Until recently, I worked at our Mt. Pleasant retail location. Sometimes, when newer customers walk in looking for a firearm to carry, they ask a lot of questions, which is a beautiful thing.

Some of the questions I would often get are:

Should I get a pistol with a safety?
What kind of safety features does this pistol have? Safety is critical to me.
I want a firearm to protect me and my family, what should I get? I'm kind of scared of guns though.

To demonstrate, they put 1,000 rounds through two AK rifles to show typical wear patterns, and reassure customers about their unlimited lifetime warranty.

What Is Free Float?

Posted by Palmetto State Armory on January 30, 2018

Chris from Palmetto State Armory explains the difference between standard and free-float AR-15 setups, highlighting that free-float designs allow the barrel to move without added pressure from the handguard, which can improve accuracy by reducing oscillation and harmonics. He demonstrates how removing components like the Delta ring and front sight post permits the barrel to float freely, thus enhancing the rifle's precision and reducing weight. For more information and additional firearm tips, Chris directs viewers to the Palmetto State Armory website.
