    Savage Model 24 Review

    The Savage Model 24 is an over/under combo gun. It’s a 22LR rifle barrel overtop a 410 shotgun barrel, though some other similar variants like the 24V were available in heavier-duty centerfire rifle and larger shotgun gauges. They stopped making them in 2010, but released the Model 42 as its successor with polymer stocks. They’re…

  • Jard J180 Review

    Jard J180 Review

    The Jard J180 is an American-made upper&lower kit for making an AR180-style rifle. Unlike many 180’s, this one uses direct impingement, just like the AR15. Why does this matter? Because it makes it easy to replace barrels with AR-compatible barrels. Most other 180’s require you to use a specific gas tube length: most are carbine…

  • Valmet M78 LMG .308 Review

    Valmet M78 LMG .308 Review

    The Valmet M78 LMG is an AK pattern rifle made in Finland. They’re semi automatic, made for the civilian market and they’re non-restricted in Canada. Unfortunately, they haven’t been made in a long time, so they’re quite pricey ($5,000-10,000) and so they’re more of a curio than a practical rifle for hunting or sport shooting.…

  • KelTec RDB Review

    KelTec RDB Review

    The KelTec RDB is an American-made, semi-automatic, bullpup, downward ejecting, 223/556 rifle. Like many of KelTec’s designs, it’s pretty wild, doing something very novel (ejecting empties straight down). At around $1500, they’re pretty price competitive for the quality. Features Very adjustable gas block Full ambi controls Downward case ejection Non-reciprocating charging handle 5lb trigger pull…
