    New Kalashnikov pump-action rifle for practical shooting

    This far it's a limited production gun that it is available only to Russian National Rifle team. However, if KSZ-223 will see a warm welcome at IPSC World Rifle Championship this year, it can be made as a regular production item. Might be of interest to those who shoot "manual rifle" or to those...

    Interesting (Beretta Carbine)

    During WW2, most subguns were considered to be effective (against a man-sized target) in single shots up to 200 meters. All you need is an adjustable rear sight or proper amount of calculated holdover with fixed sight.

    Hunting rifles, Russian style

    .410 cal Saigas are most often bough for plinking; they are too unreliable for a SD/HD use Most common short shotguns here are Saiga-12K and Vepr-12 the only less-lethal shotgun-derived "obrez" (saw-off gun) was known as MP-341 "Howdah". These were made from rejected IZh-43 SxS shotguns, cut...

    Hunting rifles, Russian style

    those "SBS" are actually less-lethal weapons, built from sawed-off SxS shotguns and chambered for shortened 12Ga ammo loaded with rubber ball bullets. Bores are heavily choked to prohibit use of "hard" projectiles. heavy, unhandy and quite unpopular, as opposed to much more compact "less-lethal"...

    Hunting rifles, Russian style

    Dr.Rob, "Medved" is a rare beast ;) based on the SVD and produced in Izhevsk in very limited numbers between 1969 and 1975. Cartridge is an old 7.62x54R case necked out for 9 mm bullet - a short-range big game round of Soviet era, now almost forgotten, but still manufactured by LVE plant...

    Change in Russian Gun Laws

    I'm not a legalese man by any means, but do you mean that driving a car is a "government-granted privilege" because you need a license to that?

    Hunting rifles, Russian style

    Well, everybody knows(tm) that in Russia, you walk the streets in the snow, and have to shoulder off bears once in a while to get into the bar to drink vodka ;) But jokes aside (almost), below are some examples of the rifles that are actually sold to Russian hunters and registered as...

    Change in Russian Gun Laws

    This is almost true probably the one exception where we are a little better off than you 'mericans is lack of statement that "once a machine gun, always a machine gun" Therefore, we can buy original DP-27 machine guns, AKM rifles and PPSh subguns converted to semi-auto only and registered as...

    Change in Russian Gun Laws

    Most unfortunately, headlines are utter BS, generated by journalists who don't know a thing basically, we Russians can carry only LESS-LETHAL weapons for self-defense - various tear- and pepper-gas cans without any license, and certain rubber-bullet handguns (so called "traumatic" guns) with...

    Did Target Sports USA buy AmmoToGo's customer list from Russian hackers?

    I love how anything suspicious and foreign is always attributed to Russian hackers. Like USA is short of their own computer bandits, and there's no other country with access to Internet.

    Interdynamics MKR

    wow, that's a real case of a Zombie tread resurrection ;) as for MKR, why not to ask Kel-tec to resurrect and redesign MKR in .17 HMR of cause, commercial .17HMR ammo is noticeably less powerful than 4.6 Interdynamic, but at least it is widely available from commercial sources; and as it is...

    KPV, Anyone?

    A word of caution on firing 14.5 from the shoulder, especially in the prone position - the thing has some f*** serious recoil, and without a muzzle brake you're in for a very nasty surprise and few broken bones and if you need any help with Russian - you can email me.

    A technical question about the history of the AK-47 in relation to the SKS...

    Wrong again Once design of the 7.62x41 M43 cartridge was finalized late in 1943, official requirements were issued for a FAMILY of small arms, including - bolt action carbine for rear echelon troops (soon abandoned) - semi-automatic carbine (primary infantry rifle) - select-fire avtomat...

    A technical question about the history of the AK-47 in relation to the SKS...

    beware, you're on the slippery grounds now! because there's no single agreed universal definition of "assault rifle" term, at least I know of none. and before you start discussing "intermediate cartridge" and "controllable select-fire firepower", please be informed that at least two...

    A technical question about the history of the AK-47 in relation to the SKS...

    Kalashnikov didn't had his own design bureau untill well into production of AK. At first, he worked with skeleton team of very few men at small arms proving ground in Shurovo; later he finalized his AK-47 design at Kovrov machine building plant. Once Ak was approved for production, Kalashnikov...
