Anderson AR15 checks out

Posted on August 13, 2012 by Oleg Volk

New favorite rifle?

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This has long been my favorite recreational rifle. With AAC Aviator suppressor on the long barrel, it’s very quiet. 4x Leupold scope allows pretty good aim from up close to about 100 yards. But it has one giant disadvantage for … Continue reading →

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I got this for my friend as a set from MI. He brought it for me to see on the way back from the range, so the rifle is rather dusty.

Going through the mail bag…red dot magnifier

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Oleg Volk

One thing I love about travel is that I usually come back to a whole bunch of new toys in the mail. Put these together and you get a swing-out magnifier for red dot sights. Could be useful around the … Continue reading →

GSG522 gets scoped

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

When I took the 522 carbine to the range first, I had a (broken) red dot sight with it — predictably, the results didn’t look useful until I removed it and used iron sights. The gun comes with several front … Continue reading →

Color-matched weapons

Posted on December 22, 2011 by Oleg Volk

It seems to me that companies making pink guns for adults are missing the larger point. Sure, some women who buy guns are also into pink accessories. But many more are after color-matched weapons and that could mean black, tan, … Continue reading →

Another 9mm option: Just Right Carbine

Posted on November 26, 2011 by Oleg Volk

JRC was ostensibly designed as a traines for AR15 users. The manual of arms is much too different for that, but it seems quite useable as low-recoil home defense guns and for those who like “cowboy logistics”, the commonality of … Continue reading →

PLR16 is a .223 pistol designed for short and medium range hunting and self-defense. For reactive shooting, it’s typically stabilized by pushing out against the sling. For longer range, use a bipod or some improvised support. 9.2″ barrel provides muzzle … Continue reading →

Ambidextrous rifle from Rainier Arms

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Nice rifle, pity it isn’t mine. The Samson forend is quite small in circumference and very light thanks to careful skeletonizing. Magpul UBR stock, grip, sights and rail sling attachment. AXTS receiver has all controls duplicated left and right. Rainier … Continue reading →

Another way to set up Keltec RFB

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Oleg Volk

1-4x illuminated scope gives the option of shooting with both eyes open at 1x and more deliberate, precise fire at 2-2.5x. I prefer to use 4x only when firing from supported positions. Given the scarce rail space left on the … Continue reading →

A very girly gun.

Posted on June 18, 2011 by Oleg Volk

It’s not pink. It’s black and so go with every outfit. Collapsible stock, low-recoil 5.45 caliber, sensuous long-stroke gas piston operation. All it’s missing is the sling. Romanian AK74 clone with Primary Arms red dot on a Midwest Industries rail.
