Yesterday was 70 degrees and sunny…
And today I got to tear down the SHOT Show multigun because all of the build crew’s two weeks of work attracted this: Stormy with a steady 40mph wind out at the range. Gusts up to 80mph. And lots of … Continue reading

C-more Competition M26 M.A.S.S.
Yet another cool shotgun here at SHOT Show. It’s the C-more Competition M26 M.A.S.S. magazine-fed 12-gauge. It is a slide-action as opposed to a semi-auto, but it doesn’t use a conventional forearm-style pump. Instead it has a charging handle on … Continue reading
Multi-Gun in Vegas
Dad and I drive down to Vegas on Sunday for a 3-gun. This’ll be our first time running the Saiga in a match. Here’s hoping everything works!

Black Rifle Ideas
I’ve got a complete DPMS AR-15 lower receiver assembly with a Magpul PRS stock on it, but traded the upper for a para. We’ve already got an AR tricked out for 3-gun, so Dad told me to come up with … Continue reading
At SHOT SHOW 2011
Arrived in Las Vegas early yesterday morning and shot a match. Unfortunately on the first stage my custom Glock 35 jammed up and when I racked the slide to clear it the gun went off. I had my finger out … Continue reading

Saiga 12 Magwell
In my original post about the Saiga 12, I detailed how hard it was to reload on a closed bolt. The AwKward AK “rock and lock” reload is magnified by the fact that the fat 12 gauge shells stick out … Continue reading

Saiga 12 project: gas system
The factory-standard Saiga 12 shotgun is designed to shoot “Hi-Brass” loads, the smallest loads that will function reliably are #6 shot as opposed to the softer-shooting and more commonly used ”low brass” #7.5 shot found at Wal-Mart. Every gun is … Continue reading
Saiga 12 project
When Dad and I started getting more into 3-gun shooting we started to look for a replacement for our old Benelli/H&K M1 Super 90. It’s a fine gun, but because it’s recoil operated it kicks more than most shotguns. This isn’t very good for competitive shooting, but it’s so bad that after a 24 round all-shotgun stage Dad (who’s had more concussions than he can remember) is dizzy. It doesn’t help when a stage requires slugs, either, or he darn near tears his thumbnail off loading it one…shell…at…a…time.
870 woes
My uncle kevin came up last week and had me work on his 870. I blogged about the project a while ago but he only just gave me the shotgun to work on. All the aftermarket remington parts went on … Continue reading

This week…
This week has been pretty busy. My 7 day adventure had me encounter exploding reloaders, the mule-like kick of a Benelli M1, TORX head screws and a combination lock with a 4-letter combination (It’s not what you think…). So as … Continue reading
Anatomy of a Racegun part 3, Para Ordnance
This means that some 1911 parts will not fit Para Ordnance high capacity pistols, specifically triggers, magazine catches, and Safeties The traditional 1911 has two safeties, a grip safety and a thumb safety (on the Para this safety is ambidextrous).
…A normal full-length guide rod requires a bent paper clip be inserted into a hole in the rod to disassemble. 
Top: One-piece Tungsten guide rod and plug held together by a paper clip Bottom:DP tool-less guide rod After a bit of shooting, the factory sear wore out and had to be replaced with an EGW sear and a Koenig Low-mass hammer.
250 .40 rounds for sale cheep, thx Gaston Glock.
Ok, I’m kinda angry at Gaston Glock right now. Why? I just loaded 400 rounds of .40. And out of that 400 rounds, 250(!!) failed the case gauge! This is from a batch of brass we got pre-polished from a … Continue reading
The 870 project
I’m back from Idaho. Got in 11:30 sunday night and was busy most of yesterday. My Uncle Kevin, a policeman, has tasked me with kitting up an old Remington 870 into a ”tactical” home defense shotgun. He gave me a … Continue reading
