Shipping Spring 2017 – PMAG 30 AR 300 B for 300 BLK

By
248 Shooter
-

The PMAG 30 AR 300 B GEN M3 is a purpose-designed magazine for rifles
chambered in 300 Blackout. Since its inception, 300 Blackout shooters have
had to use a magazine designed for another cartridge, limiting its performance
and compatibility. One of the nice features of 300 Blackout is the compatibility
with 5.56x45mm parts, but with the magazine it is a compromise to do so. Due
to the wide variety of projectile weights and shapes potentially decreasing
overall reliability, a dedicated 300 Blackout magazine was a logical step for
the PMAG line.

In addition to the performance gained by a dedicated mag, the PMAG 30
AR 300 B also offers a safer way to feed your 300 BLK rifle. When using
5.56 mags, the potential to chamber and fire a 300 BLK round in a 5.56 rifle
with catastrophic results requires diligent ammunition management by the
shooter. The PMAG 30 AR 300 B’s distinct rib design provides the shooter
a distinct visual and tactile difference from any other PMAG to mitigate
dangerous cross-loading issues. Along with optimized 300 BLK performance,
the PMAG 30 AR 300 B brings along all of the GEN M3 features such as
our next-generation impact and crush resistant polymer, aggressive front and
rear texture, an easily removable slim floor plate, a paint pen dot matrix for
marking and identification, and a dust/impact cover.

• Dedicated, purpose-designed magazine for rifles chambered in 300 Blackout
• Optimized internal geometry accommodates the wide variety of bullet
profiles used in 300 Blackout cartridges
• Distinct rib design provides the shooter a visual & tactile difference from
any other pmag to mitigate dangerous cross-loading
• Carries forward the physical & performance features of the rest of the gen
m3 line

Umarex® ARX® Ammo New for Air Rifles and Muzzleloaders

By
248 Shooter
-

FORT SMITH, Ark. (January 9, 2017) – Umarex® ARX® Ammunition represents the next generation of muzzleloading and airgun hunting technology. Precision-engineered at the pioneering PolyCase® Ammunition development lab, Umarex ARX ammo incorporates patent-pending innovation that enables extreme hunting performance. Constructed from an advanced polymer-copper matrix, the Umarex ARX SpeedBand™ and SpeedBelt™ bullets will revolutionize terminal performance in both muzzleloading and airgun hunting.

PolyCase ARX technology acts as a force multiplier in muzzleloader and airgun ammunition, simultaneously dispersing kinetic energy both forward and laterally. ARX non-expanding ammo provides maximum hydraulic displacement and terminal energy transfer to targets. This high velocity, flat-shooting projectile provides exceptional performance in mid and big-bore air rifles when combined with Umarex SpeedBand or SpeedBelt polymer sabots.

Umarex ARX Ammunition elevates pre-charged pneumatic air rifle performance into the 21st century with four of the most popular air rifle chamberings. The groundbreaking Umarex SpeedBand sabot was developed for use with Umarex ARX bullets in .357, .40 and .45 caliber while the base-style SpeedBelt sabot was designed for use with .50 caliber Umarex ARX ammo and performs flawlessly in both muzzleloaders and the new Umarex Hammer™ .50 caliber air rifle.

The polymer formulation of Umarex SpeedBand and SpeedBelt sabots creates a powerful seal in barrel lands and grooves, blocking the passage of air to swiftly drive the projectile down the barrel. Upon exiting the muzzle, captive air pressure on the sabot forces release of the high velocity, light-weight ARX ammo, which maximizes momentum and delivers un-paralleled terminal performance on target.

New Mission First Tactical Magazines Meet Colorado, New Jersey Laws

By
Shooting Sports Retailer
-

Mission First Tactical (MFT), innovators and leaders in the design of advanced arms accessories, is now making available its bestselling 30-round MFT Polymer Magazine in a 15-round restricted capacity to comply with Colorado and New Jersey firearm magazine regulations. The popularity of the MFT Mags, designed for the AR-15/M4 and capable of use with a variety of non-AR-15/M4 platforms, triggered an avalanche of customer requests for compliant magazines.

