    Mauser cleaning rod

    I checked a Swedish training/technical manual: "Instructions for the Infantry Soldier" from 1943. About the Mauser M/96, it teaches that if soldiers were missing the full length rods, and the special longer jags, they should team up in pairs using the short cleaning rod and the standard brush...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Finally endured the tests and waiting period required for a pistol license and I recently got my Walther (Ulm) PP in 22LR. Manufactured around 1959, almost mint condition, complete in box with spare mag, cleaning brush and the original target. I love it!

    Ever had a bad day at the range?

    Oh.. Forgot about the time I was shooting without a shirt on, and a tracer started a small fire in a pile of branches.. When jumping on the pile to put out the fire, my chest hair caught fire...

    Making of a shooter (1946)

    Friends! I came across this heart warming movie and wanted to share it with you. It´s about a young man learning to use guns in a safe and correct manner. The focus is also at sportsmanship and politeness between shooters. Shooting is regarded "the most democratic sport for the whole...

    Favorite Firearms For Winter Shooting

    Mauser m/96.. Open sights that don´t get filled with snow so easy. I remember the army days blowing warm breath at the rear sights of my G3 or Fn-Fnc in cold weather to be able to take proper aim...

    Army's Airborne Sniper System -- .338 Lapua

    Am I the only conservative reactionary who would like to pull the brakes on the technical developements and see angry short-haired guys running cursing up steep hills carrying bolt action rifles fighting each other. The thought of a physically underdeveloped 19-year old with pimples, Jolt...

    "Never sell a gun"

    The only guns I have sold I´ve sold to close friends so that they "stay in the family"... Both of these were sold because I wanted to buy identical rifles, but in better condition than the ones I had before..

    My time in Israel...

    4Freedom! Thanks for your link to the shooting range. We had one day on the range with M4 rifles, but it would have been great to do some more shooting... I´ll remember that place the next time I go on Sar-El. Actually I´m not Jewish, but I hold Israel and the IDF in high regard, and felt...

    My time in Israel...

    Whoa.. Issues regarding Israel have a tendency to make tempers flare. I saw that myself when I came back. Some of my friends were NOT happy about me working in Israeli uniform. We were not allowed to carry weapons since our work were non-fighting assignments and because it would be against...

    What non shooting functions have your guns or parts served?

    In the army, going to the "mens room" dug 4 feet deep in the snow, I stuck the stock of my FN-FNC in the wall of snow and used the barrel as a toilet paper roll holder. Otherwise, my mauser bayonet has cut a lot of meat and opened many bottles of Beer...
