Our self defence laws are quite good, or at least how they have been interpreted in the last 10-15 years. But you have no (legal) right to carry a weapon (inkluding knives) for defecive purposes in public. While it is legal to use your hunting gun for home protection, you can not write that on...

This translation is "unofficial" and a new law is expected sometime before the winter but as of today this translation is correct. Norwegian firearm laws A short summary of Norwegian gun laws: To buy a gun you need a permit from the local police chief, and the general rule is that anyone who...

As for the 1.aid kit and training, I plan on/hope to keep the unlucky fellow alive for 30 minutes, then qualified personel will be there in 90% of the situations and locations I find myself in on a regular day. That means the neccecary equipment is not verry much, I have a heavy sciccor, (to...

Well, who said we was immune to that? And I don't think we will see suicide bombers screaming "alla akbar", our nanny state and all, people have it to good. They probably will use timed or remote controlled bombs in stead, history have showed them to be more popular in Europe anyway (ETA, IRA...

As (badly) written in my first post: Carrying any means of self defence is illegal here, hence the risk of arrest, prison, fines and the loss of any future legal possesion of firearms is very real if you decide to carry a gun for protection (against the law). Even the scissors in the first aid...

I do not carry a defensive weapon, as I don't find it to be of any significant benefit to me. Low crime, illegal (mostly, it is possible to find "creative" solutions), no tradition of beeing armed for protection (last 150 years at least) and the fact that most situations is best solved by...

It's nothing wrong with the 6.5x55, it's only a dull cartridge (here anyway). But it has a little recoil, great accuracy and fairly outstanding long-range capabilities. And would probably be the "best" logical choise for my rifle and my use, but as long as I don't like it, I don't like it...

all possible cleaning have been tried, and it worked "some" but not as much as i hoped for. Even got a gunsmith to secure the recoil-lug in epoxy/fiberglass, it to worked, but still not enough. As for shot out barrel, I have shot ~900 rounds with it and nobody knows how much it was used the 50+...

.30-06 is videly avileable here (mostly due to some 100.000 rebarreled m98's beeing sold by the army a few years back), and is among top 3 common rounds. It's not that I want a new caliber, I only want to consider the options before i use ~400€ on a barrel. Other options would be .308, but...

I have a m98 that already have seen two major changes. 1. Norwegian army, rebarreled to .30-06 in 1950's. and 2. (semi) professional reabuild to hunting rifle, new stock (with nice wood by the way) new 1/4 safety, reshaped bolt arm and scope mount and 4x30 scope (meopta) 8-10 years ago. So any...

From the revolution viewpoint, who is ,as I understand, the driving force behind creating the 2nd. A, the meaningful arms for the people to keep will change with time. The Govt have nukes, aircraft, tanks, infantry, poison gas etc. and will always be stronger than You, the people, in material...

http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1462108.ece [in english] http://oslopuls.no/nyheter/article1462234.ece [in norwegian] No one was killed or injured, and aperantly that was not the goal either, but it still sends a bad message. And this is just the last of a long list of smaller...

I got one more: Rolling Block shotgun, as far as I know nobody has made these for 50+ years. It's time for them to return.

A high quality bolt action shotgun, with mauser-style extractor. And a rimless 12 ga shotgun brass cartridge (with magnum "belt").
