My typical work day

Posted on July 11, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Taking a break between photos to try out a 300 Blackout barrel for my ARAK21. It worked well and the recoil was almost imperceptible. The optic is a Primary Arms 1-6x. (Photos by Bob Faxon)

Nothing but chunks!

Posted on July 11, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Recently, I was present at a Condition 1 beginning AR15 class. One of my models attended, I took photos. At the end of the class, we set up one of the 3D targets from IDTS (designed by my friend Tatiana Whitlock) … Continue reading →

Death by Chocolate

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Oleg Volk

This rifle has a name. Sweet! The color actually blends in the environment pretty well. Spotted at Condition One carbine course. Excellent training, by the way, very similar to the Swiss approach.

Not an Operator.

Posted on June 23, 2014 by Oleg Volk

My friend isn’t Army, Marines or special operations ninja. Instead of a short-barreled MP5, a Sub2000 has to suffice. It works. Keltec weapon light on a rail forend, 50 round drum that actually functions, red dot sight, extended charging handle, … Continue reading →

Keltec RFB in teenage hands

Posted on June 20, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Sarah 15, under 100 pounds and left-handed. Forward ejecting RFB works fine for her even though it tips the scales at 14.2lb fully scoped, BUISed, suppressed and loaded. The balance is far enough back for comfortable hold. I used this … Continue reading →

Red dots on AKs and shotguns

Posted on June 14, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Having used Bulgarian, Polish and certain US polymer magazines, I am a convert. Steel is just too heavy for the same result. AK is a 3-4MOA rifle and yet nobody questions the utility of a red dot sight for improved … Continue reading →

L’il Ugly again

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Oleg Volk

I showed this carbine before, but this time it’s in a more realistic setting — with the user behind stout cover. While no match for 30-06AP, the tree would at least stop buzzgun emissions and buckshot. With the red dot, … Continue reading →

Larger magazines for Vepr .308 rifle

Posted on June 8, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Standard Vepr .308 comes with a 5rd and a 10rd magazines in polymer. In the past, two companies made 30-rd metal mags, but neither produces them now. Just found out that SGM Tactical makes all-polymer 25-rounders and tried them out … Continue reading →

Alexandria behind the gun

Posted on May 21, 2014 by Oleg Volk

M98K Mauser carbine, Walther P38 pistol. As usual, don’t pull a trigger on live ammo without eye and ear protection…unless fighting for your life.

Mixed couple

Mini14 and AR in one family…that’s crazier than Romeo and Juliet or Windows and Mac…must be true love! (Could be worse. AR and AK in incompatible calibers…)

Posted on May 19, 2014 by Oleg Volk

This lawyer lady has some nifty rifles. I bet this one works well in the snow. FS2000 with Gemtech G5 and Aimpoint sight.

Forget guns, just learn karate! Right?

Posted on May 19, 2014 by Oleg Volk

One of the most famous martial arts, karate, evolved on Japanese-occupied Okinawa. While the current sport version concentrates on the empty hand style, the original used a variety of improvised weapons. They weren’t as good as swords or spears, but … Continue reading →