“The MFT Mags were originally designed with the warfighter or tactical operator in mind,” David Edelman, Vice President of Mission First Tactical explained. “Many of the unique features and super tough polyamide construction of these mags quickly made them a top choice for serious shooters and hunters as well. We take what our customers say seriously and deliver products that are fully mission-ready capable. Our MFT Mags all come with a lifetime warranty; that demonstrates our 100 percent commitment behind every product.”

The 15-round capacity MFT Mag is made possible by an internal limiter. The bottom of the magazine is “permanently” sealed. On the floor plate, a red pin indicates the 15-round mag block.

The Colorado/New Jersey compliant MFT Mag, produced from the same military-grade reinforced polyamide from DuPont, is made right here in the United States, as all MFT products are. The 15-round mag features a stipple texture and low profile front ribs for confident handling of magazines and easier extraction. The floorplate flares to also aid in extraction while providing drop protection. It is compatible with tight double and triple magazine pouches. An oversized bolt-catch notch, located in the rear of the magazine, allows for more bolt-catch clearance. A fully functional drain hole ensure that the magazine fully drains under adverse weather or shooting conditions. The MFT Mags 15-round capacity 5.56 NATO magazine with a long-life stainless steel spring and four-way, anti-tilt follower ensure reliable and consistent feeding in any scenario. MSRP is $16.99.

    1. De-schedule Marijuana from the federal list of prohibited drugs. Commute the sentences of all non-violent marijuana offenders. Remove it from question 11e of the 4473.
    2. Either paired with the previous bill, or on its own, pass the Hearing Protection Act and remove Silencers from the NFA.
    3. This is the risky one. First, resurrect the Coburn Amendment, which is a form of Universal Background Checks which allows for citizens to maintain complete anonymity to use the NICS system for private transfers. Se’s from the NFA and repeal the Hughes Amendment and reduce the Tax for machine guns to $5-$20. This would keep MG’s on the NFA, but allow for everyone to get them as long as they submit their tax stamp and pass the background check. Third, national conceal carry reciprocity. This can be tied to the NICS system, so anyone with a NCCW card can use it as proof of eligibility when performing the NICS check as well as can be used for any FFL transfer or form condly, remove SBS’s, SBR’s, and AOW1/2/4 check instead of filling out the 4473.
    4. Implement the program model of http://cureviolence.org/ nationwide. This is an effective violence intervention program that targets specific individuals and uses cognitive behavioral therapy to stop violence before it starts. It has a success rate of reducing homicides of 56%. End all import bans. 922r, historical firearms, specific bans on countries like russia, ammo specific bans, and repeal the armor piercing ammo laws.
  1. Post Election Game Plan: Trump was elected because of the NRA and gun owners. He is setting up a 2A Committee for when he comes into office. He owes us the entire presidency, so he’s going to have to deliver. The big problem we face is that the left HATES Don. With a passion. Unless the right is able to offer up bills that will garner support from the left, they will do everything in their powers to obstruct any pro-gun bills that come through. So the right will have to do something that the left was never willing to do, offer up REAL compromises. That means both sides give a little. The first bills that go through have to be ones that give the left a lot of what they want, and a little of what the pro-gun side wants, so here’s my list of suggestions.
  2. Preface: Congratulations are in order, if only for the reason that the second amendment is no longer in danger. We did lose ground, stateside, with Nevada, Washington, and a few others losing ballot initiatives regarding UBC’s and emergency protection orders. There was one state that defied the odds. The dedicated work of the Gun Owners of Maine were able to stop Questionsa 3, otherwise known as Bloomberg’s sponsored universal background checks and that has become our line in the sand. Linked audio commentary regarding the Main law here.  We have come this far, no further. Now it’s our turn to push back.

