    Shooting someone else's reloads

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

    Please educate me on the HK91

    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...

    Shooting someone else's reloads

    @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?

    Shooting someone else's reloads

    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

    Shooting someone else's reloads

    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...

    Goex had a fire and explosion last month

    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.

    Shooting someone else's reloads

    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.

    MIL or MOA? Why? DATA, not a DEBATE!

    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...

    MIL or MOA? Why? DATA, not a DEBATE!

    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...

    MIL or MOA? Why? DATA, not a DEBATE!

    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...

    Random Gun Pics...let’s see how random we can make it

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

    Random Gun Pics...let’s see how random we can make it

    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...

    Need help with schematic for single shot swivel barrel cap n ball derringer

    Cones are archaic but perfectly understandable, might be British english. Nipples will probably work better when purchasing though.

    Need help with schematic for single shot swivel barrel cap n ball derringer

    Great! You're really close now, could you post a pic of the bottom of the barrel? The schematic shows a spring loaded detent that your gun doesn't have, but there's some extra holes in your frame that could be for something similar. If the ball is snug as in could easily be pushed inside the...

    Need help with schematic for single shot swivel barrel cap n ball derringer

    Apparently, that's a swivel barrel vest pocket derringer. http://www.shootersreport.com/muzzleloading/Vest-Pocket-Derringer.html By the looks of it, the shiny thing directly under the trigger hump in your picture might be the trigger, only it's up side down Now, put it together as much as...

    Need help with schematic for single shot swivel barrel cap n ball derringer

    The trigger shouldn't be too hard to make, but i'd recommend that you get knowledgeable help for that, trigger geometry and safety are very much intertwined. Possibly the small part directly underneath the cones in the first picture might be the trigger. It has sort of the right shape.

    Need help with schematic for single shot swivel barrel cap n ball derringer

    So it is! I've never seen one like that before, but then I collect old guns. What caliber is it? I'd lay a wager that there's a rimfire version of this model or even a small caliber centerfire. The construction seems to be cartridge based.
