AK with Primary Arms micro red dot on an Ultimak rail, US Palm magazine. It’s nice to work with people who understand their own products. Muffs are MSA Pro-X, same as what I use at home. Looking into switching to … Continue reading →

Anime-grade cuteness

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This demure young lady is all concentration once on the firing line. And, once done with her course of fire, all smiles. Above, 16″ Vepr in 7.62×39. And yes, she’s only 14.

CZ527, the beautiful little performer

Posted on July 15, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Nice wood, excellent single set trigger. Not my gun, unfortunately. I borrowed it from a friend’s father. The father shoots it with handloads and gets consistent 1MOA groups with it. He uses it without a bipod, I added that just … Continue reading →

Tricking out an AK

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Oleg Volk

My friend’s Bulgarian AK clone with Insight MRDS on Ultimak rail, Ace M4 SOCOM stock. It remains streamlined and AK-simple, but the speed of target acquisition and recoil control improved. The changes added very little weight.

Aperture sights for AK rifle

Posted on March 11, 2012 by Oleg Volk

While notch and post sights work reasonably well with young eyes and select-fire weapons, aperture sights are usually preferred for semi-auto rifles. In the AK world, that  includes Valemt, Galil and the new Russian AK12. Tech Sights and Texas Weapon … Continue reading →

Pistol in a garter is silly. That’s where spare magazines go.

Posted on March 10, 2012 by Oleg Volk

From Czechpoint photo shoot. In this instance, I’d worry more about the Gorgon stare and less about the minor firearm factors…

Pretty is as pretty does

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I used to view vz58 as a quaint design roughly analogous to AK47, but uglier. I’ve since become a fan: the rifle is shorter than an M1 carbine and no heavier, while shooting a more potent round with mild recoil. … Continue reading →

Shooting well at age 11.

Posted on September 24, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Went to the range with friends today. Tried their guns and let them try mine. Fond out, for example, that .223 soft points don’t feed well from GI magazines but work just fine from PMags. (Firing on clays set up … Continue reading →