Green Beret survived 5 years as POW and escaped thanks to his beard

By
248 Shooter
-

During the Vietnam War, there were a certain number of United States Army soldiers who were taken as prisoner. Some of them never returned, while other were an exchange. A small number of them managed to escape on their own. This is the story of Col. James N. “Nick” Rowe who later played a large role in designing the modern training programs for Special Forces soldiers, especially the school that prepares troops to survive being taken captive.

Rowe graduated West Point academy in 1960 and was eventually sent to South Vietnam as a military advisor serving in US Army Special Forces. In 1963, then-1st Lt. Rowe was captured in a Viet Cong ambush and taken to a prison camp under unknown circumstances.

His intimate knowledge of how to survive captivity came from the more than five years he spent as a captive of the Viet Cong before successfully escaping, something he likely wouldn’t have accomplished without his beard.

For five years, Rowe spent most of his time in a cage and wasn’t allowed more than 40 yards from it. Limited to two cans of rice per day, young Special Forces officer and fellow prisoners would capture snakes and rats whenever they could to survive. Before the final escape, Rowe had three unsuccessful attempts.

Things got worse when anti-war activists in the United States released his bio. The problem was that Rowe already told his guards that he was an engineer drafted into the Army. He did that in order to convince his captors that he wasn’t a threat. Despite that, they still tortured them, but the things got worse when the North Vietnamese government learned he was Green Beret.

Angry at his deceit and the training he had provided South Vietnamese soldiers, the North Vietnamese sentenced Rowe to death. A Viet Cong patrol took Rowe into the jungle for the execution. He knew that he had nothing to lose.

As they were heading to the execution point though, Rowe heard a flight of helicopters. He shoved a guard to the ground and sprinted into a nearby clearing, waving his arms to get the pilots’ attention. Luckily for him,

Luckily for him, they were American helicopters, but the first pilot to spot Rowe saw his black pajamas and nearly fired on him. Then he noticed Rowe’s beard that had grown out during his captivity. After realizing that Vietnamese men were incapable of growing a thick beard, the helicopter scooped Rowe up and carried him to safety after he spent five years in hell.

He returned to the United States as a Major. He left the Army for a short period before returning in 1981 as a Lieutenant Colonel stationed at Fort Bragg. There, he helped to develop the Army’s Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Course (SERE) using the lessons he learned in captivity.

His experience led him to the Philippines where he was deployed as the ground forces director for the Joint U.S. Military Advisory group for the Philippines where he provided counterinsurgency training for Philippine forces. And unfortunately, it was his last assignment.

On Apr. 21, 1989, Rowe was on his way to the advisory group headquarters when his vehicle came under heavy fire. He died on the spot.

Upon his comeback from the Viet Cong POW camp, he wrote a book about his experience there, “Five Years to Freedom: The True Story of a Vietnam POW.”

Legacy Coin Company

By
Eric TGL
-

Traditions are generally defined as the transmission of customs from generation to generation and nowhere are these held in higher regard than those born of militaries around the world. Many times throughout history, tradition has given pride to warriors in the face of war and death and helped turn the tide for victory. One such tradition is that of the challenge coin. This is commonly accepted as taking its roots from ancient Rome in which a soldier would be rewarded for superior performance on the battlefield by being gifted a day’s pay and a separate specially minted coin bearing his specific unit’s mark as a bonus. This coin’s meaning would typically prompt the soldier to hold the coin as a memento not to be spent on women and wine. As time went on, the concept of the challenge coin would grow into a large industry around the world in which symbolized respect, honor and brotherhood. One such company helping keep the time-honored tradition alive and strong by providing top quality custom coins is Legacy Coin Company.

