Just had a new customer call me. He's been trying to remove a barrel nut off his AR. It's a PSA upper, and apparently they weren't even capable of breaking it loose. He tried a couple other places to no avail before he called me. He showed up, and the standard barrel nut was pretty chewed up. I broke out my Geissele Automatics, LLC reaction rod and Real Avid armorer's wrench and with just a single ugga (no dugga), off it came. I went ahead and installed his new parts. In 10 minutes or less, he was finished. Even sent him home with a free bottle of Kendrick Thompson Purp Drank gun l**e because friends help friends.

I tell you all that to say this: just because a gun store exists, it doesn't mean they know what they're doing. I sent him out the door at no charge because I felt that was the right thing to do. Most people getting into this hobby just need a little help, and their wallets shouldn't be raked over the coals for it. Yes, I'm sure he will share his experience, but that's not why I do what I do. I have zero intention of doing this full-time, so added business isn't my goal. Helping people and spreading Jesus' love through small acts of kindness and generosity are the end-game. Kindness doesn't cost a thing, and is something we can all do.

The guys at Dogwood Armory are at the gun show this weekend with their FRTs. Get up there and buy some to help them take down Rare Greed.

I will be unavailable next week. If you need immediate assistance, get with Ryan over at Delta Ordnance. I will be back next Sunday, 5/31.

In the meantime, scratch up some spare change and get you one of these DubDub22s when I get back.

To say I'm pleased with how these Exigent Defense suppressors perform would be an understatement. I won't hesitate to recommend them beside the likes of SilencerCo, OCL, or B&T.

Just a friendly reminder that SilencerShop kiosks aren't the only (or even the best) answer to doing your NFA transactions. If having access to your data any time or anywhere you need it is important to you, find a dealer that keeps things in-house.

As if you needed another reason to support Trijicon....they aren't afraid to publicly display their faith. And for those that don't know, they've been putting Bible verses on their optics for as long as I remember.

Acts 2:24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
