James Burton

ARBuildJunkie Editor in Chief, James Burton is a writer and shooter, immersed in gun culture since before he could walk. His earliest memories were smells of musty military surplus stores, his father’s large collection of H&K rifles and stacks of Soldier of Fortune magazine. Throughout his impressionable youth, family vacations were wandering the grounds twice a year at the Knob Creek County Machine Gun Shoot.
