RFB Hunter ad
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.
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
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
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
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
Hanging out with the good people of Keltec this week
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
A nice rifle
Head Down/ATI rifle with Magpul furniture, Insight MRDS, Gemtech Halo and Milspec Monkey patch.
Beautiful weather for riding
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
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…
On alert
RMR30 carbine with 3x Primary Arms illuminated scope
AK boltface tshirt
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.
The best thing about taking new shooters to the range
Carbine shown is a Keltec SU22 carbine with AAC Prodigy suppressor and Primary Arms red dot.

An honorable obligation
Wedding vows are heavy on promises. Implied in them is the intent to keep the spouse safe. It’s not the promise to “protect by calling strangers to our aid” but to “cherish and protect”. The obligation is gender-neutral. A single … Continue reading

Got to see Mr. Dragon Leather on my last visit to Knoxville. Picked up a new pocket holster for PF9 with .22 conversion kit and Laserlyte laser (photos soon) — it’s so beautifully made, I wonder how I would be … Continue reading

Vepr Hunter .308
This rifle is positioned to compete with rifles like Remington 750 Woodmaster. The price, the weight and the other features are fairly similar. Vepr seems like a more robust design overall.
