This is some footage of the Army Marksmanship Unit Shooters (AMU) shooting in a 3 gun match. One of the shooters is Daniel Horner who you may have heard of from his civilian days as a shooter from the Tactical Shooting Academy. What you will notice is that these guys are awesome.
It has come to our attention that this video was removed from youtube for a copyright violation. Don’t know what’s up with that, but here is a replacement.

MCC has recently obtained Glock Maritime Spring Cups. These are hard to find because they Glock generally only supplies them by agency letterhead. The Maritime Spring Cups are used by operators on the sharp end, especially those near water to ensure perfect reliability with their guns.
Their purpose is to allow water to drain away from the striker in the event your weapon ever gets submerged. It is conceivable that you might get a light strike if the water doesn’t drain. Please DO NOT SHOOT UNDERWATER!!!! This could hurt you and destroy your gun. We are offering these to our customers through our Glock Carry Package. If you are interested contact us at info@mossycreekcustom.com. Be sure to check out our Glock Carry Package. You won’t be able to find savings like this buying these items individually.
If you own an older model Glock, you are limited in the area of weapons mounted lights. While you may be down, you are certainly not out. If your Glock doesn’t have a light rail, now you can get one added. This is a great option, and it is so much better than having a light attached to your magazine which is definitely not going to win you any style points.
The rail is locked down through the bottom of the frame and is reported to be stable even when using full power loads. It even has a cut out for the serial number. By choosing this option you literally don’t have to be in the dark anymore. Look to spend about $60 plus installation.

I found this photo of a guy shooting his musket at night and thought the readers would really enjoy it. Check out durhamtownship.com for some other great pictures.
If you have never heard of the Cold Steel company, you will find it interesting to take a look at their product line. One of our favorite knives from this company is called the Ti-Lite. 
The Ti-Lite comes in a 4 inch blade that is unbelievalbly sharp from the factory. It also features a quillion that can be snagged on the pocket for one handed opening. You will also find that the this feature is useful for opening off of someone else’s clothing. If you are a cop you will really like this knife because it can be deployed for strikes. Priced around $70, it is a great value.
One additional note. . . I personally have carried this knife for over 2 years. When a Cold Steel product gets dulled, you can send it back to the factory for resharpening and polishing. It only cost about $10 and includes return shipping.
One of our customers recently told me about a new type of competition that he has competed in recently with his sniper setup. It’s called Smack the Smiley, and you can compete on your own time from your range.
If you are into shooting long range, tactical matches, but just can’t seem to get out west to one, you may find this type of match very enjoyable. They offer some great prizes, and it will give you some good practice.
You have to check this out!! If you are in L/E you need to go ahead and get some prototypes to work up as soon as possible. This could be really cool. The guys that brought you the original Taser are now promoting a shotgun shell taser that can be used with any smooth bore or rifled shotgun barrel. This give you some unbelievable options.

We mentioned that the XS sights are good defensive sights in a recent post. We also warned that they are not always as easy to install as the packaging makes it seem. This was true again for us with a 1911 that came to the shop the other day, and it got us thinking that you may want to be cautious of many of the products that are advertised as user installed.
If you look at Brownell’s catalog, you will find many items for sale that are advertised as gunsmith fitting required, or recommended. Many shooters have the desire to tinker around with their own guns, and we understand. There is a great satisfaction from doing a modification to your own gun. We would never discourage you from trying, but let us offer a few parameters for you.
1. Make sure you have the right tools. For instance, don’t try to take apart your Browning A-5 shotgun with your craftsman screwdrivers. If you want to tinker, invest in the right tools for the job.
2. Know your limitations. There are some things that our shop refuses to do because the job is outside of our expertise. It is simply better to send it off. If you are not mechanically inclined, you might not want to try to reline your own barrel. Be realistic with your abilities.
3. If you are going to modify your gun, have some money ready. Nothing wrong with trying, but if you can’t afford to fail, you shouldn’t try it. Can you afford to buy a second part for the one you ruined? Can you afford a competent gunsmith to fix your modification? If not, hold off.
Keep these rules in mind, and you can really have a lot of fun personalizing your gun.
“How much is my gun worth?” A great question that often leads to big disappointment. Our shop does written appraisals for insurance purposes, and from time to time we also have customers that want to trade a gun. What happens more often than not is that people are disappointed. Many people mistakingly believe that because a gun is old it must be valuable when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. I worked in a shop in a very rural area one time where many hunters had single shot shotguns they had inherited from their families. You could not believe how disappointed they were to discover that their gun was worth less than $100. The same thing happens with people and their collection of Glocks.
What most people discover about collecting guns is that you end up with a lot of not much. What makes a gun valuable is its worth to the gun community. Just because the “blue book” list it high still won’t get it sold. I recently had a conversation with a sports memorabilia distributor who echoed the same sentiments about all of those baseball cards you bought in the 80′s. Beckett may say your card is worth $40, but you would be happy if someone would just pay $5.
To truly know if you have something of value, you need to know the market value. That’s why Gunbroker and Guns America are the best places to see what something is worth. Even then, they are not always the true measure of a gun’s value. Sometimes the local market inflates or depreciates the value of a gun like the 4 S&W engraved revolvers I bought a few years ago in a local market.
The market had been flooded with these in the 80′s and 90′s. I saw them in a local shop, put them on Gunbroker and made about $300 per gun. They were undervalued locally, and worth a little more in an area that hadn’t seen any.
Most collections are simply an accumulation of stuff, and stuff isn’t worth that much. if you are going to collect you need to extremely wise and knowledgeable about the shooting sports. If that isn’t you, admit it and just enjoy shooting. A true collection contains rare and unique pieces. That distinguishes the true collector from the accumulator. So honestly, which are you?
