M39 Finnish Mosin

Posted on June 21, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Shown with a typical Finnish marksman. For those who hand-load 7.62x54R for maximum accuracy, I recommend my friend John’s Western Bullet Co. as the source of reloadable brass. Most .312 bullets work well in these.

A very girly gun.

Posted on June 18, 2011 by Oleg Volk

It’s not pink. It’s black and so go with every outfit. Collapsible stock, low-recoil 5.45 caliber, sensuous long-stroke gas piston operation. All it’s missing is the sling. Romanian AK74 clone with Primary Arms red dot on a Midwest Industries rail.

Your rifle doesn’t have to swim in gun oil to work

Posted on June 17, 2011 by Oleg Volk

The rifle shown with the Armatac drum is mine. Thanks to the Timney trigger and free-floated barrel, it shoots very well. Instead of the unmagnified EOtech holographic sight shown in the video, I use a 3.5-15x Nightforce scope.

Anti-tank cannon

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Just the item for discouraging armored vehicles from going through your church walls. RPGs are more portable but lack stand-off range. TOW and similar guided missiles harder to come by.

Defend the castle!

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Recently, police have been involved in what looks like murder in the course of home invasion and murder with intimidation of witnesses and press. At this rate, I expect the distinction between the ordinary Ordnungspolizei and Einsatzgruppen to become insignificant. … Continue reading →

A mix-master AR15

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Oleg Volk

When a rifle isn’t handy, a tshirt referencing it keeps a body warm. Much to the disappointment of some readers of this blog. For those who have a leather fetish, both the holster and the belt are by Galco. Judging … Continue reading →

AXTS ambidextrous receiver

Posted on May 30, 2011 by Oleg Volk

AXTS AX556 receiver duplicates magazine and bold releases on both sides. Seems useful to me. Both additional controls are fenced to avoid accidental activation.

We should have never adopted the poodleshooter!

A: .223 is just too small! B: Are you saying US Army should have just kept the 45-70? A: That’s an idea…but make it work in a semi-auto. For people who prefer throwing 300-350 grains of lead with every trigger … Continue reading →
