    I have had no issues getting bulk ammo shipped to my FFL. And most online sellers ship cases for free. There is typically a handing charge of some kind by the FFL but buying in bulk and getting...

    I have to say, just as a spectacle, I’m impressed by the full auto mag dumps through the G36 until it literally catches on fire. Then they dump several more hundred rounds through it while it’s on...

    Bike fit can be more complicated than it might seem to be. Reach to the bars and height of bars affects how much pressure you’re putting on the saddle and where. The typical cycling position is too...