Today, the challenge coin is still held in high regard in both military and civilian culture. Everyone from company executives to the President of the United States of America have personalized challenge coins on hand to reward to those whom they hold in right regard or deem worthy of receiving a personal token of respect and appreciation. For the business professional, challenge coins are often exchanged like business cards but with far greater advantage. Coins are unique and interesting, enough so to become great “ice breakers” in social situations. Whereas business cards are often glanced at and readily discarded, people tend to keep and often collect them as a memento of their experience like the Roman solider, who withheld from quickly spending his coin on leisure of the day.

edgecombe-nash-county-narcotics-taskforce

Typically, modern challenge coins are around 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter, and about 1/10-inch thick, but the styles and sizes vary wildly—some even come in unusual shapes like shields, pentagons, arrowheads, and dog tags. The coins are generally made of pewter, copper, or nickel, with a variety of finishes available (some limited edition coins can be found actually plated in gold). The designs can be as simple an engraving of the organization’s insignia and motto or have enamel highlights, multi-dimensional designs, and cut outs.

nash-county-law-enforcement

A little over a year ago, I started seeing some very impressive and professional challenge coins being circulated around the Law Enforcement community honoring fallen officers such as my dear friends lost since my early retirement in 2011, Tarboro Police Officer Charles Johnson and NC Highway Patrol Trooper Gene Demuth. Both these coins were done so beautifully and tastefully that I choked up when I saw them. In researching who created these fitting memorials to my lost brothers in blue, I discovered Legacy Coin Company ( www.legacycoinco.com ). I was somewhat surprised to see the company was located in my boyhood hometown of Red Oak, North Carolina. Interestingly enough, I also learned the company was owned and operated by a former co-worker, Jeremy Guzman. Jeremy was an outstanding patrol officer for Charles Johnson’s former Police Department when I served for the Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office as a Deputy. Having moved on to greener pastures and more success, Jeremy decided to put his efforts into creating a company that holds to the honor and traditions instilled in him by his strong  moral values and experience in Law Enforcement.

Often people are in positions to want challenge coins made for their businesses but don’t know how to go about creating their own. This is where Jeremy’s company comes in to help. Working within the client’s budget, Legacy Coin Co. takes the client supplied design ideas and any artwork they may have, and design a proof to fit client standards and approval.  Legacy then provides accurate pricing that has been shown to be among the most competitive in the industry. .  Often ranging from $400 – $600 per 100 coins, this cost for most companies can even be written off on taxes as advertising. Combined with their production team’s high quality performance, the end results regularly beat those of equally priced products.  Legacy Coin Company takes pride in what they do, and always make sure of complete customer satisfaction. After payment has been made, delivery is usually within three weeks, depending on current workload.  Unlike most companies who ship the finished product in a generic bulk tube, each Legacy coin is individually packaged, and delivered to the client’s door.

When my wife, Candace decided to create a challenge coin as a fund-raiser for the nation’s largest all female not-for-profit firearms organization, The Well Armed Woman Shooting Chapters, she chose Legacy Coin Company. This organization is composed of various chapters in all 50 states headed up by State Leaders such as my wife. Currently there are over 10,000 ladies nationwide donating their time to learn safe firearm handling, NRA approved courses and achieving their goal to equip, educate and empower women worldwide. Over a period of a couple of weeks, the final design for the state of Florida coin was drawn up by Candace, approved by corporate headquarters and into production. Within a couple of weeks, the box containing the first 100 fund-raiser coins arrived at our door and ready for sale. The coins were brilliantly colored and true heirloom quality.

dsc02734

The personal attention and quality received from Legacy Coin Company was top-notch. Immediately seeing the custom coins, it prompted me to start designing a coin for my Swanson Training Group to award future students along with their certificate. Legacy Coin Co has definitely earned my business from now on. The straight forward and quick turnaround of how Legacy Coin Co does business comes highly recommended for any fund-raisers, Police Departments, Private Contractors or Corporate Executives.

Hey Shawn

thanks for having Maj on WLS.  He is educating an underserved community about their rights, and their responsibilities to secure and be safe with firearms, even if they are prohibited persons.  Just cause you caught an F ( a felony) doesn’t mean you are allowed to break basic gun safety rules and endanger others in your vicinity.

