Large-caliber fun in Virginia

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Oleg Volk

The forward-balanced firing position is necessary to counteract the formidable recoil of the weapon. This example was accurate enough for consistent 50m hits on a metal silhouette but penetration on 1/2″ thick steel was lacking. Might have to try teflon-coated … Continue reading →

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Oleg Volk

With firearms, same as with shoes, it really helps if the fit is personalized. This little carbine made by Doublestar uses an Ace stock with short length of pull and a very light barrel to make it easier for a … Continue reading →

“The shoulder thingie that goes up”

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I always wanted this carbine but finding spare magazines was a pain. Now that Black Dog Machine makes 30-round stick and 50-round drum magazines, I couldn’t resist. With three 50s and five 30s, I can literally “load on Sunday and … Continue reading →

Classic Uzi

Janine is firing tracers from it…she giggled like a little girl. Few things bring a bigger smile than swarms of angry little fireflies launched at steel targets at a safe distance.

Keeping powder dry

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Oleg Volk

As expected, firing flintlocks in a drizzle isn’t a very productive activity. Many misfires. Last year’s visit to Boston also reminded me that Massachusetts’ gun laws have become significantly more oppressive since 1775. The much-maligned British Crown cared less about … Continue reading →

JP muzzle brake

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Pro-production RMR30 22 Magnum carbine

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Oleg Volk

The shooter is 13 year old Brookie. First impressions: very accurate, no recoil, light. Stock needs intermediate positions (which it will on the production version). Red dot really helps quick aiming, but iron sights are pretty good and fold out … Continue reading →

Fun guns

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Oleg Volk

SAR21 bullpup rifle with integral laser (Singapore). Built-in 2x scope. Very nice ergonomics, including ambidextrous charging handle. Semi/auto switch is a cross-bolt in the stock. 9mm AR is good for practicing at pistol-only firing ranges.
