For the pint-sized defender…

Posted on December 28, 2011 by Oleg Volk

…a half-gallon hat and a Coonan Cadet. Pity this reduced scale pistol is discontinued for now, but it may come back in the future. It uses shorter magazines than the standard model but still holds the save seven rounds. The … Continue reading →

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Amelia from Lux and Zett comic book. Contrary to the 1967 movie depiction, Bonnie and Clyde didn’t fall to .45 caliber submachine guns but to 30-06 BAR automatic rifle and .35 Remington 8 semi-auto rifles. When going into battle, experienced … Continue reading →

Very old photos (nsfw)

Posted on December 25, 2011 by Oleg Volk

These two were taken in 2005 with a 6MP Canon 10D. Looking at the RAW files, I see that working with 5D and 5D2 images spoiled me. Making these look good was rather tough.

Production RMR30 carbine arrived

Anna doesn’t like heavy rifles. To her, even an AK clone is too heavy, so this little carbine is much more to her liking. Loaded with 30 rounds of 22wmr, it weighs 2.3kg (4.2lbs). The production version differs from the … Continue reading →

A contemplative shooter

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Today, several of my friends went for a shooting walk out to another friend’s farm. I love being able to continue chatting without plugs or muffs being required, shooting at clays and targets of opportunity all the while.

Substance and style

Posted on December 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I think the appeal of lever actions is similar to the appeal of Steampunk and Victorian/Edwardian styles — functional enough to be useful, and intricate enough to be interesting. This one is a Henry carbine with really nice wood and … Continue reading →