I listened to episode 166 and hear everyone’s concern over people carrying “burners”.   Fear not guys, that just means “a firearm” in north Philly.  Doesn’t mean it was stolen/ a drop gun/ or missing serial numbers, it is just a firearm.  I live a few blocks away from there, here are a few more fun examples I have learned.

Jawn- a ‘thing”, a stand in for any noun “These jawns are crazy accurate” (jc arms and ammo), “I went to that Jawn and had a great time” (gun range).  “Ava’s Jawn is sweaty”, (upper lip)

wit- with onions “gimme a cheesesteak wit”

drawlin’- acting strangely; example- see Aaron

Keep up the good work, I never miss a show.

Jeremy, I’m not sure what gets censored on this itunes thing, so go ahead and just insert random expletives as you see fit.Shawn, you know hashtags don’t work in real life right? #PoundSign. Don’t bother Savage about not showing his face. You know he doesn’t want anybody to see him smoking pot and playing video games. Which, by the way, is why his connection is so slow and he sounds like a robot penetrating a light socket. Aaron, I’ll pray for your ‘beetus man, but I don’t know if that works on Jews or not. I think it’s funny how Nick suddenly has no idea what’s happening every time it’s his turn to talk. Ava, keep up the good looks. I mean work.On a serious note, the show is great. You guys each provide a meaningfully unique point of view, and you’re great at sparking thought provoking conversations with your guests. & yoo no i cudn letchu git off dat ez jirumbey!!!1 i betchu thot yoo wuz bout 2 get thru a revue & not git kald gey.

It’s great to have finally found a firearms related podcast that breaks the stereotypical fat, old, white guy image. Of course they do have an old, fat, white guy (aka Aaron) but they also include an openly gay former marine and a transgender woman! The gay guy constantly talks about his boyfriend “Jim” and the tranny has a mustache (total giveaway) but other than that the show is both hilarious and informative!!

My colleagues and I like to listen to podcasts and practice analyzing the hosts. When we found We Like Shooting we expected redneck inbred sister loving hillbillies, we were mostly wrong. It was actually really entertaining and funny, but we still had a job to do, so this is our clinical and professional opinions of each of you; Shawn you suffer from something simple, it is called subtle racism while it is not in the DSM-5, it is what you are suffering from, Aaron is a sociopath, his disregard for the feelings of others, a lack of remorse or shame, and the ability to lie in order to achieve his goals also he is kind of douchy, Savage you suffer from more of a medical problem, have you thought about removing your vocal cords and replacing them with a mans?, Nick you either have C.A.P.D. Central Auditory Processing Disorder, or you are retarded, Ava saw you in some videos to follow up on your voice, we had expected you to be skinny and look like Fran Drescher as your voice reminded us of hers, well even doctors get it wrong sometimes, Jeremy we don’t have enough space or time to go through the list of things we could diagnosis you with, but we are sure the cure would be, just come out of the closet.

BullGator Camo 

By
Eric TGL

Review by Trampas Swanson and Craig Reinolds/Swanson Media Group

In the world as we know it, the human eye quickly recognizes shapes, colors and patterns. In the animal kingdom, nature has a way around our abilities by camouflaging its inhabitants from us and other predators. As a life-long hunter, I have over 30 years in the field searching for a camouflage clothing pattern that offers me the widest range of concealment throughout the various environments my Swanson Media Group team explores. Some are based on hardwoods of the cold northern states, some focus on the long needles of the Carolina and Georgia pines, while others just want to lose the hunter in more moss than a giant sequoia tree could hold. Recently, I have discovered a company who isn’t trying to copy patterns and images of trees and bushes, but instead, focuses on the creatures that are able to disappear seamlessly into any and all of those backgrounds. For those readers who have searched like we have, I would like to introduce you to BullGator Camo, “The Meanest Camo on the Planet!”

