      If you like Russian Sniper rifles

      I made this video featuring my two M/N 91/30 sniper rifles. One is a 1939 PEM Tula and the other a 1943 Ishvesk from Tulsky.

      Lucky is best!

      I attended the Wanenmacher Arms Show in Tulsa this past weekend. I had a lengthy list of items most of which I never hoped to see and even hoped less to afford. In the second aisle I found this fantasy item! Yes, it is a Russian Berdan II bayonet which I had previously pretty much...

      Dreyse Needle rifle cartridge update

      It takes more time to form the sabots and cut the paper to shape, but each cartridge when all components are present only take maybe 10 minutes or so to create. Yes, that adds up but it does keep me off the streets!

      Dreyse Needle rifle cartridge update

      Sabots for Dreyse needle fire rifle I turned my sabot forms to size on my lathe and used papier mache to create the sabots. This seems to work well as they fly so far down range that I can’t locate them anywhere close to my shooting position. They are pretty dense therefore I doubt that they...

      FN49 Egyptian sniper rifle

      Actually, Thor I'm with you on that, I usually use the "if I can't shoot it, I don't want" theme! However, I have some experience with sending a rare scope away for almost 2 years for repair work due to merely firing it. I discovered that this Czech scope is pretty much unobtainable at any...

      FN49 Egyptian sniper rifle

      Here is a sniper rifle that you may never have seen before. All original FN49 Egyptian contract sniper rifle. I have owned another FN49 Egyptian rifle, one with the cheap replacement stock. It was a very fine shooting weapon. I had plans to shoot this one until I researched myself into...

      Enfield No 4 mk 1 (T) update and range report

      Here is the promised range report with a couple of upgrades to my NO 4 (T). I found a proper WW1 dated sling on Ebay and I decided to cobble up a period correct leather scope cover ( as near as I could determine from the all-knowing web). The sling is 1918 made by Westboro Trunk & Bag...

      Keltec RFB report

      Here is my summary, filled with great insight and thoughtful conclusion about my recently acquired Keltic RFB carbine. RifleForward(ejecting)Bullpup is totally ambidextrous in design and generally a success in that regard. It is in 7.62x51 nato chambering, so quite a bit of bang for your...

      Franco/Prussian shoot-off 2017

      This is my M1862 Dreyse Zundnadelgewehr. I promised awhile back to shoot this and my French M1866 Chassepot at the same time. Shot on a clear sunny day at 100 yds. with a 62 cal. (.610") lead ball and 60 gn of Pyrodex. You can see that the target only has 7 marks, the other three were flying...

      Dreyse M1862 needle rifle musings and other stuff

      On the subject of the needles, They are more robust than they appear at first glance. The needle itself is 1mm piano wire soldered to 3/32" copper tubing. I run the wire all of the way to the base so the impact is absorbed there and not on the solder joint. It is my understanding that each...

      Dreyse M1862 needle rifle musings and other stuff

      Here are items which I cobbled up for my M1862 Dreyse needle rifle. I first had to create some paper cartridges to fire in it. I also didn’t want to use the original needle so I had to create needles for this use. A military rifle without a sling is like a day without sunshine so I had to...

      Dreyse Needle rifle cartridge update

      I couple of weeks ago I posted pics of my Dreyse M1862 Zundnadelgewehr. Some asked for more specifics on making the cartridges for this old bolt gun. So here is that. These are the mandrels that I made from 5/8" steel bar to create the papier Mache sabot for the 62mm lead ball the I used...

      M1862 Dreyse Needle rifle

      Here are pics of the latest addition to the long gun collection. I had to do some work to get the bolt action acceptable. The wood, barrel, and receiver all match but the bolt is from another gun. I made up some cartridges (paper) using 60 grains of Pyrodex and a 62 caliber lead...
