Classic Insights - General

We have been talking a lot lately about home defense weapons. Times are uncertain and there are a lot of unknowns that American citizens face now like never before. In addition to the unknowns that we obviously face, we are also facing a new Executive Administration in Washington, DC. Who knows, with so many more pressing issues to deal with by the Government, maybe they will leave gun laws alone, at least for a little while anyway.

Have you purchased a firearm lately? If you purchased a firearm before 2020 and then again in 2020, you have probably noticed the difference in ATF Form 4473. Don't panic, it doesn't ask for your firstborn or anything like.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

There is no such thing as a NATO bullet per se. It is not a unique caliber or different powder load, and it is not made to fit a "NATO" rifle. NATO came together as an alliance and chose to select a set of standards that allowed the armed forces of the countries represented in NATO to function as one force. Of the sets of standards, one of the most important decisions made was in the selection of ammunition that could be transitional for "one force".

Even though I love surplus firearms and mil-surp, I feel that the name is a little misleading. Surplus sounds like old raggedy handguns or rifles filled with loose nuts and bolts that you are going to have to work on or rebuild. That is so far from the truth though!

A simple dust cover like the one shown serves to protect your AR-style rifle from dust, dirt, and other debris in the air. The dust cover is essentially a stamped metal flap on a spring-loaded hinge (although machined billet aluminum is available today as well).

Much like bore sizes that allow for different calibers of pistols and rifles, different bore sizes in shotguns gives us the term gauge as a means of measurement when selecting a shotgun and the appropriate ammunition for it.

Brother against brother. That's the type of reaction that you will get anytime the subject of dry-firing comes up. Some of us baby our firearms, yes us meaning some of you and myself, while others want to achieve the highest potential results that their firearm has to offer.

Even though my answer may seem a little juvenile and even open-ended, I'm gonna say that a good definition for what an AR-15 magazine is will be any magazine that fits into an AR-15 lower receiver.

So, the short answer to what the PDW in an AR-15 PDW means is that it's an AR-15 personal defense weapon. The theory of human evolution says that there is a missing link between a caveman and a modern man.
