THIS BLOG IS WRITTEN AS A GUEST BLOG BY AMMO TO GO.   As a gun owner, you know how important it is to have reliable firearm components. The magazine is a critical component, as it feeds ammunition into the chamber. But what about the spring? Does it lose its elasticity over time or become damaged when you load the magazine? Ammo To Go set out to answer these questions with their mag spring torture test. The team spent almost a year loading and unloading 13 different mags, including Magpul PMAGs, ETS Glock 17 mags, and USGI AR-15 mags. They subjected samples...

Actor Matthew McConaughey is in the spotlight this week after giving a performance on behalf of the Biden administration.  Standing in front of the press, McConaughey called for more gun control.  He called to restrict the rights of American citizens.  Of course, the gun grabbers of the country praised him, with one pundit saying it was the most important speech an actor has ever given.  At the same time, many of those that oppose gun control brushed it off, pointing out that the actor is just that, an actor.  Who cares what he has to say because he should stick...

Voila! You're ready to fire! Now, I’m not sure how many trigger presses you will get...
