Choosing a caliber outside of the infinite, logistically supported 5.56×45 NATO cartridge choice on an AR-15 platform took a leap for me. Many of the subscribers to The Channel may be familiar with my 25 plus years on the platform and the often touting of mil-spec standards or better, “time proven” and “tested” systems, as well as […]
The lineage of the 5.45 x 39mm rifle round that is commonly found in the AK-74 rifles all around the world can in a weird way trace its lineage back to the 5.56 x 45mm that NATO and the United States Military uses. Way back in the 1950’s what was then known as the Soviet Union had […]
On 3 August, 2017 the US Army released a solicitation for the purchase of an Interim Combat Service Rifle. chambered in 7.62mm NATO. This rifle could ultimately replace the M-4 carbines in combat service. SOCOM has previously fielded the SCAR Heavy in this role.

Building vs Unboxing AR-15 builders are a little nuts. And I am one. We obsess over each build, the nuances of each part, and no rifle is ever complete.

The M16/M4 rifle platform, long the standard for the US Army and Marine Corps, could soon be set aside, as officials in both service branches are looking at new options for both weapons and ammunition. Army researchers are reportedly looking at six different types of ammunition of “intermediate calibers,” according to Army Times. Those calibers […]
There has been long running debate over which is the most effective round and what our ground troops should be using, 5.56mm x 45, or 6.8mm x 43 SPC. Well, for me, that’s a no brainer – 6.8mm of course. Why? Because of its terminal effects! In layman’s terms terminal ballistics is how the projectile […]
Every precision shooter should have a well-kept data book. If you are serious about long-range precision shooting, your D.O.P.E is something that rarely leaves your rifle—they go hand-in-hand. I know that technology has somewhat taken over what we used to do, and some consider paper and pen “old school,” but I’m a firm believer in […]
