Minimal upgrades for a Romanian AK
Friends just dragged in this curious collection of parts. I am puzzled by seemingly ratty weapons being used by very competent people. The grip got an upgrade. But what about the thin, cold wire stock!?
Microphone advice needed
I am looking for two microphones for use with Canon XA20 video camera. One would be an on-camera mike (something like Audio-Technica AT8022), the other a remote (something like Sennheiser AVX). Knowing entirely too little about audio recording, I need advice on what’s … Continue reading

Subcompact camera update
Sony RX100 IV proved a disappointment. Image quality is well below my expectations with poor colors, and the usability for video is poor with focus problems. My eyeglasses push the pop-up viewfinder out of alignment, so that’s only marginally helpful. … Continue reading
Good parenting is more than…
…just taking your two champion kids to World Steel Championship 2015 and shooting along with them, it’s also about horsey rides even if the kids are already teenagers.

Pass it on!
That Volquartsen Scorpion is worth a lot more in competent hands…even if those hands are only eight years old.
