RFB Hunter ad

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This rifle is fractionally shorter than an AR10 with 16″ barrel but has less muzzle flash and delivers 300-400fps higher velocity. At 600 yards, that’s about 3 feet less bullet drop! While in Florida, I shot it sub-MOA with 168gr match … Continue reading →

Recycling food cans with a 9mm carbine.

Posted on March 29, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Take a 9mm carbine, top it with 3x scope and hang tins where the wind moves them a bit. Next, make the cans dance with 33 rounds of 9mm. Smiles all around are guaranteed.

Today’s range experiement

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Tried shooting RMR30 for a group despite wind moving both bullets and the gun itself. Gemtech G5 sound suppressor worked really well, but it was also a bit heavier than the tiny dedicated 22WMR can. Fifteen rounds of CCI Maxi … Continue reading →

Keltec SU16D: a weapon for tight spots

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Oleg Volk

SU16D has either a 9″ or a 12″ barrel (shown). With a sort stock, a 60-round magazine and a red dot sight, it’s quite a rapid room-cleaner. Loud, too.

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Oleg Volk

SU16 is my current favorite 223 — enough that it is my house gun. Mine is very heavily modified with Keltec and Red Lion parts, equipped with light/laser, red dot and a sound suppressor. The full-up weight is probably 50% … Continue reading →

What would you do to be free?

Posted on March 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

If the goal is to avoid indignities great and petty, how does one become more free? Not minding them is one way, but learning to ignore evil doesn’t free us or our beloved from its pysical manifestations. Spiritual freedom does … Continue reading →

One component of being free.

Posted on March 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

After years of thinking, I may have figured out which aspect of life makes a person feel un-free. It’s the frequency of having to perform submission rituals. When a feudal lord rides by peasants and they have to kneel in … Continue reading →

Going to SHOT show, I grabbed a random gun case from several on the floor. That proved a mistake — the case wouldn’t stay closed! Both latches popped off at intervals, and after a while it was held together as … Continue reading →
