Andy’s Leather Rhodesian Sling

By Matt on July 21, 2014 in Guns

It is hard to beat a Ching Sling when it comes to field expedient shooting slings. However, some shooters can’t or won’t drill their rifle stock for the second foreend sling swivel that is required to mount Ching Sling. That is why Andy’s Leather now makes the Rhodesian Sling.

The Rhodesian Sling a 2 point carry and shooting sling that requires only a front and rear sling swivel in the traditional mounting locations. It has a large adjustable sized loop in the forward part of the sling that can be used in much the same way as a Ching Sling. You simple drive your support arm through the loop up to the bicep as you shoulder the rifle. Dropping the support arm elbow then draws the sling tight to stabilize the rifle.

V7 Weapon System Titanium AR-15 Barrel Nut

By Matt on July 18, 2014 in Guns

V7 Weapon Systems really, really doesn’t like heavy AR-15s. They are continuing their crusade against excess AR-15 ounces with the announcement of their new Titanium AR-15 Barrel Nut. The new barrel nut is made from grade 5 titanium and is made to mil-spec dimensions. It weighs just 22 grams compared to the roughly 37 gram weight of a normal steel barrel nut.

Mossberg 500 13″ LOP TALO Edition

By Matt on July 18, 2014 in Guns

When it comes to shotguns, I train with them and I enjoy using them for some applications but, within the context of home defense, there aren’t many things I can do with a shotgun that I wouldn’t rather do with a carbine. That is why I prefer to keep my shotguns fairly simple and affordable. It just isn’t worth it for me to pump a lot of money into them.

Simple and affordable is exactly what the new TALO edition of the Mossberg 500 is. I have had great luck with Mossberg 500s with my admittedly light firing schedules and so, in the interests of keeping the cost to a minimum, they are generally what I use as my go-to shotguns. TALO’s newest distributor exclusive model is basically all you need in a Mossberg 500 and very similar to how I configure mine.

It is lightweight and maneuverable thanks to Mossbergs relatively lightweight 18.5″ barrel, aluminum receiver, and their 5 round tube magazine (5 + 1 capacity). It features a bead sight which I generally prefer for a home defense shotgun. Best of all, it comes with a shorter 13″ length of pull stock installed from the factory.

This looks like a simple, well thought out, and affordable (retail is around $270) home defense shotgun. All you need to do is stoke it with some Federal reduced recoil buckshot with the Flight Control wad and figure out how you prefer to mount a light to it.

It isn’t listed at TALO yet but your dealer should be able to order it.

AGP Arms Hunter Orange 10/22 Takedown

By Matt on July 17, 2014 in Guns, Survival

AGP Arms makes some of the coolest 10/22 accessories on the market. Their take down kit, which turns a standard Ruger 10/22 into a lightweight, return-to-zero, take-down rifle is a prime example of this. The kit is now available in Hunter Orange which is an ideal color for a survival rifle. I typically don’t care for brightly colored guns but in this case it serves a purpose and actually looks nice (though I would probably skip the orange muzzle device).

Check out AGP Arms.
