The tour of WW1 military emplacements remaining on Mont Vully in Switzerland continues! Ultimately there's one that was missed, but maybe some other time!

Awesomely organised by @PolenarTactical and supported by numerous sponsors noted in the video, here's Bloke and Chap's Day 1 of #lynxbrutality2022 in Slovenia.

Bloke was shooting a #garbagetier CIS SAR-80 type 2 in 5.56 / .223 and a Browning Hi-Power in 9x19mm / 9mm Para, and doing everythin...

Robert of Gruenig and Elmiger (can't link, YT rules, Google is your friend) takes us through a detail strip of a Swiss Army SIG 510 / Sturmgewehr 57 in 7.5x55 GP11, and then gets it competition ready with a Dobler Mantelrohr (barrel shroud), new match barrel, and match sights! Thanks, Robert! It ...

Bloke, Chap and Pascal take on the @varusteleka #remotemilitarymarch #remotemilitarymarch2021 in Switzerland, and use it as an excuse to talk about the context to the Battle of Murten (Schlacht bei Murten / Murtenschlacht / Bataille de Morat) 1476, an important battle in the Burgundian Wars, fo...

Dale takes us through the theory and use of Stgw. 57 rifle grenades. 1/3.

Bloke and Chap went to Finnish Brutality 2022. This is Day 2. Bloke's suck was increased massively by running Recon Division, which was the full 12kg of kit TST setup with the added bonus of a 3.3km run after every stage. He was glad for his sub-3kg #wwsd2020 rifle in .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO and 9mm...

Bloke gives an overview of Switzerland around the start of World War One, and gives a tour of some of the remaining fortifications on Mont Vully, including La Lamberta, an 8 MG11 machine gun position carved out of the living rock by hand. A bit of Swiss Military History in the context of neutrality!

Mike of BotR and Jari of Varusteleka try out an Ensio Arms KAR-21 multicalibre rifle, which can be converted from .223 Remington to .308 Winchester with just a simple tool! How does it perform on the range?

Like Ronseal quick-drying wood varnish: it does exactly what it says on the tin... In which we open up a bit about us :)

Hosted in Finland by @varusteleka Ian joins the lads of Bloke on the Range to discuss how the French could be simultaneously so backwards and yet so forwards-looking.

"So on 2 November 2019, a bunch of us organised the first ever Bloke on the Range Bolt Action Challenge competition, with a mix of British kinda rapid fire and a Swiss 300m course of fire. How did it go?

"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.

The Chap takes a look at Ian McCollum's first book on his favourite subject. There is of course much praise for Ian's efforts not only to bring more understanding of French firearms to the average collector but also to dispel some of the more negative stereotypes associated with them. There are n...

"Bloke takes his 2012-production .32 ACP and, after having made it vaguely run with an awful lot of work, puts it through its paces on the 25m range. As a comparison, an HK MP5K both with and without PDW shoulder stock appears too!

Apparently these things were called the Klobb in James Bond Gold...

In the left corner a purely functional defensive pistol and in the right corner a beautifuly crafted military/target pistol. When it comes to relatively fast defensive/combat shooting, does one actually have an advantage over the other?

Bloke does some competing at an underground shooting range in some atrocious weather. Includes some hot .380 Enfield revolver action, and some falling plates. Amongst other things. Guaranteed not to be the worst three and a half minutes of your day, or your money back.

You'll Never Believe What The Bloke Does With An M1 Garand!

Bloke on the Range blokesplains certain bits of received knowledge about the M1, and how they ain't necessarily so.

Also packed full of handy tips, like how not to get your thumb caught in the action.

Bloke tries to go out for a night of well-protected wenching, leaving his beautiful platinum-haired wife behind. Ends up staying in to talk about a very gentlemanly Belgian bulldog revolver in 7.5mm Swiss from before WW1, fit to grace the pocket of any well-heeled fool. [It's early days with the ...

Why Lee-Enfields are fast, and other rifles are not. Featuring a customised Australian International Arms M10A in 7.62x39.

Keep the fanboy hate down to a dull roar please...

Bloke's gorgeous platinum-haired wife, through being a bizarre and dozy git, inspires him to invite you into the rich history and wonderful world of S&W hammer block safeties through the ages.

Featuring a century-old .455 Hand Ejector Second Model, an M&P in .38 S&W, and a very early 586. Plus...
