I know what many of you are thinking right now: “Pete, this is a major crisis, no one cares about your g*ddamn short barrels, silencers or vertical fore grips!” That’s where you are wrong, friend. In these times that try men’s and women’s souls, the things that bring us joy are even more important. While you wait for that incubation period to pass, you don’t need an additional timeline weighing you down. Have no fear, our friends at the American Suppressor Association are reporting that the ATF’s NFA Division are processing NFA applications at a standard pace. Insert joke about the ATF, NFA timelines, the $200 ransom and the Constitution here.

Gerber has been a long time favorite knife and tool manufacturer of mine. Being from my home town of Portland Oregon, the company has made many EDC knives as well as multi-tools and other bladed tools alike.

Towards the end of last year, TFB reported about the Maverick Recoil Suppression System from Area 419.

Seekins Precision has introduced the second  Pro Comp AR-15 stock. As the first model, Seekins 10X, the new 10X-Ray is also a fixed stock. The main difference between the two is the skeletonized design of the new one. Other than that, these stocks have similar geometry as shown in the below-embedded image.

If you own a P320 or P250 then you should get the LIMA5. Since the P320 and P250 both have fire control units as the registered firearm component, the grip modules are interchangeable.

The system provides quick targeting solutions for long-range target engagements where knowing the exact performance of the next shot will be key.

With the AR-15 being the Lego-style build it yourself rifle on the market today, I’ve talked about the SIG Sauer P320 is a similar modular design with the Fire Control Unit being the heart of the gun. Those designs are great, but how hard is it to build your own 1911 from scratch?

It’s been a while since Vorn Defence got mentioned here at TFB. The Vorn Equipment Fast Access Rifle Backpack written by Nicholas C was the last time, and I really like their quick-release system. If you carry longer and larger rifles and firearms from time to time, or all of the time, you should continue reading. Their new system is called Garm, which in Norse mythology is a wolf associated with Ragnarök, and described as a blood-stained guardian of Hel’s gate.

Gray Ops was created by the professional shooter David Preston. In 2015 he won the National Championship. The name behind the company came after his son, Gray Preston.

A ROLLSIZER is a case resizer that removes any bulges that might be created by some chambers with brass expanding during firing and returns it a true concentrical state very close to original specs. It does this by passing it by a cam-like mechanism as the casing rotates,…or rolls.

One of the most convenient and compact pocket lights out there, in my opinion, is the Streamlight Stylus Pro series. The first iteration of the Stylus Pro ran on two AAA sized batteries and had a battery life of about 8 hours at 100 lumens maximum output. The output power, size, and battery life made this version of the Stylus Pro a perfect solution for an EDC flashlight. Streamlight has just launched a new version of the Stylus Pro USB penlight that now offers many new features and improvements.

Swarovski Optik from the Austrian Tyrol area has released some interesting news: the product is called dG 8×25 (short for Digital Guide). They claim it’s the first long-range optical device that allows you to identify and document your sightings. With the help of the Internet and clever apps, you can also share your discoveries with other people.

Finding a good bag for everyday use as well as range use can be difficult, to say the least. In an effort to find the mythical “do all” bag, I’ve decided to purchase a few different bags with my own money in the name of science and product testing. These were not requested for testing, paid for by TFB or even talked about with any of the companies.

When thinking about carrying a concealed firearm, it’s easy to focus on one specific item rather than the overall big picture. It’s important to look at different aspects as a bigger picture rather than only worrying about just what knife you carry or what type of gun is best for you any given day. There’s a number of things everyone should at least consider carrying when they leave their house with a firearm. Now everyone may have different opinions on the matter, and that’s totally fine but just keep in mind this can be a flexible list depending on your preferences and needs for daily carry. Let’s dive into some of the most important things you can carry when concealing a firearm.

At SHOT Show 2020, Phoenix Technology introduced featureless grips for AK-47 and AR-15 pattern rifles. Normally, the ergonomics of featureless grips leaves a lot to be desired, however, these particular ones are quite comfortable. Let’s take a closer look.

There are built-in buttons on either side of these mounts squeezing which allows attaching them to or unlocking from the handguard in a matter of seconds and without a use of tools.

Franklin Armory’s Binary Firing System upgrades your rifle and may turn it into your favorite shooter. Skeptical at first, I have become a “true believer” (in the cult-like fashion of other Franklin acolytes). I fired every single 9mm round I had, then searched for more, like a junkie needing a fix. With this upgrade, merely picking up my Binary AK gets me giggly and warm inside. How many rounds did I fire? I have no frickin’ idea…

Despite launching numerous new products at the SHOT Show 2020, Strike Industries has branched out yet again by releasing a new gun cleaning mat, aptly named the “Gunmat”, which features incorporated trays for keeping small gun parts from rolling away.  Strike Industries’ new mat is similar to other popular designs in that the mat is padded, but deviates from them with the multiple molded trays for keeping smaller parts where you want them, or by keeping parts separated if working on several guns at once.

KRYK (pronounced “Crook” meaning; Raven) is a Ukrainian company making some pretty cool aftermarket options for firearms. (Check out their site here). TFB’s Doug E. has reviewed the same chassis for a Mosin, give it a read. I received the CRC 7R003 chassis for a Remington 700 from Raven. I was happy to see when my chassis arrived from the other side of the planet it was in excellent shape. The boxes were heavily abused however, everything was very well packaged and protected from the “handling”.

Over the last few years, LARPing has become something where certain people online and in the comment sections will continuously make fun of and say there’s no value in running around with all of your tactical gear. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a ton of fun to make fun of certain people who dress up head to toe in tactical gear. Despite how entertaining some people can be, is there any real benefits to wearing your gear around the house and becoming accustomed to your loadout? Let’s dive into whether or not LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) has real value or if it’s just for basement dwellers.
