Robert, who made this beautiful custom SIG 510 / Stgw 57 / 510 / PE57 / PE 57 7.5x55 GP11 Sturmgewhehr, explains the design choices that went into it. Both Chappie and Bloke shot it a while back, and it is amazingly smooth.

Gruenig and Elmiger can't be linked to due to YT reasons, but I'm sure...

Well, the question here is whether a Holosun 509T red dot sight mounted on a Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS will return to zero when removed and replaced... So, will it?

Jenny and Laura have been very active in promoting SRA shooting (the Finnish practical 2-gun / 3-gun reservist-based sports shooting discipline) to other ladies, and they were kind enough to take the time to talk to Bloke about it while he was at Hätilä 2022!

As requested in the teaser comments, the Chap shows his journey to bringing his previously mummy-wrapped arsenal new MAS44 up to shooting form with hopefully a few interesting anecdotes about the rifle along the way.

With thanks to Guy & Lesley Field of The Yeaveley Estate https://yeaveley-estate.co.uk/ BotR and The Wirksworth Gunroom bring you the definitive, and quite obvious, answer to this strangely contentious conundrum. Simply by shooting the same course of fire in three different manners, with .303 Lee...

Ian of @ForgottenWeapons joins Mike and Fab of BotR to discuss their clothing and equipment used in Plan B of Finnish Brutality 2021: The Winter War. Ian is dressed as a Finnish soldier with Mosin-Nagant and Tokarev, Mike as a British ski trooper with Lee-Enfield No.4 and FN BDA-9, and Fab as a...

Might seem to be a silly question given that they're the same basic rifle in two different calibres (.303 British for the P14 and .30-06 for the M1917), but what were the adaptations for this and what are the other nonobvious and perhaps invisible changes?

Deep dive into one of Chappie's many perversions, namely his obsession with French Ruby pistols. Despite their somewhat undeserved tarnished reputation, they do offer a very interesting and economical collecting subject with a huge number of manufacturers to look out for and as we discover, they ...

While looking for a muzzle brake / compensator for my 9mm CMMG radial / rotary delayed blowback PCC AR15 upper (paired with a WWSD 2020 lower from KE Arms), I decided to go hard or go home and get the Nordic walking pole tip looking Walker Defense Research WDR NERO-9 compensator.

This is 3D pr...

Bloke takes a look at why Enfield nicked the Armalite AR-18 design and bullpupped it to make the L85 series of rifles, rather than "just" scaling down the .280 / 7mm EM-2 rifle from the late-40's/early-50's.

Turns out it's not as trivial as all that...

Further research has enabled us to guestimate the composition of the cartridges for the 1837 chasseur carbine. We have both the extensively trialed (but never adopted) Brunéel cartridge and the cartridge for the 1840 chasseur carbine, a carbine using the same Delvigne breech, calibre and rifling ...

All the features we know and appreciate on target pistols have in fact been present on firearms for centuries in various different forms as firearms technology developped. We haven't invented anything, only adapted stuff. Chappy gives an overview of the nifty mechanisms used to improve the speed ...

Manurhin continued to try any offer new revolvers after the MR73 with various interpretations of Ruger pattern revolvers stemming from the tech transfer agreements between the two companies. In 1993 though they decided to bravely challenge the traditional revolver configuration and try something ...

Ian McCollum talks Bloke through the WWSD2020 (What Would Stoner Do 2020) AR15 type rifle at Loppi shooting centre in Finland, and he gets to try it out!

Thrown into a squad of proper operators in an unexpected category, how did Chap fair in his first full Brutality match?

Will I have another try? Damn right I will!

With thanks to Tinck Arms, Lynx Pro Tactical Training Center in Slovenia and @PolenarTactical we got to take a look at the new Perun X16 in .223 Rem. It's rather an interesting design, intended for suppressor use, and it shoots really, really flat - a contender to take the crown from the AR15?

In 1866 Switzerland takes the bold step to universally adopt a breachloading repeating rifle. Why the sudden transition? What was their first choice? All this is explaining in this very nerdy video which contains NO SHOOTING!

We also take a very very deep dive into the mechanics of the rifle d...

The experience of WW2 made it obvious to the French that a modular GPMG was a far more sensible concept than the role specific MGs and LMGs used until 1940 and that the advances in firearms manufacturing provided an ideal opportunity to fully embrace the concept. The fruit of the project came in ...

In part 2 we take a look at each of the main infantry rifle patterns, the variations in military ammo and take my trusty M1878 to the range.

Mike (Bloke) takes a look at a 300 series CMMG Resolute 16" 9mm Para rotary delayed blowback upper on his WWSD2020 KE Arms lower.

Aside from a little reliability issue on the ejection, which he's hopeful he will be able to solve, he thinks this system is absolutely great!

And obviously the ...

In which Mike gives a potted history of the gunpowder proof of spirits (of the drinking type), demonstrates how much it sucks, and tests some lovely blackberry schnapps given to him at Desert Brutality 2020!
