The Ruger 10/22 Review: An American Classic
On my top 7 22 Rifles list, my number one choice was the humble Ruger 10/22. I listed a few reasons there, but let’s reevaluate why this rifle is so fantastic. The Ruger 10/22 is on equal grounds with guns like the AR-15 and the Glock series of handguns. It’s the definitive gun of it’s […]
The KPOS Scout and G2- Whats the Difference?
Some time ago I reviewed the KPOS G2 for Down Range Daily. To me, it was a fun, well made and impressive way to turn a Glock into a modern tactical carbine. I’ve handled some carbine conversion kits and found the KPOS G2 to be my favorite overall. In 2018, FAB Defense decided to tweak […]
