AL TARMIYAH FIREFIGHT!: Lessons Learned The Hard Way

Excellent article about Practical Combat Rifle Skills we need to keep sharp as civilians:

 

  • Assuming I killed the bad guy with one shot to the torso area

  • Performing a slow reload

  • Retaining my empty magazine during the middle of such an intense firefight

  • Stowing an empty magazine in the same location as my fresh magazines

  • Looking down at my weapon while reloading

  • Having my rifle in the Low Ready while reloading

  • Standing bladed and not taking advantage of my ballistic plates

Anybody who served in the Iraq War during the height of the insurgency (2005-2007) or are familiar with modern military sniper history know the story of the Iraqi Sniper Juba and his Tabuk Sniper Rifle.

I have to be honest, I was jaw-dropped impressed with the performace of both the shooter and this rifle with Ball ammo and a malfunctioning scope to 500 yards!

WTF is This??

Iraqi Gunsmithing: SKS, Mosin Nagant Aficionados Be Warned!!

(click on above link to be re-directed)

I will warn you ahead of time; the photos that are included in this link are both atrocious and hilarious.

What they do to some of these older C&R Rifles to “modernize” them is just plain WRONG!!

The bad thing is I bet like me, some of you guys have seen weapons as bad as this at some rifle training classes!!

Stay Alert, Stay Armed and Stay Dangerous!
