Dear WLS

• Dependable Don – Who wins? Jermey vs a bag of dicks but in a van.

• Joe from NH – I’ve ordered two L3 Harris tubes. There are so many options out there for housings, mounts, and helmets. What are some things to considered when choosing the above? For instance, what features are necessary within a housing since that is the part I’m least sure about? I probably have everything by now, but thanks for the input. Joe From NH No notes.

• OutLore no last name… it’s just OutLore – You asked for questions. I have 2. For best effect these should be read in a British accent. I will be scoring your accent in the chat. 1) If an orange is called an orange because it’s orange, why isn’t a lemon called a yellow? 2) As you may remember… I recently became a US citizen, and no I will not continually tell people about it because it’s probably the most awesome thing that’s ever happened to me in my entire life… anyway… What gun would you get to celebrate such a momentus event? Fancy Mitchell Defense AR? Lever Action? Revolver? Something that really screams ‘Murica. Thanks fuckers. OutLore”

• No Notes McNoNotes – How often should you maintenance a direct thread suppressor? I have a 5 ½ inch suppressor living on a 10 ½ AR15, it’s not pinned and welded.

• Oliver Clotheshauf – Well Shawnathon, I’ve been listening to your words of wisdom cult daddy (oi yay). In my last few Brownells orders I’ve added a TQ each time (2 for me and 1 for a family member who recently bought their first handgun) and when I bought a new plate carrier I bought a M-Fak (NAR Roo) at the same time. Now for the question as I’m not here to flex my spending habits, what medical items should I add or double up on to put inside the M-Fak?#nonotes

• Benjamin B – Wanting to get a gun for my girlfriend, but I’m not sure what to pick and she’s not sure what she wants. Just that she wants one. It would be primarily a range toy/practice gun. What would the cast recommend? no notes…

• Hank Yall – Trying to decide on what brand of factory bolt action to watch for next. Brands I don’t have but have interest in. In no set order. Bergara, Tikka, Sauer, Mauser, Franchi, CVA, Winchester, Sako, Sig Sauer, Four Peaks, Beretta or Browning. Generally a sub 1000 dollar guy but always like cheaper. Would mostly be just a deer rifle or range toy. Don’t really need another I just like to watch for bargains. Have all the deer rifles I need but not how many I want. Trying to be short enough. NO KNOTS 

The winner of this week’s swag pack is No Notes McNoNotes!

Gun Industry News

• New M-LOK Handguard for Henry Lever-Action Rifles

• XS Sights released the XS Lever Handguard (LVR-HG) for Henry lever-action rifles, priced at $247.50. It’s lightweight, durable, and has slots for attaching M-LOK devices like lights and lasers. The design looks traditional but allows for modern upgrades. It’s available now.

• New Kid-Friendly 20 Gauge Shotgun

• Escort just released the WS Youth, a new pump-action shotgun designed for kids and smaller shooters. It’s chambered for 20-gauge shells, reducing recoil, and has a wood stock for better comfort. The 22-inch barrel makes it easy to handle. It has a capacity of 4+1 and comes with multiple chokes. It’s aimed at the same market as the Mossberg 510 Bantam but may have a different price. Currently, no MSRP is listed, and the gun is available now.

• Upgrade Your AR with the New A2 Blast Shield

• Strike Industries launched the A2 Blast Shield, a simple upgrade for ARs with the standard A2 birdcage flash hider. It reduces side blast and concussion, making it great for indoor shooting and drills. The shield fits over the A2 flash hider, is easy to install, and costs less than replacing the entire muzzle device. The first batch sold out quickly, but a second one is coming. It’s available now.

• Adams Arms Returns!

• Adams Arms is returning to the gun market with new products. They are known for their innovative gas piston systems that reduce recoil. This comeback could energize the gun community with fresh options. Their products will be available soon, but specific prices have not been released yet.
