Speaking of rimfire ammo shortage

Posted on January 30, 2015 by Oleg Volk

Ten months ago, I compared Keltec PLR22 and Crickett. Now, rimfire ammo availability is improving but everyone has a set view that it’s unavailable…at least for the prices they’d want to pay. That tips the balance towards the omnivorous Crickett … Continue reading →

Ignorance of the law

Posted on December 3, 2014 by Oleg Volk

One of the pivotal court cases restricting the rights of Americans was the 1939 US vs. Miller. It’s quite obvious from the evidence that Miller had no idea that he was breaking that specific law at the time he was … Continue reading →

A long time ago, I acquired a Primary Arms 4-14x scope with a front focal plane reticle. Recently, a friend in his 70s needed better glass for his .270 TC Venture deer rifle, so it moved onto his gun locker. … Continue reading →

My P1914 is back from restoration

Posted on September 29, 2014 by Oleg Volk

I got this rifle back around 2000 for $60. It has very little wood left and kicked most viciously on firing. It was, however, quite accurate. I had a “speedlock” kits installed in it, which made it cock on opening … Continue reading →

Pockets in women’s dresses

Posted on May 13, 2014 by Oleg Volk

This pretty dress has a major drawback: no pockets! Five rounds of .303 is good, but the magazine holds ten. Where to put additional chargers with rifle fodder… I guess the top of the dress works and isn’t much sillier … Continue reading →
