3D Printed Guns

Image
Introduction:  3D printing opened up opportunities for hobbyists to develop and create whatever they wanted. The technology has evolved and progressed to include things such as carbon-fiber impregnated polymers, metal inserts, and UV resin. 3D printing technology has expanded to the field of firearms.In fact, there is now an entire subculture of the gun community dedicated to the progression and development of 3D printed firearms. I'm going to do my best to give a brief overview of the really interesting things that have come out of the 3D printed gun community, as well as go into some of the controversy surrounding 3D printed firearms and what they mean for the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Details: 3D printed firearms tend to come in a couple variations. First, there are the firearms that have 3D printed components, but incorporate many different crucial firearm components that aren't regulated in many instances. This would include, for example, 3D printed glock frames th...

My Arsenal SLR-106

Introduction: I first talked about my SLR-106 in my post about the AK-100 Series of rifles. Because the SLR-106 is essentially a Bulgarian clone of the AK-101, it fit the bill nicely. But in that post, my rifle was completely stock and how I got it from my local gun shop. That has changed a bit since then. I've been slowly accumulating gear in preparation to take a rifle course, so a solid portion of my budget has gone into making my rifle what I want. I had a couple of hiccups along the way in terms of getting everything set up, so I'm going to go into that a bit here, while also just telling you about how I have things set up. Red Dot and Mount: One of the biggest things I wanted to do with my rifle was utilize some kind of a red dot. Unfortunately for me, the particular rifle I bought had a canted front sight. It's not too severe, but I figured that a red dot would be an easy, effective way to shoot the rifle accurately. There was only one problem with this,...

My Everyday Carry

Image
Introduction: Today I'm going to do a breakdown of the stuff that I carry on a day-to-day basis. Because I already went into detail on the gun that I carry, I'm going to focus on thing like the holster and ammo that I utilize. I am also going to talk about the knife I carry, my wallet, and the grips I put on my pistol. I really don't carry too much stuff, especially compared to some other people online, who look like they're preparing for war every time the go get gas. There are also some things that I'm probably missing, such as some basic medical supplies like a tourniquet. There's more than one way to protect your life, and some basic medical knowledge is a place I have room for improvement on. Anyway, first I'm going to look into the biggest, most obvious part of my EDC, the gun/holster. The Holster/Grips The holster I chose for my EDC is an ANR Design , kydex holster. It is built to be worn appendix, and has an added claw to aid in concealme...

American Militia Movements

There have long been everyday citizens willing to take up arms against a government that they deem unfit to rule. In modern times, militia movements have ebbed and flowed in membership numbers, with right-wing militias seeing a spike in membership after the election of Barack Obama, and left-wing militias seeing a similar spike after Trump's election. Right Wing Militias: Right-wing militias are much more numerous than left-wing militias due largely in part due to the fact that people that lean to the right tend to be pro-gun. Traditionally, right-wing militias have been anti-government groups that align with libertarian or anarcho-capitalist ideals. This, however has changed under Trump for some odd reason. More and more, armed right-wing gro...
