The M1 / M1D was a Garand made into a Sniper Rifle. And while it filled the role as a DMR more it still did well at it's job. The M1D never saw action in WW2 or Korea and mostly saw limited service during the Vietnam War. I hope you enjoy today's video as we delve into the M1D

The 45-70 Modern Lever Action is an odd concept. The Thumper V2 is a concoction from Mad Pig Customs that attempts to bring these ancient but formidable 45-70 guns to the modern era. To they succeed? We hope to delve into that with this video.

The Obrez is without a doubt one of the worst weapons I have ever handled. It's a Mosin Nagant made into a pistol and was done as a necessity in a time and place where pistols were scarce but a concealable weapon was needed.
