    On the subject of craziest platforms ever...

    In bootcamp 1980, in the Norwegian army, we found a contraption on the scrapheap that was a AA lavette for six ( or it might have been eight) HK G3s side by side in a row. The lavette had a AA ringsight and trigger in the center. Fortunatly our CO had a sense of humour and let us test it. We...

    Army to buy 107,000 Sig m5 rifles, 13,000 Sig m250 LMG, total $4.7 billion contract

    The SIG M5 must have some kind of wonder steel barrel to last 12000 rounds. Just for laughs, how about using the same barrel steel tech in an AR15 chambered for 17rem with 1-8" shooting 30gr AP bullets, bc .3+, at 3700fps+? Theoretically, at 500m the 17rem has the same ballistic performance as...

    Swiss K31: Stunning

    Has anyone tried the Swissproducts sidemount rail for left side of the receiver? This mount will place the scope in the same position as on a Garand Sniper. With a Garand sniper cheekrest and this sidemount, and with a scope in low rings, I think this would be a very good compromise. No need to...

    MG42 in action in Ukraine

    MG3 is "MG42a1" in 7.62NATO. The first German MG3s were converted MG42s donated from Norway to Germany in the 50'ies. Official designation for a converted gun is MG2. A MG42 in 8x57 can be converted to MG3 in 7.62NATO in 3 minutes. All parts are interchangeable. I've even played with an...

    MG42 in action in Ukraine

    A mindboggeling picture. Just think what MG42s did against massed Soviet attacks app 80 years ago in the same battlegrounds. There are still app 1 mill soldiers unaccounted for in Ukraine from WW2.

    HK SR9T

    Here's my HK91 with PSG1 trigger: Scope in picture is just for show. Too big. I usually shoot with a S&B PM2 10x42.

    Chasing Gear, the broken record of shooting lighter calibers

    Handling and shootability for off hand shooting. Bullpups suck at this. We usually run max 4" suppressor extention in Europe. If you have 7-9" a R8 makes even more sense.

    Chasing Gear, the broken record of shooting lighter calibers

    You get 3 - 4" barrel length for "free" to get more velocity. Or the length of a suppressor.

    Chasing Gear, the broken record of shooting lighter calibers

    We were not used to the Blaser either 20 years ago. Now the R8 is sweeping the floor with all other hi end rifles in Europe. Here's GRS riflestock's 338LM. If the barrel was 223 it would have looked identical. (The AI AX MC/SR is 4" longer given same barrel length and has double weight)

    Chasing Gear, the broken record of shooting lighter calibers

    Do you need a 10 round magazine on your rifle? If not, get a Blaser R8. A Blaser R8 in 308 is app 3" shorter than a 700sa (and almost 4" shorter than a 700la) when both rifles have the same barrel length. The R8 with 24" barrels in 22lr, 223rem and 338 Lapua mag has the same total rifle...

    Really cool piece of history for sale here!

    I met Malcolm Cooper at a shooting range in Norway in the beginning of the 80'ies. He was supposed to do some shooting with a guy who didn't show up and the 300m range was closed. I invited him into the 100m moving target range and he showed me his then latest 300m switch barrel rifle chambered...

    As a former MS shooter I really like this Wichita 243 rifle: https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/924374015

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    Start with a rifle layout and technical features that performs best at the most difficult sport; 500m metallic silhouette. Shooting full bore silhouette will very quickly let every shooter know how important rifle "handling, balance and shootability" are for an app 9ibs rifle. Especially for...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    ..in addition to 300000 well equiped, well trained and motivated Finnish soldiers.. In the 80'ies a Finnish general attending a military conference in Europe was asked by media, who thought he was from one of the the then occupied Baltic states, the following question: "How many Soviet...
