Posted on January 30, 2017 by Oleg Volk

A good friend has to sell a 5-inch double-stack Armscor 22TCM/9mm Luger barrel combo. At Bud’s, it runs $621 cash price, which is the lowest retail anywhere. He bought it with 500 rounds of 22TCM ammunition, of which 490 come … Continue reading →

Dangerously bad ammunition (now with updated video)

Posted on December 25, 2016 by Oleg Volk

I posted this video when it became clear that the problems with OATH ammunition are the result of a systematic disregard for quality control. After the first batch of 12ga squibs, they assured me it was limited to one batch … Continue reading →

Why not both?

Posted on December 13, 2016 by Oleg Volk

I keep seeing comments along the lines of: “Instead of telling women to carry guns, teach men not to rape.” Why should the two measures be exclusive of each other? The same applies to self-defense at home: 911 on the … Continue reading →

A quiet day in nature

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Oleg Volk

I love Tennessee Autumn…mid-November with 70*F weather. The targets we set up in the woods get populated with lead and copper, but without our ears getting a beating. This rifle is one of five SU16s built by keltec in 300 … Continue reading →

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 →

New manufacture 9×18 Makarov ball — it’s curious to see “Red Army” branding on Polish made ammo, considering how poorly the current Poles think of the USSR.

A prepper’s dilemma

Posted on September 9, 2016 by Oleg Volk

After the tour of Federal Ammunition plant in Anoka, I am convinced that fewer rounds of good ammo beat more bulk milsurp. The QC process at Federal is rather more impressive than the lack thereof that’s evident from the results … Continue reading →

OATH TSR slug accuracy

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Oleg Volk

The makers of TSR slug never tested it in rifled barrels, and recommended it only for smoothbore pumps or other manual action shotguns. I tried it in Winchester SX3 Cantilever deer gun. Results: mild recoil (gas autoloading must be doing its … Continue reading →

Good ammo for Sub2000

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Sub2000 (and most 9mm rifles) seem most accurate with lighter weight bullets. Zinc alloy ball made by MI Bullet gives about 2.5MOA and rather good penetration. These use fairly fast powders, so no flash from the longer barrel. Velocity, if I recall … Continue reading →
