Arsenal’s Remarkable Durability

An Arsenal rifle survives a total loss house fire!

On December 20th, 2024, a house erupted in flames in Northern Wisconsin. The cause of this total loss fire was a chimney fire in the upper level of the house. The home was an A-Frame design with a metal roof, because of this the fire and heat funneled and vented through the front and back of the house. [Read more…] about Arsenal’s Remarkable Durability

Armscor 1911

In the great debate of “what’s the better handgun: 1911 or Glock?”, I always fall on the side of 1911. Glock pistols shoot well, but they just don’t feel good to me. The 1911 feels good in my hands. The angle of the grip, the weight, and even the recoil when shooting. Growing up in California, the ammo capacity advantage didn’t really exist. Plus, with modern technology, that isn’t really a factor at all anymore.  [Read more…] about Armscor 1911

Why Build an AR-15?

I joined the military when I was 17 years old. That was also how old I was the first time I shot a real firearm. At 20 years old I purchased my first firearm. It was a bolt action rifle because I wanted a “hunting gun”. I love that rifle, but that was foolish reasoning. You can hunt in most places with an AR platform. More experience and knowledge has given me an appreciation for the AR platform.  [Read more…] about Why Build an AR-15?

Crisis in the Middle East: Iran vs Israel

When war erupts, it appears sudden. Yet, with a little digging, it reveals itself as a longitudinal event waiting for the perfect flashpoint moment to erupt.

The Zastava M77 Sporting Rifle

Ever since my experience with the Saiga AK, I have liked the AK platform. It is easy to break down, dependable, relatively low recoil, and I have personally found them reliably accurate out to 500 yards. I also like that I don’t have to take my head off the rifle to rack it. Now you take that rifle, make it in .308 win/7.62×51, and give it wooden furniture. That is a rifle that grabs my attention.

The LF308 Battle Rifle AR-10

The first gun I ever bought was a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 win. Ever since that day, I have been in love with that round. It is my favorite rifle cartridge. Can it do everything? God no. It can, however, do most things I want to do. With that said, when I was looking at building my AR, I was originally looking to make an AR-10. I learned quickly that it was a lot more expensive to build that. Due to costs, I built an AR-15 instead. I never did lose my itch for wanting an AR-10 though.  [Read more…] about The LF308 Battle Rifle AR-10
