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...

Chap's Shooting at the Bloke on the Range Bolt Action Challenge. With a MAS 36 in 7.5x54 French.

Bloke's shooting at the Bloke on the Range Bolt Action Challenge. With a K31 in 7.5x55 GP11. Cos he screwed up and had loaned his .303" Lee-Enfield No.4 out to someone else while forgetting he had to take himself into account...

Bloke takes his Tikka T3x Arctic to the October 2019 Civilian Service Rifle League Match at Bisley, UK and shoots it instead of his habitual .303 Lee-Enfield No.4. How did he get on?

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.

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).

Calvin (aka Phúc Long of Firepower United) pops his proper British made .303 charger cherry. And we got the reaction!

A quick little video from when we tested some 7.5 Swiss Ordnance revolver ammo from trimmed Soviet 7.62x38R Nagant cases. Did it work?

A quick review of the main features of a lovely Martini Henry MkI rifle, featuring some 2nd and 3rd pattern upgrades. I'm sure the real afficionados will have more to say.

Bloke and Chap do a taste test on some rather nice... ermmm... let's just use the Swiss term "Hausbrand" to describe the product in question, emanating as it does from small, shall we say "artisanal" production...

And includes a discussion of the old gunpowder test for spirit proof, a future C...

So Calvin (aka Phúc Long of Firepower United) was doing a little tour of Europe, and asked me whether I could teach him how to run a bolt-action rifle quickly. Since he's such a Top Bloke I took him to Brünig Indoor, and taught him how to run a Lee-Enfield action quickly, using both my No.4 in .3...

Welcome to Bloke on the Range Strip Club, where we're only interested in one thing: Will It Strip. This episode: can a Russian or Chinese Mosin-Nagant charger be used to load a 7.5x55 Swiss rifle, namely a K31 or a K11, G11, M1911, G96/11 or whatever you want to call them today? Let's find out......

By a lot of popular request, here's a Mad Minute with a Finnish M24 Mosin-Nagant in 7.62x54R. How disasterous could it possibly be?

After some competition and mad-minuting, it's about time we take a look at the difference between the pre-war and post-war versions of the MAS 36 and see how the design was optimised for easy manufacturing without compromising on performance.

Continuing on from last time, Dale takes us through the various models of practice grenade and the three types of battle ammunition.