Earlier this year, hunter and outdoor writer, Craig Reinolds and I were walking the floor for the 4th day in a row during the firearm industry’s massive SHOT SHOW heading from one meeting to another when we came across the BullGator Outfitters booth. By this time, we had seen enough woodland variations of camo to create a small forest, but without a word, both Craig and I stopped dead in our tracks when we saw the mannequins displayed dressed head to toe in what appeared to be a camo pattern mimicking an alligator’s hide. I quickly said to my business partner, “Craig, I’m not 100% sure what this is yet, but I feel like two ‘ole boys from Florida who love hunting should check this out!” Given our home state is synonymous with all things alligator; this was the first time I had seen it used as camouflage! As we investigated further, Craig and I were met by a very friendly and knowledgeable sales consultant named Trent Ebner. After a great discussion about hunting and discovering this company was now based in Orlando, Florida about 2.5 hours from us, Trent urged me to contact the owner of the company, Tom Martin to find out more about their products.

A few weeks after returning from Las Vegas and recovering from SHOT SHOW, I decided to give Tom a call and find out the story behind this approach to camouflage hunting apparel. Tom and I hit it off right off the bat as two long time hunters usually do. As the story goes, Tom explains, “Our dream is to develop and produce the meanest and most unique camouflage on the planet. Our camouflage is based on the natural patterning of one of America’s pinnacle predators, the American Alligator. The idea for this began some years ago as we became hooked on pursuing the elusive trophy American Alligator during the annual hunting season. During the first few years of gator hunting all of it was done at night by spotlight as the laws of Florida did not allow much daylight hunting. In 2009 and again in 2010 the hunting hours were extended with more daylight hunting, allowing us to spot the gators with binoculars and stalk them similar to how they stalk their prey, which is quite a thrill. One of the most difficult parts to gator hunting though is actually seeing them at all! Whether they’re hiding in the weeds or even out in the middle of the water, they can be almost impossible to see. After a while it hit us, naturally patterned camouflage is already amazing! Why try to improve upon what nature has already created? With that thought BullGator Camouflage, ‘The Meanest camo on the Planet’ was born. “

Eager to see how this alligator camouflage would work in practical application given various environments, Tom and I discussed field testing their hunting apparel in the swamps in which its pattern was born as well as in the mixed hardwoods and pines of eastern NC. Within a couple of weeks, I had 3 full sets of BullGator Camo arriving at the door. The game plan being, Craig and I to field test the camo here in Florida and 50+ year experienced hunter, Rick Swanson to test it in North Carolina. In each set where a short sleeve and long sleeve thin, breathable T-shirt, a button down collared shirt, pair of hunting pants and a BullGator Camo logo hat. With being completely outfitted at that point, we were all set out on our adventures to give this new camo a whirl!

Right out of the gate, Rick Swanson decided to test the BullGator Camo against the eyes of the turkeys of eastern North Carolina. One the very first day of wearing BullGator in the field, Rick called in a pair of large gobblers more interested in fighting over hen decoys than looking for hunters. After watching for a while, Rick pulled the hammer on one of the combatants and ended the fight. As you can see in the photos, the BullGator Camo works well for the birch, pine and oaks of North Carolina. Score one turkey dinner for BullGator Camo!

Over the summer, Craig and I were able to get in a few hog hunts between other outdoor activities such as firearms training and kayaking. Even in the humid Florida mornings, the long sleeve T-shirts and hunting pants were comfortable and breathed well. Craig was fortunate to ambush a group of hogs and come out with a good sized Florida pig. Hunting together, I could see firsthand, the BullGator Camo really blended well into the swamp foliage, deep brown grasses and dark water environment.

Now into the local white tail deer season here in Florida, the hunt is on for venison! Already, the BullGator Camo has been noticed blending well with the cut over forest environment as well as the thick wooded trails flooded by the recent hurricane. The button down BullGator Camo shirt and hunting pants work well with against the briars and cool mornings. As the season moves closer to winter and less foliage in the woods, I am looking forward to how things progress. Stay tuned to further on going adventures with BullGator Camo!

