries with that quarter pounder?”.

Marlin 1895 Dark Series
05/03/2020 Audio Prologue: The Marlin 1895 Dark reminds me of my once favorite heavy hitter, a Mauser bolt action with a hog’s back full stock, a 20.5″ Douglas barrel and chambered for the 375 Ruger. It was a world class ass kicker on both ends that never left me under…...

Ruger’s 77/44 – The Next Generation 44 Magnum Carbine Part III
