Bloke takes his shiny new M16A1 from 1980 +/- 3 years to the 300m range and sights it in. And is rather impressed by it. Chappie rather likes it too! Man of tastes, he is

A little teasing look at Chappie's Manhurin-built SIG SG 540 in .223 Rem on the 300m range.

Blokey likey. It's kinda the M16A1 of the SIG range :)

Also served as practice for working with a handheld Rode Wireless Go in an interview stick.

In which Mike looks if he can verify results from various US army M16A1 test reports, namely on page 17 of this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vjkGkmbg-uua9gqo46A0xcHxClJuz5SX/view?usp=sharing

There's also reference to the M16A2 from this report: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12qua8Eg...

Mike gets a chance to have a go on a factory semiauto FAMAS bullpup rifle owned by the gentleman behind the HACH Helvetic Arms Switzerland channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcxfZ9q0qCpq3CBlDNctrCw
He ran Remote Brutality with that rifle, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/wa...

A bit of a nerdgasm here on the first three generations of 30 round magazines for the British Army's fabled Enfield 5.56mm SA80 rifle series: Colt, RG (Radway Green), HK (Heckler & Koch, aka Hasst Kunden).

Organised by @Riflechair in Canada, Bloke and Chap attempt the Cabin Fever Challenge 2023 in Division 6 (.22 Rimfire) at 50m on a 4" target. How did they get on with Bloke's Victor Arms / CZ / ADCO / LUVO V-22 upper on an Oberland Arms AR-15 lower?

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...

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 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...

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?

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.

Unboxing vid and maybe the start of a bullpuppy farm?

In which Mike takes a post-war rebuild Winchester-made M1 Carbine and has a look at what it can or can't do at 300m.

.30 Carbine For The Win!

While at a dynamic practical rifle match with his Colt M16A1 (9 million series), Mike wound the adjustment drum too far on his Brownells Retro 4x AR15 / M16 carry handle scope, and lost elevation zero by about 4 MOA or so. Which was fun on the clock!

The question is: if you don't wind the adj...

In which Bloke takes his 9 million series real Colt M16A1 (not an AR15, or a build kit or a repro) at 300m with a Brownells Retro 4x carry handle scope and puts 30 reasonably quick rounds through the barrel to see if there's any worrying drift due to imperfect stress relief in the barrel. What ha...

Bloke bought yet another Holosun 503, and also a 3x swing-out magnifier to go with it. The interesting question is whether the magnifier causes any optical distortion that changes the point of impact compared to the bare red dot optic.

What better way than to test it than at 300m on electronic...

Bloke takes his ex-Slovenian Territorial Defense Chartered Industries of Singapore SAR-80 in 5.56x45 / 5.56 NATO / .223 Rem out to 300m to see how it groups, and the video takes a disturbing twist. This garbage-tier

Mike takes his Bushmaster M17S Bullpup in .223 Rem out to 300m with a Holosun 503 red dot on top to see how it performs, and to decide whether he'll be taking it to Finland for an SRA rifle / pistol competition in July 2021.

Also features an Australian Automatic Arms AAA SAC.

In which Mike takes his Australian Automatic Arms SAC in .223 Rem / 5.56x45mm out to 300m with a Holosun 503 atop it to zero it and to see what it can do.

Here at BotR we show things as we find them, warts and all, so you're seeing this more or less as Mike did, with all its frustration...

In which Mike takes another look at the deflection of the mean point of impact with an M16A1 at 300m for hand-rested, bipod, hasty sling, magazine rested and freehand, this time with a Brownells Retro 4x Carry Handle Scope to see if it makes a palpable difference to the iron sights tested here: ...

Chappie's instareactions to an M16A1 and to Bloke's heavily customised Oberland Arms OA-15 HBAR with a Muzzle Brake Of Doom on it.

In which Mike takes another look at the deflection of the mean point of impact on the AR15 platform, this time with a #wwsd2020 at 300m for bipod, hasty sling, magazine rested and freehand, to see how much better it is than a non-freefloat M16A1 with pencil barrel.
