Anyone subscribe to small arms review and like it? I've tried a number of gun rags in the past and have always been disappointed. I'v never looked into SAR before though. I'm thinking about getting a subscription and would like some feedback on them. Most importantly, are they accurate? Thanks in advance. |
Gees shaggy, mine always comes in a plain white envelope. No kidding. Return address Moose Lake Publishing. No mention of what is in the envelope. I guess it keeps the postal employees from going postal.  Same as shaggy. I've let all other mags lapse. This one I read and keep. I find it well worth the extra bucks. |
It wasn't as if he was mangling it just because it was a gun mag - he mangled everything. At my apartment in NYC, the mailbox opens with a key but also has a small slot for envelopes. Rather than go to the trouble of opening the door to the box and placing magazine in there, he apparently tries to stuff entire mags through the slot. Probably the same drooling idiot who kept trying to hammer the square peg through the round hole as a kid.

Not just happenign to you Shaggy.. I get that too.. I bought all 4 copies of Life Magazine from Sept 1943, cause I got a 1903a3 made in Sept. of 43 and thought those mags would be cool to have... They came in a tyvek evvolope, and the mail man folded them in half to fit the mail box... Creased them right down the middle, I was pissed.. |

I used to take it as a subscription and I really liked it, but… Over time there started to be more and more issues of things I don’t really care too much about. One that pops to mind is the issue or it may have even been a series on knives/bayonets and telling the difference between the real and fake M9s and things like that. Like I said; I personally am not really interested in these kinda things. Just my thoughts though. This kinda seemed to be the direction the mag was heading I at that point and then they whip up an article on building an indoor BB gun range in your garage. This is defiantly not why I subscribed to such an expensive (relatively) magazine. I thought the quality and caliber of the SAR writers (the usual suspects) would have been way beyond that, but that was apparently OK with Dan Shea. Whether that’s the direction the mag was going or that they had run out of other things to write about I don’t know, but I decided I would not be renewing my subscription. |

I stopped my subscription a long time ago, about the time when the main story was toy soldiers or something like that. Only magazines that have never been a disappointment were ShotgunNews, Gunlist. The old magazine "Fighting Firearms" was super, but they dont publish it anymore. |
