Pint-sized AR15

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Jackie is 5’1″. One of the two teen-sized rifles made for me by Doublestar fit her perfectly. Although she’s shot AKM47 before, she said those were rather large and heavy. Fitting the rifle to her stature ought to make for … Continue reading →

Adults shooting kids’ rifles

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Last weekend, I finally zeroed one of the Crickett rifles I have, the left-handed version. I zeroed it at 25m and then tried firing for effect. From prone position, I was able to hit 12ga shotgun shell hulls laid out … Continue reading →

Rainier Arms rifle

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Built on AXTS receiver, it uses a medium weight barrel and the light, thin, skeletonized Samson forend. The balance is awesome. Not sure what to think of the 45* safety — it’s faster than the 90* but all my training … Continue reading →

Offset backup sights

Posted on August 15, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I address similar BUIS to my precision 20″ AR15 but they were standard Yankee Hill sights on Midwest Industries 45* adapters. Dueck sights come with their own mounts and this solution is a little more streamlined. On the other hand, … Continue reading →

The right degree of subtlety

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Oleg Volk

This just like one of the shirts I wore to Defcon. People in the know would recognize it, others probably wouldn’t. AR15 bolt face sticker is another such design. It allows recognition by other gunnies with minimal attention from the … Continue reading →

“Teen rifle” by Doublestar

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Standard A2 AR15 is much too long and heavy for many new shooters, especially teenagers and smaller-statured women. The wonderful modularity of AR rifles means all these problems can be addressed. I had this rifle built specifically for training newbies. … Continue reading →
