....has finally been updated. For all who asked me to add the latest issues to the "Back Issue" page it is done. I also updated the "Links" page as well as adding a few events to the "Firearms Community Calendar" page.

Just as an aside, I have a new column in SAR called Krieg Hahn that is focusing on Semi-Auto variants of full auto firearms. As the black rifle is a personal favorite of mine it will be heavy on coverage in this column. In the May issue (Vol 5 No 8) it goes over several of the unlimited number of configurations possible and outlines some of the tools that assist greatly in the process. At a later date I will discuss the tools convenient to maintain and clean the family of firearms.

As it stands I will be going to Bushmaster soon to detail the process of manufacturing a new AR-15 from scratch. It will begin at manufacturing the receivers and continue all the way to the test range. It will be titled "The Birth of a Black Rifle". I hope you enjoy it.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for this new column you can reach me at [email protected] of through several links at the website at http://www.smallarmsreview.com
