Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from PlowGuyDave from Colorado When is Aaron coming back? Love, PlowGuyDave Question from Rob K from Connecticut Rob K From ConnecticutDear WLS Hey guys it’s Rob again! I finally got my approval paperwork on my Aero M5 in my state after having to register it. Since it will probably be my only AR-10 I’ll ever own unless I move I’m looking for ideas on a final build for it. I’m very similar to Nick where I don’t want to switch around uppers on my lower. If you guys could only build one AR-10 how would each of you do it? Caliber? Barrel length? Optic? Max range I have access to is 200 yards. I’m open to anything on my final build including switching to 6.5 Creedmoor. It’s currently set up with a 18inch Aero upper in 308 with a swampfox 5-25×56 FFP Warhawk. Before Jeremey comments I know the scope is massive for that rifle and range I have. I got a crazy deal on it and couldn’t say no but realized it’s not ment for my setup. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Bonus question! What bolt rifle would you throw that Warhawk on always down to buy another rifle for the collection. Many thanks guys!!! #WLS is life!!! Question from David Lettuce from TN David Lettuce – Hey Jeremy, how does it feel knowing a teenaged future butter bar is stacking insurgents and getting a knife stateside at Old Dominion while you battle a head cold (it’s probably monkeypox)? #scoreboard Question from Bill T from TX Bill T from Tx. I am looking at getting the Bodyguard 2.0. Have y’all heard of anyone making a +3 mag extension for them yet? I can’t find anything, though you might have inside info. Question from Anonymous Coward from Oregon If budget was no option what would your full loadout kit look like?From secret admirer GUN INDUSTRY NEWS THEFIREARMBLOG Fischer Development FD-Silencer Austrian manufacturer Fischer Development designed the FD-Silencer to mount directly to a pistol’s frame accessory rail rather than threading onto the barrel.

INSIDE SAFARILAND Do Handgun Silencers Have a Place in the Self Defense World Do silencers have a place in the self defense world? They may not have completely made it there yet, but I think they will be. Safariland blog article examines whether handgun silencers (suppressors) belong in self-defense applications. The author gives a cautious but optimistic ‘yes,’ particularly highlighting advantages for home defense scenarios while acknowledging practical limitations. The piece discusses benefits like hearing protection for the shooter and reduced disturbance to bystanders or family members, alongside typical drawbacks such as added size, weight, and legal/regulatory requirements.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS Can You Shoot 5.56 Through a .22 Suppressor? – The Truth About Guns Can you shoot 5.56 through a .22 suppressor? Usually no. Here's why pressure, heat, and gas volume matter so much. The article addresses whether .556/.223 ammunition can be safely fired through a standard .22LR (rimfire) suppressor. In the general case, it is not safe or recommended. Most dedicated rimfire suppressors are engineered only for the much lower pressures, smaller gas volumes, and reduced heat produced by .22LR, .22WMR, or similar rimfire cartridges. NSSF NSSF Releases Most Recent Firearm Production Figures (ATF AFMER 2023) Over 32 million Modern Sporting Rifles in Circulation WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, released the Firearm Production in the United States including the Firearm Import and Export Data 2025 Edition (reporting 2023 data) to its members.

GUN FIGHTS Play the best Price Is Right-style GunBroker game on the internet. BANGRANK A live cast ranking segment for anything and everything in the gun world, powered by questionable certainty, strong opinions, and audience voting. THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update 1. AGENCY BRIEF: STREET SWEEPER / USAS-12 DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE RECLASSIFICATIONWhat this really was: In 1994, ATF took lawfully owned shotguns and shoved them into the NFA “destructive device” category. No vote in Congress. No new statute. Just an agency ruling that turned specific 12-gauge shotguns into the same legal category as grenades. The targets were the Striker-12, the Street Sweeper, and the USAS-12. The Striker and Street Sweeper used revolving cylinders. The USAS-12 was a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. They all fired ordinary 12-gauge shells, the same kind of ammunition people put through hunting pumps all over the country. The legal hook was buried in the National Firearms Act, specifically 26 U.S.C. § 5845(f). That section says a weapon with a bore over one-half inch can be treated as a destructive device unless the government decides it is “generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes.” A 12-gauge shotgun has a bore of about .73 inches. So every 12-gauge in America avoids the NFA only because ATF treats it as sporting enough. That is the trapdoor. In 1994, during the Clinton administration, ATF issued Rulings 94-1 and 94-2. The agency said these shotguns had no recognized sporting purpose, pointing to their weight, capacity, and military-style features. Once ATF withdrew that exemption, the guns became destructive devices. The pattern was simple: Start with a broad statute and an elastic test like “sporting purposes.” Use subjective factors, including appearance, to pull back prior approval. Reclassify the guns by agency ruling. Open a short amnesty period for tax-free registration. Turn missed paperwork into felony exposure. Confirmed fact: ATF used the sporting purposes clause to reclassify these firearms and require NFA registration without Congress passing a new law. What is less clear is how many legacy owners actually got notice before the amnesty window closed. But the legal threat was real, and the policy result stuck....

In this week’s episode of The MacBroz Show, we’re putting the spotlight on audience Q&A and answering some of the questions you all sent in. We break down what pistol we would choose if we could only have one gun for both range and carry, what really matters most for EDC between comfort, capacity, and shootability, and whether red dots have become a must-have or are still just a personal preference. We also answer the big question: will we ever go back to shooting Glocks again? On top of the Q&A, Josh may have another 2011 project in the works, D talks about running SuperVel ammo, adding a new Red Dirt Trigger, and rebuilding his M&P setup. Plus, we kick things off with a wild fun fact about car radios being introduced in the 1930s and costing over $100 back then. Real opinions, gun talk, project updates, audience questions, and the usual MacBroz chaos. Topics include: One pistol for range and carry EDC comfort vs. capacity vs. shootability Are red dots a must-have now? Would we go back to Glocks? Josh’s possible new 2011 project SuperVel ammo Red Dirt Trigger M&P rebuild updates Drop your answer in the comments: If you could only have one pistol for range and carry, what would it be? 🎟️ GunCon Tickets: www.guncon.net Use code JW5   👉 Check us out at www.themacbroz.com for merch and more content.

Episode 17, “Knob Job,” is packed with the usual rimfire nonsense, questionable maturity, and enough gear talk to make your wallet nervous. We dig into listener topics like the S&W 422/622, weird and wonderful Discord finds, suppressor hosts, 3D-printed TX22 chassis, the Woox Elegante, and whatever Dayle keeps sending us to make us feel poor. Dan gets his Hammerli back from Walther, ARDREW shows off a very green Franklin Armory F-17X, Dusky brings competition stories and Beretta energy, and Gat-Lab prepares to run questionable guns in questionable ways. We also take the mandatory centerfire detour with tiny pistols, AR FRT laughs, gun-store mistakes, Mock 18 problems, and ARDREW’s new IWI Jericho.

In this episode of Acceptable Accuracy, hosts Philip and Tyler are joined by Brent and Casey to break down their experiences at the 2026 Wolverine 5K Tactical Adventure Race. The crew explains what makes this unique event a mix of shooting competition, land navigation, fitness, and problem-solving before diving into the gear that worked, the gear that didn't, and the lessons learned along the way. They also share their favorite stages, biggest challenges, memorable moments, and a few stories that were a lot funnier after crossing the finish line. Whether you're a Wolverine veteran, thinking about signing up for your first tactical adventure race, or just enjoy hearing about people making questionable decisions in the woods, this episode has something for you.
