I wonder if Brady Campaign would now joinVirginia Gun Owners Forum…

Big Boy

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Henry Big Boy: ten rounds of .44 Magnum. The original in .44 Henry had only about 35% of the power of .44 Magum, the traditional 44-40 that descended from it a little less than half. Felt recoil is still negligible … Continue reading →

Rainier Arms rifle

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Built on AXTS receiver, it uses a medium weight barrel and the light, thin, skeletonized Samson forend. The balance is awesome. Not sure what to think of the 45* safety — it’s faster than the 90* but all my training … Continue reading →

Survival rifle

Posted on August 18, 2011 by Oleg Volk

M6 as a survival rifle confuses me. .410 is hardly an effective shotgun round, while .22LR is efficient but the rifle comes with primitive sights and a rather odd trigger. Switching from rimfire to centerfire is somewhat awkward, so the … Continue reading →

Aguila SSS 60grain ammunition

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Carteach and I just tried the same ammunition, Aguila SSS. His results were not positive — poor accuracy with bullets not even stabilizing. My results were a result of considerable research and quite positive. I tried SSS in a couple … Continue reading →

Offset backup sights

Posted on August 15, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I address similar BUIS to my precision 20″ AR15 but they were standard Yankee Hill sights on Midwest Industries 45* adapters. Dueck sights come with their own mounts and this solution is a little more streamlined. On the other hand, … Continue reading →

Henry Golden Boy .22 carbine

Posted on August 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Tom is left-handed, so a lever action works as well for him as a dedicated left-handed bolt action. His P22 is riding in a holster by Kevin Manley on a gun belt also made by Kevin.

Henry Big Boy

Posted on August 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

In March, I had an opportunity to shoot several rounds through a Henry Big Boy in .45 Colt. I am not, ordinarily, a fan of lever actions, but that one clicked with me. Having more rifles than range time, I … Continue reading →

Why AK-47?

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Two weeks ago, I got a note from Canada: I live in Canada where owning a firearm is not just problematic, but akin to signing a good part of your citizenship and rights away. The majority of people up here … Continue reading →

The right degree of subtlety

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Oleg Volk

This just like one of the shirts I wore to Defcon. People in the know would recognize it, others probably wouldn’t. AR15 bolt face sticker is another such design. It allows recognition by other gunnies with minimal attention from the … Continue reading →
