My favorite stock SU16

Posted on July 18, 2013 by Oleg Volk

I have two SU16E variants, both modified rather extensively. But the original concept of SU16 was the “light rifle”, simple and compact. Enter the new version of SU16A — the same long-stroke piston, 18.5″ barrel for high muzzle velocity and … Continue reading →

Guns aren’t the solution…except when they are.

Posted on July 6, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Opponents of firearms for effective self-defense tell others to run away from danger, to learn martial arts, or to “give the bad guy what he wants”. Not everyone can follow that advice…in fact, almost no one can. Least of all, … Continue reading →

Keltec P32 pistol in Swiss use

Posted on June 1, 2013 by Oleg Volk

P210 and P220 are the official pistols in Swiss army, militia and some police use. I also saw Glock and Sphinx pistols in police holsters. But the most common “unofficial” sidearm seems to be the P32. My Swiss friends estimate … Continue reading →

RFB in mid-cycle

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Oleg Volk

No muzzle rise even while the bolt is still moving forward to chamber the next round.

It fits anywhere.

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Oleg Volk

The reason so many news accounts of self-defense mention pocket-sized pistols is their convenience. A .45 would be better than a .380 but the latter gets carried more, especially by people who don’t dress around the gun. A picket holster … Continue reading →

Varmints beware

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Oleg Volk

With muzzle velocity near 1450fps with 40gr defensive ammunition and higher than that with 30gr varmint rounds, PMR30 shoots flat without much recoil. The lack of recoil is helpful considering the precarious perch a rise has on horseback. Last summer, … Continue reading →

Keep ammo where it belongs.

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Sidesaddles are bulky, and most people I know don’t wear shotshell carriers or ammo belts around the house or in a vehicle. Hence, the KSG.

Getting a handle on the situation

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Erin Palette’s tricked out Sub2000 as of November 2012. It had everything that a 9mm carbine needs to be useful except one thing. It lacked an extended charging handle. Sub2000 has a fairly stiff recoil spring. It’s location and the … Continue reading →

So proud of our students…we treat them as morons!

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Oleg Volk

University of Colorado is in the news, but they are hardly exceptional in the typically dismissive and disrespectful treatment of students by colleges. Typical rules of student conduct presume a retarded minor child and not a young adult — or, … Continue reading →

After a string of fire.

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Suppressed SU22 is light enough and quiet enough for a comfortable social outing in the woods of Tennessee. Everyone shot suppressed that day, so the ear plugs aren’t in evidence.

Kel-Tec SU16D short-barreled rifle in action

Decorative Camouflage, Functional Rifle

Posted on November 27, 2012 by Oleg Volk

For full functionality, the camo pattern would have had to be a little larger in scale and more subdued in color. But this gun is mostly for fun. On the practical side, RFB is short, handy and may be fired … Continue reading →

Rapid fire capable .308

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Straight stock layout? Check. Battlecomp muzzle brake? Check. This RFB didn’t rise at all on firing. The SWFA scope also helped: unusually for a 1-4x, it’s a front focal plane design with a twist: at 1x, it has thick cross-hairs … Continue reading →
