Outdoor fun in mid-December

Posted on December 21, 2015 by Oleg Volk

Beck Defense carbine in 7.62×35(300 Blackout). For more effective warming of the environment, .510 Beck — in this instance, a 690 grain monolithic subsonic. Another Beck shortie. Contrary to my expectations based on using most other suppressed ARs, these rifles … Continue reading →

Two challenges remain.

Posted on May 2, 2015 by Oleg Volk

I have two issues with which I could use help. The first is my computer — it still has interrupted mouse input, where every so often (sometimes every  few minutes, others every few seconds), the cursor freezes for as little as … Continue reading →

Recent fun and games.

Posted on May 25, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Both days featured sunshine, rain, snow and hail mixed up randomly. The outfit looks goofy but was very comfortable and practical. Schmidt-Rubin stripper clips are goofier by far. Day one featured Sig550 and P210, Day two K31 and P210, including … Continue reading →

Faxon uppers — a better mousetrap.

Posted on October 17, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Today, I managed to forget the box containing almost all the ammo, the spotting scope and the chronograph. So no range report with SSG69 or Henry Big Boy. I did have 75 rounds of 32CP, enough to discover that Star … Continue reading →

Chronograph and accuracy data

Posted on August 12, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Sometimes measurements confirm what we expect. For example, S&B 115 grain ball flies at 1060fps from an HK P7PSP but speeds up to 1340fps from JRC carbine. But I had no idea that 1980s vintage .22 Short fired from the … Continue reading →
