Before you can really understand what it means to (responsibly) own a firearm, you must understand what a firearm is.
In this article, we cover the basic definitions and types of firearms.
The decision to own a firearm is a big one and it can come with a complicated set of rules and processes. And with ownership comes great responsibility.
In this article, we describe some of the restrictions and implications of owning a firearm.
Machine guns. “Silencers.” SBRs. All the fun things the Government doesn’t want us to have.
In this article, we explore the legality and process of building or buying NFA Title II weapons (a.k.a. “Class 3”).
Gun. The mere mention of the word elicits a sense of caution, danger, and for some, fear. The concept of safe handling of firearms is no different than that of safe handling of kitchen knives. You must understand the thing to understand how to handle it safely.
This article explores the best practices for firearm safety, including handling, storage, and education of others.
The mere profile of the Black Rifle is universally understood. Born a weapon of war, it is still one of the most capable and enjoyed weapon systems for military, security, protection, and recreational applications.
This entire site is dedicated to the Black Rifle. This article explores the history and design of the gun that revolutionized the military industrial complex and birthed a sport.
The gas system is the circulatory system of the gas-operated AR.
In this series of articles, we explore the components and attributes of the gas system and learn what it takes to build a finely tuned weapon system.
The magic that happens in a firearm’s chamber is remarkable. When you consider what can go wrong, it is also terrifying. Using the correct ammunition for your gun is so important that it is on every “ten commandments” of gun safety list. To use the correct ammunition, you need to understand what “correct” is.
This series of articles explores every nook and cranny of the chamber-versus-cartridge discussion for the two chamber-cartridge pairs of concern: 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem. and 7.62 NATO/.308 Win.
Click-Bang-Ding. The journey from the chamber to target is a fast one. You have probably never actually seen what happens between the click and the ding. Everything that happens to a bullet from the moment you pull the trigger to the moment the bullet stops moving can be summed up in one word: ballistics.
This series of articles is so substantial, that it is it’s own college within PBU. We will do our best to explain everything you need to know about the journey of a bullet.
