Why aren’t most muzzle devices attached like this?

Posted on November 1, 2014 by Oleg Volk

When I first got vz58 in .223, it arrived with an effective but loud muzzle brake. I deemed it unnecessary and wanted to replace it with a flash hider. Fortunately,  at least four different options are readily available. I got two … Continue reading →

What I like about the upcoming Keltec RDB

Posted on October 20, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Bottom ejection is left and right hand compatible. Felt recoil is extremely low without a compensator — which makes me really wonder about the concussive muzzle brake installed on this demo gun. Great trigger, reversible charging handle, excellent accuracy. 1-6x … Continue reading →

I really like vz58 in .223

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Oleg Volk

While 7.62×39 version is cute, tiny and pretty punchy, the .223 is more of an all-around fighting rifle. Using the same barrel blank as the 7.62, the 5.56mm version is more accurate, heats up slower and has less recoil. In … Continue reading →

Rapid fire

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Steve from Shootsteel.com is running his AR. PWS FSC muzzle brake is loud but effective. The scope is Weaver 1.5-6x. I shot this rifle today as well, it worked as well off-hand as supported.

Tavor musings

Posted on September 29, 2014 by Oleg Volk

I have a left-hand bolt for my Tavor but had no idea how to install it. At this weekend’s Bullpup Convention at Rockcastle Shooting Center, Casey Flack from IWI had an armorer’s class on doing the conversion. It takes basic tools, … Continue reading →

Short and long range Israeli martial arts

Posted on September 25, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Tavor for the long range. Krav Maga for the short. I suppose the Glock would be for the medium, or when long guns would be inexpedient in confined spaces. Neat Kydex by Raven Concealment.

Battlepack

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Oleg Volk

I haven’t seen sealed battlepacks since the South African 300-rounders. Now PPU is bringing them to the US. They look pretty useful for long-term storage.

Pretty in pink

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Oleg Volk

It seems like every other military rifle design borrows heavily from the AR18 and AR180 design, yet very few of them were built and fewer yet adopted by institutional users.

I blame DDB!

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Back in 1994-95, David Dyer-Bennet was the main factor behind my increased interest in RKBA. His reasoned explanation of how he saw reality were compelling. He also had the books of RA Heinlein on his side. By 1996, I looked … Continue reading →

Nice Galil.

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Sadly, the natives of Israel can’t have it. While rifle-toting soldiers and reservists are a common sight in Israel, actually buying a modern for personal ownership is nearly impossible for their citizens. And the down side to the issued weapons … Continue reading →

Almost a DMR

Posted on August 17, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Eight-year-old Taylor is running his dad’s AR15 with a 3×20 scope mounted, old-school, on the carry handle.  Two and a half inch group at 50 yards isn’t a bad start for the first time he shot anything larger than a 10-22. This … Continue reading →

Alexandria Kincaid specializes in gun-related issues. Disclaimer: we did no live fire, hence the absence of eye protection. She brought the FS2000 and the Tavor, and Lyle from Ultimak provided the Mni-14.

Death by Chocolate

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Oleg Volk

This rifle has a name. Sweet! The color actually blends in the environment pretty well. Spotted at Condition One carbine course. Excellent training, by the way, very similar to the Swiss approach.
