Cheek-Eez Minuteman Review #shorts
Cheek Eez is a buttstock cheep pad made of Sorbothane which delivers exceptional shock absorbing qualities.
Ambgun first used the Cheek Eez to raise the buttstock comb on a Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun to achieve optimal cheek weld with proper eye to scope alignment….see our video, Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun for The Ambidextral Hunter.
https://youtu.be/in1iduin-hg
AmbGun is Currently testing the Henry 22Lr and 17 HMR Express and once again AmbGun is using the Cheek Eez to achieve proper eye alignment with a rifle scope.
https://www.ambgun.com/ambidextral-rifle/17hmr
On the Henry 22Lr, we used a ¼” Cheek Eez whereas on the 17 Express, with its taller buttstock comb, we used a 1/16” Cheek Eez. And our Mossberg MVP Predator got the ⅛” Cheek Eez.
Carefully clean the buttstock using the included alcohol wipes.
Find the centerline of the Cheek Eez
Expose the adhesive
Starting from the top centerline, press and work your way down the stock
Cheek Eez can follow some complex curves
Symmetrically placed it looks great.

Goat Guns - Minuteman Review #shorts #GGSKIT
You don’t need this, but it’s so cool you will want one…or more.
This is the AmbGun minuteman review of GoatGuns
These 1/3rd scale die cast gun models feature many moving parts.
The AR15 features a functioning charging handle, mag release, and trigger (though a bit mushy…Gieselle upgrade?). Magazines are loaded with three inert cartridges. The safety rotates and the butt stock is adjustable. The Suppressor or flash hider may be unthreaded.
Optional ACOG with those big bulbous Trijicon mounting nuts actually mount it to the pic rail. You can also add an optional vertical grip to your AR15 or M16
The AK47 features a rock in mag with the paddle release. The Charging Handle cycles and the safety moves. The dust cover can be removed just like the real thing. Trigger is a bit mushy, but that’s to be expected for most production AK’s.
Anyone who owns the real thing, is going to want one of these models. Anyone who can’t buy the real thing, will get plenty of vicarious satisfaction owning a Goat Gun. There are almost 30 different models. I can’t wait to see a lever action Goat Gun.

Henry 22LR Lever Action AQT Rematch #shorts
It’s been two years since AmbGun reviewed the Henry 22 Lever Action rifle.
Lever action rifles are so satisfying.
But at the time without a sling and running the stock sights, I was only able to manage a 189 on the Project Appleseed AQT.
Adding sling studs to accommodate a canvas GI Sling and a Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4 rifle scope so another shot at the AQT
Need to get the optic a bit further forward for proper “turkey neck cheek weld” eye relief and add about ¼” to the buttstock comb for proper sight alignment.
Nevertheless, with the sling and better sighting system I scored a 225, well into Rifleman territory.
Offhand I scored a 43, I shanked one shot. A high 40’s should be the norm.
Squatting, I scored a 48. Awesome.
Rapid fire prone a 42
And slow fire prone a 92
Solve the sight alignment, cheek weld issue, I should score into the mid 230’s…as well as my Ruger 10/22 or Tikka T1x.
A lightweight, thin, ambi manual action rimfire…hmmmmm
See Ambgun.com for further developments.

AmbGun Minuteman Review of the Mantis BlackbeardX #shorts
The Mantis BlackbeardX, exclusively for the AR15, is multiple products in one
The BlackbeardX BCG is a dry fire training laser that, within limits, can be adjusted to match your AR’s sighting system.
You can also use the training laser with the free Mantis Laser Academy app to automatically score your hits on targets.
Moreover the BBX BCG will also automatically reset your trigger…so you can dry fire without the hassle of manually cycling your rifle.
And embedded in the battery pack magazine that runs all of this is MantisX that provides feedback about the steadiness of your trigger manipulation. Are you anticipating recoil, are you jerking the trigger, are you “dragging wood”?
Via the MantisX app, you can earn your Basic and Advanced Rifleman patches.
MantisX app and the Laser Academy, Two separate apps performing very different functions. I suggest using an old phone for Mantis Laser Academy and your current phone for the MantisX scoring.
But I really found the autoresetting trigger hugely beneficial for practicing canted, point shooting. So beneficial that an “ambied” AR15 paired with BBX is no longer disparaged as a relic when compared to the modern, ambidextrous bullpups.

Mantis BlackbeardX for the AR15
What is Mantis BlackbeardX?
It is three things: a training laser, an auto trigger reset, and a device to detect movement during the firing sequene/trigger press…a Mantis X2.
BlackbeardX is an auto-resetting dry fire training laser for the AR15. That is with each dry fire shot a laser (green or red, your choice) is emitted and the trigger is automatically reset for quick follow-up shots. No manual cycling of the action is required.
The laser and auto-resetting trigger is handled by the Mantis BlackbardX “bolt carrier group” that quickly replaces your live fire AR15 bolt carrier group and charging handle.

AmbGun Preview Henry Lever Action Rimfire Rifles #shorts
The goal is to make the Henry 22LR lever gun perform as well or better than my Tikka T1x….as accurate but truly ambi. And 10 ounces lighter.
And to see just how close a Henry 17 HMR can come to replacing a 5.56 carbine.

Umarex Walther P22 Airsoft Pistol
Airsoft is a great tool for backyard or even indoor practice…excellent for improving your point shooting skills. Styrofoam cups make great reactive targets.
These tough little sub $30 airsoft pistols are quite a bargain. No CO2 cartridges needed. No propane or green gas leaks. Simple. Affordable. Reliable.

