Modern Musket is showing off an upcoming t-shirt design that I think we can all get behind. The statement on this shirt is simple and powerful. Rights remain the same while the objects and mediums used to express those rights are constantly evolving. No one would argue that the First Amendment doesn’t apply to social media even though the Founding Fathers could have never seen Facebook coming. Firearms are no different.
We recently showed you the upper receiver from the Bentwood Gunsmithing exclusive Battle Arms Development OIP (Ounces is Pounds) carbine. Now we have a sneak peak at the lower receiver. The renderings below give you a pretty solid idea of what the final product will look like though the faceted areas shown will actually be smooth curves.
Again, these will be available exclusively through Bentwood Gunsmithing as part of a complete carbine but you can expect to find the ideas explored here incorporated into upcoming Battle Arms Development products.
Training videos that cover basic, fundamental concepts aren’t always sexy but they are necessary and often neglected. The new Viking Tactics Basic Carbine Fundamentals DVD is looking to change that.

Forgotten Weapons is one of the most fascinating channels on YouTube and it is a personal favorite of mine. The channel and website highlight exotic, obscure, significant, or even just strange firearms and teaches the viewer about them in a no-nonsense way that keeps their videos light and informative. I can’t say enough good things about their content. It is consistently excellent.
As you can imagine, showing the finer details of a firearm, especially firearms with unique or complex mechanisms, is best done with good quality video equipment. As you can also imagine, good quality video equipment doesn’t come cheap. Forgotten Weapons is attempting to raise the funds necessary to purchase the equipment via an INDIEGOGO crowd funding campaign.
The campaign has really grown some legs but there is still some additional funds to be covered. Check out the campaign page to see if you can help.
