A very brief look at an unconverted German Gewehr 88 (which nevertheless had had the chamber re-cut for the spitzer S-Patrone), which had not been converted to an 88/05 ...

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 the Mad Minutes series, here's what happens with 1100fps light cast bullet loads in a .303 British Lee-Enfield No.4. Includes a comparison with the original No.4 Mad Minute footage

Chappy tries his hand at the début de siècle pre-WW1 French Berthier Cavalry Carbine exercises. How does he do with his 8x50R Lebel M16 Berthier Mousqueton?

So, it turns out that Neil of The Wirksworth Gunroom was looking after a very interesting piece that I had no prior knowledge of: BSA's competitor to the trials which resulted in the adoption of the 5.56mm L98A1 Cadet GP monstrosity rifle that I suffered as a CCF cadet at school back in the 90's....

In this video we look at Military Mauser 98 (Gewehr 98, Kar98AZ / Kar98a, Kar98k) accuracy based on figures from German the 1909 and pre-WW2 Schiessvorschrift. We also look at the WW2 era K98k acceptance standard, including the 300m test for the Japanese 98k contract, and a 1901 Hythe test of two...

Finally, back in the saddle looking at the trials which led from the Schmidt-Rubin models 1889, 89/96, 1900 and 1905 firing 7.5mm GP90 to the K11 and IG11 firing GP11.

In which we test as many types of Lee-Enfield No.4 rear sight as possible, to see at what range setting on the leaf corresponds to the point of impact given by the battle sight with the leaf folded down. A surprising result, which needs more empirical research in respect of the Mk.1 milled sights...

A discussion around the Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle in Service Rifle (b) configuration, centre bedded by Alfred J Parker of Birmingham.

SR(b) was the forerunner of British/Commonwealth Target Rifle, fired with the .303 British and Commonwealth service rifles of the day. Externally, aside from a mid ...

In this vid we take a look at an Enfield L39A1 (target rifle counterpart to the L42A1 sniper rifle) and an Envoy, and discuss the "in-between" model, the No4. 7.62 CONV.

Built on unused Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.2 type actions in 7.62x51mm / .308 Winchester, these were the official contributions fro...

Welcome to Bloke on the Range Strip Club, where we're only interested in one thing: Will It Strip. First up: 7.62 NATO 10 round charger / stripper clip in a Sterling Lee-Enfield No.4 conversion .308 Win. Cartridges are, of course, homemade dummies.

Othias of C&Rsenal certainly inspires Bloke t...

Welcome to Bloke on the Range Strip Club, where we're only interested in one thing: Will It Strip. This episode: can a French 7.5x54 MAS 36 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...

Othias ...

Welcome to Bloke on the Range Strip Club, where we're only interested in one thing: Will It Strip. This episode: What to do once you've stripped your French 7.5x54 MAS 36 charger? It depends on the piece and whether you're doing it by the book. In any case nimble finger work is involved...

Welcome to Bloke on the Range Strip Club, where we're only interested in one thing: Will It Strip. This episode: can a Swiss 7.5x55 GP11 charger be used to load a French 7.5x54 bolt action rifle, namely a MAS36 or Berthier M34? Let's find out...

Mike of Bloke on the Range and Ian of Forgotten Weapons have a nice little rapid fire "mad minute" style flexing session with the Sterling Conversion Lee-Enfield No.4 in 308 Win / 7.62 x 51mm NATO, chucking a bit of lead downrange at a good rate in Finland at the end of Finnish Brutality 2021 Win...

Here we have an odd one out in the single shot military black powder cartridge rifle series 'cos a Vetterli is a repeater innit!

This episode is simply to show what a repeater brings to the field especially in a situation where rapide fire may be necessary, whether the incoming horde makes a ...

Shooting around a barricade is quite self-explanatory with a semi-auto rifle, but as Bloke discovered on the timer in a match, it's a different thing entirely when you've got to work a turnbolt rifle: how exactly do you hang on to it? Bloke discusses his experience and the solutions he came up wi...

In response to some *very* virulent comments over the years, this video rather proves that point that the bolt throw on a rear locking rifle can be shorter than on a front-locking rifle, aside from a couple of exceptional cases...

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" ...

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...

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...
