24″ RFB in use

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Oleg Volk

4-16x Vortex scope, Gemtech Sandstorm suppressor, Magpul VFG, RSA and sling. Same but with Keltec muzzle brake instead of the suppressor, and with Viridian X5L RS on the rail. I can’t wait to get it zeroed. Federal and Hornady both … Continue reading →

After 8 months, my new 7.62 suppressor tax stamp finally got approved by ATF. My RFB has been restored to the correct configuration. YHM BUIS, 1-4x illuminated scope and (not shown here) Viridian laser on the quad rail. With 4x … Continue reading →

Which of them is having more fun?

Posted on May 20, 2012 by Oleg Volk

The guy with an advanced .308 bullpup topped with a Nightforce scope… …or the kid with a GSG522 topped with a budget Primary Arms 1-4x? PS: The kid should have been wearing safety glasses. That was fixed as soon as … Continue reading →

Shotgun! Blast!

Posted on May 20, 2012 by Oleg Volk

As you can see, both recoil energetically. The difference in muzzle flash is mainly due to the barrel length, as they were firing the same ammunition. With both guns, you get to throw lead at the target by the pound, … Continue reading →

Trijicon Reflex 1×42

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I finally found a good sight for the KSG: fiber optic Reflex. It holds the recoil of slugs fine, has a wide field of view and a bright reticle. Fiber optic/tritium illumimation means I do not have to remember to … Continue reading →

A wisp of a girl…with a 12 gauge shotgun

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This girl and her sister are left-handed. Her parents and brother are right-handed. Bottom ejection (as with Browning BPS, Ithaca 37 and Keltec KSG) gets around this difference.

Keltec SU16 in use

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Oleg Volk

As I’ve mentioned before, SU16 is one of my favorite light rifles. It’s a clean-running, lightweight piston gun with good accuracy. It’s very simple, has mild recoil and can be customized extensively. SU16 works well suppressed. It’s main down side … Continue reading →

Obviously, the rifle would have to be wrapped against dust.

Don’t end up like Reginald Denny.

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Oleg Volk

SU16D12 The rail was designed by a Kel-tec employee and is one of several made for evaluation. The carbine can be fired with one hand if necessary and runs great with the 60-round Surefire magazine. I’d probably prefer a lighter … Continue reading →

What other .308 autoloader can be deployed rapidly from a subcompact car?

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Oleg Volk

For reference, the vehicle is the tiny Nissan Versa. If necessary, the rifle can be brought to bear and fired on a driver-side threat with one hand. RFB

In case your KSG doesn’t hold enough ammunition…

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Oleg Volk

…bring a dozen more rounds with you on a Mesa Tactical side-saddle. If you use 3″ shells, that would be an extra full pound of launch-able lead.

Dragon Leather holsters ride again

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Dennis made an awesome custom holster for my friend Dot. Another friend’s 14-year-old daughter is wearing it in the photo. As you can see, a small framed teenager can be comfortable with both a PMR30 on the hip and an … Continue reading →

RFB length

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Oleg Volk

To me, the support hand placement on the 18″ variant illustrates that the version with a 24″ barrel wouldn’t be too long. The long quad forend would allow greater iron sight radius for backup, as well as a tandem placement … Continue reading →

Keltec RFB at the range

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Jim Gilliland test-fired this RFB with 168 grain Setpoint ballistic tips and 175 grain Georgia Arms match ammunition. With 4x scope, he got roughly 1.5MOA. Last year, Mike Meador shot it with Federal Gold Match using a much higher-magnification scope … Continue reading →

RFB Hunter ad

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This rifle is fractionally shorter than an AR10 with 16″ barrel but has less muzzle flash and delivers 300-400fps higher velocity. At 600 yards, that’s about 3 feet less bullet drop! While in Florida, I shot it sub-MOA with 168gr match … Continue reading →
