AR Riser Bar
I recently had a custom job to do for on of our AR’s at Mossy Creek Arms. The customer was looking to use the gun primarily for coyote hunting this year. We decided to leave the front sight on the gun and use a back up rear sight from Magpul. 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 bar. I ended up going with one from ProMag. ProMag makes a lot cool aftermarket stuff that is very...

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 these rifles. Many people are now discovering that their AR is a great varmint, hunting, or target...

I did a little work on a Glock 30 SF over the last week. Everything went well except that I ordered Crimson Trace Laser Grips for it (they don’t make them for the SF). I was having a miserable time getting them to line up with the sights when I realized what I had done. So . . . . if any of you out there have a Glock 30 or 29 that is NOT an SF model. Let me know and I will sell you these for what I have in them. Hint: substantial savings for you!!
read moreThe Hardest Pistol Shot
The hardest shot to make with a pistol is the one you have to make under pressure. Most of us shoot for fun, but carry for serious purposes. It’s not unusual to see guys at the range shooting cans, clays or other targets as they laugh with their friends. Shooting, by its very nature, is fun. The problem comes in that we never practice like we mean it. How many people have told me what a great shot they are until we went to an IDPA match. When the timer went off and people were watching it got serious; seriously ugly. Next time you...
read moreLacquered Ammo?
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 issue. Most of you have an AR use it for recreational purposes, and not for your job, ie. your...
read moreDraw Stroke
One overlooked area of CCW is practice from concealment. Many times we are forced to shoot at indoor ranges that prohibit drawing our firearms for obvious reasons. With that in mind, it is important to refresh yourself on the draw stroke from concealment at home. Make sure your gun is unloaded, and you have removed the ammunition from the area of practice. I like to stand in front of a mirror at first to visually correct any flaws. Make a few practice draws at about 1/2 speed. Then begin to move up in your speed. If you haven’t...
