The Passion of the Volk

So, the Ultimate Awesome Photographer Oleg Volk has recently been shooting pics of some of my refinishing work. You gotta love this guy's passion, skill, & spirit:


Education at its FINEST.

Soon-to-be Supermodel Jessica


(Probably Eli's first rifle.)

A business would have to be all kinds of dumb to not hire Oleg and one of his fantastic models.


And Eli and I have been going over new skill sets:


(Eating like a Big Boy, crawling, standing, yakking...dueling is a ways off.)




(Funny thing is, he didn't actually crawl UNTIL daddy fired up the lightsaber- THEN we had to come see what the red blade tasted like, and scoot scoot CRAWL. The kid cracks me up.)

And Finally, here is why it might take weeks over the winter to refinish a SIMPLE 1911-
You have to be able to GET to the shop! Blizzards suck.



(Parkerized & primed with first round of DuraCoat; ready for fine sanding prior to gloss black)


Also, here is a Christmas Delivery for someone:





1-9 heavy barrel, Eotech 512 (AA Battery model,) MagLevel PMAG with ranger floorplates, M4 6-position stock, Rock River 2-stage match trigger, Midwest Industries co-witness rail mount, Phantom Flah hider, Yankee Hill Diamond-style freefloat forearm, and a midlength gas system for the whole package. Not exactly what Santa wants, but it beats waiting 6 months for an RRA TASC kit to be delivered, to be sure.

The lower is from SI DEFENSE- and they are hands down the NICEST lowers I have ever seen, finish wise. Fit is pretty damn good too.

If I don't post again until after the holidays, please forgive me- plenty going on and just catching up on emails & phone calls is a challenge.

so, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

Coolest. Thing. Evah.

I have waited SO long for something like this:

Thank you, Easter Bunny!
Now the (pending) vinyl decal section of the website won't have to rely on you-know-who.

Quick Survey - Link & Update

Richard Mann is doing research for an article on the suitability of the .22 LR for personal protection. The article will appear in an upcoming issue of the National Rifle Association’s Shooting Illustrated magazine. This survey is part of that research.

Four questions and takes just a minute to complete.

Please check it out.

As an aside, the website has recently been overhauled. More coming in the future, when I can pass webdesign responsibilities over to someone else. I FINALLY have a few of the sa-weet Oleg Volk photos of a couple of refinished items of mine up there. Just been short on time & long on grief since October 2- and more on that in another post later.
