Reflex suppressor

Posted on October 19, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Part of the AmTac reflex suppressor goes over the barrel, behind the muzzle. That increases volume without adding too much length to the gun. Lancer carbon fiber forend provides thermal insulation.

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Just saw a link to an animation featuring sheriff’s kid shooting dad with a visibly unloaded Winchester rifle. The hammer on the safely carried rifle is shown in the uncocked position, followed immediately by the accidental shooting. People who are … Continue reading →

Athena at 12

Posted on September 17, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Good ammo for Sub2000

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Sub2000 (and most 9mm rifles) seem most accurate with lighter weight bullets. Zinc alloy ball made by MI Bullet gives about 2.5MOA and rather good penetration. These use fairly fast powders, so no flash from the longer barrel. Velocity, if I recall … Continue reading →

Handheld .50 caliber

Posted on August 23, 2016 by Oleg Volk

It carries well, shoots accurately and softly. For daily practice, it  accepts a .45ACP barrel and recoil spring. Guncrafter Industries #4 is the most impressive 1911 I’ve got to shoot yet.
