New Project: Konstruktorskoe Buro Priborostroeniya PP-90 w/video
- Vintage Sniper Rifles
- 8 Replies
The Russian Konstruktorskoe Buro Priborostroeniya (KBP) Instrument Design Bureau created its own folding submachine gun, which shares a resemblance to the ARES FMG. Similarly designed for close-quarters combat, it was intended for use by Special Operations teams with the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation (MVD).
Unlike other folding guns, the PP-90 chambers the 9 x 18 mm Makarov cartridge. When collapsed, the pistol grip and magazine are folded under the barrel and covered by the stock; it folds into a rectangular box without protrusions, making its concealment all the more easier. Folding down to around 11 inches, it can be easily carried in a holster, bag or shoulder rig.
The barrel’s muzzle can be fitted with a suppressor, and, unlike other folding guns that omit sights for the sake of compactness, the PP-90 uses a flip-up iron sight capable of folding down into the receiver.
The PP-90 also uses a manual safety/fire selector switch. On the side of the receiver, a safety toggle provides two settings: "P" (safe) and "O" (automatic). By selecting the safety setting, the weapon mechanically disables the bolt catch. It's also designed to prevent accidental discharges, making it impossible for the gun to fire when in a folded position. On top of this, it's incapable of firing until the stock is fully extended.
So this will be more inspired by the PP90 than a copy. I will be using a KelTec Gen 3 Sub2000. I paid about $389 for a new KelTec Sub2000 Gen 3. KelTec doesn't receive much love, mainly because of their use of plastics to keep costs down. But their engineering and design are inspired and top notch. The sub2000 is fascinating. It is very compact and reliable. The first generations weren't able to accept an optic and fold. The KelTec engineers came up with an elegant solution. The forend rotates to allow the optic to move out of the way to fold.

So the major changes to this will be removing all the plastic from the working parts and replacing it with steel or aluminum. I will probably keep the barrel folding to the top but will make the grip, mag, and trigger assembly a folding unit. I will remove the buttstock and probably redesign the charging handle. I was going to SBR it on a form 1 but think I will just keep it with a 16" barrel, it will only be slightly larger than the PP-90. I will also implement some design changes from the ARES FMG and Magpul FMG-9

Scope for bushmaster AR15
- Observation & Sighting Devices
- 11 Replies
Asking for a friend. My brother wants to put a scope on this bushmaster. It is over 18 years old, fired very little, and quite accurate.
For reference, he has red dots, Nightforce 1-8 and others, leupold, etc. but wants some advice for this one.
Quote from him “don’t really want a 1-8. But want a scope to get the most potential out of that weapon. Obviously a big scope would be a waste, but wanna get a good match for the bushmaster primarily for hunting. Don’t need illumination. But wouldn’t mind it.”
He asked about a NF 2.5-10x24. Thoughts?
He said he won’t buy a vortex. No offense.
Any further questions or something I missed just ask and I’ll get an answer.
Thanks for any and all replies.

Win 243 M70 safety help

Hi, Im refurbishing a 1977 (i beleive) Winchester M70 243 which has always had a faulty safety, stuck in Fire.
Any assistance on removing the safety would be greatly appreciated.
If I lock the firing pin with vice grips I can cycle the safety, but once released from grips the safety jams back to Fire setting.
Gun fires no problem but I would like to fix the safety before I re blue the action and reassemble.

🕋 The Scarlet Wristband (Army Now Requiring Red Carnival Ride Wristband for Unvax’d ☪️

Red wristbands for unvaccinated troops now part of JRTC’s COVID mitigation
The wristbands will serve as a visual marker of who is or isn't vaccinated while training in "the box."
www.armytimes.com
Troops involved in the 54th Security Force Assistance Brigade’s current training rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana, have a new uniform item — a red or green wristband denoting their COVID-19 vaccination status.
Army officials described the wristbands as an effort to expedite in-field contact tracing of positive COVID-19 cases.
“During rotation 21-09 the Soldiers of 54th SFAB, supporting units and Observer Coach Trainers, as well as anyone supporting the rotation, will wear wristbands denoting COVID vaccination status,” said JRTC spokesperson Shelby Waryas in a statement emailed to Army Times. “This is to assist the OCTs to be more precise in measuring risk in contact tracing and therefore keep more people in the training scenario.”
Photos of troops wearing the wristbands — including Security Force Assistance Commandhead Maj. Gen. Scott Jackson — have started appearing on JRTC social media channels as well.

“These protective postures enable us to maintain training and Army readiness, all while making sure the training formation, Soldiers and Families of Fort Polk stay safe,” said Brig. Gen. David Doyle, commander of JRTC and Fort Polk, in a statement emailed to Army Times.
COVID-19 outbreaks at JRTC can stop training if they get too serious, Waryas said. That is why Doyle opted to require the wristbands. She described the order as “directly related to tactical safety.”
But a soldier assigned to JRTC, who spoke with Army Times on condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation, said the wristbands aren’t helping.
“The only thing that is happening with these armbands is that we’re being threatened with punitive actions if we lose our paper bands,” the soldier said. “We’ve lost many due to the fact that we are conducting platoon training from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.”
The same soldier expressed concern that leaders who aren’t vaccinated “are being scrutinized” by their superiors.
An 82nd Airborne Division brigade ignited controversy in February when an anonymous letter circulated on social media accused leadership of not taking the pandemic seriously during their JRTC rotation. And an Arkansas Army National Guard brigade experienced a significant outbreak that sickened at least 115 troops, according to Military.com, requiring at least nine quarantine barracks to house infected or exposed soldiers.
Waryas emphasized that the wristbands were “just another safety measure” the training center has taken since restarting training in June 2020. The visual markers are the latest component of a mitigating regime that includes regular testing, daily screenings and restricted travel between the training area and the installation’s North Fort commercial and residential area.

She also pointed to Defense Department policy that authorized leaders at even the lowest level to ask about a soldier’s vaccination status.
“Wristbands showing fully vaccinated status or less than vaccinated status fall within this authorization,” Waryas said, adding that HIPAA restrictions only applies to entities such as healthcare providers.
And in a humid, sweaty extended training environment such as JRTC, “carrying paper proof of vaccination is not feasible,” she noted.
The implementation of wristbands denoting COVID-19 vaccination status last week only narrowly came before Monday’s news that DoD will mandate the vaccine for U.S. troops.
The Food and Drug Administration formally approved the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on Monday, leading Pentagon officials to immediately announce that the shot would become mandatory for the entire force.
“We’re gonna move forward making that vaccine mandatory,” said Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby on Monday morning.
The move comes on the heels of the deadliest week of the COVID-19 pandemic for the military, with five reported deaths. The deceased included three troops under the age of 31, including a 27-year-old Marine.