Springfield Armory Hellion - Minuteman Review AmbGun #shorts
Full ambi for optimal use of cover
Mag release AK like paddle press and strip
Bolt release is a fast b1tch slap…not t1tty pinch
Safety ambi but awkward
Charging handle is ambi, out of the way, has embedded forward assist, and supports muzzle up operation.
Trigger? Master the fundamentals and you can make it work.
Normal vs Suppressed Gas system options are too crude
Side ejection, but it clears ambi shooter’s face
Pop-up irons are excellent
Length of pull is…long
Overweight, but the weight is close to the body while shooting, but felt while carrying.
Height over grip makes it tippy
Manageable one handed operation
Pistol grip is an AR compatible BCM Gunfighter. Recommend Kyle Defoor shorty version.
Oozes durability
But More malfs than the American ambi alternatives
Optic is separated from barrel with structural polymer and dovetail latch

Springfield Armory Hellion - Part 2 Feature Weighted Analysis
In this episode, I’ll be giving value or weight to each feature to ultimately determine at what price I’d prefer the Hellion over the KelTec RDB, which we’ll use as the lowest, that is, the base price for the ambi bullpup rifles.
In each category, how much better in dollars is one rifle over another. Or another way to look at it, how much would I be willing to pay to get the weakest rifle to equal the best.

Rifle Dynamics RD700 AK47 - Ambgun Minuteman Review #shorts
Aimpoint T2 atop the “scout scope” like, UltiMak pic rail… a beautiful, low drag sighting system and it cowitnessess with the iron sights in the bottom 20% of the optic. Or run simple Tech-Sights to nearly double the sight radius.
The Rifle Dynamics features the Battle Arms EKG Trigger which “breathes new life into your AK”. Crisp and just under 4 pounds.
Light stamped steel receiver, a 14.5” barrel with a pinned, suppressor ready compensator keeps the weight and overall length down for muzzle up, ambidextrous “optimal use of cover”.
The beautiful, FDE Cerakote makes it hard to rattle can camo.
The safety is standard AK. It’s not ambi, so the Ambidextral Gunfighter will click the safety off during an “engagement” and leave it off until the fight is over.
Rock in mag engagement is somewhat alien to some American shooters, but once learned it’s plenty fast and you don’t have to tug on the mag to verify that it is seated.
If I had $3,500 to spend on a rifle and optics package what would I choose? the Rifle Dynamics AK with an AimPoint T2, three RDB’s each with VX-Freedom riflescopes, the Hellion with a Leupold 6HD Patrol, or the ACOG equipped AR15. See the AmbGun full featured review…

Konig Safe - Ambgun Minuteman Review #shorts
The Konig safe would not look out of place on a coffee table or alongside some premium Apple electronics.
There are no physical keys for this safe so it arrives programmed for the two RFID cards and two RFID key fobs.
Fingerprint reader and keypad entry
Smooth hydraulic arms are a delight you’ll want to share with friends.
Thin padding is effective like ensolite
Secure with tether or screw through the bottom into a solid surface
Features two usb ports that are only powered when charger is connected
Surface light remains lit while the charger is plugged in.
Manual recommends that charger not remain connected
When running on battery, ingress must be preceded by pressing the wake button.
Not charged by USB so mobility is undermined
Movement alarm is available, but must be enabled every time the safe is closed.
Konig website promises an app for managing the safe…coming this summer..next?
The Konig delivers living room elegance and probably resists jimmying efforts better than many competitors. Excellent for keeping a pistol, prescription drugs, and jewelry out of the hands of kids…or opportunistic thieves.

Leupold VX Freedom 1.5-4 Pig-Plex - Minuteman Review
The Hellion needs a lightweight LPVO that mounts low.
Leupold VX Freedom 1.5-4 power is light at 9.6 ounces
With a 1.56” eye piece, low rings 8/10th inch above the rail will co-witness with the Hellion’s iron sights.
Good enough glass for my discernment
Pig-Plex reticle fast target acquisition at close ranges, hold under for intermediate ranges, and hold over stadia out to 800 yards.
And a Hellion Maximum Point Blank Range of 425 yards.
Elevation and Windage dials are finger adjustable…tool less and coinless
$299 retail is an insane value for the American made Leupold optic
Negatives
First few clicks of dials are indistinct.
Should start at 1x magnification for binocular, both eyes open
Prefer First Focal Plane so reticle MOA would remain intact.
Leupold’s 8 ounce Mark IV Steel rings are too heavy
Aluminum Mark IV are light but large nuts obstruct charging handle
Remove thumb nuts and expose a quarter inch - 32tpi stud. Find that nut.
Didn’t use Leupold rings, but the VX-Freedom Pig-Plex is an excellent value.
Minimal weight, mounted low it elevates the Springfield Armory Hellion.

Springfield Armory Hellion - Aiming to Misbehave Review Part 1
Springfield Armory Hellion - a high quality, fully and perfectly mirrored ambidextrous, 5.56 bullpup carbine with a 16” barrel in a package with overall length of only 28.25”.
Why the obsession with a long barrel in a short package and perfectly mirrored controls? For the ambidextrous “optimal use of cover” perfectly mirrored controls means the Ambidextral Gunfighter can trust bilateral transfer of skill from one hand to the other. That is dynamic, “unconscious” ambi operation is not stymied and one isn’t taken out of “the zone” because the controls behave differently left and right handed. And short overall length means you can get up close to cover and move from one side to the other with the muzzle up.
All while still maintaining the ballistic advantage of a longer barrel.
