This week on Slam Fire Radio, the hosts recover from their Black Friday spending sprees and dive into winter projects. Tony is deep into the weeds of 10/22 customization, comparing receiver options and dealing with stiff charging handles. Kyle reviews his massive haul of parts, including a PSA upper and a new carbon fiber handguard, while recapping a malfunction-heavy shotgun match.
