Ever wondered where all those Keltec rifles end up?

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Oleg Volk

The zombies are hoarding them for the apocalypse. Preferred caliber is 300Blackout, of course. When the night of the living dead comes, they won’t have to stumble around hoping to snag a slow human. Why try to catch the brain … Continue reading →

SU16 available in 300Blackout chambering.

Posted on September 8, 2012 by Oleg Volk

300Blackout is very attractive for short range (which is where 99 point something percent of defensive uses happen). It throws twice the lead of the .223Rem at reasonable velocity (ballistics approximate 7.62×39 but bullet selection is better). While subsonics are … Continue reading →

Why I like bullpups.

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Oleg Volk

A .308 rifle with a sound suppressor, BUIS and a low-magnification scope weights quite a bit. Add to that a 20-round and this RFB weighs 13.2 pounds (6kg). M14 and AR10 variants with the same 18″ barrel length weight the … Continue reading →

RFB: works well as configured

Posted on August 19, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Finally had a chance to fire the RFB with the new AAC 762SDN-6 (and shorter piston provided by Keltec) and 1-4x Nightforce scope. What an improvement over the previous set-up! For one, the cycling of the gun is now softer, … Continue reading →

SU16A light rifle

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Light weight, long sight radius, clean piston action, folds up for transport — looks like a useful walk-about carbine. Keltec site still has the old photo showing a plastic front sight, but the rifle has been upgraded since.

Same rifle, bigger caliber

Posted on July 17, 2012 by Oleg Volk

The logic of 300BLK is simple: twice the weight of metal at the cost of slightly less flat trajectory. At 100 yards, the difference in drop is only 2″, at 200 it grows to 8″. Still within point blank for … Continue reading →

PF22 conversion kit

Posted on July 11, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I am a great fan of .22 conversion kits. With PF9, it makes sense — PF9-22 is cheaper to shoot, has less noise and recoil and turns a 14oz defensive pistol into an 11oz kit gun. All that for $199, … Continue reading →

July 4 is the traditional occasion to show off BBQ guns. The rest of the summer, most people prefer to carry discreetly, and often that means wearing pocket pistols. A great variety of small revolvers and autoloaders, such as the … Continue reading →
