Faxon Firearms has just introduced a new adjustable, low-profile gas block meant for direct-gas-impingement AR-15-pattern firearms. Faxon’s new design stands out with a uniquely positioned gas-adjustment screw and a mechanism that prevents both fouling and seizing from carbon residue by maintaining some space between the screw and the gas port itself. This system is meant to make life easier for shooters of both suppressed and unsuppressed firearms. To fine-tune the adjustment, the new Faxon adjustable gas block offers 14 different tactile and detent settings, from fully open to fully closed. The Faxon Adjustable Gas Block allows shooters to fine-tune gas…

By Will Dabbs, MD Most human pursuits have their own dedicated lexicon. As an example, sweating is what normal people do when they get overheated or meet someone they find attractive. For a plumber, however, sweating is a means of joining two pieces of pipe. The gun world is awash to its gunwales in similarly quirky confusing terminology. For those of us who live in this world, these terms are familiar and comfortable. Anyone just dipping their toes into the sport, however, could find the unique jargon of the firearms world overwhelming. The term we shall tackle today is semi-automatic.…

Catch a glimpse of the latest Justin Lundquist production design, coming out this time via Bestech. The Vestige delivers a thoroughly modern vision of some very classic traditional knife tropes, and is one of the biggest designs yet from Lundquist to boot. Although it’s hard to believe that it has already been SEVEN years since Lundquist’s first collaboration, the Kizer Feist, debuted. That was a little knife that made a big splash, with its ultra-clean design and appealing profile – not to mention the front flipper: the Feist may well have inaugurated the first wave of enthusiasm for that particular…

We cover a lot of Boker stuff here, most of it from the highly prolific company’s range Boker Plus line – but Boker also has an entry-level label called Magnum, which gets its own slew of releases alongside its bigger brother. Case in point, the brand new Empery. From start to finish, “elegance” seems to have been the watchword with the Empery. This is an in-house effort, and the Magnum design team started with one of the most innately handsome of blade shapes, the drop point, embellished it here with a very long harpoon swedge that, perhaps due to that…

For model year 2025, Chevrolet added the Trail Boss package as an option for the 2500-class Silverado Heavy Duty. Similar to the 1500 Silverado, the 2500 Trail Boss includes Z71 suspension upgrades, blacked-out bumpers with red recovery hooks, and 20-inch wheels shod in all-terrain tires. A gas V8 comes standard, but the torque-monster Duramax diesel adds towing capacity. This helps the Trail Boss slot in as a somewhat rugged pickup that doesn’t cost or weigh quite as much as the top-spec ZR2 or Bison. I recently spent a week with the diesel Trail Boss, logging plenty of miles in Los…

We have many blessings in this country, not least of which is our Constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms. At times, the toolbox from which we draw to exercise and defend this right overflows with options. Exhibit A: the ever-growing crop of modular rifles. This bounty can be overwhelming when so many manufacturers claim to offer a one-size-fits-all rifle solution. Primary Weapons Systems has introduced its new UXR in hopes of standing out above the competition. The UXR shares several characteristics with other 21st-century semi-automatic-rifle designs. Its streamlined profile blends aluminum, steel and polymer. The rifle functions with…

Synonymous with racing Jaguars, the company won the World Sportscar Championship multiple times and took home multiple wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 24 Hours of Daytona. The partnership was so strong that TWR started developing Jaguar road cars — first an XJ-S and later the iconic Jaguar XJ220. It’s been a few years, but now the name is back. With Tom’s son…

After successfully suppressing the M2A1 and M2A2 .50cal Machine Guns, RD (Radical Defense) began pursuing the next evolution of the original 50 FVS suppressor. The design intent was a modular, more streamlined, lower weight, higher flow suppressor with a reduced form factor. What followed was the 50 GPS (General Purpose Suppressor) Program. 50 GPS utilizes one suppressor with multiple mounting options via taper lock mount muzzle devices. Each muzzle device is designed with specific internal geometries and thread pitches per use on each intended weaponsystem while using the same, standard external geometries; for example,making the same suppressor useable on a…

Genesis now has 60 standalone dealerships in the U.S., an impressive feat considering it’s only been a standalone brand for less than a decade and has only been creating standalone dealerships for 3 years.
