I saw this in my local gun shop a while back. And on paper I should be hating everything about it. But I have to confess, there was something endearing about this Stoeger SxS. It was light. Handy.

Custom MAS-36 Rifle Idlib, Syria
This was posted on Twitter by a UK based account called Calibre Obscura. And I have to say, this is amazing. This a French MAS-36 rifle originally chambered in 7.5 French. The poster theorizes this furniture is 3D printed and the barrel has been converted to 7.62 NATO. I would buy this all day. The furniture. The barrel. All of …

POTD – Knocking the Stupid Off
Knocking the stupid off my gun. This has been on my CCW for a few weeks since I’ve been too busy to take it off. Did I change my mind? Nope. Still stupid. Has to be in the running as one of the dumbest products ever put on a pistol. Sincerely, Marky www.John1911.com “Shooting Guns & Having Fun”
