Last Saturday, the firearms community lost a true master of his trade and a good man.
Barry Elliot, well known for his activity on the popular youtube gun channel Iraqveteran8888, which takes place at Moss Pawn and Gun in Georgia.
He was a master in firearms, one of the old breed, I like to say.
The gun smiths and enthusiasts from back in the day, when it was a true and devoted interest.
It is a tragic loss. We will remember Barry and his contributions to the firearms community.

So if you have been following gun news lately, you may notice that the ATF banned importation of 5.45x39mm. The reason for this is because of the surplus ammo's steel core. The ATF ruled this as armor piercing ammo. However, by ATF standards, it does not meet that to be AP ammo. What boggles me even more is the fact that a lot of surplus ammo is steel cored. So why did they just target 5.45x39? It is not as popular as, say 7.62x39, but they left that alone. Why?
The ATF logic sometimes perplexes me.

I do not know what will be the fate of 5.45.
Sure there are manufacturers makin it, but surplus ammo is cheap and provides a bug portion of the ammo market.

We need more peeps on here!
I know there is a TON more out there, so spread the word!

There may not be much yet, but plan on pics, question survey thingys, and journals pertaining to firearms!
Thank you for stopping by!
