If you are running an AR rifle, you should be aware of the lacquered ammo issues that are out there.  Many steel cased rounds have a thin coat of lacquer on them.  This lacquer will eventually build up during the firing cycle potentially causing jams. The cost savings is what drives most people to shoot the lacquered ammo, but is it worth it?  I say yes.  As long as you clean your rifle thoroughly after each use, it will probably not be a big...

We have completed our intial tests for the Mossy Creek Arms AR-15 Model 1542.  By the way, anyone know what the 1542 means?  We have done our intial function testing to see if it will feed all types of ammo with different mags.  Our AR will have the Magpul Mags, which we think are the best, but the gun needs to run anything.  we also have some of the nasiest ammo, that still ran.  This is exactly what we want.  We are trying to build the best...

I recently had the opportunity to check out a friend’s Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22.  The 15-22 is a dedicated 22lr AR look a like.  They sell for around $450 and come with one mag.

He told me that at the range he only had one failure to...

One of the questions that is floating around is how to sight in the AR-15.  The AR is an unbelievable platform that works well for Law Enforcement, Military, and Civilian competition.  The AR is accurate, low recoiling, and completely customizable making it the best choice for many shooters. D.R. Middlebrooks of Tactical Shooting Academy is famous for saying the AR is good for anything from 3 yards to 300 yards.  Considering your options for...

Trijicon has been a household name for many of you for a long time.  I have used their stuff for years, and until this week I was unaware they added a Bible Verse inscription to their scopes.  It has generated a lot of heat.  One commentator called it proselytizing.  I certainly think they are within their rights to do so, because they are a private company.  I guess more than anything this story cracks me up because it really doesn’t...
