Special note: Some minor audio issues with the popping since the wind was very high that day. 20+ mph. So this is a chapter 2 video to the original, “Suppressor Over-gasses AR-10”. The owner of the rifle has installed an adjustable gas-block which has given him the ability to control bolt speed. Additionally, while trying to diagnose the issue, he …
The Coyote Wars
Mike shares with us one of his recent Coyote culls. He doesn’t allow most pics to be published. But trust me, he is slaying these bad boys. The numbers they are pulling down just since the first of the year are impressive. But the hippies don’t want to know details, so the PD keeps it quiet. —Editor. Officer …
Zeroing Thermal Scope With Hand-Warmer
Watching Doc and guest zero their pig guns. This shooter is setup with a thermal scope since most pig hunting is done at night. I have zero experience with thermal and night vision so I thought the hand-warmer thing was a neat trick. Marky www.John1911.com “Shooting Guns & Having Fun”

My Zeiss Compromise
Now I know this headline seems a little like click-bait. But I assure you it’s not. Hear me out. I have been in the professional or semi-professional gun-game since the early 1990’s. And I have seen a lot of things come and go. But one thing that always seemed like a constant was big-money spent on spotting scopes that ONLY …

Carry Your Precision Rifles
Without casting any stones, I just want to make a pretty basic but often overlooked point: It doesn’t matter if your rifle is green, or “tactical”, or has a DOD model name assigned to it. If you don’t ever carry your precision rig, it’s a bench-rest rifle. And you are a bench rest shooter. And there is absolutely nothing wrong …
Mossberg 185D
So while visiting Shooters Supply I saw a goofy shotgun that I would have bought. Should have bought. Which I could’ve bought! If it hadn’t already been spoken for. A bolt-action shotgun. You read that right. And it gets better. With…a detachable, box magazine. Specifically the Mossberg Model 185D. It’s a nifty 20 gauge, bolt-action shotgun. Probably not something that …

Deer Stand From Heaven
While checking trails on the property last week, the sun just happened to glint off a red object to my right. It looked like a pipe. Upon further inspection it turns out to be an old deer stand that had fallen during the last storm. Which is why I was checking trails…looking for downed trees. It seems this stand has …
