For a new shooter, buying a complete gun cleaning kit makes a lot of sense. Assembled into one package are all of the components he or she might need to clean and maintain that new firearm.
Long-time shooters will often assemble larger kits filled with specialized tools, jags and brushes. But for someone starting out, all of the extras can be a little overwhelming. So, I decided to do a pistol cleaning kit review to see exactly what a new shooter might find, and if the kits are complete.
Looking to spend a lot of money on an AR-15 trigger that will let you spend a lot of money on ammunition? Check out the D-TR double trigger from Elftman Tactical.
The D-TR is a drop-in trigger system for the AR-15 platform that introduces a second trigger guard with a double-hump, really long trigger that can be pressed from both the standard trigger position and the newly added position. This essentially lets a shooter slap the triggers in a one-two motion with the pointer and index fingers to throw a lot of rounds downrange in a manner consistent with paintball players.
LaserMax officially introduced the green guide rod laser for Glock pistols on Friday. The new guide rods uses a green laser for aiming instead of the traditional red laser the company used in the past. LaserMax hinted to this announcement recently on the company’s website.
The new lasers are completely contained in a replacement guide rod assembly. There are no external accessories attached to the gun. The obvious benefit is that a Glock can be outfitted with one of these LaserMax devices and still fit in normal holsters.
When Colt’s Manufacturing Company signed a deal in 2011 with Osceola County, FL to open a “regional headquarters and product manufacturing center,” it was reported the company would employ more than 60 people at that site. But, more than halfway through 2013, the facility still stands empty.
According to news reports, Colt’s Manufacturing has yet to take possession of the facility and it appears that none of those promised jobs have materialized. With an end-of-the-year deadline looming in the contract between Colt and Osceola County, it is being reported that Colt’s lender, not the company, is working out an agreement to get things back on track.
What is going on? Will Colt ultimately abandon the deal?
Recently, Arsenal teased to a new rifle that the company would introduce in the coming days. That day is now here.
Arsenal’s “game changer” is a new SAM7SF rifle with a right-side folding stock. Most folding stock rifles swing to the left side when folded. This one takes a walk on the wild side and swings right.
