You know since I have been reading and listening to your request for a list of companies that “Don’t respond to request” I think I will start that here on the site & blog. I know it has been a while that you have been asking and after much debating over it I see your point… Why buy from a company that does not care enough to respond to a request. Even if they do not want to participate they can at least let you know. Well after hearing that from you the readers, seminars attendees and public that BUY from these companies, I have to say I agree…

So I sent out request of product you asked for, I guess we will have to see what happens…

Reloading & Shooting Article update...

Hey we are going to have a few articles on reloading both brass and shotshell. We will be trying out different brands of loaders to see which one works the best for the buck… I have written a couple of the companies that make loaders, I have two now at this time to use let’s see if these others want to put their brand on the line…


There is going to be an article also on building a gun cabinet for your home. This will not be the regular vertical style, we are going to build a horizontal type that will hold both long guns and a few pistols. The article will also have photos of “in process” and the finished build.

I want to thank Lawrence Brand shot for again going forward with another sponsorship shipment to us here for our shoots, and articles. We will again at seminars be giving away a few 25 pound bags as random drawing prizes for the seminar attendees. I also have a radio show coming up and if this gets here in time, we may give a couple away for listener call in prizes.

Also watch later this year for an article on “Hunting loads, reloads vs. factory” as this seems to be an idea that has generated much interest with our readers.

I also want to remind everyone to watch for the “Tactical to Practical“article with flashlights from SureFire, Novatac and Streamlight. I also per your request sent a letter to Insight and HellFighter about a few of their products for this article and the AR project, so I will let you know where we stand on this article in the next few weeks!

The "SIG" Build

And now the "Sig" build up...

Ok now it is time for the AR build up using a couple of nice products from Sig Sauer. We are using the new 700 lumen STOPLIGHT and their mini red dot scope. As on the SureFire build we had a separate forearm handle with a separate side mounted light.

With the STOPLIGHT from Sig you combine the handle / light/ laser in one unit with will leave the sides of your rail mount system open. Weight is about the same as the STOPLIGHT used 4 of the 123 Lithium batteries.

What you gain is the extra space on the rail sides and the combo of grip, light and laser. The grip is not round as in most “tango” style grips, this has a little longer grip that is also thinner in the middle area. You have a momentary “on” button on the back of the unit. On the right side you will find the controls for constant on, strobe and the laser.

The laser is mounted on the left side of the unit and is removable if you wish. It has built in adjustment within the caps the cover the adjustment screws. This is a nice bright red laser that is strong enough to be shown in some daylight.

The mini red is also well built and a strong bright red dot with 11 levels of adjustment. It has two adjustments which you can use a dime if needed to adjust. This is a nice change from the big 40mm size red dots that also has the added advantage of less weight.

The following photos show these products installed on he DPMS AR project…
