    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...

  • Swiss Sturmgewehr 57, 7.5x55: The How And The Why With Dale

In this video, Dale explains the whys and wherefores of the Stgw 57 design, which fully explain h...

  • Mad Minutes: Springfield 1903A3 .30-06

    Bloke takes his 1903A3 Springfield for a spin in .30-06 on the mad minute course. Bit disappointing this one - it'll get another go-around when he's had time to polish the bolt and bearing surfaces in the action cos it's parkerised to death.

    Following on from the Chap's earlier vid on getting a Swiss Milbank Amsler barking again, this time he delves in true BotR nerd style into the surprisingly fast conception, modification and adoption of the Milbank-Amsler trapdoor / tabatière system by the Swiss at the close of the 1860s. Both the...

  • .32 S&W Long Wadcutter In... Other Things (That Aren't Swiss Revolvers)

    Having previously done to death the use of .32 S&W Long wadcutter in Swiss M82 and M82/29 revolvers, we had another few revolvers handy with which to try it out: an Austro-Hungarian Gasser M98 in 8mm, a French St. Etienne Mle. 92, and a Trocaola (Eibar) "Spanish Model 92", the latter two in 8mm/9...

    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.

  • Pre-WW1 French Cavalry Revolver Exercises

    The Chap dug out an old French cavalry manual from the pre-WW1 era, so we thought we'd go through their revolver exercises with his St.Etienne Mle. 92 and my Trocaola (Eibar) "Spanish Mle. 92", both in 8mm/92 calibre (NOT LEBEL). How did we get on?

    See the GoFundMe lathe in action while I show you a neat little trick to modify case rim dimensions to make 10.3x60R cases extract and eject with 100% reliability (you'll see why it's important).
