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...

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 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?

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 ...

Bloke is using Frankenrifle, which is an Australian International Arms M10-A1 in 7.62x39 using AK magazines and a Glock Gen 5 with Holosun 509

Chap is using a MAS 49/56 in 7.5x54 French and a MAC 1950 pistol.

How did they get on being electrocuted, throwing kettlebells, fast roping, crawlin...

Chap is using a MAS 49/56 in 7.5x54 French and a MAC 1950 pistol.

How did they get on crossing the tightrope, pushing cars, breeching doors, setting up an ATGM and throwing thunderfla...

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 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...

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?

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!

Bloke takes a look at the OG SUIT sight: Sight Unit, Infantry, Trilux. Most commonly seen mounted on an 7.62mm L1A1 SLR, this sight was available to infantry in the British Army from the mid-70's onwards, and is very forward thinking. However, the mount is hot garbage, which is probably why you d...

There's a lot of hot air generated over the relative merits or demerits of cock on open vs cock on close with turnbolt bolt action rifles. But what's the reality?

Spoiler: it depends on what you're doing. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Welcome to Bloke on the Range Strip Club, where we're only interested in one thing: Will It Strip. Up today: Swedish Mauser chargers in a 7.62 NATO Sterling Lee-Enfield No.4 conversion, with a comparison to the correct NATO clips.

Bloke explores the answer to this staple of Internet gun arguments: is a semiauto less powerful than a bolt action of identical chambering and barrel length?

We're often asked about getting firearms out of the US and into Switzerland, or out of Switzerland and into the US. Les, of Polaris Worldwide Logistics http://www.polaris-logistics.com/ actually organised arranging a couple of rifles in the US that Bloke wanted, but couldn't get on this side of t...

Here we have a heroic guest contribution featuring a Snider three band rifle all the way from Alberta Canada which came out of an unrelated competition, however it was too good not to share with you as part of our single shot military black powder cartridge rifle series. Huzzah for Bob!

Chappy's tools and skills have come along a long way since his first attempt at reviving the chonky 18mm rimfire case and cartridge. Time to give it another shot. Will he succeed of will they blow up in his face?

For the accompanying nerdy machining vid, see our sister channel elsewhere.

In which Bloke and Jari of @varusteleka do a 300m to 150m rundown at the Hätilä range complex in Finland! Bushmaster M17S Bullpup chez Bloke, and a piston-driven AR15 with Jari.

We return to the single shot BP military cartridge rifle mad minute with the Swiss Peabody, representative of any of the Peabody series. This particular rifle is of course chambered for 10.4x38R and is fitted with a rimfire breech block but I have dropped in a spare breech block from a CF Spanish...

Retrofitting an optics mount for the FAMAS was no easy feat considering the wobbly top cover construction. The designers finally came up with a novel if somewhat bulky solution.
