Shooting the JP CTR-02 was an eye opener as to just how nice a finely tuned and gas fed AR-15 can shoot. The trigger was amazing. The muzzle break did its job really well as there was virtually no recoil. You could easily keep sight picture and watch the bullet impact. The action working felt unbelievably smooth. This was the nicest shooting AR type rifle I’ve ever shot. The rifle has a Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gun sight with the JP custom reticle mounted on it. While we didn’t get a chance to really put the reticle through it’s paces we liked what we saw while shooting the gun. Check out the JP website.

Check out this video of the Bighorn Armory 500 S&W Mag on Media Day. The recoil is surprisingly mild. Bighorn Armory website.

Although the Magpul backup folding sights weren’t new for the 2010 SHOT Show they are still a fairly new product and if you haven’t seen them they are worth looking at. We were impressed. The best part about them is the price point. They are relatively inexpensive compared to other brands. The AFG-1 Angled Fore Grip is new and we liked it. It was completely designed with shooter ergonomics in mind.

American Tactical California King
This is a California legal AR-15. Although we don’t live in California we can see why this would be a great product for someone who does. The California King allows for fast reloads while still keeping you legal. The rifle comes with a Adams Arms Piston system. This rifle is priced right! Heres a link to ATI’s Site.

How to Build or Rebarrel a Savage Rifle
I recently had the pleasurable experience of building my own custom target/long range rifle. Perhaps the most impressive part of my rifle is that it cost considerably less to build than buying a new Remington Sendero from Cabelas. Depending on what you want to do with the rifle it might cost a lot less.

5 Round Accurate Mag magazine .308 for DBM
Aftermarket detachable bottom metal for bolt actions has become more and more popular over the last few years. Many different manufactures now make them. The most popular aftermarket DBM (Detachable Bottom Metal) systems use Accuracy International (AI) magazines. For a long time AI mags were the only ones available to fit your rifle if you had this style of DBM system. AI mags are excellent and reliable magazines, but a little spendy.
BML Tool & Mfg Corporation is a large manufacture of OEM firearms parts and accessories. They make parts and pieces for large gun companies and the military. They own and control Accurate Mag, an OEM magazine manufacturing facility. Accurate Mag is producing state-of-the-art magazines that fit the AI mag footprint. As an interesting side-note, Accurate Mag is the OEM manufacture for the Savage magazines used in the Savage 10 BAS-K, 10 BAT/S-K, and the Savage 110 BA.
The most popular Accurate Mag is the one designed to fit the .308. We tested a 5 rounder and it is tough and reliable. We can wholeheartedly recommend these mags.
