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 →

Have you ever wondered what “SSG” means?

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Steyr SSG08 isn’t pretty. Like PKM and RPG7 it’s what you haul out when utility trumps aesthetics. 12-42x Nightforce scope might be a bit much for it, but it does help to see the whites of their eyes at very … Continue reading →

CMMG piston rifle

Posted on January 14, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This CMMG piston rifle is special to me because much of it was designed by my friend Bernie White — the same man who designed the original Desert Eagle pistol. When Bernie designs something, it usually works well because he … Continue reading →
