From time to time, we like to reach out to different firearms manufacturers like Fortis Manufacturing to hear first hand what they’re all about, as well as perhaps get their advice on builds. When it comes to building an AR, we find manufacturers always have some interesting perspectives. Most recently, we reached out to Fortis CEO, Paul Hwang. The interview below is a result of that conversation.
FM Products has built a 9mm PPC with a unique design, which its designer says addresses issues inherent to most PPCs. To learn more, we reached out to that designer…FM Product’s Paul Noonan.

To learn more about Gun Gallery and why many consider it a firearms mecca, we turned to manager/gun guru, Neil Batelli. We talk ARs, clone builds, RECCE rifles, his love for the mini-RECCE and more.
Attending a Project Appleseed program is an ideal way to develop the basic rifle skills you need, prior to moving on to more advanced courses. We’ve heard from experts about their feelings on the value of the program, but to learn more about why simply having a rifle doesn’t make you a rifleman, we reached out Tom Kehoe from Project Appleseed.
We’re passionate about learning the ins and outs of companies and the how and why behind their products. One unique trigger that has repeatedly caught our eye is the Hiperfire Hipertouch. To learn more about the idea behind its design, we reached out the the founder and CEO of Hiperfire, Terry Bender.
Shooting ARs in competitive setting is a tremendous amount of fun. Requiring just a basic build and some gear, there’s little excuse for not getting off the couch and giving it go.

On April 26th, Modlite will launch a pair of weapon mounted lights…one (PLH) a general purpose light, and the other (OKW) for use on DMR rifles with an LPVO. To learn more about Modlite, we reached out to its founder, Cory Starr.
Professional 3-Gun competitor Joe Farewell left the relative comfort of a full-time job in law enforcement to pursue a career in training and 3-Gun competition.

Ash Hess is a skilled competitive shooter and the individual who rewrote the Army’s Marksmanship Manual. He is also involved with sales at one of the world’s greatest firearms manufacturers, Knight’s Armament. We spoke with Ash about how we can best improve not only our shooting skills, but the firearms we build.
This past weekend, a very special semi-auto precision rifle match was held in Blakely, Georgia. This first ever “A Day in the Arena” gas gun match, presented by Ash Hess and Jack Leuba allowed both novices and pros to join together enjoy a beautiful day on an approachable yet challenging course of fire…all to share their collective love for ARs and precision shooting.
