Armalite’s new 300WM rifle
Time to start saving pennies. Threaded for silencers from the factory, eh?
Avilas are selling a ton of firearms.
The owners of AR15.com are selling a huge stack of firearms to finance the move to Dallas. If I had a spare couple dozen grand, there are some nice rifles I’d pick up. The list is growing as time goes on, so watch carefully.
4000 feet per second at the muzzle.
Factory 223 from at least 2011. Tempted to get a box to play with.
I wonder what minimum detonation diameter means?
These guys have no idea. I’ll save you the trouble: they put it in a pile and shoot it from way too close.
1914 PBF revolver
Picked up a strange revolver today – 4.5 shots (?!)
They had a 4.5 shot 1911, too, so why not?
Rhino Slider arrives
Back in September, I paid for a Rhino Slider so I could take those cool time lapses where you see something in the foreground move contra the background. As part of the early production run, the teething pains are obvious; I’ll need a couple taps to chase the threads in the rods and legs, as of right now I can’t assemble it completely.
However, after sticking it on a tripod (and regretting not buying the carrying case), I put a ball head on it and the LaRue rail squeezer; it makes for a very smooth rifle support. You can get about 45 degrees of rotation with only minor adjustment of your feet; it’s quite nice to have the rifle move without requiring a new hold. Complete setup will require two more tripods and the complete assembly of the feet, so maybe not in time for Boomershoot. We’ll see.
Ever the optimists
We would like to thank all of our customers for your support. Currently we have approximately two years of backorders for rifles, upper halves, and lower receivers.
In which the bullet is bitten
Come to daddy. I should have it in time for Boomershoot… 2015. Oh well.
On HK sucks and hates you
A great bit of research over at Vuurwapen Blog on the import ban and where the lines were drawn. If you’re interested in guns, you really should be following Vuurwapen Blog.
