AR15/M4/M16 Generalized Maintenance, Cleaning and Lubrication
I have noticed several questions on the forum recently focused on lubrication and maintenance of the carbine. So, I thought I’d post some generalized guidelines for maintenance, cleaning and lubrication. If followed, these guidelines will keep your carbine functioning optimally with minimum time expenditure. The AR15/M4/M16 family of firearms has gotten a poor reputation due to the [...]

Umarex .22LR H&K look-alike… and it’s licensed
I wrote a blog about the lawsuit H&K filed against ATI a while ago where ATI was determined to be infringing on H&K’s design by importing their GSG-5 .22LR H&K clone. Well, it looks like there is an alternative on the market and this time it’s licensed by H&K. The Umarex rifles come in clones [...]

In a typical year Americans buy between 7 and 10 billion rounds of ammunition. In the past year they have bought 12 billion rounds. It’s no secret that ammo is flying off store shelves faster than factories can produce it but it’s nice to see a number put on the hoarding. That equals about 150 [...]
