Why a CZ527 carbine

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Oleg Volk

The original 7.62×39 M43 round was made for the SKS and later AK47 rifles. Since I have a vz58 compact rifle also chambered for it, why would I want a slower bolt action carbine? For one, it’s a work of … Continue reading →

Today’s snapshots

Posted on January 10, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Not quite as cold out today, so CZ527 came out to play. With iron sights, it’s a fast and handy brush carbine. With an optic, it’s set trigger allows considerable precision. Not warm enough to stay out long though… …so … Continue reading →

Most guns will do if you will

Posted on June 1, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Out of these three rifles, I’d have to go with the SKS by preference. SVT40 has a harsh recoil and complex disassembly, K31 has an awkward safety and the paper/foil clips have to be oriented in a specific way for … Continue reading →

Anime-grade cuteness

CZ527, the beautiful little performer

Posted on July 15, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Nice wood, excellent single set trigger. Not my gun, unfortunately. I borrowed it from a friend’s father. The father shoots it with handloads and gets consistent 1MOA groups with it. He uses it without a bipod, I added that just … Continue reading →

Tricking out an AK

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Oleg Volk

My friend’s Bulgarian AK clone with Insight MRDS on Ultimak rail, Ace M4 SOCOM stock. It remains streamlined and AK-simple, but the speed of target acquisition and recoil control improved. The changes added very little weight.
