RFB length

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Oleg Volk

To me, the support hand placement on the 18″ variant illustrates that the version with a 24″ barrel wouldn’t be too long. The long quad forend would allow greater iron sight radius for backup, as well as a tandem placement … Continue reading →

RFB Hunter ad

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This rifle is fractionally shorter than an AR10 with 16″ barrel but has less muzzle flash and delivers 300-400fps higher velocity. At 600 yards, that’s about 3 feet less bullet drop! While in Florida, I shot it sub-MOA with 168gr match … Continue reading →

Recycling food cans with a 9mm carbine.

Posted on March 29, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Take a 9mm carbine, top it with 3x scope and hang tins where the wind moves them a bit. Next, make the cans dance with 33 rounds of 9mm. Smiles all around are guaranteed.

Today’s range experiement

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Tried shooting RMR30 for a group despite wind moving both bullets and the gun itself. Gemtech G5 sound suppressor worked really well, but it was also a bit heavier than the tiny dedicated 22WMR can. Fifteen rounds of CCI Maxi … Continue reading →

Keltec SU16D: a weapon for tight spots

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Oleg Volk

SU16D has either a 9″ or a 12″ barrel (shown). With a sort stock, a 60-round magazine and a red dot sight, it’s quite a rapid room-cleaner. Loud, too.

Today’s work: Keltec SU16

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Oleg Volk

SU16 is my current favorite 223 — enough that it is my house gun. Mine is very heavily modified with Keltec and Red Lion parts, equipped with light/laser, red dot and a sound suppressor. The full-up weight is probably 50% … Continue reading →

Most video and photos will be up upon my return, but here’s a little sample of today’s range time. Glassing the target: The purpose of the 24″ barrel is reduced muzzle blast and about 200fps of added velocity over the … Continue reading →

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Today’s weather got up to 88*F — so Hailey and I went to Horse Quarters farm and she caught up on horseback riding. Somehow, she managed to stay cool and comfortable in the fancy outfit. Horses and other pets can’t … Continue reading →

Aperture sights for AK rifle

Posted on March 11, 2012 by Oleg Volk

While notch and post sights work reasonably well with young eyes and select-fire weapons, aperture sights are usually preferred for semi-auto rifles. In the AK world, that  includes Valemt, Galil and the new Russian AK12. Tech Sights and Texas Weapon … Continue reading →

Pistol in a garter is silly. That’s where spare magazines go.

From Czechpoint photo shoot. In this instance, I’d worry more about the Gorgon stare and less about the minor firearm factors…

Like the original AR15 boltface pictogram, this one is an in-joke for those in the know. I guess it’s the firearm equivalent of a masonic lodge pin. 1791 Apparel | Vepr Hunter 308

Two mounting options for AK types

Forward rail, in this case from SGM Tactical. Works well for red dot sights. Side clamp-on mount with Picatinny rail on top. Better for scopes.
