2015 Year End Review

It's that time of year again, next week I will be starting my 4th year blogging about guns. 

This is my 231st Blog post.....while I had no idea it would go on this long....we have plenty in store for 2016.

• As always you can expect more restoration & modification projects. 
• We have some more product and gun reviews coming up. 
• Gun Porn and Featured Gun articles will be appearing monthly.
• We will go head on into knife making, starting with the building of a filing jig.
• We will also make an attempt at building a gun from scratch
• We will cover some more historical firearms related events

Now for the review:
