5 Reasons to buy “Made In USA” Firearms Products

5 Reasons to buy “Made In USA” Firearms Products   Why buying American made firearms products matters: Since the Pandemic there has been a bigger movement to get our manufacturing back to the United States. We rely on overseas goods too much! When I shop online, there’s no mistaking it: the products look cheap and inferior! Companies like Amazon that are notorious for cramming inferior foreign made products down our throats have no shame in order to make a buck. The reason for this is because so many companies now produce their goods overseas in countries with lower costs like China. The quality suffers when they do not have regulations to protect them from poor working conditions which means any problems will get fixed by outsourcing instead of fixing on-site at home–which often leads me back here again every time American Made means Jobs Here In 2020 Americans spent billions of dollars on the firearms industry. Much of it was fueled by the Pandemic. That’s why buying Americ...

Magpul MS3 Sling used in Oblivion

Magpul MS3 Sling used in Oblivion The Magpul MS3 Sling used in Oblivion Yesterday, I watched a sci-fi movie from 2013 called Oblivion. In the movie, Tom Cruise plays a role of Jack Harper, Tech 49.  Set in the year 2077 (Not too many years from now), Earth has been devastated by an alien invasion. In the film, Jack’s job is to repair and maintain combat drones. He carries this futuristic Bushmaster ACR throughout most of the film. There is some debate about the color of the rifle being white the color is GREY.  I mean why would he be running around with a white rifle in a white leather jacket? Not very tactical Jack! At least in the film they chose to go with a one point configuration on the sling instead of a two point. The movie studio had to make his situation somewhat believable. Futuristic Bushmaster ACR VS the current Bushmaster ACR The Bushmaster rifle in the film is also customized with a grey Magpul MS-3 Sling. They painted the Paraclips grey in the movie. The...

Why you won’t find Cobratec on Amazon Cobratec on Amazon – Read this first before you buy an OTF Knife What I will address here is why you won’t find Cobratec on Amazon. Also, major brands like Benchmade and Microtec with automatic OTF knives in their lineup will not be found either.  What you will find are generic OTF knives from China but buyer beware! They all come from fly by night sellers who advertise them as folding knives. They do this to get around Amazon’s rules for automatic knives. They have a huge list of prohibited items that are not allowed to be sold on the site and that includes items that are in fulfillment centers nationwide. The picture below is a great example of a Chinese OTF being sold on Amazon as a folding knife. The free delivery date suggests that the knife is coming from China. I am writing this article August 17,2021 to be clear.  The seller Kesoud LLC is also a great way to tell that the seller is from China and the knife itself sourced from a...

The Castration Blade – Getting to know this OTF knife   Getting to know this OTF knife The Castration blade is a type of blade that not a lot of people know about or care enough about really to own a knife with a blade that has a bad rap. The origin of the term “castration blade” is related to the surgical procedure (castration) as well as the knife’s shape or profile. This type of blade has a long history of being known for use on humans too. Castration was often used for religious or social reasons in some cultures such as Europe, south and east Asia, and Africa. In some cases, after battles winners sometimes castrated their defeated enemies to represent their victory. It was used as practice to end opposing male lineages and to allow the victor to possess the defeated group’s women. Nothing says we kicked your butt like chopping off your manhood. In ancient times, castration often involved emasculation or the total removal of all the male genitalia. This involved great dan...
