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...

Mike was lucky enough to be able to shoot the semiauto SA80 / L85A1, so he zeroed it at 100m and shot it at 300m

Sometimes Enfield does things right. Normally when they're just polishing up an existing design. Like the L1A1 SLR, the British version of the FN FAL.

Mike takes a look at an original factory SA80 / L85A1!

The Chap takes a look at the Wyss and Furter sub calibre training systems for the Swiss Stgw 90 / SIG 550.

Bono estente! Down in Bella Italia, Bloke meets up with Kevin of SBAM shooting for a spot of shooting and banter on the range. BotR combining with SBAM is a bit like crossing the beams in Ghostbusters (the original one), and disaster would have to ensue. By definition. Ammo didn't turn up, and wh...

Bloke takes his mint 1963 dated Chinese Type 56 Carbine / SKS out to 300m to see how well it is zeroed, and how well it shoots. The first shot you see here is genuinely his first ever shot with this rifle at any distance.

It is surprisingly well zeroed with S&B 123gn FMJ out the box, and shoot...

Chappy presents a nice little French smallbore .22 rimfire carbine of very special significance, which not only has some clever features but also has an interesting pedigree.

Bloke takes his fresh factory refurb UB61 BSA-made 7.62mm (.308 Win) L1A1 SLR (British FN FAL variant) out at 300m, zeroes it and has a bit of a play prone offhand.

Bloke takes his shiny new M16A1 from 1980 +/- 3 years to the 300m range and sights it in. And is rather impressed by it. Chappie rather likes it too! Man of tastes, he is

A little teasing look at Chappie's Manhurin-built SIG SG 540 in .223 Rem on the 300m range.

Blokey likey. It's kinda the M16A1 of the SIG range :)

Also served as practice for working with a handheld Rode Wireless Go in an interview stick.

In which Mike looks if he can verify results from various US army M16A1 test reports, namely on page 17 of this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vjkGkmbg-uua9gqo46A0xcHxClJuz5SX/view?usp=sharing

There's also reference to the M16A2 from this report: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12qua8Eg...

Mike gets a chance to have a go on a factory semiauto FAMAS bullpup rifle owned by the gentleman behind the HACH Helvetic Arms Switzerland channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcxfZ9q0qCpq3CBlDNctrCw
He ran Remote Brutality with that rifle, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/wa...

A bit of a nerdgasm here on the first three generations of 30 round magazines for the British Army's fabled Enfield 5.56mm SA80 rifle series: Colt, RG (Radway Green), HK (Heckler & Koch, aka Hasst Kunden).

Organised by @Riflechair in Canada, Bloke and Chap attempt the Cabin Fever Challenge 2023 in Division 6 (.22 Rimfire) at 50m on a 4" target. How did they get on with Bloke's Victor Arms / CZ / ADCO / LUVO V-22 upper on an Oberland Arms AR-15 lower?

From the late 70's onwards, a number of AR-18 derivative rifles start to appear on the world markets. Given that Armalite's patenting game around the AR-10 and AR-15 systems was so on-point, how come they didn't have a patent preventing such things as the Steyr AUG, Enfield SA80 (L85), Sterling S...

Formerly the ARES SCR and now the Fightlite SCR, this rifle is an AR-15 system modified to work with a FAL or Remington 1100 type mainspring housed in the butt. Without the muzzle thread it's 50-state legal in the US, and looks like... well any semiauto hunting rifle in this configuration. It'll ...

Bloke takes a look at the OG SUIT sight: Sight Unit, Infantry, Trilux. Most commonly seen mounted on an 7.62mm L1A1 SLR, this sight was available to infantry in the British Army from the mid-70's onwards, and is very forward thinking. However, the mount is hot garbage, which is probably why you d...

Bloke explores the answer to this staple of Internet gun arguments: is a semiauto less powerful than a bolt action of identical chambering and barrel length?

Retrofitting an optics mount for the FAMAS was no easy feat considering the wobbly top cover construction. The designers finally came up with a novel if somewhat bulky solution.

In which Mike takes a post-war rebuild Winchester-made M1 Carbine and has a look at what it can or can't do at 300m.

.30 Carbine For The Win!

While at a dynamic practical rifle match with his Colt M16A1 (9 million series), Mike wound the adjustment drum too far on his Brownells Retro 4x AR15 / M16 carry handle scope, and lost elevation zero by about 4 MOA or so. Which was fun on the clock!

The question is: if you don't wind the adj...
