Capable authors are doing well

Posted on July 22, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Peter Grant’s science fiction books (with my covers) are doing very well on Amazon. If you have not read them yet, this is a good time to order.

Just got back from a photo shoot. The day was hot and humid, so the model’s face had to be wiped dry of the sweat every few minutes.

Lauren is a professional classical musician. She plays a two hundred year old fiddle. She is very good. While she’s a trained martial artist, she’d rather not fight with bare hands. An injury would damage or end her career. Fortunately, … Continue reading →

What’s a little rain and hail to a free spirit?

Posted on July 13, 2013 by Oleg Volk

One of the recent visitors took advantage of the inclement weather. The rain warmed up in the end but it started out with hail. The volume of precipitation was hard enough to darken the skies perceptibly, all the way down … Continue reading →

A new revolver arrived recently, along with a very impressive rig from El Paso Saddlery. The new gun is for fun and practice, and comes as a pair with a longer-barreled target counterpart. One major argument for the single action … 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 →

Crowdsourced shotgun

Posted on July 5, 2013 by Oleg Volk

A friend recently gave me an 870 shotgun. It lacked only a few important details, like the barrel or the intact buttstock. Fortunately, 870 is like an AR15 in terms of parts availability. A few days later, another friend took … Continue reading →

Cimarron’s faithful (other than the caliber) copy of the original 1860 Henry rifle is an odd firearms. Loading it is rather unorthodox, the magazine follower is external and can interfere with the hold under the magazine. Lever movement makes holding … Continue reading →

They grow up so fast

Posted on July 1, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Years ago, I took photos of Michael Williamson‘s daughter, the actress Morrigan Sanders. In the time that passed, her AR gained better iron sights and a 1.5×24 ACOG in place of the EOTech, but stayed pretty much the same otherwise. … Continue reading →
