A rack grade AK47 is one of the greatest battle rifles ever designed. While many will argue which battle rifle is the “best” the AK almost always makes the list for consideration. The AK does suffer some setbacks. It is an old design. The ergonomics favor smaller shooters. The iron sights are poor in low light and the system does not lend well to installing optics.

Chamber Check Your Match Ammunition!
It may seem like a redundant task. You just finished painstakingly loading each and every cartridge you will shoot through your high dollar match rifle at an upcoming match. You have handled the cartridges through countless preparation tasks. Why add one more to the list?

MATEN Project stretches its legs at Rockcastle Shooting Center (1000 yards)
The MATEN did not perform as well as I had hoped it would with the 168gr Black Hills Gold at long range. Once we get a chance to work up a long range load specifically tailored to the MATEN’s 16″ barrel we will give this another go. Right now the rifle should be considered and excellent 800 yard option. Since the MATEN was intended as a LE Sniper/DMR Rifle is has passed the test and I consider it a success. We will still be running a 100 yard accuracy test and a “debrief” about how well each component worked for us.
Caldwell AR-15 Brass Catcher Review
The more we shoot semi-auto rifles, the more we long for a way to keep track of that valuable brass. We recently reviewed the 3Bucc Brass Savr. It is an excellent, although slightly pricey way to catch the brass ejected from your AR15 and large frame AR. Once we published that review we received a number of requests for cheaper solution. Continue reading Caldwell AR-15 Brass Catcher Review
Improved AK Project Coming Soon
Our subject matter is mostly dedicated to precision platforms. However we decided to stray a little and do a segment on one of the least precise or accurate systems in our arsenal, the AK47. Starting this month we will be doing a video series on how to improve your AK. We have not decided on the order or tone of the series yet, but we have finally gotten all of our parts on deck. Keep your eyes peeled and make sure you are subscribed to our YouTube Channel!
Clips and Magazines
This nation of ours seems to suffer from what I would like to call “Clip Confusion”. I blame Hollywood first, Politicians Second and the Media as a whole last. Now I realize that I do count as part of that last group. Now is my chance to help fix the problem.
When I started my career in the field of arms, nomenclature (the proper names of things) was very important. In fact proper nomenclature could mean the difference between getting to eat or a whole lot of pain and suffering. You see Marine Corps Boot Camp is not tolerant of individuality. You don’t get to call things whatever you want because you think it is cool. You call them by the name the Corps assigned to them or you pay for it. This indoctrination is most likely the source of my ire about the “Clip Confusion”.
