Ingenuity and knowledge is at the heart of firearm modification, not tools and expensive custom jigs and aftermarket parts. Understanding your limitations and the gun’s is important. Perhaps even the most important thing in being successful at basic gunsmithing. Sure, you’ll need the basics, something to help you achieve the general tasks, but it doesn’t take a fortune to be able to do some modification work.

Body armor should be a primary consideration for any truly serious prepper or retreat homeowner. Whatever your word du jour is to describe either a prepper, survivalist, or off-grid homeowner, most of them are more concerned with how many guns to buy, what kind of guns to buy, and building up mountains of food in

Looking to the animal world, it is very obvious that the female of the species is almost always the protector of the children—her instinct kicks in and look out! The lioness and the mother bear are perfect examples. So why would we not think the same of the human race? Yes you say, a father
