KSG in use

Posted on October 26, 2015 by Oleg Volk

A very functional lightweight

Posted on July 17, 2015 by Oleg Volk

At the beginning, AR15 was supposed to be a lightweight carbine. MAG Tactical brought the concept back with AIR15, a carbine that’s under 4.5 pounds with the sight. While it ships with two Magpul 30-rounder, I handed it to my guest … Continue reading →

Alexandria Kincaid specializes in gun-related issues. Disclaimer: we did no live fire, hence the absence of eye protection. She brought the FS2000 and the Tavor, and Lyle from Ultimak provided the Mni-14.

Red dots on AKs and shotguns

Posted on June 14, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Having used Bulgarian, Polish and certain US polymer magazines, I am a convert. Steel is just too heavy for the same result. AK is a 3-4MOA rifle and yet nobody questions the utility of a red dot sight for improved … Continue reading →

L’il Ugly again

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Oleg Volk

I showed this carbine before, but this time it’s in a more realistic setting — with the user behind stout cover. While no match for 30-06AP, the tree would at least stop buzzgun emissions and buckshot. With the red dot, … Continue reading →

Little Ugly

Posted on May 11, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Good, old reliable M1 carbine made ugly for the sake of greater utility. Choate folding stock with pistol grip, Magpul AFG (mainly to keep the support hand away from the operating rod), Aimpoint Micro on Ultimak rail. The carbine is … Continue reading →
