Today’s range trip.

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Grace wanted more trigger time with her laser-equipped LCR. Ended up trying that, S&W 317 and 63 rimfire revolvers, a quiet Walther P22, Kel-tec PF9-22, Star S (.32ACP quasi-1911), HK P7, Kahr P9 and the SU22 shown here. Star S … Continue reading →

Chronograph and accuracy data

Posted on August 12, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Sometimes measurements confirm what we expect. For example, S&B 115 grain ball flies at 1060fps from an HK P7PSP but speeds up to 1340fps from JRC carbine. But I had no idea that 1980s vintage .22 Short fired from the … Continue reading →

Getting ready for a big weekend.

Posted on August 10, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I am planning two range days this weekend. Mostly shooting 22s, but a few larger guns are coming along. That means loading up magazines, too. How many rounds is that? Two full boxes, kindly provided by Lucky Gunner. The original … Continue reading →

Almost like cheating.

Posted on August 5, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Savage MKII-SR with Primary Arms 4-16x scope and Gemtech Alpine sound suppressor. Very much hearing safe. Finally zeroed it yesterday, with much running avoided by the use of the newly acquired spotting scope. 48x max magnification and clear optics meant … Continue reading →

SU16A light rifle

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Light weight, long sight radius, clean piston action, folds up for transport — looks like a useful walk-about carbine. Keltec site still has the old photo showing a plastic front sight, but the rifle has been upgraded since.

Sturmgewehr

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Had Brady Campaign and their ethically deficient ilk been around during WW2, they would have pushed for the disarmament of the guerrillas and other civilians…while turning a blind eye to massacres perpetrated by government troops and their pet paramilitaries. STG44, … Continue reading →

The best 1927 Thompson movie scene

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Miller’s Crossing has one of the best choreographed Thompson submachine gun scenes. I just have still photos of the 1927-A1 semi-auto carbine with a 100-round “pizza platter” drum. “Flash mob coming, you say? I should have enough for everybody.”

Barrett M98B .338 Lapua Magnum

Posted on August 1, 2012 by Oleg Volk

338 Lapua Magnum is a punchy round — 250gr bullet nominally leaves the muzzle at 3000fps, 300gr at 2700fps. My friends’ actual chronograph results are 2900fps with 300gr. In any case, it flies fast, flat and completely scrambles blocks of … Continue reading →
