Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor: All About the Rifle

Sep 19, 2024 | breachbangclear.com | Jim Davis

I was cruising the shelves at my favorite local gun shop (The Handgunner in Topton, PA) when I saw a bolt action on the shelf, a Ruger American Predator topped with a Vortex Crossfire II riflescope. Randy, the owner, saw me fondling it and said, “It has a confirmed kill.”“Huh?”, I said, perplexed. “I took a deer with it at 175 yards. One confirmed kill”, he elaborated. I had to chuckle. He asked if I wanted to see the target that he shot with it, so I said sure.
Going Old School With the AR-15

Sep 16, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Jim Davis

Over the past few years, a few companies have released retro-oriented rifles, which have been well-received on the market. While many in the younger crowd like to install optics, lasers, rail systems, and all manner of tactical tidbits onto their rifles, nearly turning them into crew-served weapons, some of us old-timers enjoy the simpler things in life. The fact that various companies have introduced AR-15 designs from decades ago proves that shooters yearn for those old-school rifles.

The Bill of Rights, which is the first ten amendments to the US Constitution, was ratified on December 15, 1791. These amendments protected existing rights, such as the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, which is particularly relevant to this article since it is firearm-related. 1791 Gunleather is based in Miami, Florida. As readers have probably guessed, this company chose 1791 as its name because of the importance of the aforementioned Bill of Rights.
Magazine Storage: Safe and Secure Options

Sep 10, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Jim Davis

Magazines. They’re the heart of so many of our firearms these days. Big ones and little ones, metal ones and plastic ones. Cheap ones and expensive ones. Without them, so many of our guns become single-shot firearms. It’s enough to make us warm up to the concept of the tube magazines that we see on lever guns and shotguns, isn’t it? No magazines to store or lose around the house. I could get used to that. This begs a few questions: How should we store our magazines?
Palmetto State Armory PSAK-47 GF3: An American-Made AK-47

Sep 10, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Jim Davis

Only recently did I stumble upon Palmetto State Armory. Oh sure, I’d heard their name before, but it was among a sea of other gun manufacturers, which in my tiny mind was swallowed up as white noise. But recently, a good buddy of mine picked up one of their AR-15 rifles, and after a close examination of that rifle, along with some range time, I ordered one for myself. That, however, is the subject of another article.

There are many possibilities for mounting an optic as far as platforms are concerned. Are you looking for an optic to mount on an AR-15? Or maybe a pistol caliber carbine (PCC), bolt action rifle, or battle rifle? Regardless of the firearm platform, shooters often ask whether a red dot sight (RDS) or a magnified optic is better. As is always the case, the answer really depends on what the user wants to do with the firearm in question. Want to engage close-range targets quickly? Get a red dot sight.

Aug 28, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Jim Davis

Although Hollywood uses guns extensively in their movies, the perception is that most celebrities stand against firearms. Many seem to be against the idea of private gun ownership altogether. With such a perception, it might come as a shock to us that there are actually quite a few Hollywood celebs who are not only advocates of gun ownership but who have large private gun collections themselves.
US Palm AK-30R AK-47 Magazines: Are They Worth the Hype?

Aug 15, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Jim Davis

Since 2009, US Palm has been producing magazines and pistol grips for the AK-47 platform. One might think that because they only make a couple of products, this niche company might not do a lot of business, but that would be a wrong assumption. Their business seems to be booming, and their reputation seems to reflect that. US Palm’s reputation for producing great AK magazines is widespread, but are they really that good?
AR-15 Barrel Comparisons: The Long And Short of It

Aug 13, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Jim Davis

When it comes to the AR-15, civilians love to mimic the military. Many folks like to have a carbine that resembles what the SEALs or Delta operators are using. Some think, “If it’s good enough for the SEALs, then it will suit my needs.” Others like to fancy themselves as special operators or the equivalent. For others, it’s a matter of practicality, as shorter carbines are easier to maneuver and store.
