• Brace Options for the HK SP5K December 8, 2018
  In the last post, I told you I bought an HK SP5K.  It’s relatively heavy and begging for a brace.  I don’t really feel the need to spend the money and wait to register it to be a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) and there are actually a ton of arm brace options out there.  Option 1:  ...
• So, I have an HK SP5K … December 8, 2018
  Folks, I have thoroughly enjoyed my POF-5, which is an MP5 pistol clone, this past summer.  We easily put way past 500 rounds through it with zero failures to feed or eject.  All my family members and friends wanted to shoot it and we had a ton of fun.  However, in the back of my ...

• There is a surprising ton of vz.58 stuff for sale on eBay if you look for it November 29, 2018
  The Czech vz.58 is an interesting 7.62×39 rifle.  While at a fast glance it may look like an AK, it is actually a different design and doesn’t share any parts with the AK-47. Outside of the military, it has a sizable following with civilian shooters.  While folks may be aware of parts from sources like Apex ...

• Promotional Video From the Kalashnikov Concern Showcasing Military Modernization November 24, 2018
  This 3:40 promotional video from Kalashnikov Concern was released in 2017 but I am unclear as to exactly when it was made.  You’ll note that they spend a lot of time showing their assault boats and they were unveiled in 2015. You’ll see small arms, AGVs, optics and assault boats.  Pretty cool!  You can definitely see ...

• Comparing the Hatsan AT-P2 QE Pistol to the Gladius Long November 23, 2018
  Before I bought my Hatsan AT-P2 QE Pistol, I did a bunch of research. I wanted a very compact yet powerful and accurate pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) carbine or bullpup that was a repeater for quick and accurate follow up shots for pest control of tree and ground squirrels. I needed something smaller than my Gladius Long, ...

• Watch This Amazing Video of Larry Vickers Shooting the AK-107 With No Recoil November 15, 2018
  Okay, once in a while I watch a video and my jaw drops.  Larry Vickers visited Russia and got to shoot a new AK-107.  Unfortunately, it’s unlikely we will ever get to see this amazing piece of engineering on this side of the pond thanks to politicians.

• The Thinking Behind the Nazi Sturmgewehr (StG) 44 vs. Soviet AK-47 Video From Forgotten Weapons November 14, 2018
  I’m more knowledgeable about the Soviet AK-47 than I am the German Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44).  The main reason I even known about the StG 44 is from reading about it in books that cited it as being an inspiration to Mikhail Kalashnikov and his design team.  But was it really – I’ve heard some ...
• Video of Larry Vickers Touring the Kalashnikov Concern Factory in Izhvesk November 13, 2018
  In April 2018, Larry Vickers visited the Kalashnikov Concern factory in Izhvesk, Russia.  Given that armory was established on the orders of Russian emperor Alexander I in June 1807 plus most Westerners having mental images of antiquated machines and dimly lit dirty facilities, one might make some very, very wrong assumptions about the modern JSC ...
