Quoted on Voice of Russia

Posted on September 25, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Recently, I responded to questions from a journalist writing for an English-language publication there. The article, Gun Controlling Your Children: a Family Affair just came out. Technically, it has several phrasing and factual errors but the overall tone and the amount of space given to pro-RKBA views is encouraging.

Leader 50 finally enters productions.

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Last week, I went to Micor Defense in Decatur, AL with Charles St.George and other colleagues. We test-fired the updated Leader 50 and looked at the first parts produced for the initial batch of rifles.

We chronographed the gun, tried it with scope and red dot sights. Since the rifle is short and light enough for off-hand firing, a red dot is a good option for CQB use. Shown with lightweight Atlas bipod.

Feedback from the shooter: “Barret kicks like a mule, this gun kicks like a dog.”

Average velocity with M33 ball from the 24″ barrel was right under 2800fps.

The production rifle will look different in minor details, but the design is pretty much finalized. You can pre-order it now for early 2013 delivery.

Meco holster and Boberg XR9-S

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Boberg XR9-S “platinum” edition. It’s the most advanced pistol design out there, with a long barrel in a short slide, excellent trigger, great accuracy and minimal felt recoil. I am very much a fan.

I mentioned Meco holsters before. 1 | 2 Robert does a great job with leather.

When the belt is cinched, the holster lays flat against the body.

There’s something neat about rotary mags.

Offensive

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Of all offensive legal and political concepts, permit to work has to be among the worst. It’s absence gives people the choice between begging and perishing. Hopefully, with the increased amount of work done on-line and across borders, the state’s ability to enforce this travesty would decline.

Armed with a gun she made.

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Kaitlyn Lemmons is a 07 manufacturer. She made the semi-auto closed bolt PPSh42 that’s in her hands. I was very impressed by the quality of the weapons she produces.

Ever wondered where all those Keltec rifles end up?

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Oleg Volk

The zombies are hoarding them for the apocalypse. Preferred caliber is 300Blackout, of course. When the night of the living dead comes, they won’t have to stumble around hoping to snag a slow human. Why try to catch the brain carrier when they could knock the brain right out of the skull with hydrostatic pressure and then savor at leisure. Ten foot tall zombies with guns. There ought to be a law or something!

Does this look heavy to you?

She doesn’t seem to have much trouble aiming the rifle with a scope and a 50rd drum. The rest of us might just need a few more minutes of daily exercise.

I like Tennessee. I get to work with models who show up wearing their own M1911s in .45ACP, and who are already competent with assorted weapons.

A dreaded assault pistol (by California law)

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This 1910 Bergmann, a 6-shot 9mm pistol, is ruled a banned assault weapon by California regulations. Semi-automatic with magazine outside the grip is evil incarnate in the eyes of their lawmakers. That’s a pretty crazy, but then what isn’t about California lawmakers these days…

Device 06H

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Experimental German rifle made in 1944, the first of the roller-lock delayed blowback designes that eventually became CETME and HK .308s. This one is in 7.92×33. It’s crude, simple and works well. Recoil is minimal, with two distinct stages. Sights are simple and I found them hard to see on dark backgrounds.

I shot a couple of rounds sitting at 25 yards to check zero. Zero checked out. Ammo: 123gr FNM.

These were taken during video filming in cooperation with Forgotten Weapons.
