In an earlier vid on the Früwirth carbine, many people remarked the offset firing pin. Here's the reason for it... Hint: it's in the original 11.5x36R ammo.

As a followup to an earlier video, Bloke wrestles his M1 to demonstrate how the primary extraction doesn't work. Cos that's not really what's going on with that little helical movement of the bolt as it opens - it's actually doing something else entirely :)

Also contains a small diversion into...

The Chap takes his camera around the rather well-appointed 300m rifle club in Reichenbach

Bloke takes a look at a Canadian C1A1 in 7.62x51 NATO made by Long Branch, including a cutaway model! Of course, this leads to a geeky primary extraction discussion...

Onwards and upwards with the seventh (!) episode in the Swiss Straight-Pulls series. This time, it's the Schmidt Rubin 1905 Cavalry Carbine's turn. Still with the old GP90 and GP90/03 7.5x53.5 ammunition (NOT 7.5x55 GP11), this was the replacement for the 1893 Mannlicher carbine. They seem to hav...

Bloke takes his .303" British Lee-Enfield SMLE and sees how many he can fire through it in a mad minute.

Bloke takes Frankenrifle, his customised Australian International Arms AIA M10A1 in 7.62x39 to the 300m range to zero it and see how it does with iron sights and Wolf steel-cased ammo.

No Lee Enfield SMLE or No.4 rifles were harmed in the making of this film.

Starting back in 2003, the Swiss shooting federation approved certain go-faster modifications for 7.5x55mm Stgw 57 rifles in 300m competition. Here's two particularly nice examples of rifles with various permitted ad-ons, including one with a freefloat tube!

The Bloke presents a K31/43 sniper rifle, the second of two designated marksman / sniper rifles the Swiss army adopted in WW2 in order to provide long-range capability to its infantry. Naturally, this rifle is in 7.5x55 GP11 calibre, is a straight pull, and has a funky periscope telescopic sight....

The Chap takes you through disassembling and reassembling his Finnish Lahti L35, which is mechanically NOT AT ALL A LUGER-DERIVATIVE! Also, he explains how it works.

loke takes his STEN Mk.II, which was blocked at semiauto with two blobs of weld on the selector (which means he can shoot it on any range rather than just at permitted events as would be the case if it were not permanently blocked), shooting it "precision" (lolz) offhand at 25m.

Well, that's that busted. No, the BREN light machine gun does not pull forward on firing. It has to obey Newton just like everything else.

Thanks to friend of the channel GR, The Bloke gets a chance to show off a couple of unusual 300m "Standard" rifles (Standardgewehre) as used in Swiss competition, one in 7.5x55 GP11, the other in 5.6mm GP90 (aka .223 Remington). Although Standardgewehr is similar to "Target Rifle" (or Palma Match...

Since the available .577/480" ammo didn't fit in the available Martini-Henry rifle when making the Great British Rates of Fire Disaster Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3YiJDgddWk

In the days before the heavy-barrelled 7.62mm target rifles, there was SR (b) - Service Rifle (b), which permitted deviations from the military stocking-up system, target sights and middle sling swivels. Calibre was still 303 British though. Various Long Lee-Enfield rifles, SMLE's, P14's and No.4...

Unoriginal vid idea, maybe some original-ish ideas in the video :)

Bloke and the kiddies go on a tour of the Fischbalmen bunker at Beatenbucht on the shores of the Thunsersee in Switzerland. A small montage ensues, which includes some nice Swiss automatic firearms - the massively over-engineered Furrer MP41 (who needs a toggle lock in 7.65mm or 9mm Para?) and Fu...

To add a little context to a quotation in Richard Law's Collector Grade book on the Mauser K98k Sniper Rifle. The Russian angle. Basically, and entirely contrary to popular belief, the Germans had systematic accuracy problems with their Kar98k sniper rifles. And were rather jealous of the Russian...

Since the Manky Mauser Kar98k had a somewhat extreme extractor that was giving him problems, Bloke took a file and a stone to it. Here's the whys and wherefores of what he did, and a discussion on controlled vs push feed.

There's a Lindybeige cameo in this vid too!

But that's unpossible! How can someone shoot straight with that great big ghost ring 0.2" / 5.1mm battle aperture on a Lee-Enfield No.4! Let alone at 300m! Inconceivable!

And we move ever onwards with the Schmidt-Rubin straight pull rifle series. This time, the Model 1900 Kurzgewehr, or "short rifle". This one is a complete unicorn, as the Bloke explains.

In which I make a screwup of the words of command due to tiredness, but I think nobody notices.......

Many thanks to Rob of Britishmuzzleloaders.

With thanks to Kevin & SBAM Shooting, a demo about felt recoil, with an L1A1 SLR (British FAL)! And an attempted demo about primary extraction that failed due to having nice shiny quality brass. We'll do it again with some grotty surplus or steel-cased much to show it properly on another occasion!
