Norway missed out on the best sniper rifle in WW2

In 1938 the Norwegian Army understood that the Krag was not the action for a military sniper rifle.
Kongsberg Arms Factory bought 25 M96 Mauser actions from Sweden to build prototypes.
The M38 sniper prototype configuration is mind boggeling.

For the scoped rifle Kongsberg used an action without thumb cut to get maximum action stiffness. The 28" barrel is free floated and straight taper from 30mm at receiver to 20mm at muzzle. chambered for 6,5x55 with 1-8" twist. The stock configuration speaks for itself. Scope is 4X Carl Zeiss with BDC to 1100m in turret mounts. Trigger is tuned to 3ibs.The, unfortunatly very bad, picture is taken from the 1938-1939 yearbook of the "Shooting and Winter warfare school"

Would a clone of this rifle be legal at vintage sniper matches :cool:

The German occupation of Norway in 1940 prevented the adaptation of this clearly exellent rifle:

Stolen US Optics Scope... SCOPE HAS BEEN RECOVERED

Hi All:

Couple of weeks ago I bought an older US Optics scope through eBay. Seller is Vigilance Rifles in AZ and have been absolutely one of the best eBay sellers I've ever dealt with. Great communications, fast shipping... everything one could want.

Unfortunately, the scope made it to Fedex Warehouse in CT and has simply disappeared. Was supposed to be here almost 2 weeks ago. Numerous calls to Fedex and as of today they simply say "It's disappeared from our system and we can't find it... collect the insurance." Thanks Fedex. You continue to be useless... as always. Not to mention half your employees are thieves.

It was fully insured. And I am covered by eBay and by Credit Card Company if they fail to refund.... But the scope is a pretty unique early 5-25 Horus Reticle and I damn well wanted it for a specific rifle. And now it's disappered.

Since you guys in Sniper's Hide have had a pretty good track record finding some rare and older stuff (Rifles in particular)... I'll post here with serial number and photos. If anyone sees it (especially in CT or New England)... let me know! It's a total longshot. But maybe we can recover it. I'm sending the info to US Optics as well, in case anyone contacts them. And we'll be filing a police report with the CT State Police Troop C which covers Willington.

Here's some pictures. It is Serial Number 05-0176. Early model and one of JBW2's customs. It has a Horus Reticle.

Mississippi Inmate Who Escaped Months Before Release Gets 40 Years in Prison

https://www.breitbart.com/crime/202...d-months-before-release-gets-40-years-prison/

Shunekndrick Huffman


A man who escaped from a Mississippi prison with only a few months left before his release is headed back to prison for a long time.
When 21-year-old Shunekndrick Huffman escaped from the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility on August 25, he broke into a neighbor’s house, held three individuals at gunpoint for several hours, then eventually drove off in a car belonging to one of the residents, Sky News reported Tuesday.
He later crashed the vehicle and took off on foot.
In a social media post August 25, the state’s department of corrections said officials found and captured Huffman, who was hiding in a dumpster at the Mississippi State Hospital approximately two miles away from the prison facility.
The agency noted that “Huffman was sentenced on Oct. 14, 2019, to seven years followed by three years’ probation for aggravated assault in Leake County,” noting he was scheduled for release in December.
Rankin County district attorney Bubba Bramlett said Monday a judge sentenced the man to 40 years in prison when he admitted to the kidnapping charges.
His office said in a press release Monday:


Huffman was sentenced to 30 years, with 20 years being served and the last ten suspended for one count of kidnapping. He was also sentenced to an additional 30 years, with 20 years being served and the last ten suspended for another count of kidnapping. Upon release, Huffman will be placed on five years of supervised probation. Both sentences are to run consecutive to one another.
The excellent and efficient work and cooperation of MDOC officials, state officials, the Pearl Police Department, Rankin County Sheriff’s Department, and other agencies involved in this tense manhunt led to the successful apprehension of this escaped convict.

A “youth pastor “ we know that’s cover for mass murder drug dealer. And these hero’s didn’t buy their shit - but bravely shit down their “constitutional rights “ and hauled them to jail.
Like a public space is an appropriate forum to exercise free speech. Glad they stomped on these obviously dangerous cult . So happy to see law and order make a come back! These fucking asshole will probably claim free speech or freedom of religion or some other horse shit .

Ever wonder if hidden in plain sight is right there at you??

Lockheed Martin is so entangled with the Alien shit that it makes me wonder, is there evidence right here at the plant hidden in plain sight? Some workers know but most are clueless.!.!.!
Just a thought and with all of this whistleblowing bullshit going on, who’s really telling the truth? If we’ve had this type of technology for a century, why haven’t we used this to our advantage globally as a super power country???
Shits just weird and these guys coming forward having some whack ass stories about exposure to US Government black ops covert teams with space ships operating human trafficking missions to ET only knows where!?!?
Distraction story????, too much info for a distraction in my opinion. Real???, no fucking telling! Area 51 and Wright Pat has some weird shit and makes you truly wonder historically, what the fuck did Hitler actually have in his and the Nazi’s possession???

Vapor lock. Different gas?

Have a couple of these old trucks, carburetor with mechanical fuel pump, seems like anymore they all want to vapor lock in the summer heat, worse if going slow or climbing hills, which is everywhere here.

So I have tried electric fuel pumps back close to the tank with some success, but this one has the pump on the side of the block.

Is the gas different and causes this now days? Or what’s the deal? Never used to have this problem in years past.

Suppressors New can from silencerco

Got an email earlier for a new sico can called the scythe-Ti. Full titanium, 6.16”long 1.73” diameter and 7.3oz. It also has an optional low profile brake that can be ran on the end and no barrel length restrictions which is surprising.

This is straight from the email

“It's the quietest suppressor
we've ever tested on .300 WM.”

I can’t imagine they tested too many cans to come to that conclusion, I have a hard time believing this is quieter than my magnus or even dominus for that matter.

Admittedly I’m not a big sico fan anymore, I have a few of their cans from a decade ago when i first started getting suppressors and somehow those are the same suppressors they’re still selling today. The omega is a solid performer and the anchor brake works surprisingly well but it’s heavy by todays standards and was never updated in any way to alleviate the separation of the outer shell to the baffle stack issue they have. If you’re going to keep selling the same shit at least try and modernize them a bit, they changed the locking mechanism on the ospreys but they’re untouched otherwise. There was nothing at all they could do to increase performance while they were at it?

FBI still fighting tooth and nail to protect someone


This isn’t even the client list this is evidence and files about other victims- if this article is to be believed a none prosecutorial agreement made may let his top groomer out of prison.

And it’s certainly interesting that the former FBI directors daughter is the lead prosecutor.

What drives lot to lot variation performance in a 22LR?

I was thinking about this the other day, it seems like much more so than centerfire rifles, rim fire rifles have much larger swings in accuracy across lots of the same ammo.

What is driving this? Is it really just average velocity variation across lots of a particular ammo, or is there more things that vary lot to lot, such as rim thickness, bullet seating depth, bullet diameters, etc. When they sort 22 ammo by lots is it just average velocity based or are they sorting by these other factors as well?

It just seems like I've seen some guns that will shoot one lot of a match 22 ammo frighteningly well, and another lot of the same ammo equally horribly. Other guns seem to have pretty similar performance between lots of the same ammo. Is it really only velocity that's driving this? Not that I have not seen lots of centerfire ammo shoot better/worse in a gun, but usually the difference is very small.

SOLD Autotrickler V4

Selling my Autotrickler V4 (no scale).

Works perfectly, selling because I've been using the Super Trickler more.
