A roll in the hayloft with a Czech beauty

Posted on October 22, 2016 by Oleg Volk

UK59 (“universal machinegun”) in 7.62x54R shows obvious ZB26/Bren features, but adds a unique cocking with the movable pistol grip. It also has the infamous shoulder thingie that goes up. My friend tells me that hay bales are actually quite good … Continue reading →

Good ammo for Sub2000

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Oleg Volk
