:thumbup: I think that would be a good approach.

Very true, the G3 is nearly useless in full auto. In training we were given free ammo and told we could shoot full auto as much as we wanted provided we got a high enough score with each mag. That didn't last long... There is a way to control it used in competitions, but it's hardly useful in...

@barnfrog We seem to be derailing your thread into a starter on Swedish gun laws, do you want me to take this discussion to a separate thread?

Depends on where you live and the time of year, when I bought mine I applied for a purchase permit which is basically the same thing only you don't know which exact one you are going to get. Two days later I got a call from the PD and the lady said I had to specify which manufacturer I wanted...

True, and we make the Mora knives. Which one would you choose in a fight? :D

No, just the regular license application fee, approx. $35

Hallå Virginia! Yes you can, for target shooting, IPCS etc. So strictly for sport, and it's a bit of a process getting a licens. ML made prior to 1890 are free though so I have five revolvers currently. Edit: Suppressors can be had for hunting rifles from 222 Rem and up, they require their...

How!? One makes the best anti aircraft artillery in the world and mooses, the other makes... eh... cheese and.. cuckoo clocks

I bought an antique Dixon & sons 20 oz powder flask, it arrived in the mailbox chock full of BP. I suspect there are rules about things like that... The powder burns good anyhow, I bought a new old 14 g bunny eared shotgun and it handles real hefty charges.

Sharing handloads is illegal here in Sweden, for good reasons. You can't give, loan or sell it without a license for commercial reloading. I break the law by shooting what's left of my dad's reloads, but there's only like 30 rounds left so I might just keep them as a momento.

Sorry, it's 5 am here and there's a bloody (or soon to be of i can only spot it) woodpecker been going at it hammer and tongs for the last hour and a half behind my bedroom. Makes you the tiniest bit cranky...

Well, strictly speaking a mil is 10 km, but if you state that a milliradian is 1 whatever at 1 000 whatevers that's true. But only for small values of milliradian. (See MCB's excellent post on small angle approximations) If you're 1 571 mRad off at 1 000 m, you're definitely not 1.571 m off...

Yes, there are 2*Pi radians = 6,2831853072.. rounded to 6238 mRad in a circle. The Swedish Army decided that was to complicated so they defined a circle to be 6300 MIL, the US and henceforth NATO thought even that to be too hard to divide in your head and settled for 6400 MIL in the circle and...

Ah, it's a scope! I thought it was some recoilless anti tank artillery thing with a spotting rifle.

The middle one with the double trigger is just about the same size as a NMA. The top one is 32 bore, .526, a proper size pistol! Would probably take .550 RB Deane, Adams & Deane dragoon size revolver as used in Crimea. It came out of Vicksburg about 30 years ago. Might have been one of the...
