Blog Administrator -
So in lieu of having the sights, I am still offering a Review of the TUOR Iron Sights by WM Tactical.


There are several manufacturers that make after market AR Platform Iron Sights.
1) Magpul - MBUS Pro Front and Rear Sights
2) Diamondhead Polymer Diamond Integrated Sighting System
3) PRI Flip up Front and Rear Sights
4) WM Tactical Tuor Iron Sights

Positioning the TUOR WM Tactical Iron Sights ....

Youtube Video: Demonstration of the TUOR, WM Tactical Adjustable Iron Sights
for the AR Platform ....
 



Commentary -

The suggested retail price is $299.00 for the WM Tactical TUOR Iron Sights. This product does NOT warrant spending that sum of money for adjustable iron sights. The price is highly inflated for what the shooter could obtain as a satisfactory investment upgrade.

==> My recommendation on the WM Tactical TUOR Sights is -
a NO BUY.

 //// - \\\\
Competitor Cost Comparison:
1) Magpul - MBUS Pro Front and Rear Sights,
    Amazon has these for $140.00
2) Diamondhead Polymer Diamond Integrated Sighting  
    System, Amazon has these for $95.00
3) PRI Flip up Front and Rear Sights,
    Amazon has these for $115.00
4) I contacted one of my gunsmiths which does custom machine work for firearms. I can virtually duplicate the WM Tactical Tuor Iron Sights and have them mounted for $85.00.

Firearm Forum Question: Glock Issued Gen Model History

Ask A Firearms Question:
Can you detail the Glock Gen Model History, specifically when the Gen 2 and Gen 3 Started?
Thank you My-Left-Leg.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
Glock has a unique history.
See below for details:
The firearm, mainly handguns are manufactured in Austria.
Glock wanted to stay consistent in its handgun production so improvements and upgrades were called 'Generations' - Gen.
There have been 4 Generations of Glock so far.
Gen 1; Gen 2; Gen 3; and the latest Gen 4.
Gen 3's were extremely popular worldwide and are used by various law enforcement and military.
Gen 1 Glocks are just now becoming somewhat of a collectors item.

I personally own a Gen 3, Model 30 (45 acp compact).

Glock Approximate Timeline Dates:

Gen 1 - 1982 Introduction

Gen 1 - 1984, Introduction to the USA Market

Gen 2 - 1988 Introduction

Gen 2 - 1991, Upgraded to meet ATF Standards

Gen 3 - 1998 Introduction

Gen 3 - Upgrades and New Models continued through 2008

Gen 4 - 2010 Introduction

Glock Generation Models: 1, 2, 3, 4 can be mostly distinguished by there Factory issued Pistol Grips.

Glock has issued a Timeline History.

Firearm Forum Question: Review and Testing of the CAI 7.62x39mm AK47 Centurion Model 39 Assault Rifle

Ask A Firearms Question:
No question today ...
This is my personal 'Review' of CAI (Century Arms) Model 39, 7.62x39mm AK-47 Assault Rifle.
Here are some photos of my CAI AK-47 Model 39 ....

Specifications ....

Answer / Review:

Blog Administrator -
I purchased one of these late last year. Unlike most AK-47s these CAI Rifles are 100 percent made in the USA. They are Mil Spec.
The Model 39 I selected has a black synthetic stock with a forward picatinny rail and front and rear iron sights.
The AK came with one Black Tapco Polymer and six Black Steel Korean 30-round magazines. The total cost of my AK was $650.00 including tax and shipping and handling from J&G Gun Sales in Prescott Arizona.

I upgraded my AK as follows:
1) I replaced the standard dust cover with an original Russian Dust Cover and Rear Rail Mount, and added a 3 x 9 Scope, see pictures above.
2) I added a Black Forward Grip with Bi-Pod. 
3) I have since purchased two Black 75-round Romanian Steel Drum Magazines, and two Black 40-round Polymer ProMag Banana clip style magazines.
4) I purchased one Black Fieldline Tactical Assault Rifle Case from Wal-Mart.

This AK-47 Rifle has two downsides.
1) Because it is 100 percent Mil Spec the bottom plate under the pistol grip has been modified and reinforced therefore a Bum Fire (Slide Fire) Stock will not work on this particular model.
2) The front mounted Picatinny Rails are short so using any heavy optics or scope is out of the question. I tried several optics but they all make the rifle front heavy. A lightweight Green Laser mounted on the underside of the picatinny rail would work fine.

My primary compliant about the CAI AK-47 Model 39 is the Rear Sight Adjustment uses an alan wrench, which was not furnished with the weapon and it is an odd size. I also had to soak the alan screw for about 3 days in WD-40 before it would loosen and turn, the main reason I changed out the dust cover and added a rear scope. Almost everyone who buys this rifle has this complaint and notices that out of the box it shoots off center and needs to be adjusted. I would recommend to CAI changing to a larger Alan Screw and including the alan wrench with the purchase, a small cost factor for a great firearm.

