And another entirely random person…
Tactical beard, strategic smile.
5.56mm Bushmaster, Aimpoint, Gemtech Trek suppressor. I am starting to see a pattern with the sight and can choice…

Neither predator nor prey.

The problem with many anti-gun people is their inability to envision themselves as something other than those two roles. In countries where positive illustrations are unavailable due to restrictive laws, it’s hard to show by example. In the US, it is quite possible and should be leveraged to educate them.

Extremely odd camera/card failure. Need advice.
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
Took about 30 photos with Canon 5D2 tonight, put the 16GB Sandisk Ultra card in the reader and it didn’t auto-mount. Removed it, it mounted as empty volume. Put it in the camera, it came up empty. Put it back in the PC, it mounted with standard camera directory structure (DCIM and MISC) but no image files. Ran Recuva to look at erased images, found plenty of old photos and videos but nothing at all from earlier today. The same camera was successfully used earlier in the day (with another card). I’ve not had problems with this card before. I am very puzzled by the absence of any trace of the afternoon photo shoot.
Any suggestions on recovering the image files? More importantly, any ideas on what caused this and how to avoid it in the future?
Update: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download recovered the missing photos!

Movie review: The Hundred-Foot Journey
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2980648
Acting: 9
Light and SFX: 7 (pretty but overdone)
Plot: 9 (not very predictable and full of cute details)
Camera work: 9
Overall: 9+
Great date movie, and just interesting in general. Immigrants, in particular, would find certain moments of imperfect assimilation cringe-worthy.

Tavor for the long range.
Krav Maga for the short.
I suppose the Glock would be for the medium, or when long guns would be inexpedient in confined spaces. Neat Kydex by Raven Concealment.

Random bullpuppery

Flashhider with QD mount for a Yankee Hill can, Forend housing a Surefire light, and a custom 300Blackout barrel made by Paul Reaavis of Gearhead Works. Looks useful to me.
Steyr AUG in 9mm, with an Aimpoint on Gearhead Works’ rail which raises it to eye level vs. the lower factory rail. It also allows adding short side rail segments for accessories like lasers. Although it doesn’t look as small, the 9mm AUG is only a couple of inches longer than an Uzi submachine gun while sporting six inches greater barrel length. The AUG is only a hundred grams heavier. Both guns typically use 25 or 32 round magazines, though of incompatible designs.

Tavor musings
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
I have a left-hand bolt for my Tavor but had no idea how to install it. At this weekend’s Bullpup Convention at Rockcastle Shooting Center, Casey Flack from IWI had an armorer’s class on doing the conversion. It takes basic tools, mostly correctly sized punches, and the ability to follow instructions closely for about twenty minutes. Not the kind of changeover that can be done between shooters at a range, but not rocket surgery, either.
Since Tavor is “unrestricted” in Canada, it’s quite popular there. SInce they have no restrictions on short barrels, I suspect the X95 (13″ barrel) will eventually show up there as well. I saw a sample at the convention, it’s a nice, trim design with magazine release accessible to the strong hand without moving from the pistol grip.
I also discovered that the tritium front sight works well with both eyes open. In low light, that’s a huge advantage — the sight picture is nice and bright even with the relatively small rear aperture.
Geissele trigger got installed — that took all of a minute. The trigger pull got improved greatly but, strangely, racking the bolt got harder. There’s now a slight snag in the middle of the stroke. I will post comparative photos later.
