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.

by Lynndon Schooler on May 9, 2025 at 12:00 am
The 2025 International Defence Exhibition Conference (IDEX) in Abu Dhabi, UAE, highlights emerging warfighting technologies. Although warfare continues to evolve, some fundamentals remain unchanged: soldiers and firearms are essential for taking and securing objectives. Among the most important tools for infantry troops is the machine gun, which is second to the radio. Machine guns have dominated battlefields for over a century due to their ability to deliver a large amount of lead on target. This makes them indispensable for suppressing the enemy and supporting advancing troops. From the trenches of World War I to modern-day conflicts, the machine gun has impacted military history, evolving with advancements in technology and design.
