Truck Guns, Part 1: From Stagecoaches to Tacomas
by Toby M on May 10, 2025 at 12:00 am
The concept of a truck gun is nothing new. Be it the Western stagecoach driver of old transporting wealth or prisoners or the suburban father driving to work or shuttling his children to soccer, there is a need to protect precious cargo. Regardless of circumstance, when you find yourself on the open road, you need to be armed and ready for unexpected dangers that may present themselves in an emergency. In such cases, a pistol may be unable to provide an opportunity for gaining the advantage, but the truck gun has become a standard in mobile personal defense.

by Eric B on May 9, 2025 at 11:30 pm
Today, we’re looking at the Quarter Circle 10, a pistol caliber carbine with no interest in being ordinary. Most Quarter Circle 10s are designed around the Glock magazine pattern, however, there are other magazine solutions as well, as you can clearly see in this Photo Of The Day. The MP5-like PCC is also a Quarter Circle 10, with an AR9 MP5 Upper and Lower Receiver - let’s name it the QC-5!. Note the AC-Unity MP5-style magazine for 9 mm.

Made in Oregon: Brian Stocks Custom A2 Shorty Stocks
by Luke C. on May 9, 2025 at 3:00 pm
Brian Stocks , based in Oregon, produces modernized, 3D-printed short A2-style fixed stocks for AR-15 rifles—specifically in 7.25", 7.5", and 7.75" lengths. Each stock is built to order using high-end printers and heat-resistant, impact-tolerant high-end filament materials. The proprietary fixed version includes a unique mini A2 buffer tube with rear threads, while the adjustable versions ship with a custom-position carbine buffer tube (positions like 1, 3, and 5 are common), castle nut, end plate, and sling mount (A2 loop or QD flush cup). Fitment is carefully controlled—Brian personally matches each stock with one of three mil-spec tubes to ensure proper tension and lock-up with every custom order.
