We remember...

Eleven years ago today 17 Sailors were killed and multiple others injured when the USS Cole was bombed in Aden, Yemen.

Good evening,

In a continuing effort to get traffic to the site and "followers" so I can start legitimate reviews of gear and guns I am going to start a contest.  I know currently there are only a few followers to this site.  For each follower current and new I will be starting a tally.  Here is the contest:

1.) Convince your friends, family, other people to come to the site and "follow" the blog.
2.) When they follow, have the submit a comment to weaponsandstuff@gmail.com with who referred them to the website.
3.) At the end of next week (Friday October21st) the person with the most referrals will win a prize.  Prize will be weapons an gear related.  Not sure of exactly what item will be yet, but it will be posted as soon as I decide.

Please help me out.  Trying to get this site noticed.  Your help is one way I can do that.

Don't forget to have our new members enter the contest too!!! (Although that would decrease your odds of winning!)  Hahahaha.

UTG Tactical Bipod **Range Test**

Good news!!  Range test went well and the review of the UTG Tactical Bipod can now be completed!

I went today and set up a 25 yard range at my cousins farm to test a few new items.  The main item I went to test was the UTG Tactical Bipod that was reviewed a few days ago.  (UTG Bipod Review)  The initial review for this product was great.  I felt that it was solidly built, well packaged, and very easy to install.  As for the range test here are my findings:


  • The UTG Tactical Bipod was very sturdy and performed well on multiple rifle caliber's.
  • I utilized it first on my rebuilt Mosin Nagant with ATI Synthetic stock and RedHead Scope.  It worked very well and every shot was within an 1" circle on center target once the new scope was sighted in.  (Grade A+)
  • Secondly I attached it to the rail on my AR-15 to sight in the Nikon M-223 scope and to test the bipod.  I performed the sight-in and then performed two, 10 round volleys of shots into two separate targets.  They were all within around a 1/2" circle with one errant shot left (operator error)
This UTG Tactical Bipod performed very well on two fairly high caliber rifle's.  I know I didn't shoot 100+ rounds, and it was only 25 yards, but it withstood the dirt, sticks, debris and all shots without any failure or issue.  If any issues arise I will be sure to follow up with an update.  I will say that for $30, you cannot beat the quality and build of this bipod for two of my favorite rifles.

Well, tomorrow is range day.  Finally out to test the UTG Bipod, RedHead Scope, Nikon M-223 Scope, and the rebuilt Mosin Nagant!

I normally head down to C2 Shooting Center in Virginia Beach, VA (Pungo).  However, tomorrow I am being afforded the opportunity to go to my cousin's 110 acre farm in North Carolina and have some fun on our own terms and range.

I will probably end up at 25 yards to start, then 50, and eventually I will work my way out to 100 and see how the scopes handle the change.  I think I make take my G17 with me for a little bit of fun, but who knows.  We shall see what happens.

So, if you are interested standby for the review wrap-up for the UTG Tactical Bipod.  I will also post a review on the two scopes and see how the ATI synthetic Mosin stock works out.

Hope you all have a good night.  I will continue to write in hopes of getting more support.  For those that currently follow, thank you!

Good afternoon everyone!

While thinking of what to use for a topic today I was kindly welcomed at my door with a few packages from UPS.  I order quite a bit of stuff online so it is always a surprise as to what I receive on which day.  But today....IT WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS!!!  So I have written a few things about the new items and added some pictures of them all installed on their respective weapons.

I received three items I had ordered for the rebuild of my M91/30 Mosin Nagant.  Here is what I received:

     - ATI Products Synthetic Monte Carlo replacement stock
     - Mosin Nagant weaver rail sight replacement
     - RedHead Epic 3-9x40mm scope

And that was just the first box!!!  Finally I can take apart and rebuild my Mosin.  For those who wonder why, I am just doing it merely for personal enjoyment.  I will be refinishing the Mosin original wood stock to give it a more polished look.  Maybe someday I will post the step by step of this rebuild.  There are a few things from this rebuild that I would like to share.

1.) The ATI Monte Carlo replacement stock is very well built and very solid.  The only complaints I have are that the cheek weld is a bit pointed.  And for left-handed shooters, it is on the wrong side.  Second complaint is that there is quite a bit of work and grinding needed to allow the barrel assembly, and internal magazine assembly to fit correctly.
2.) The Mosin Nagant weaver rail sight replacement I got was a real pain.  It did not fit as it should have.  I had to get out the Dremel and grind it down to make it fit.  I will research getting a different one in the very near future.

3.) The Red Head scope is awesome.  I will be range testing it along with the bipod in my other review this weekend.  I will post something on how it turned out.

So, after the enjoyment of the first box, the second box had some more goodies I have been waiting for approximated 2 weeks.  Inside was a NC Star quick release 1" scope mount, and a Nikon M-223 Precision AR Optic.

- The NC Star quick release mount seems very solid and was extremely easy to install.
 
- The Nikon M-223 scope is engineered for the 55 grain, .223 Remington/5.56 cartridge.  It features 4 inches of eye relief and boosts light transmission to a theoretical 95%.
Once again this will be tested on Friday at the range with all the other toys.  A        further review will follow.
