Bloke and Chap participate with their Schmidt-Rubin G11 and K11 in the 100th and last ever Neueneggschiessen. Includes a history of the Battle of Neuenegg.

First in a new series of at least one other video, The Chap talks about French WW2 ammo pouches and his project to make himself a reproduction pair!

So back in 2016, Bloke filmed the Murtenschiessen in early-BotR quality, with the history of the Battle of Murten 1476.

This year, both Bloke and Chap were invited to shoot by the Société de Tir de la Ville de Fribourg, one of the oldest shooting clubs in Switzerland, founded in 1493, so only a ...

Follow my fumbling steps into amateur leatherwork. I'm sure the leathersmiths amongst us with tut, roll eyes, scowl and gnash their teeth but then again, it worked!

The basic breakdown of construction of the pouches (in French) can be found at: https://enguerrandmodelisme.weebly.com/cartouch...

Matt of M426 lets BotR test his .32 ACP Welrod pistol [desperately trying not to use trigger words that will set off the YouTube bots...] Even with the rubber wipes shot through, it's really quite quiet - not silent, but comfortable without hearing protection. Also, it's certainly acceptably accu...

Due to a shortage of Lewis guns and a glut of withdrawn Ross Mk.III rifles once the Canadian Expeditionary Force had been completely re-equipped with Lee-Enfield SMLE rifles, Monsieur Huot proposed to modify Ross rifles into an automatic rifle / light machine gun (LMG) configuration.

So we deliberately overstressed a Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle, with .300 WinMag cartridges, both dry and oiled. What happened?

A weird and extremely badly-acted thing happened to Bloke on his return from Finnish Brutality 2019..... It involved an offering of makkarasnapsit schnapps sausage from a strange hooded Ambassador of Metal type fellow... How could Bloke refuse?

Kevin, formerly of SBAM Shooting, moved back to the UK a year ago, and immediately started the process of getting his firearm certificate (FAC) as a target shooter. Mike discusses with him how the process went. We may have screwed up the details of one-for-one variations slightly and there's a s...

Bloke and Chap take a road trip to Münchenstein, near Basel, to pick up the GoFundMe Myford ML7 lathe, built in 1964! Thanks to all the supporters who made this possible!

The question is though, did they break their backs in the process?

Bismark of the Military Aviation History channel https://www.youtube.com/user/Bis18marck70 was filming in Switzerland, and asked me if I could get him on the range and teach him to shoot. How could I refuse such a request from a Top Bloke like himself? And it gives me an opportunity to illustrate...

The Chap presents a very good, neat way to make paper tubes for your Dreyse or Chassepot needlefire rifle!

On 15 April 2019, Mike gave a presentation to the Historical Breechloading Smallarms Association in London: www.hbsa-uk.org

It concerned the parallels between the British and the Swiss in the
British 1880's trials, and some thereafter.

So, after his Tikka T3x Arctic / C19 Canadian Rangers Rifle was returned from warranty repair, Mike takes a look at it and gives it a good wringing out at 300m on the range with SalTech and GGG 308 Win ammunition.

Bloke takes his shiny new Tikka T3x Arctic out to 300m and tests it against his trusty 1943 Long Branch Lee Enfield No.4 off the bag, and offhand standing, kneeling and prone.

There's a little disappointment in places...

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 1 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! A kettlebell and an L1A1 SLR / FN FAL on a Kasarda Drill - what could be more epic?!?

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 2 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! A BMP armoured personnel carrier?!? On a stage? How awesome was that!

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 3 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! Climbing through cars, shooting standing unsupported, then a V-TAC wall to top it off. An awesome stage!

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 4 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! Starting in his comfort zone with a bit of fast and accurate middle-finger shooting, and ending with hefting bags of sand around and blazing away at steel poppers!

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 5 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! The ultimate stage prop - a BMP - made another appearance, from which some poppers were shot. Then a dummy drag, some rifle work, and some running back and forth with ammo cans...

The Swiss Sturmgewehr 57 (aka SIG 510) is an interesting and unique piece - far heavier and more awkward than its contemporaries, there are however very interesting reasons why it ended up like that. In this video, Dale explains the whys and wherefores of the Stgw 57 design, which fully explain h...

The Chap takes his birthday 1897 cadet rifle apart and discovers something rather unique in the stock.

Bloke and Chap take on the Karabinerschiessen 2019 over open sights to see if they can medal in a "proper" competition.

Course of fire is: 2 sighters, 3 individual shots, 1x3 shot string, 1x4 shot string. No time limit.
