AK-47 Radio Show 011 – History of the Gun: Berdan II

We’re back with EP 2, Lead Times and What Do They Mean Exactly. Cole and Lawayne break down the question they hear every day: what does “in stock” actually mean when you’re dealing with custom barrels, actions, twists, contours, and carbon length restrictions. We walk through why you cannot realistically stock every possible combination, how stainless and carbon lead times differ, and why being flexible on comparable options can cut weeks or months off your build. We also cover specialty barrel timelines (and why planning ahead matters), how action choices like bolt face, left hand, and ARC add time fast, and the simple truth behind lead times: they move with suppliers, tooling, and workload. If you want something sooner, call in and let the team work the options with you.

We’re kicking off EP 1 with a simple goal: put a face and a voice to the person most of you talk to first. Cole sits down with Lawayne Snow to explain who he is, where he came from, and how Straight Jacket is trying to do things differently with customer service, QC, and problem solving. We get into why “call us first” saves you time, money, and frustration, plus the real world issues they hear every week like headspace confusion, bedding mistakes, tolerance stacking between stock, action, rail, rings, and optic, and the small setup problems that waste hundreds of rounds fast. Lane breaks down what he asks on the phone, how their QC sheet helps diagnose issues at home, and why the shop would rather help you fix it without shipping anything back.

This week on the Acceptable Accuracy Podcast, hosts Philip and Tyler dive into the lighter side of firearms culture with a Christmas twist! We’re sharing hilarious, over-the-top gift ideas for every type of stereotypical gun enthusiast on your list—from the "Tactical Timmy" to the "Gun Amish". Expect laughs, eye-rolls, and maybe a few “actually, that’s genius” moments as we explore the perfect presents for shooters of all stripes.

On this episode of AK-47 Radio we launch our once monthly series on the history of the Gun; you know what gun. That gun! The Gun! Starting off easy with a brief touch on the Berdan II series of rifles, with mild tangents into the disasterous results of Tsarist serfdom and the usual gear chat, all tempered with the reeeee factor you expect!

Double Tap Episode 440 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Mitchell Defense, Night Fision, Second Call Defense, Rost Martin, and Swampfox Optics   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 440! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews. +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Operative Enthalpy - Dear WLSWhat are your thoughts on a tunable gas block, like the one from Odin Works, versus a standard gas block, or an adjustable gas block. Is it a solution looking for a problem that should be solved by having a proper gas port size in your barrel, or is it a somewhat valuable option for tuning a range or hunting gun to function smoothly for general operating conditions.Operative Enthalpy Anonymous Coward from GA - Do you think the top part of a mermaid also tastes like fish or that it would actually be red meat? Would there be a solid line where the meat changes in their body or would it kind of blend? Could you make a surf and turf platter with one carcass? Fisher Cat - Hey guys, was thinking of getting a shotgun. In your opinion should I get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500? Both of them are at my LGS for $400 and I’m torn between which would be better for home defense and hunting. Also, would a shotgun be a good weapon to have in an event where society collapses? Thanks keep up the good fight #ssb#ShootStraight Gaston Glock - Is the aftermarket beaver tail for Glocks to adjust the grip angle to be more like a 1911 a gimmick or would it actually be something to consider if you like how a 1911 feels in your hand. Zac C - Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on what I went with for my son’s first real gun for his 13th birthday. Went with the ruger American gen 2 .243 20” barrel partly because of the removable LOP on the stock, then when he’s bigger he can still use it as a full size gun. Added an sig buckmaster 3x9 that my brother got him paired with some leupold rings. Thanks for the opinions that I might hear before his next birthday. Shute str8 notes in 90-120 business days Scott G - I noticed we don’t talk about Brownells anymore. Are they no longer a sponsor? Matt A - 2 questions…I have a comp’d g43x and am thinking about changing out the guide rod and spring to a lighter weight than the 17# oem spring. Is the a difference or an advantage in using a single spring guide rod set vs dual spring sets? Ammo used is defensive 124 gr jhp. In regards to ammo, what’s the benefit to using +p ammo in a comp’d handgun and will the extra pressure negate what the compensator is supposed to do?Thanks and love the show.   Chris M - How much does the Gideon Guardeon 1-8x FFP scope weigh? My deer getter, a 16"" .450 bush hamster AR, with a 19oz Dead Air Primal is already getting kind of heavy. I have a swampfox trihawk on it now, and while it's nice, it's also a pound and if I could get more zooms for the same weight, I want to go back to an LPVO The winner of this week's swag pack is Zac C!

Andy will break down some of his hotter takes and controversial choices.   Watch the FULL Live shows & Exclusive content as a member!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJPQQ7dTlBGs8dKL-6F1bYg/join Join The GUN CLUB https://discord.gg/5RHqPV5kGV

In Episode 70 of the MacBroz Podcast, we’re diving into the gear and decisions that actually matter — not the stuff you change every five minutes. We break down our thoughts on defensive ammunition: what we run, why we trust it, and how real-world use beats marketing hype every time. From there, we get into our current EDC setups — what we’re carrying right now, how and why those setups evolve… and why we don’t swap our EDC more often than our underwear (yes, some people do — we’re not those people). We also jump into optics talk, including Gideon Optics, sharing hands-on experiences, expectations, and where they fit in a very crowded optics market. To wrap things up, we touch on Rumble, platform conversations, and how creators and viewers are navigating the current landscape without losing their minds. As always, it’s honest conversation, practical insights, and just the right amount of MacBroz chaos.
