    My 138 year old Swiss Vetterli

    Ya I’ve never seen an 1869 go for a price that was in my budget at least not one in a condition I would be interested in.

    My 138 year old Swiss Vetterli

    I've been playing around with my old Swiss rifles for about a year now. I went from having one to having 4 of them in just about every model except the carbines and M1869. looking for a carbine currently. Getting the rifles was easy but making the brass from 8mm Lebel took basically a whole...

    6.5 Grendel loads with AR comp

    I was trying to work up a load with 6.5 Grendel for my rifle. I’ve got a 24” barrel and was looking for a good target load with a 123 grain bullet. There is not a lot of information on AR comp loads for 6.5 Grendel. From what I could gather 27 grains was a good place to start. However after...

    Time to buy a CZ-75

    Well I carried a Glock for a duty pistol for years so not having a safety is fine with me especially for that application. I just don't care to shoot striker fired guns if I'm not required to and the SIG is an option I looked into. I just like the feel of a BHP or Cz-75 a lot more. I also like...

    Time to buy a CZ-75

    I shot in a steel match for the first time today. Despite it pouring rain and shooting while standing in an inch of slick mud It was a lot of fun. I have a lot of experience shooting pistol but never made it out to shoot in a match before. I had no issue hitting the steel and my target...

    Responding to anti gun questions

    Ya I don’t do videos for people with short attention spans. The videos I watch are all at least ten minutes possibly 45 minutes or longer. I’m looking for intelligent arguments not dumbed down twitter comments. The audio book for the gulag archipelago is 70 hours long. Good arguments are not...

    Responding to anti gun questions

    I go looking to have discussions with anti gun people because i think it's interesting. A few days ago a channel on YouTube that is very anti gun made a questions for "Gun people" video. I thought some of you might be interested in seeing my response. Some of his questions were very telling...

    Springfield Range Officer in 9mm: Finicky but good.

    Your right it would but I'm not to concerned so long at it runs with my reloads. I don't plan on running the cheap stuff threw it anyway.

    Springfield Range Officer in 9mm: Finicky but good.

    I'd have to agree on the trigger. It's not bad but nothing extraordinary. I'm having mine worked on by a gunsmith that specializes in 1911s. Trigger job on a 1911 is a little more than I want to do at home.

    Springfield Range Officer in 9mm: Finicky but good.

    I don't know if I would expect a target pistol to preform with a wide variety of ammo. I spend quite a lot of time working up loads for my rifles and pistols. I don't expect my target guns to work with anything cheap. I wouldn't want to run cheap ammo threw them anyway. Especially with rifles...

    Springfield Range Officer in 9mm: Finicky but good.

    Picked up this pistol a few months back. It seemed like a good way to break into more expensive target pistols. I might have to spend a bit in modifications but it would still not brake the bank. So far I've been very impressed with it. It's certainly accurate. I'm getting better groups with it...

    Berthier 1892/M16 at the range.

    That's to bed but if you feel like passing on that 1886 I would give you a good price on it. They normally go for about $600.

    Berthier 1892/M16 at the range.

    It's an 1892 berthier Model M16 AKA 1892/M16. So it's a 92 berthier with the 1916 modifications and it was produced in the early 1920's. So it's nearing 100 years old.

    Berthier 1892/M16 at the range.

    Well if you're not a fan of French rifles I wouldn't mind buying those off of you. Especially that 1886 bot the 1907 is on my list. If the bores are good I would definitely give you a fair price.

    Berthier 1892/M16 at the range.

    I've been interested in French firearms for a long time and finally got into reloading 8mm Lebel recently. So I took my M16 carbine which is just a few years away from its 100 year anniversary out and did a video on its history and some of the more paractical things about owning a reloading for...

    Experimenting with 147 grain 9mm

    I've been playing around with range loads using 147 grain bullets from Missouri bullet company and results have been pritty good. Acuracy is about the same as my 125 grain loads and recoil is very light. It makes from very easy and quick shooting. I've been using 800x and tight group powder so...

    Sig P938 One of the best carry guns available.

    About a year and a half ago i was looking for a new carry gun. I always carried snub nose revolvers, maybe a Makarov once in a while. I had owned a few small 9mms including a PF( but was never impressed. I was going to buy a S&W airweight but I noticed the P938 at the gun shop and decided to...

    Rossi M92 .45 colt things to consider.

    I am completely with you on the oversized chambers. I've taken to not resizing the brass just keeping it fire formed to the gun. On lighter loads with fully resized brass you can tell that it's not getting a great gas seal. I've noticed this problem with a number of modern guns not just the Rossi.
