Updating the light rifle

Posted on February 7, 2014 by Oleg Volk

One of my colleagues stopped by. She didn’t bring any of her own rifles, but we borrowed a couple from a mutual friend. Start with a standard light-barreled Colt 16″ AR carbine. Add a Trijicon RMR on a see-through mount. … Continue reading →

Light rifles and heavy

Posted on December 18, 2013 by Oleg Volk

A better sight for the Little Badger

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Putting the MARS on the little single-shot .22 was a joke. The sight was too big and it sat much too high over the bore. The little Lucid M7 is smaller and much cheaper and so a closer match to … Continue reading →

Varmints beware

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Oleg Volk

With muzzle velocity near 1450fps with 40gr defensive ammunition and higher than that with 30gr varmint rounds, PMR30 shoots flat without much recoil. The lack of recoil is helpful considering the precarious perch a rise has on horseback. Last summer, … Continue reading →

Sufficiently large quantity has a quality of its own

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Targets at the Bullpup Shoot were steel clangers. Easy for a .223 with a 4x optic, much harder for a 5.7×28 with a 6MOA CQB red dot. The gentleman with a PS90 had a hard time hitting the targets because … Continue reading →

More fun than practical.

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Oleg Volk

That’s about high heels. The carbine itself is fairly practical, especially with a red dot installed. Fire can be commenced once eye and ear protection are added.
