In an industry obsessed with innovation, one company delivering one of the most ground-breaking products in the past decade has been Law Tactical.

To learn “what happened to the M16 in Vietnam,” it’s hard to think of someone better to ask than Chris Bartocci at Small Arms Solutions.

With Magpul celebrating its 20th anniversary, it’s a great time to touch base with Duane Liptak, Executive Vice President of Magpul. We discuss how the company has helped push the AR forward, Duane’s background, his role at the NRA, and his favorite AR builds.
We recently reached out to Alex Hartmann at Ridgeline to talk about the basics of the SPR or Special Purpose Rifle…however we also wanted him to help us create a “hard-use AR-15 buyer’s guide.” Let’s say you’re building or buying a reliable carbine to attend multiple day training courses, or a rifle you might need to bet your life on in a home defense situation. What basic factors should you consider on that rifle?

Professional 3-Gun competitor Joe Farewell left the relative comfort of a full-time job in law enforcement to pursue a career in training and 3-Gun competition.

He is also involved with sales at one of the world’s greatest firearms manufacturers, Knight’s Armament.

This past weekend, a very special semi-auto precision rifle match was held in Blakely, Georgia.
