  • BotR Does The @Riflechair Cabin Fever Challenge 2023: Division 5 (Muzzleloading)

    Organised by @Riflechair in Canada, Bloke and Chap attempt the Cabin Fever Challenge 2023 in Division 5 (Muzzleloading) at 50m on an 8" target. How did they get on with Chap's French 1859 Chasseur carbine, loading from as-original-as-possible paper cartridges?

  • 7.62mm Lee-Enfield No.4 (L8 / Sterling Conversion) Low Shooting: An Experiment

    It's well-documented that the light-barrel L8 and Sterling 7.62mm (.308 Win) Lee-Enfield No.4 conversions shot low compared to .303" to the point they couldn't be zeored with the normal front sight set, and a lowered datum line rear sight was the solution. This is due to the difference in "jump" ...

  • Schmeisser SP-15 Straight-Pull AR-15 .223 Rem With CMMG .22lr Ciener-type Kit

    So what we're looking at here is, if we put a CMMG .22 Ciener-type conversion set in a straight-pull Schmeisser SP-15 (with no gas, so not semi-auto), what is the difference in point of impact, of grouping capacity, and when we put it back to .223, will we have problems with extraction due to all...

  • French 1858 Navy (Pinfire) Revolver

    While most countries are still messing about with single shot percussion pistols or tentatively trying out newfangled percussion revolvers, the French navy blows caution to the wind by adopting a metallic cartridge revolver patented by Eugène Lefaucheux in 1854 using the pinfire ammunition patent...

  • Two-Point Slings Three Ways for Support, including Hasty and Crossover

    In which Bloke demonstrates, with the help of an L39A1 Lee-Enfield 7.62 / .308, three different ways to use a two-point sling for support: Hasty with the butt and action swivels, and also Crossover, which you may not have heard of, and which requires an action swivel or other middle attachment po...

  • So Many AR-18 Derivatives: How Come? What About Armalite's Patents?

    From the late 70's onwards, a number of AR-18 derivative rifles start to appear on the world markets. Given that Armalite's patenting game around the AR-10 and AR-15 systems was so on-point, how come they didn't have a patent preventing such things as the Steyr AUG, Enfield SA80 (L85), Sterling S...

  • Varusteleka Remote Military March 2023

    Chappie heads out solo for this year's VRMM. Join him as he marches in the alpine foothills with a running commentary about anything that comes into his head.

  • AIA Frankenrifle With 7.62x39 SAKO Ammo And Holosun 503 Red Dot At 300m

    In preparation for this year's Lynx Brutality, organised by @PolenarTactical in Slovenia, Bloke put a Holosun 503 on his famous Australian International Arms M10A1 "Frankenrifle" in 7.62x39 (a modernized Lee-Enfield based rifle) and took it out to 300m with some unconscionably expensive SAKO am...

  • Taktitok MkII

    Everyone has that one gun that they love and that has nothing to do with the rest of your collection. It may be ugly, or inaccurate or tacky or just plain weird but you love it no matter what anyone says. For the Chap that gun is the humble TT33 or in this case a slightly more modern Zastava M57A...

  • Glad I Checked! Frankenrifle's Holosun Loses Zero Before Lynx Brutality 2023

    In this earlier video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyWL-BtBl6g I shot Frankenrifle (an Australian International Arms Lee-Enfield No.4 type rifle in 7.62x39 with AK magazines), someone suggested I shoot it off my elbows. So a week before Lynx Brutality 2023 I did.

    And I'm very glad I did, c...

  • Swiss Martini "Sniper" Jagdstutzer At 300m (Not A Martini-Henry)

    Sorry for the clickbaity title. Here we have a gunsmith-made Swiss Jagdstutzer Martini rifle in 7.5x55 Swiss GP11. Kinda as close as you'll get to a real Martini-Henry sniper rifle, which is inexplicably contained in the game Battlefield 1 BF1 for no apparent reason...

  • Barricade Boltery 2: Fisting The Barricade?

    In an earlier video I explained some of the intricacies of using a bolt-action against a barricade. A number of comments suggested grabbing the sling and pushing my fist against the barricade. So I thought I'd try it out!

  • Bloke Does The 300m Feldschiessen 2023 With A Swiss Kar. 31

    Bloke went to Aarberg on Saturday 3 June 2023 to shoot the 300m Feldschiessen with his K31 in GP11 7.5x55 with W+F target sights and some Wyss bolt-ons (butt pad and cocking handle). How did he get on?

    Bloke went to Witzwil, behind the prison, to shoot the 2023 25m Pistol Feldschiessen with his SIG P210 / P49 in 9x19mm. How did he get on?

    The day before he shot 300m in Aarberg with his K31

    As foretold in an earlier video...

    ... Bloke made the local 300m Feldschiessen final in Aarberg! How did he get on?

  • Fightlite SCR First Impressions At 300m

    Formerly the ARES SCR and now the Fightlite SCR, this rifle is an AR-15 system modified to work with a FAL or Remington 1100 type mainspring housed in the butt. Without the muzzle thread it's 50-state legal in the US, and looks like... well any semiauto hunting rifle in this configuration. It'll ...

    Les of Polaris Worldwide Logistics is concerned about Chappie's French gat choices at Brutality, and is hoping that someone can intervene before Finnish Brutality 2023...

  • The French Intervention: The Chap Has Become A Problem... #Finnishbrutality2023

    The Chap, being a Frenchman by birth, has been insisting on bringing French gats to Finnish and Lynx Brutalities. These have been giving him all manner of issues over the past few years. The Cabal took notice and was displeased with the situation, so an intervention was staged.

    Yes, we ripped ...

    For the third time on the channel and the fourth time ever, Bloke takes on the Murtenschiessen! Celebrating the 1476 rampaging victory of the Swiss Confederates against the Burgundians under Charles the Bold, we shoot 12 rounds in 4 minutes max, downhill, with no sighters, against a target that's...

  • Schmeisser SP-15 Straight-Pull AR-15 With Primary Arms SLX-1x Scope At 300m

    As part of a previous video, I zeroed my Schmeisser SP-15 Straight-Pull AR.15 with GGG 55gn .223 Rem / 5.56 at 50m according to what the manufacturer says about the reticle of the Primary Arms SLX-1x single-power scope. How does it hold up at 300m? Does the BDC reticle do what it's supposed to?

  • Musket Speed Challenge

    The gentlemen of the Kentucky Victorian Riflemen instigated a 5 round speed loading challenge this year and invited Chappy to participate. He of course stepped up with a French rifled musket in a manly calibre!
