Here are some of my favorite gun magazines, I have subscribed to all of them at one point or another, and look for them at the newsstand when I know I am going to have a slow day and have some time to site and leaf through them.

Subscribing saves a lot of money over buying them at the newsstand – and some (like shotgun news can save you a lot of money).

I enjoy gun magazines quite a bit, the articles always give me something to think about, and I love looking at the new guns pictured in them.  I am leery of the reviews though as I tend to see ads for guns in the same article where they review them (except magazines like gun tests).

To me reading is both entertainment and education, It has enriched my life more than anything else besides family. Good magazines are a wonderful addition to you your reading program.  Sharing gun information is why I spent so much time adding the firearm manuals to my download section.

Coloring AR-15 Receiver Markings

This post is a little mall ninja, and coloring ar-15 reciever markings is not the most loved idea.

However, this is my AR, and I really like the white and red filled selector markings on HK firearms and wanted to replicate it on my firearm.

There are several ways of doing it, and I used a red lumber crayon on the AR in the video
Basically I just rubbed the crayon over the inscription and then wiped off the excess.  Just like ivory scrimshaw, the colorant filled the deeper cuts and was able to be wiped clean of the body.

You can dab enamel paint or fingernail polish into the engraving for a more durable color, but it is harder to remove it from the side of the gun. If you use a rag with too much thinner it will drip in and mix with the paint you want to keep. Not enough and it can smear on the body of your gun.

If you use crayon, be aware heat can make it run

If you use nail polish and decide to remove it, a tooth brush and nail polish remover does a good job.

I like how this looks, but you need to be careful what you use, and ensure its what you really want.  Some people like the look that comes from coloring AR-15 receiver markings, but many do not.
