My new rifle

Thought I would share a photo of my new rifle and my girl when we took it out to shoot.

Oleg Volk has a lot of photos of women w/ the VZ58 (I think Czechpoint might be one of his photography clients):

I used to view vz58 as a quaint design roughly analogous to AK47, but uglier. I?ve since become a fan: the rifle is shorter than an M1 carbine and no heavier, while shooting a more potent round with mild recoil. It?s yet another excellent ?girlfriend gun? for those who are considering a present for petite lovers or spouses.

A single lawful person with the will and the means to open fire would have stopped the UK pogroms in seconds. Mobs seldom loiter once repeating firearms are heard nearby?casualties among the rioters would have been instructive to their cohorts but probably not even necessary for ending the fiery mayhem.

As reality stands, the British Government insists that their subjects only go through the motions of self-defense without actual effect. That sounds like a very unhealthy fetish the UK Home Office enjoys at the expense of lives, health and property of others. In the US, rioters would probably fare better against police who just might use less lethal munitions than against regular citizens who would use conventional bullets. And a small loss would it be should the fans of arson, battery and assault come to grief at the hands of their intended victims.

While 7.62?39 version is cute, tiny and pretty punchy, the .223 is more of an all-around fighting rifle. Using the same barrel blank as the 7.62, the 5.56mm version is more accurate, heats up slower and has less recoil. In fact, with the loud but effective muzzle brake, recoil is closer to a semi-auto 22wmr than to other centerfire rifles. I haven?t scopes this one yet (that would require a stock with a riser), but even irons provide less than 3MOA vs. 5MOA of the 7.62 variant (again, with iron sights). In the near future, I will have to compare the efficiency of the AR15 magazines vs. using the original rock and lock mags without the adapter.

Yep, pretty sure she's a Red Star Arms girl.  Other folks have her pic too...
