44Mag in long guns
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. Please leave any comments there.
Hickok45 just posted an informative video about muzzle differences from 3″ revolver to 8″ revolver to 20″ carbine. He got minimal difference between 3″ and 8″ but 33% to 50% increase from revolvers to the carbine! For the fans of random calculations, that’s about twice the energy. The carbine produced much less muzzle blast than the revolvers. Can’t wait to get my Henry out to the range with a chronograph.

Barrett M98B .338 Lapua Magnum

223Rem, 308Win, 338 Lapua Mag
338 Lapua Magnum is a punchy round — 250gr bullet nominally leaves the muzzle at 3000fps, 300gr at 2700fps. My friends’ actual chronograph results are 2900fps with 300gr. In any case, it flies fast, flat and completely scrambles blocks of ordnance gelatin. 0.3-0.4MOA is typical of the rifles in this caliber. Unlike 50BMG, the rifles remain easily man-portable.
I borrowed this particular rifle from G4P for use as a photo prop.
This one comes with a very nice 6-24×50 Viper scope.

One possible fighting rifle configuration
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. Please leave any comments there.
Friend’s Bulgarian AK with Aimpoint Hunter red dot on an Ultimak rail, Ace stock. The red dot looks big — as it should for the wide field of view — but it is very light and the rifle as shown has excellent balance.

The best 1927 Thompson movie scene
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. Please leave any comments there.
Miller’s Crossing has one of the best choreographed Thompson submachine gun scenes. I just have still photos of the 1927-A1 semi-auto carbine with a 100-round “pizza platter” drum.

Sturmgewehr
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. Please leave any comments there.
Had Brady Campaign and their ethically deficient ilk been around during WW2, they would have pushed for the disarmament of the guerrillas and other civilians…while turning a blind eye to massacres perpetrated by government troops and their pet paramilitaries.
STG44, the original “assault rifle”, was used for evil, indifferent and good ends alike — the rifle being no more endowed with morality than an entrenching tool or a coil of rope. Every firearm and other weapon is like that. Gun control — the effort to disarm almost everyone — necessarily assumes that our guns would be used mainly for evil. A psychologist would call that projection — a very reasonable view, considering that politicians use the guns of the state to threaten and coerce innocent people daily. Giving up our arms while they retain theirs…would not be prudent.
The rifle above is a GSG STG44 in .22LR — it looks and feels just like the original, but is cheaper to feed and doesn’t heat up uncomfortably at the forend like the 7.92x33mm version did. It will be available at the end of August.

SU16A light rifle
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. Please leave any comments there.
Light weight, long sight radius, clean piston action, folds up for transport — looks like a useful walk-about carbine. Keltec site still has the old photo showing a plastic front sight, but the rifle has been upgraded since.

If you are a WW2 reenactor in or near Nashville, please chime in. I need help with a project requiring American and German characters.

The Guns of August
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. Please leave any comments there.
The most famous gun of August was a 1910 Browning. The less famous gun of April — the girl in the photo — is an 1896 Mauser.
Though less well known than Gavrilo, I think she’s cuter…and easier on visiting dignitaries.

One advantage of IWB holsters: they do not require a very sturdy belt.

Almost like cheating.
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. Please leave any comments there.
Savage MKII-SR with Primary Arms 4-16x scope and Gemtech Alpine sound suppressor. Very much hearing safe. Finally zeroed it yesterday, with much running avoided by the use of the newly acquired spotting scope. 48x max magnification and clear optics meant being able to see .22 holes at a hundred yards.
From a steady position, shooting match ammo out of a very accurate rifle with parallax-adjustable optics, felt almost like cheating. Missing any target larger than a golfball would have required being pretty sloppy. Tirzah was definitely not sloppy in her aim.

Shotgun training needed in Chattanooga, TN
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. Please leave any comments there.
A friend just got volunteered to represent her company in a clay shooting tournament August 17. She’s shot rifle and handgun before but not shotgun.
Who could assist her with learning the basics of shotgun on moving targets — in time for the tournament?

Watching TSA, DEA, FDA and the rest of the alphabet soup agencies gear up their own little armies brings this picture to mind. Not the trained, well-fed and utterly self-serving bureaucrats who do evil for a paycheck, but the naive youngsters who become enforcers of oppressive state regulations in the mistaken belief that they are serving America. Hopefully, our culture is changing to where working for the likes of ATF or TSA becomes as disreputable a choice as being a Stasi agent is in today’s Germany.