THE NEW UF PRO® MONSOON RAIN SHIRT

By
Eric TGL
-

The ultimate weather protection jacket underneath your body armour or chest rig.

UF PRO introduced today a new addition to their Monsoon waterproof range- the new Monsoon Rain Shirt.

The lightweight, low bulk Monsoon Rain Shirt is specifically designed to be worn underneath the body armour, chest rig or other additional gear.

rain-shirt-plate-carrier

It’s made out of a special laminate mix, which makes the jacket thin, breathable and lightweight where it is covered with gear and very robust and extra durable wherever it is not.

Exposed areas, like shoulders, lower back and sleeves are made out of a robust and durable 3-layer laminate. The rest of the jacket is made out of an extremely lightweight and low bulk 2.5-layer laminate. Both laminates are based on a super breathable and reliably waterproof high-tech membrane.

monsoon-rain-shirt-laminate-mix3For better wear comfort and reduced risk of secondary fragments underneath the body armour, there are no pockets or zipper pullers in the torso area.

In order to avoid the formation of so called “thermal bridges“ between your skin and the outside air, the Monsoon Rain Shirt has built-in air/pac inserts in the shoulder area. These 8mm thick mesh inserts give you the necessary insulation between your skin and the outside temperature and thus prevent cold air to transfer from the outside to your skin.

Due to their 3D foamy structure, the air/pac inserts also distribute the weight of plate carriers or backpacks.

For an unhindered vision and an uncompromised hearing, the jacket has a special integrated hood system called the Hood/Harness. The harness comfortably connects your head to the hood and thus flawlessly follows your head movements, allowing you unhindered vision in extreme weather conditions.

monsoon-rain-shirt-hoodharness

And since there is no strapping needed, the space between your head and the laminate is kept, which keeps the air circulation and doesn’t limit your hearing.

The Monsoon Rain Shirt is available in Brown Grey and in PenCott GreenZone.

The Adventures of the Iron Pipeline: Tracking Your Stolen Guns, Part 2

By
248 Shooter
-

There’s been an update on my adventure with stolen firearms and so I’m passing the furtherance of my information onto you. The vast majority of gun owners, thankfully, haven’t had to experience dealing with the aftermath of stolen firearms and I wish this experience on no owner… It’s a just a heaping slog of frustration.

Back in May I published the first article after doing what I could post theft, dealing with the local law enforcement, and waiting hopefully. In a stroke of luck one of the firearms was recovered! I was notified after being called and left a message referencing one the other two firearms stolen. The phone tag on this took about two weeks to complete.

So for a timeline reference:

Firearms stolen on Feb. 7

Phone tag for police reports occurred over the subsequent days and weeks to correct reports passed on by the police to other agencies, confirm serial numbers, and finalize the theft status.

I was called in July to confirm the status of my stolen rifle. During the couple week phone tag on that account I was notified that one of my pistols had been recovered… That pistol was seized in April… Again I was notified, as an afterthought, in July. I was told agencies would make contact with me when they had custody of the pistol again.

At the end of July I made proactive contact with the agency in custody of the pistol, 130 miles away from its point of theft. Kentwood, MI to Washtenaw, MI. I heard back promptly from the officer thankfully and was given the Washtenaw case number.

The next month was spent trying to get in contact with the case officer, who was being CC the conversation between me and the property officer. The last conversation I had with any agency contacts was at the end of August where I am waiting for Washtenaw to finish their case against the felon found in possession of my handgun, who if my report from the officer in Kent Co. is accurate, is only being charged with Concealed Carry of a Firearm on the choices of the prosecutors office.

So now in October, 8 months into this interesting ordeal, I await information from Washtenaw and/or Kent counties on when I will recover the first of my stolen firearms and still waiting to hear anything on my other two…

Ladies and Gentlemen this is an aggravating process. Made more so because it’s a property crime on your end (lower priority) but a firearms crime on the end of the perpetrator (longer prosecutions, retained evidence, etc.) and then prosecutors discretion. Where was it found? What were those in possession doing? Can they leverage charges to trace it back to the thieves not recipients of the illegal sale… all long, slow, drawn out processes.

