YOU NEED TO ACT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!! - CA AB28

The CRPA has filed a lawsuit challenging California's AB 28, which imposes an 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition. The lawsuit argues this tax is designed to frustrate the market and is not a related cause for funding general crime fighting. The CRPA is partnering with the Second Amendment Foundation and FPC, and gun stores are also involved as plaintiffs due to their direct financial impact.

This video discusses a new 11% tax on the firearms industry in California, effective July 1st, 2024.

This guide details the assembly and tuning of an AR-15 build designed for zero recoil, as demonstrated by Reno May. It focuses on integrating specialized components like the Unrivaled Technologies LP-X3 muzzle brake, a multi-stage dead blow buffer, a lightweight BCG, and an adjustable gas block. Proper tuning of the gas system and muzzle brake is crucial for achieving minimal muzzle movement and a flat shooting profile, even during rapid fire.

Instructor Reno May showcases how to achieve high rates of fire on AR-15 and AK-pattern rifles using proper grip, trigger control, and body mechanics. The demonstration emphasizes that high-capacity magazines and optics can facilitate rapid shooting, but the core technique relies on manual manipulation and trigger reset. Proper safety protocols, including PPE, are highlighted.
