Bloke and Chap take this well-worn French M16 Berthier Carbine in 8x50R Lebel for a spin. We could say it was fast and smooth, but we'd be totally lying.....

We belive this WW1 piece is in Battlefield 1....

Both The Chap and The Bloke try their hands at a rapid fire unlimited mad minute with a MAS 36 in 7.5x54mm French.

This one was rather fun. Also includes a discussion about charger clip automatic ejection at the end.

The Chap has a blat with his M1886 Mannlicher on the range, then takes you through it in the workshop.

Bloke takes a friend's .303 P14 rifle (aka Rifle, No.3 Mk.1 (W)) out to the range and blathers a lot about it before finally getting down to some hot shooting action. The P14 rifle was a modification of the Pattern 13 Trials Rifles from before WW1, which fired a ridiculous .276 / 7mm cartridge at...

The Chap takes a stroll around Vetterli Stutzer set triggers, and gives a brief history of the role of the Sharpshooters in the Swiss military of the era.

Mike and Rob continue their look at official British WW2 close quarter battle CQB techniques, this time from Weapons Training Memorandum 7 from 1944, downloadable here: https://vickersmg.blog/manual/small-arms-training-manuals/ Plus, support those guys!

This is the earliest official reference...

Mike shows off a friend's first generation British 7.62mm Target Rifle, based on a Lee-Enfield No.4.

Newsreel footage used under fair use.

Thanks to 4(T) for a few pictures!

Bono estente! Down in Bella Italia, Bloke meets up with Kevin of SBAM shooting for a spot of shooting and banter on the range. BotR combining with SBAM is a bit like crossing the beams in Ghostbusters (the original one), and disaster would have to ensue. By definition. Ammo didn't turn up, and wh...

Rowan joins Bloke on the Range for a discussion about the common Lee-Enfield and .303 British myths, which seem to originate in the US. How could the rifles have been used for so long in the British Empire and Commonwealth, including in competition out to 1000 yards, without people noticing that ...

Bloke takes his Bulgarian-contract 8x50R Mannlicher M95 straight pull rifle out for a spin at 300m. It's really surprisingly accurate!

Bloke unboxes and takes a first look at the Tikka T3x Arctic rifle, adopted as the C19 rifle for the Canadian Rangers in 7.62 NATO / .308 Winchester. Is the hype real? Oh yes! Yes, it really is!

Another "contrary to popular belief" mythbust: yes, M95 Mannlicher straight pull rifles do indeed have primary extraction.

In a slight deviation from normal mad minute programming, Mike takes a look at a more or less practical 15 rounds, and discusses the important point that if you can in principle fire 25+ rounds, when you dial it back to 15 you can spend much more time doing things like aiming, worrying about your...

A bit long this one, but I thought some people might like to see the whole process, and how some rifles will really like some ammo and not others.

Here's Bloke's "Minty Mauser", which is a Spanish M43 (kinda almost VZ24 / Kar98k configuration), with a scope mount and turned down bolt handle do...

An addendum to an earlier video...

Bloke gets loaned a back-converted M1900 Kurzgewehr and some re-primed original 1910 dated GP90 ammo to try out at 300m!

This one was originally a 1900 Short Rifle, was officially converted to a K00/11, and then unofficially converted back to a model 1900.

Th...

By a surprising amount of popular demand, here's what Bloke did to get his 1945-dated Indian Ishapore-built .303" SMLE no.1 Mk.III* ("Iffy Ishy") ready for the range.

And the answer is: basically as little as possible. But this was a bigger task than he first anticipated!

Also contains som...

Yes, so the big aperture bit of this footage has been used in an earlier Extra Vid. But what are these Extra Vids for, if not for re-cycling footage to illustrate specific points? In this case, that the Lee-Enfield No.4 big aperture isn't less accurate than the small aperture to any meaningful de...

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 ...

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

K...

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...

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.

Mike takes on the challenge of the October 2019 Historic Service Rifle match at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley, UK, with his trusty 2-groove Long Branch made Lee-Enfield No.4 in .303 British. This match consisted of 5 practices at 100, 200 and 300 yds, with the rifles shot "as-issued". Divi...

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.
