Custom options for your Sub2000

Oleg Volk, has another informative post on CTD about customising your Sub2000 pistol carbine
Customized Sub2000

Customized Sub2000 with soon to be released Viridian X5L RS light/laser.

The first three parts come from Tacticool Products: a recoil buffer, a stock tube cover to insulate the shooter’s cheek from the metal, and a charging handle cover to reduce the pressure on the fingers when chambering a round. These add little weight and cost almost nothing, while greatly increasing the use comfort.

The other parts come from Red Lion Precision. This small group of firearm enthusiasts make high quality accessories that transform Sub2000 from a neat utility carbine into a robust fighting tool. The metal front sight replacing the original plastic part has U-shaped protective ears instead of the ring hood, much improving the sight picture. The vertical post sight is adjustable for elevation with the standard M16 tool. The compensator protects the muzzle crown while reducing already slight muzzle climb to nothing. Sharp teeth on the front of the compensator give more substance to muzzle strikes in CQB. The small rail under the front sights is for mounting lights in a position where their output isn’t partially occluded by the barrel. Most importantly, the ventilated railed forend is rock-solid and can be rotated in 90-degree increments without losing the zero on attached sights. That allows folding of the gun with optics and other top rail accessories still attached. Two Magpul parts go on that rail, the RSA sling eyelet to hold the sling and the AFG for comfortable support and recoil control. The rest can be read  here

All Hail Oleg Volk

A little over a thousand years ago a Varangain prince decided became something of the Russian Version of King Arthur. He is credited with moving the capital of Rus from Novgorod the Great to Kiev and, in doing so, he laid the foundation of the powerful state of Kievan Rus. He also launched at least one attack on Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. Famously he had his shield hammered to the gates of Constantinople.

This unified and greatly expanded the country that would later become Russia.

He is known and celebrated as Oleg The Great and Oleg of Novgorod. His name has often been imparted to Russian military equipment, his blessing asked for in battle, and was even given to a light cruiser of the Tsar’s navy that was one of the few Russian naval ships decorated with glory in World War One.

To me his name is ably carried onward into the present by Mr Oleg Volk.

I have followed Mr Volk and his work for several years

His work is well known in the second amendment crowd and should be held up to everyone. If you have ever been to A Human Right then you have seen his wonderful educational posters

Oleg is an amazing photographer and has had his own site for quite some time.

He recently moved his blog over to a WordPress type.

Give it a look over, you will not be disappointed

Keep up the Good Work Mr Volk.

Incendentally, one of Oleg of Novgorod ‘s other names was Oleg the Prophet.

Again….I think Mr Volk is well named. With his work for the second amendent and groups like the Hellar Foundation, I am glad we have him on our side.
