Whiskey is Irish. Whisky is Scots. Old Pulteney is one of those whiskies that you either like or hate. If your mate likes a lot of peat, go for an Islay single malt, such as Laphraoig, Ardbeg, etc....

Nothing on 4x but SWFA has a 6x with MilDot reticle.

Sportsmatch probably make a Weaver to 3/8 adaptor. Could make things easier. For you.

Accuracy is necessary for accurate support fire during flank attack. The Bren and ZB26 are apparently very good in this situation. The MG34 vehicle mount guns and MG42 ground mount guns were...

Mk VIIIz was for belt-fed machine guns only. It was developed to compete with the 7.92x57 IS sS load, introduced by the Germans in either 1917 or 1918 (cannot remember which, right now).

I have been using Weavers and Leupolds for over thirty years.

Weaver eye relief is always what they say it is. The older style Leupold scopes tend to have about 2/3 of what is advertised, e.g. the...

If you type in Sirius Patrol Weapons, a link should appear for wwiiafterwwii. It has some good info on the Gevaer 53-17 and its use.

I understand that he had a Model 1895 in .405 WCF with him when he died.

Warnes return to zero on my Brno 30-06.

Year I started school, old fella.

It is my understanding that the NZFS started out with .222 Norma ammunition only and then mixed it up with cheaper ammo buys. When that happened the headmen got first dibs on the Norma ammo and their...

Confusion regarding cup thickness results from the fact that Remington introduced the 7-1/2 primer with a thicker cup, due to pierced primers in hot .223 Remington (and probably .222 Remington...

Definitely an XTR. Beautiful rifle. Jealous, much. Hope you make the little beggar work for it. :)

The big thing is, that what is described ... is not half cock! The Lee Enfields have a half cock system but otherwise, it is basically an external-hammer-gun thing.

Costs a bit more and (although it should not be a problem in this country) the Yanks have reportedly had issues with flattened bullet noses when rounds are left in tubular magazines between hunts.

Ergal, etc. are European trade names for 7075 aluminium alloy, as used in the AR10, AR 15, SR25 et al. You cannot beat ordnance steel!

Or Anschuetz, if you have trouble sorting out a u with an umlaut above it.

The Ross Mk III, yes. The Ross Mk II, NO.

Watch the recent You Tube video by Ian of Forgotten Weapons to see the difference. Hell of a lot easier than trying to comprehend a magazine article on...

Military twist rate is 1 in 200mm (1 in 7.87 inches). European manufacturers appear to have settled on a twist rate of 1 in 220mm (1 in 8.66 inches) for 6.5x55 SE sporting rifles at some time in the...

Also, the LBW was not fully engineered and tested before release. Din Collings had to rectify a firing pin retention issue on a Voere LBW rifle within a year or so of its release on the NZ market....

That model uses a post-48 FN style action with the collar broached on both sides. I have seen the fancier version, the 2165, which appears to be a good rifle with significant accuracy potential (by...

I suspect that you mean semi-buckhorn. Buckhorn is basically a forward-mounted peep with a small arc removed at the top. It was a failure hence the semi-buckhorn. Peep backsights are better at...

Just put it on his weapon carrier (quad/ute) and not a problem. :) Seriously though, they balance well and the action feels nice but it is a full-size action without any lightening cuts.

Santa Barbara has the post-48 FN cut, through the left side of the receiver collar whereas an exmiltary action will have the full C-ring collar. Do not get too wrapped up with the extra cut in the...

Be aware that if you have an X-51, as opposed to the X-51 bis, the pin that secures the sear disconnector is mounted vertically AND has been known to fall out. The pin in the X-51 bis is mounted...
