What You Need to Build an AR-15

Purchasing a factory AR-15/MSR certainly satisfies your need for instant gratification. Perhaps you are new to the black rifle world and intimidated by the seemingly never-ending array of choices on lowers, uppers and parts that buying stock just seems easier. However, building your own AR-15 rifle satisfies in the long term. To start, you will need a lower receiver. The lower receiver is the part of the gun that makes it a gun and comes with a serial number. For your first entry-lever AR-15 build, the Del-Ton stripped lower will handle hundreds of thousands of rounds.

The Ultimate Long-range Shooting Accessory

DIY Gun Storage

Part of being a responsible gun owner is securing your firearms from people who are not authorized to use them, criminals and children being your top priorities. One way to stash your handguns is to repurpose items found at the big box stores, many pieces of furniture or decorative items have storage. A family with a very active, curious and wandering toddler did just that. Not having the money to invest in a quality biometric safe, an unused photo frame jewelry box became storage for their handguns and ammo.

Resilience and Building the Survivor Mindset

As someone with a survivalist mindset, you believe you have all the gear you need to survive an emergency or disaster.

What Is Length of Pull and Why Does It Matter?

One thing that is often over looked when introducing a new shooter to long-guns is the rifle or shotgun’s length of pull. The length of pull or LOP is the distance from the middle of the trigger to the end of the gun’s buttstock. It is one of the most important aspects of a gun’s dimensions and determines whether the gun will fit you. Meaning how comfortable the gun feels to you and how accurate you can shoot it. With the correct length of pull, you will have quick sight acquisition, better control, better accuracy, and feel more comfortable.
