Equipment

This is a review of my BCM 20" Government Profile Barrel, which I purchased as part of a complete upper in 2014. To date, it's been a fantastic piece of gear, but is the 20" outdated at this point?

The LaRue Tactical MBT is a fantastic trigger, especially when you can get it for the prices it goes on sale for. I've run one for a couple of years now, and thought it time to give it a proper review.

The tactical smock isn't as popular in the United States as it should be. It's a fantastic way to carry a bunch of important gear, from ammunition to shelter kits, close to the body and under a fairly low profile. In this post, let's take a closer look at it.

A lot of people confuse muzzle brakes and compensators as being the same thing. Even manufacturers get the distinction wrong. They aren't equivalent, though. But it doesn't really matter for one important reason.

If you're new to shooting, you probably haven't been exposed to a proper shooting sling. The shooting sling is one of the most helpful tools for better marksmanship. It practically doubles my accuracy capability.

I would like to talk about some of my personal project builds. The intent of this post is not so much a "show and tell" as it is a discussion of what decisions I made, why I made them, and how they affected me as time went on. I'd like to think that my decision-making skills got better as time went on and I gained experience.

You know how that "teach a man to fish" saying goes? I always thought it was a little pithy, but it wasn't wrong. I'm going to review common AR-15 specs and explain what they mean.

Fellow blogger Sunshine Shooter competed in Desert Brutality 2019, a match that emphasizes physical toughness of you and your equipment. In this post, you'll get a sense of what Desert Brutality is all about as an event, and some tips for competing in future iterations.

During our series on load carriage, we've gone over all of the most common methods available. Now it's time to talk about where to put all that extra stuff: the assault pack.

The Vedder Light Tuck holster has been my go-to CCW holster for over a year. I thought it was time to do a write up about this great American-made holster.

For whatever reason, I don't think the Trijicon battery-powered LED ACOGs have gained as much traction as they deserve. The classic combat optic paired with an efficient LED emitter is a great combination, and I want to take a deeper look at it. In particular, I'm going to review my TA-110 ACOG with the horseshoe-dot reticle and green LED illumination.

If you are very particular about the way you clean your rifles, then you probably take great care not to damage the crown or chamber of your gun. A cleaning rod guide, or bore guide as they're often called, is a very effective way to prevent that kind of damage.
