Powder River Precision (PRP) has built its reputation largely on its interpretation of the patent-expired 10/22 receiver. Fine machining, close tolerances, premium materials and repositioning of the guide rod atop the receiver rather than along the side (called Top Line technology) has made the receiver an object of lust for anyone doing a custom 10/22 build. The Rubicon receiver is fabricated from 6061 barstock aluminum. The bolt is made from barstock stainless steel. The gun incorporates a cylindrical firing pin, and PRP takes pride in the fact the extractor is wire-EDM cut instead of merely being stamped. Similarly, the control…

Clay’s primary role is as Digital…

Modern battlefields are defined by speed and saturation. Small unmanned aircraft systems can swarm by the hundreds, overwhelming defenses and striking before human decision loops close. Without effective counter-UAS systems, air defense operators face more targets than they can track or defeat, leaving U.S. forces vulnerable. Current command and control systems weren’t built for this fight — they can’t process data or execute kill-chain decisions at the speed required to stop autonomous, distributed attacks. To meet this challenge, the Army has selected Anduril Industries for the Integrated Battle Command System Maneuver (IBCS-M) program, establishing Lattice as the Army’s next-generation fire…

You enter a small city situated in the interior of a mountainous region. Crossing a bridge, you begin to examine the architecture of a town that grew due to the quiet presence of organized crime. The city was something of a hideout, a sanctuary, where the locals benefited from the bosses, products, and people who flowed through. As you open your vehicle door, the heat assaults you with its presence. The sun feels like it’s 5 feet away at times. The smell of industry permeates the air as you enter the building, blending the flash and whir of 21st century…

There are knives, good knives, great knives, and classic knives. Then there are the knives that are flat-out legends with remarkable stories behind them. One of these is the instantly recognizable Puma White Hunter that redefined the hunting knife. On a rainy afternoon many years ago I was killing time by switching on the telly and watching the 1965 feature The Sands of the Kalahari. It was an entertaining enough survival drama, but what really caught my eye was the fixed-blade knife that the big game hunter played by Stuart Whitman was carrying. It looked nothing like any other blade,…

Back in the 2000s, I had a persistent obsession with the Spyderco Wegner CX11 Mouse. This baby brother to the larger Wegner design featured in ads and was sometimes seen on the forums back then. As a fan of the C48 Tim Wegner design, I really wanted to chase down this charming lil’ big folder. Alas, they were never easy to find – especially from my spot in the world. However, if you want something bad enough, it’ll flow towards you later in life. Around that same time in the 2000s, I got to know a new friend en fellow…
