Crowdsourced shotgun

Posted on July 5, 2013 by Oleg Volk

A friend recently gave me an 870 shotgun. It lacked only a few important details, like the barrel or the intact buttstock. Fortunately, 870 is like an AR15 in terms of parts availability. A few days later, another friend took … Continue reading →

Прекрасный перевод

Posted on July 5, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Перевод А. Глебовской Легат, я получил приказ идти с когортой в Рим, По морю к Порту Итию, а там – путем сухим; Отряд мой отправленья ждет, взойдя на корабли, Но пусть мой меч другой возьмет. Остаться мне вели! Я прослужил … Continue reading →

A good deal in optics

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Primary Arms is coming out with an illuminated 1-6x scope with a BDC reticle for .223Rem. I tried out the prototypes and was pleasantly surprised: sharp optics, minimal distortion, very good eyebox even at 6x, and a clear rangefinding reticle. … Continue reading →

PSA from JMB

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Oleg Volk

These days, it can just as easily be 32ACP, another one of Browning’s creations. But the older, high quality pistols like this Beretta or the 1910 Mauser have the advantage of great triggers and minimal recoil. 22LR can also work, … Continue reading →

Girls just want to have fun.

Posted on July 2, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Cimarron’s faithful (other than the caliber) copy of the original 1860 Henry rifle is an odd firearms. Loading it is rather unorthodox, the magazine follower is external and can interfere with the hold under the magazine. Lever movement makes holding … Continue reading →

They grow up so fast

Posted on July 1, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Years ago, I took photos of Michael Williamson‘s daughter, the actress Morrigan Sanders. In the time that passed, her AR gained better iron sights and a 1.5×24 ACOG in place of the EOTech, but stayed pretty much the same otherwise. … Continue reading →

If you shoot 357Mag for effect, get a Coonan

Posted on July 1, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Full-power 357Mag recoil in revolvers is usually quite substantial. I tend to shoot 38Spl in mine unless carrying them, which I do very seldom. The Coonan, on the other hand, gives some muzzle flip but very minimal felt recoil. Shooting … Continue reading →
