Reloads Cause S&W AR-15 Kaboom
There sure seems to be a lot of guns going kaboom lately, in the latest known incident NVCapCop on AR15.com experienced what had to have been a very frightening experience when his S&W AR-15 rifle had a catastrophic failure. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt, it was concluded that a bad batch of .223 reloads from USAammo was the culprit (but is it just me or does that rifle look a little too dry? Just saying).

Silenced Lever Action Rifle
Here’s something that looks like it’s straight out of Son’s of Guns.

How-to Make A Shotgun Shell USB Flash Drive

Ammo Made of Cremated Ashes
Here’s a way to go out with a bang. Instead of a boring traditional funeral, how about a 21 gun salute with ammo made out of cremated ashes? Or a hunting trip with a rifle load mixed with your loved ones cremated remains? The guys at Holy Smoke can make it happen. They specialize in loading cremated ashes into live firearm ammunition, everything from shotgun shells to rifle and pistol cartridges. A box of either 250 shotgun shells, 100 rifle cartridges or 250 pistol cartridges goes for $1,250. For an additional $100 they’ll include a “mantle-worthy, finished, wooden handcrafted boxes with labels”.
It’s not a cheap way to remember your loved ones, but I’m sure they would get a bang out of it! Just remember to clean your gun really well afterwards. You don’t want parts of grandpa stuck in your barrel.
Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun Hoax Sellers
The Kel-Tec KSG shotgun had a lot of buzz around it the past few months, and with almost any hot new product, scammers do their best to swindle unsuspecting buyers. Kel-Tec gave a few updates on the status of the production of their KSG shotgun, one of which was a heads up to buyers that any Kel-Tec KSG shotguns listed on GunBroker.com or any other source online are hoaxes. Currently Kel-Tec has only sent a few KSG shotguns to people to be tested and evaluated and are not available for retail sale. The KSG should be available to the public by the end of the year.
