The BATFE has reversed course on the popular Sig Brace.  These braces have been growing in popularity with shooters across the country.  The current issue of American Handgunner even ran a piece about it.  If you are using it to shoulder mount an AR Pistol, its time to stop or face a charge of having an unregistered Short Barreled Rifle or  SBR.  Use them only as they were intended.  All letters that came with the brace are now...

Right now we are seeing the markets begin to stabilize a bit.  Three months ago Magpul AR mags were selling for as much as $75 a mag on Gunbroker.  Today they are selling for about $22.  This is only a few dollars more than what they retailed for before the end of 2012.

I recently finished reading Lone Survivor, which chronicles Marcus Luttrell’s experience in the Navy Seals while on deployment to Afghanistan.  It was a fascinating look at the heroism of the Navy Seals who are fighting the war on terror.     By the way here is a picture of the Mark 12 sniper rifle described in the book.  This photo is from one of the guys at Sniper’s Hide Forums who gives a good explanation of the specs....

This would give him a good backup in case of battery failure or lens breakage. To get the scope height correct to clear the front sight and be able to cowitness with the rear we needed a riser...

If you are wanting to get a little more accuracy out of your AR  you should check out the Magpul Precision Rifle Stock or PRS.  This is a stock that I have had the chance to put on a few guns, and I am really impressed with it. Everything in the AR market has been geared for the tactical/blaster type gun in the last few years.  This is the most popular segment of the market for AR’s, but it overlooks the accuracy that is capable from...
