As "Masters Of The Air" has been released I think there is a related, unknown, story to be told of one of the unsung heroes of WW2. During WW2 he was a Norwegian citizen. After WW2 he became an US businessman and citizen. His story is incredible: Sverre Bergh, a 20 year old Norwegian student...

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...

I got this G3 OIP scope today, including the HK claw mount, for $120.. :) The scope was issued as a DMR scope for the AG3 in the Norwegian army in the 70'ies. The scope and mount is in 95%+ condition. BDC is from 100 - 800m with 50m clicks after 200m. (Note the velcro pads that keep the lens...

Ok, this maybe should have been posted in the semi auto thread..

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.

A brilliant bio of Willis 'Ching' Lee on one of Youtube's best channels: Drachinifel. ( A side note; Willis 'Ching' Lee was soundly beaten by Norwegian shooters from my club in the Running Deer events in the 1920 Olympics :) )

Try your skills in Norwegian.. :) (or Google translate) http://www.kvf.no/guns-hoved.php Dialed in for 1500m in 1910..:

Some European barrels are made with choke towards the muzzle. Choke prevents increased gas blow by as the bullet passes through the barrel getting more and more worn. Reduced gas blow by towards the muzzle reduce barrel wear due to the "blow torch effect". This is scientifically proved by GIAT...

Dear President Xi Jinping Your embassy in Berlin has addressed me in an open letter because we asked in our newspaper BILD whether China should pay for the massive economic damage the corona virus is inflicting worldwide. Let me respond: 1. You rule by surveillance. You wouldn't be president...

For new viewers, the best military comedy series: Blackadder series 4. A short clip sadly very close to reality: Spoiler alert: The series 4 last episode ending is the best television moment produced ever. See all episodes first to see why.

One of Norway's greatest heroes of all time, Joachim Rønneberg, passed away this weekend. Rønneberg led the commando raid that disrupted the production of "heavy water" needed to produce a nazi nuclear weapon. The raid has been featured in several books, movies and TV-series ...

Barrel and action is hammer forged in one piece. This should ensure a perfect fit between barrel and action.. :-) https://www.steyr-arms.com/en/weapons/hunting-rifles/steyr-monobloc/

I have an A-Square Hannibal in 338 A-Square Mag, very similar to 338-378 Weatherby. After watching a video from Forgotten Weapons on Youtube about a P14 sniper rifle I sort of figured out it would be fun to make a copy of the WW1 sniper rifle chambered for 338 Lapua. I know it is crazy, but what...

And now for something completely different: Check out the female soprano with a sixgun earring :-) This is fantastic:

Are there any Short Action AICS mags for 6mmRem, 6.5x55 or 284win on the market with 2.95" col?. I know the col in an AISC mag is to short for the 6.5x55. I have a SA rifle with 2.95" fixed mag and I just reduce col on factory ammo in a seater die. It works fine.
