This week on TGC News, Lone Wolf goes Grey, Ab Arms shows us what Remington should have
done and a new gun shop safety product that might actually make sense!
Welcome back to another episode of TGC News, the only gun news show that covers things
you actually care about, my name is Jon Patton. We have a bunch of new stuff to cover so let's
get to it. First up this week is a "new" pistol from a company that is known as one
of the top dogs when it comes to aftermarket barrels. Say hello to the LoneWolf Grey Man.
The idea with this one is to blend in… be the grey man so to speak. Shall we go over
the features? Yes, mm, indeed.
Okay, so on the bottom, you have a standard Gen 3 Glock
19 frame, but that frame has been completed with a bunch of lonewolf's parts including
their enhanced trigger and extended mag and slide catch so overall it should feel a good
bit better than factory. The gun also features a tungsten guide rod assembly, a lightweight
firing pin kit with maritime cups, because shooting wet glocks is fun, and some other
standard internals. The slide itself is lonewolf's own stainless steel variant with the grey
man configuration. They don't really get into detail as to what that means on the website
but the slide has some really nice kind of wavy cocking serrations as well as a super
clean radius around the muzzle end. Moving along further the slide is topped off with
some AmeriGlo night sights and the part that I like best… a lone wolf G19 length barrel
with a custom flush cut crown. I freakin love the way pistols look with a really nice flush
cut crown. All in all there are a ton of small upgrades that add up to a custom gun that
is designed to look like a plain jane gun. And here's the kicker… the MSRP on the
complete pistol with a bead blasted stainless slide… 700 bucks. For a normal off the shelf
gun, that's pushing towards being too much for a lot of folks, but when you consider
what you're getting here… maybe not. If you want a tan PVD coating that puts the price
up to about 800 bucks. So you're essentially getting a completely done up gun, with the
exception of there not being any stippling… but completely custom otherwise for a solid
price. If you want the upper by itself that will run you 550 bucks. So for an extra 150,
you can get a complete gun instead. Really solid value in my opinion if you are looking
for something nice that flies under the radar. I bet you know my next question… what do
you guys think of guns like this? Do you like the sleeper or would you rather be a little
flashy with your defensive tools? Let's hear your thoughts in the comments below!
Yet another company is jumping into the entry level precision bolt gun market. The rifle
is called the Mod X and the company is AB Arms. They've essentially taken their MOD
X chassis and turned it up a notch by adding a remington 700 action to the mix. So what
makes this different. Well from the factory it features their own Urban Sniper Stock which
has a spring loaded butt pad section for length of pull adjustment as well as an adjustable
cheek riser. However it will also take any standard AR15 stock so you're not stuck.
It also comes with an Ergo grip which is nice touch. And rounding out the chassis that takes
AIC style mags is a 13 inch keymod handguard. The action itself comes in 2 flavors… 308
or 6.5 creedmoor. With the exception of the 20 inch barrel on the 308 and the 22 on the
creedmoor, the actions are identical. 3.5 pound adjustable xmark trigger, ⅝ by 24
threaded muzzles and of course the remington 700 action. So essentially what you have here
is the gun that remington should have offered a long time ago. The price tag on the 308
is 1199 while the creedmoor is coming in at 1249. Compared to the Ruger Precision MSRP
of 1599, this is fairly solid value and with the plethora of aftermarket parts already
available for the 700 action,
you have a platform that will do well for years.
We have a couple quick new products for you guys this week. First up is one called the
shot block. Now, normally I don't cover a lot of safety products but I thought this
one was interesting. Long story short it is a pull-fit chamber plug with a flag extending
out of the muzzle. The concept is that you pull this into the chamber of the gun using
the attached pipe cleaner which acts as a flag, AND it wont allow any rounds to be loaded
at all BUT you can still work the action as normal. With a lot of chamber flags or locks,
you just can't do that. I think they are aiming this at gun shops where people want
to truly check out a firearm yet have everyone know its safe at the same time. The concept
is fairly simple overall and because of that, I think it's a great idea. My only ding is
that they have a metal push rod to remove the plug and I would be concerned about that
marking up the inside of the barrel if not used correctly. Either way, pricing is not
available yet and that will be the determining factor on whether or not this makes sense
for people to grab up. Next up, from VersaCarry, the people that
brought you the barrel obstruction masquerading as a holster, we have the leather pouch with
slits cut into it. Also featuring the new "we forgot to add positive retention"
upgrade! Really I don't have a lot more to say about this besides that. Do not waste
your money on a holster that does not secure your gun properly. This looks like a leather
uncle mikes holster. And Rounding us out this week, as I'm sure
you may have seen from all the guntubers doing videos on this gun, CMMG has released another
new version of the Banshee lineup. This time it's chambered in 5.7x28 which is famous from
the P90 and FN FiveSeven pistols. The new Mk57 Banshee is pretty slick because it actually
takes the five seven mags instead of some aftermarket version, why fix something that's
not broke right? The gun is available in 4 different variants, 2 different 5" versions,
one pistol and one SBR as well as 2 8" barrel pistols.
Pricing ranges from 1349 up to 1549.
It's time for more Friendly Fire, the segment where I answer your questions from all over
social media. This week our questions are coming from YouTube!
Well, we've been playing
around with the 224 valkyrie trying to get the heavier bullets to group well and a new
1:6.5 twist barrel is on the way, so that's probably going to be the next one. BUT I also
have some other stuff coming down the pipe in 243, 300 blackout, 9mm and 5.56.
The reality of that question is that it's
incredibly difficult to answer without knowing what your living
situation is… If you live by yourself in a house with nothing around it, you have a
lot less to worry about than someone that lives in a city with people in every direction.
If you miss your target, that round is going through at least a couple walls so be well
aware of your situation. Sorry there's not a clearer answer.
The reality is that if you are using a lead core
bullet, and your target is properly angled then you won't have any issues. Steel target
ricochets are largely the result of a crappy target that has all kinds of pits and dings
on it, OR one that is mounted incorrectly aka rigidly mounted straight vertical.
This will be fun. And hey, if you want to ask a friendly fire
