Bolted to the underside of the nightstand is a gunvault mini with a Walther PPQ m1 and Olight Valkyrie (though the light will be changing soon). Next to that is an AR-15 with an Olight t20 on the rail.

For a 12 gauge I really like my Maverick 88, accepts almost every Mossberg 500 part (barrels included) and is very inexpensive; I picked up an 18" bbl model at a local Dick`s sporting goods for $170 on sale, I have no complaints. For a centerfire, particularly an AR, I like to just pick up parts...

I agree with the NFA being a big contender in the next 4 years and I'd love to see SBR's and SBS's and suppressors run free in the wild. My only problem is that even if the NFA was to be fully repealed I wouldn't get to enjoy any of it considering I live in NJ and honestly there is no hope in...

Forgotten weapons is fascinating. I watch Hickok45 if I'm looking at a specific firearm and want to see it in action. Colion Noir sold me my first handgun though (through his review) , and i love the work he's doing now.

So I had decided to assemble another AR-15 these past few months considering prices are relatively low and might be going up in the near future. As I've done in the past I got parts piece meal and when it came time to get an upper receiver that wasn't part of an assembled upper it was really...

I have one with the ACSS Orion reticle, I bought it specifically for a 30-06 deer rifle. It is a little chunky, but the glass is clear and the reticle is awesome. The ranging capability is very handy and I find that the BDC is spot on with their recommended load (150gr Hornady). I will echo...

I mixed up a very small batch (a little over a half gallon) and after 2 years still have about a quart. It eats mild carbon build up really well and an extended soak makes scrubbing caked on carbon easier. I can't really say that it does much to copper fouling as I never really let it build up...

Seeing all this talk about fully ambidextrous guns and semi-autos I'm surprised the Walther PPQ hasn't been brought up. I own an M1 in 9mm, and I purchased it specifically because I'm left-handed. The gun works flawlessly and has a great trigger compared to other's I've felt, very crisp with an...

The Beretta Model 1934 isn't so much a surplus I suppose but it's not incredibly expensive. I got a great deal on a 1941 Army marked gun that has alot of the bluing eaten away in speckles, not sure from what (guy at the counter says blood, I don't know about all that jazz). For 225$ OTD i...

Looking at easy to install free float rails, I would say an ALG Defense EMR in M-lok is a great choice. I installed one on my AR in no time flat and with little difficulty. It's incredibly light and doesn't seem to get to hot even with multiple strings of fire (might just be the tiny NJ mags)...

Getting a holster may be a doozy ( a simple pocket type holster will fit I'm sure) but the Beretta Model 1934 could be a good option too. They're quite classy, hefty (helping to soak up that snappy recoil). They aren't terribly hard to find and I think it's a good alternative. A Savage model...

Tritium is a luminous gas: it produces light and it's kept in a little glass vial that constitutes your front sight. In total darkness you'll be able to see it, however aligning it with your rear sight (it not being illuminated by tritium or other source) would be very difficult if not...

I'm on the hunt for a Walther PPQ M1 that isn't being listed for MSRP, just have to wait for NJ's pistol purchasing permit to come through :banghead:

Not a TV show but I saw it on TV so maybe it counts somewhat. During the movie "Angels and Demons" the Italian Police Chief (I guess that's his title?) for the Vatican grabs a Sig Sauer pistol from his vault, loads a full magazine, racks the slide and then, get ready for this.... He DECOCKS it.

Hello fellow New Jerseyan. Here in our wonderful state of glee, we must have our magazines permanently (Read again: permanently) blocked at 15 rds. This can not be done in state to my knowledge; having a magazine that can hold more than 15rds in general is a no go so you wouldn't have any to...
