Pretty sure North American Cranes don’t migrate through Utah and aren’t nocturnal, but the CRANE-K can a little bit more flexible.

11.5” CRANE K (perhaps unsurprisingly) more than adequate for “GPR” work. It’s always interesting to test how configurations traditionally shoehorned into one role perform in another. Over the past few months, this setup has been rig by at home shooting well beyond the CQB ranges that it would typically be reserved for. What do you guys think?

PSA: As with most things, the best time to buy was yesterday. A lot of people are tuned into ammo stockpiles and worried about future availability, but defense priorities for specialty metals like Tungsten can cause the strangest of bottlenecks. An H1 buffer could be had for a Jackson less than a month ago and now are pushing 2-3x the price because of that shiny little silver weight. Not every retailer has caught up as old stock is likely going to sell at old prices, but snag an H2 or H3 while you can if you see one. Don’t expect prices to go down for likely years either as domestic production of Tungsten will not be spun up for at least a few years and the military demand for it in our munitions is not likely to decrease in the near future.
This year has been an exceptionally complex one for the family behind Munitionworks. On one hand, we have been incredibly blessed with the arrival of our first child. The business has also continued to grow and reinvest back into the business despite the slump in the broader industry. That reinvestment has allowed us to see the conclusion of several exciting projects that have been in the works for the better part of the past two years. On the other hand, that growth and the dramatic shift in my responsibilities have made it increasingly difficult to manage the day-to-day operations of the business. As I am sure many of you have seen, there are quite a few products that have been pending updates or in need of new product photos that reflect current offerings. Being a one-man operation, these responsibilities rest solely on my shoulders and the buck stops nowhere but with me.
As a company that strives to witness to our niche market sector by operating on Christian principles, it has become apparent that we are falling short of that standard by our inability to provide the level of attention and care due to every customer as an image bearer of God. In an effort to honor our current customers who have trusted us with their hard-earned money, we are taking this pause to settle our outstanding business with them by fulfilling their orders. The rifle company that grows, falls behind on orders, sits on extensive lead times of unfulfilled orders, and then closes its doors in silence is a tale as old as time. Over the past year especially, we have started to slip into this trap. While there is a blessing in the success, it is not right for our current customers to suffer in patience while we actively pursue for new ones.
So, what does this mean for Munitionworks? In the short term, we have plotted out a schedule to get right over the next two months. Our books will be closed to orders for new builds from November 5, 2025 through December 1, 2025. During this “get right” season, our priorities in order are as follows:
1) Fulfilling outstanding orders
2) Restructuring our CRM
3) Webstore housekeeping
We look forward to returning in December fresher, faster, and better.
Cling to the Lord; seek His face.
I disagreed with Charlie Kirk on a myriad of issues. Obviously, that doesn’t matter at this point. Thinking of not holding my wife and daughter again or the searing pain of them not being able to hug their husband and father one more time as a result of a tragic, senseless act of violence is sickening. As tragic as the video of the act is, even more heartbreaking are the videos of a loving father with his young children who will never truly get to know him. Whatever you thought of him in his life, it’s a strange reality for us in the United States to see someone so prominent executed for the whole world to see. Worse still is the response of many of his political enemies saying effectively “RIP Bozo” to one of the most amicable people in public life. While it isn’t everybody on one side or the other, the fact of the matter is that Charlie was radically centrist; a HUGE moderating voice on the American right. The fact that someone would do this (presumably) with political motivations to a Charlie Kirk speaks volumes about what they think ought be done to people who hold views more radical than he.
Despite my disagreements with him, I believe that his faith was genuine. He is surely with his Father in Heaven and absent the pain and toil of this mortal coil. As with many things in the Christian life, it is a difficult balance, but it is right to mourn death in this fallen world. In particular, it is appropriate to pray for his family and mourn their loss with them.
Take care of your families, stay prepared, and be vigilant.

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
One of the most tedious parts of the production process on our SPR uppers is the proofing. Instead of using a complex sled with an automated firing mechanism at a short range to extrapolate “theoretical” accuracy out of the box, it gets done the old fashioned way. Each upper is taken out, tested for function, roughly zeroed with a scope, and then grouped with match ammo using this exact setup at 100 yards: just a dude laying on a tarp with a bipod and a rear bag. This opens the performance up to those pesky variables like environmental factors, shooter fatigue, and load variability so that the end user has a general idea to form an expectation of how it will actually shoot on the range rather than in a lab.
