Rainier Arms rifle

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Two things are special about this rifle: AXTS receiver with all controls duplicated on left and right sides, and the Samson rail is very light and makes for an excellent balance.

Luck is often on the side of large magazines

See Ballistics by the Inch for the actual velocity numbers. 240gr Hydro-shock at 1600fps+ seems quite respectable, especially since the recoil in this gun is very mild. I got this carbine after trying the 45Colt version and being impressed with the low recoil and good accuracy with open sights.

Promo for Boberg Arms

Posted on November 12, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Boberg Arms | Meco Holsters

This pistol has a longer barrel than usual for the slide length. Roughbaugh R9 (2.9″) yields 885fps with this round, while XR9-S gets around 1030fps and does so with significantly lower recoil. Rotating breech does a great job of taming the kick, and the chamber is fully supported because no fed ramp is necessary with the straight-line feed.

Meco mag pouch shown is a tuckable design, designed for maximum concealment.

An awesome pistol deserves a matching holster

Meco holster for Boberg XR9S. The fit and finish on both are amazingly good.

Good carbine for new shooters

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Integrally suppressed 10-22 (AAC barrel) with 4x Leupold scope and 25-rd magazine. I try to start new shooters with quiet, accurate and easily operated firearms. It’s important to make the first session fun. Once trigger control and sight alignment are figured out on paper, reactive targets can come out to provide positive reinforcement for hits.

Ruger 22/45 mk3 with Gemtech Alpine suppressor, Primary Arms green dot sight and Viridian C5L light/laser. This belongs to a friend. Entirely coincidentally, squirrels and other rodents around his house have a very high rate of sudden heart attacks.

Another shooter joins the ranks

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Today, my friends and I taught a new shooter. Vlad did most of the coaching. Under his expert guidance, Jackie went from never having shot pistol before to hitting bowling pins with a suppressed Walther P22 at 25 yards. She then shot a suppressed Glock G17.

She also shot integrally suppressed 10-22 (with the awesome Timney trigger courtesy of my friend Marshall) and a suppressed Keltec SU22. Clays within a hundred yards were severely menaced. At that point, Vlad fired a couple of magazines through his Glock 35 and Jackie’s senses reeled. That was so noisy!

She did shoot an AR15 and an AK74 clone under the direction of a couple of Army snipers. We ran out of daylight after that. Our trainee kept up excellent safety practices. Up until today, her whole experience with guns was assembly/disassembly of an AK47 in high school and a few shots fired in college.Video and photos coming soon.
