    Some machine shop goodness from LaRue Tactical: Some of you might find this type of thing boring.  I really like machining and automation, espeically when it’s firearm or clothing related.

This serrated pattern is designed for maximum heat dissipation used in Hi-tech heat exchangers. AR-fins are…

    I was sent this today from Bushmaster: Drake from Magpul dumps 10 rounds with the 14.5″, then proceeds to switch it out for the 10.5″  barrel in no time flat and shoots 10 more.