So once again, learn from others mistakes. Keep your firearms close because even if they’re found getting them back isn’t quick, easy, or painless.

8 months in. 6 months after it was recovered… And the person who had it illegally is only getting a fraction of the possible charges against them. Yet I am told firearms crimes are a huge problem and we need to do X, Y, and Z to combat them when we don’t use all the laws already on the books to prosecute… Nice… Noted… But of course we need more laws…

Funny story, I found this show by accident, I was looking for something to keep my mind off the death of my wife, and well this did it for me. I guess that wasnt really a funny story, but you know what is funny, this group of knuckle heads. Great content, great humor and tons of info. My favorite has to be Nick, he reminds me of my dead wife’s dog, who I had put down right after she passed, that is a different yet also humorous story, anyhow, it never learned tricks, and pretty much just stared off into space, it would randomly bark and I am pretty sure it ate its own poop. That is what Nick reminds me of.

It is hard to describe the feelings I get when I listen to the We Like Shooting Show. The voices the personalities, I want to give you some examples, I play a game where when I hear Jeremy Snort, burp, cough, sneeze or any of about 1000 bodily noises I make a tick mark on a sheet of white paper, by the end of most shows it looks like just a sheet of graphite, Jeremy, what gives man? I thought gay people were supposed to be all prim and proper. Nick, is there someplace you need to be? It is like all you do is sit around not paying attention, I assume you must be waiting for something more important to happen. Savage, Your voice is like an angel,  if angels died in fire after be stomped on by a group of neo nazies. Speaking of Nazis, your voice Ava makes people want to start the Fourth Reich. Aaron, for someone so fat I am surprised you have any air left in you to interrupt people so often. And Shawn you cool brother. Keep it up, you are the best, except Aaron Fuck him.

AR-15/10 Advanced Tactical Grips

By
248 Shooter
-

December, 2016–Loveland, CO – Hexmag, LLC (www.hexmag.com), maker of the most advanced and versatile AR-15/AR-10 platform magazines on the market, proudly presents two new pistol grips that are excellent for either rifle. Both grips are available in black or flat dark earth and feature upper grip extensions. Check these and our AR magazines out at booth 451 lower level SHOT.

New from Hexmag is the Hexmag Tactical Grip (HTG). This grip features a unique overmolded soft rubber grip surface with finger grooves and a rounded back strap swell similar to many 1911 pistols. The HTG also comes with the innovative GapperTM which fills the space between the trigger guard and grip for increased comfort.

The HTG allows for a fuller and firmer grip squeeze – or purchase and is an excellent choice for most shooters. Its grip well is also hollow so backup items such as batteries, ear plugs, and a number of after-market accessories can be inserted inside for long term backup.

MSRP: $34.99

“The versatility that each of these grips provides to our customers ensures that whether in the field or at the range, Hexmag has affordable options that get the job done.”–Says Dave Smith, Marketing Director.


The Hexmag Advanced Tactical Grip (ATG) is designed for competition and shooters with special needs/requirements. This patented and easily-installed grip allows shooter to adjust the grip angle by several degrees to accommodate different preferences, hand sizes and/or shooting positions.

Installing the ATG on an AR-15/10 platform is a five-minute task that can be done without machining or special fitting. After installation, the grip angle can be easily adjusted from the standard to 17, 25 or 33 degrees takes in just a few seconds: loosen the grip well screw, move the grip to the desired position, then re tighten the screw and it will stay locked in position.

MSRP: $27.99

Hexmag grips, magazines and accessories are made in the USA and come with Hexmag’s Lifetime Warranty!

Be sure to drop by Booth 451 lower level at this year’s SHOT Show, meet the Hexmag team and check out their new line of AR magazines and other gear for serious shooters.
