Just started with a new project gun that is chambered in 7x57 Mauser. That caliber was the predecessor of the 8mm Mauser that was later the standard issue caliber for the German Army with their K98's and the Mg42 etc. Its basically a 8mm Mauser that is necked down to 7mm (.280 cal). Its about the same speed as the 8mm Mauser but the projectile is a little lighter. It has good sectional density though, very looooong bullets. The round is known for crazy penetration, that is why it was very successfully used against Elephant. Way too small for them if they attack you but if you snipe them in the head with it it would pass through the entire skull of the animal, and kill the brain in the process. I just loaded a couple of test rounds, these are 173 grain soft points. The bullets are so long that despite them sticking out that much their base sits where the neck of the cartridge starts.

Meltdown vid of the AK-74M(5.45x39mm), the standard arm of the Russian military.
And another such vid of the AK-103(7.62x39mm), a more modernized AK-47.

I like my AK-47, but I have never liked the reddish lacquer finish on the wood stock and handguard, so I stripped it with sand paper, stained and oiled it. Looks much better now, its ember-colored and fits much better with an AK.

While I wouldn't mind (legally) owning a full auto weapon, i likely would seldom fire it in that mode for $$$$ reasons. ^
Here some impressive .22LR trickshots from the one and only 22plinkster.
"TRAPPING A 22LR BULLET IN A 223 CASING"
"SHOOTING A BULLET THROUGH A 22LR BARREL"
I likely would need to fire several hundred rounds in order to finally pull either of these off, heh.

Kalashnikov's women's practical shooting team, who are also members of Russia's national team. One of them even has a pump-action AK, which i didn't know was actually a thing!

Took a couple pics of my wild west loadout. Winchester .44-40WCF long rifle (14 rounds tube), .44 Colt 1860 Army, .36 Colt 1851 Navy. Also it feels really damn cool to have a colt in each hand.

Speaking of wild west, I've considered getting a Single action army with interchangeable .22LR and .22WMR cylinders(each with 10 round capacity). It's fairly cheap too at $225USD.

I'd mainly shoot .22LR out of it if i were to get one, and I already got a .44 mag for shooting .44 special.

I built a display stand for my dummy cartridges from a board which I cut and finished with a couple of layers of brown lacquer. Now name the cartridges! First and last ones should be easy!

Installed a side mount on my AK. Mine did not have a side adapter for a side rail so I bought one, drilled it, glued it and screwed it onto the receiver. Had to remove the trigger and hammer assembly. Funnily, the scope rail was a little too long so I had to shorten it with an angle grinder, I took 4 notches off. I think it also looks better now. Turned out to be a fun project, only took me an hour to install it. You only have to be careful when drilling firearms, you got one chance to make it right, but a million to screw up. Installed my Holosun red dot (aimpoint-clone) with a super low 30mm ring. Love this setup, an optic makes the rifle significantly more capable.

I built a display stand for my dummy cartridges from a board which I cut and finished with a couple of layers of brown lacquer. Now name the cartridges! First and last ones should be easy! .50 far left and .22LR far right? Starting from 7th from right, .38 spc, .357, .44 special and .44 mag? The two to the right of those looks like .357 sig and .22WMR, followed by .45 auto and 9mm Luger? When it comes to installing optics on rifles, i actually took the optic i had on my glock and installed it on my Ruger 10/22 and as it turns out, i prefer using irons on pistols and optics on rifles.

Not bad! .44 Special is not correct, if you look carefully you see a little shoulder, its not straight-walled. Its the .44-40 WCF, the cartridge my lever action shoots. .357 SIG is incorrect, its the 7.62x25, but good call anyway. The rest is a-ok! Now do the rest, or else! There bis a couple more I am sure you know. Also, I totally get you with irons on pistols. A while ago I was hellbent on installing a red dot on my Glock, but when I tried it out I realized it took me an eternity to even find the dot after every shot. - Of course I bet could become much quicker with practice, but boy, that was super awkward. I have a red dot on my AK and thats a totally different animal alltogether, with the 4 contact points you have with a rifle its very fast and awesome. But pistols with good irons is the way to go for me.

Edwin Sarkissian tries out body armor that's rated against .50 BMG, but as we all know, just because a bullet doesn't penetrate, that doesn't mean the wear won't suffer (fatal) injuries.
Wonder if it'll also stop the Russian. 50 caliber round? It's casing is longer than .50 BMG (108mm vs 99mm).
