Mike goes to the 50m Pistol Morgartenschiessen for the second time, with his 9x19mm SIG P210 pistol. No practice, no sighters! How did he get on with this really challenging historic shoot?
Bloke takes the ejector screw out of his Lee-Enfield No.4 to show that it's not actually the ejector screw that deals with ejection of empty cases. In fact, it's only necessary for ejecting live rounds, particularly when doing a pumping back-and-forth unload.
He explains how this can be so!

PS: The Textbook of Small Arms 1928, p. 43 describes the action correctly: "The ejector is a small screw which projects slightly into the bolt-way on the left side. On drawing back the bolt the back edge of the rim of the cartridge case catches against the end of this screw and is thrown out of the rifle to the right. In practice this action only takes place in the case of a bulletted round, when the case is held on the bolt face until the bullet is clear of the breech. An empty case, being shorter and therefore being clear of the bareel sooner, is normally thrown out to the right by action of its rim frictioning against the sloping portion of the groove hollowed out in the left side of the body immediately behind the breech."

Just some random footage I had on hand with the CMMG 9mm Rotary Delayed Blowback AR15 upper with a JP SCSS silent captured spring system and a 5.4oz 9mm carbine buffer. For what it's worth...

Was there any real speed advantage to a bolt action over other breechloading actions before the advent of repeating mechanisms? The chap aims to find out with a mad minute modified to reflect the 1870s

Apparently training videos for Finnish Brutality 2021 The Winter War are a thing. So Bloke and Chap decided to do their own take on it! Allergy information: contains gluten and large doses of nuts!!!

Le Chap tente de recémenter la batterie usée de la platine à silex de sa carabine Baker, avec des résultats plutôt variées selon le procédé suivi.

Jenny and Jari of @Varusteleka talk to Bloke and explain what Finnish SRA (Shooting sports for Reservist Associations) dynamic shooting is all about, in all its practical rifle, pistol and shotgun glory! With a nice little tangent into how national service in the Finnish military works.

Les retex des combats en zones désertiques, par exemple en Algérie, ont démontré que les tolérances de fabrication du boîtier de chargeur et du chargeur 32 coups lui-même étaient sensibles aux infiltrations de sable. Pour y remédier, le chargeur (19)58 ou chargeur "sable" est créé. Le chargeur répond au cahier de charge mais perds pas mal de capacité, les modifications réduisant le volume de 32 coups à 20 coups.

Tim came to visit. He hadn't fired any form of handgun before. So Mike showed him the ropes! As a new shooter, he was a natural! Some of us had to work hard before we could shoot that well!