Below is my Target sighting at the Indoor Gun Range of the CAI Model 39 AK-47 with Iron Sights at 35 Feet:
Right at of the box the CAI AK fired way to the top left as shown, with adjustment it shot to the upper and center right. It took only 15 shots to get center.

Below is my Target sighting at the Outdoor Gun Range at 50-Yards (150 feet) with the CAI Model 39 AK-47 with a 3 x 9 Scope mounted on a Russian Dust Cover and Picatinny Rail:
Scope was off slightly shooting up and to the right as shown in upper target.
Two adjustments and it was hitting dead center as shown on the lower target,

In Testing the CAI Model 39, AK-47 Assault Rifle I have tried all kinds of ammo and the weapon shoots flawlessly without jamming or issues of any kind. So far I have about 650 rounds through this weapon.

Types of 7.62x39mm Ammo Tested so far: TulAmmo; Wolf Hollow Points, Wolf FMJ; Wolf Jacketed Soft Points; Yugo Brass Cased; Arsenal; Remington UMC; Winchester Super-X SP Hunting Ammo; and Red Army from Ukraine, FMJ and HP (highly recommend the Red Army FMJ, my favorite). 

I Rate this American Made CAI Manufactured AK-47 as a ... BUY

Firearm Forum Question: Product Review of the Flambeau Outdoors, Oversized Safeshot Double Gun Case

Ask A Firearms Question:
No question today ...
This is my personal 'Review' of the Flambeau Outdoors, Oversized Safeshot Double Gun Case.
I recently purchased one of these from Amazon.com for $41.15 including tax (note, S&H was free because order was over $35.00).
See the manufacturers description of the Gun Case; and my personal REVIEW of the Product below ... 

Product Details from the Manufacturer -

Product Dimensions: 16.5 x 53.4 x 4.5 inches.

Actual Weight Empty: 2.8 pounds.
Four locking points for security.
Combination of piano style hinge and brass hinge provide durability, safety and protection.
Oversized double will accommodate two scoped rifles.
Durable egg-shell foam. 

My Review and Opinion of this Product:

1) My Remington 700 with Flash Hider, Bi-Pod, and Scope is longer than some Rifles. I purchased this case because I needed a longer, wider, deeper case that was reasonably priced.

2) The case fulfills my needs but understand I am simply storing the rifle and using this case for transporting the rifle to and from the Gun Range only. For this purpose the Gun Case is quite adequate.

3) The case is inexpensive so if you are looking for quality, aluminum, roughness, waterproof, durability, and able to ship a firearm on a plane, train, bus, or ship this case is NOT for you. The Flambeau Outdoors, Oversized Safeshot Gun Case is molded plastic.

4) You get what you pay for. Spend the money for what you need not what someone else thinks you should purchase.

5) My downside review on this case simply is that the Manufacturer, Flambeau Outdoors, states the case will hold two rifles with scope. I found this not to be true. It holds one Hunting Rifle with scope, bi-pod, and flash hider. When closing the lid with the Remington Bolt removed, the case is still a tight fit. This case needs to be one inch deeper. Also the foam padding is not secure and falls out.

6) Amazon quickly shipped the case and I received it in 5 days via UPS.

7) As for durability, I just received it. As for actual use one trip to the Gunsmith and one trip to the Outdoor Gun Range, and so far so good. Time will tell the rest.

Here are my photos of the Flambeau Outdoors, Oversized Safeshot Double Gun Case in use ... 

Answer / Review:

Blog Administrator -
For the money I believe it was worth the price, but again you get what you pay for.
This case is very similar to a Plano but comes in a larger size for my needs.
As far as Flambeau Outdoors claim it will hold 2 Rifles with Scopes, I don't see it happening.

I Rate this Gun Case as a ... BUY

Firearm Forum Question: Battle Axe Attachment for the Picatinny Rail

Ask A Firearms Question:
I was told that someone makes a Battle Axe Attachment for Assault Rifles with Picatinny Rails, is this true, and who makes it?
Bet it's good for Zombie Killing.
Thank you Jimmy Joe Bluebaker.

Tact-Axe, Battle Style Axe for your Picatinny Rail:
Mounted on a Typical AR Type Assault Weapon ....

 Mounted on a Tactical Shotgun ....

 Mounted on a Glock Handgun ...

 Oh Yeah, Battle Ready, Bring on the Zombies ....

Answer:

Blog Administrator -
Yes someone actually makes a Battle Style Axe, it's called the Tact-Axe, that fits onto a Picatinny Rail. The seller, Melee Mods, claims it attaches to most assault rifles, shotguns, and handguns that have the rail.
It is mounted on the underside of the Picatinny Rail.
See the pictures above.
The purpose, according to the seller, is when you hear that 'Click' sound and you are out of Ammo, the Battle Axe comes in handy to save the day.
Personally, that's why I have a Bayonet for my AR15.
