Considering the use of swedish m96 in combat: -Swedish brigade size volunteer unit took part in our Winter War for a few weeks. They were mainly armed with m96. -In what we here call "Continuation War", that is 1941-44, FDF had circa 77000 m96 rifles in stock. Though these were mainly issued...

No argument there. That is, however, not politically feasible here.

M63, bought 1991. Belongs to my father now, but I'll inherit it back eventually. :rolleyes:

Thank you for your comment Mykeal. Military history is allways interesting. As I understand, cavalry charges were supposed to be over before any reloading was necessary, theory tested even as late as at the Little Big Horn... Then again, far out in the west, US cavalry often had to operate alone...

:) Well, I've shot my friend's Remington a bit. It's all right. And in a perfect world I would get one or two of those, too. Maybe someday I will. But Colt revolvers have that something that just seems right to me. I really like that open top style. And Navy models simply fit and handle...

All right, italians could not manufacture my gun in time. The 6 months time limit on my gun permit was about to expire, so I opted to get an 1851 Navy instead, as these could be supplied. Nevermind, '51 is a beautiful revolver too. Overall quality is just fine. Trigger is very light. I have...

Years ago I shot several types of ammo through a chrono with a S&W m63, 4" barrel. I do have the specs somewhere, but cannot fathom where.. Nevertheless, I remember both CCI Stinger and Winchester Xpediter both clocking a bit over 370 m/s, or ~1200+ fps, Stingers being just a little faster...

1st try at posting pics.. But here she is, together with a m65 and my old m15, that now belongs to a friend. First group I fired is in the first pic, second group in 2nd pic, after adjusting sights, 25m, strong hand only. My own old reloads, 160 grs hard cast bullet at around 240m/s. Sorry...

Yep, I am aware the model 16 is desirable, especially so in the US. These days, they are relatively rare here also, but they were not that uncommon in the 60's and 70's. ISU/UIT -shooters liked to use them in the center fire competitions. Unfortunately, this often shows in condition of a...

Thank you. I have owned an m15 before, as well as models 14, 16, 17 and 63. They were all very good, except the 16 had seen heavy use (and some abuse, as the timing was off) as a competition gun. I do like Smith & Wessons. :)

Hi all, after a period of no american revolvers in the house, I was in a process of getting me a .357 mag, but found a .38 spl instead. This is simply too good a gun to let go, and the price is right, so I believe I am buying this one; -Smith & Wesson mod. 15-3, 4" slim barrel, in excellent...

77/22 "all weather" -model.

I shot ~20K through my cast Mk III before selling the pistol. At around 12K the extractor broke, but that was all, and easily replaced. A friend had put over 80K rounds through an earlier model forged Hi-Power last I checked. And this was our military load, which is about +P+. Around 50K the...

1944 Tula here, arsenal re-work so no collector value. Part of finnish history though, which was my main reason for buying it (not that it was ever popular as a sidearm here :)). Great news if and when Wolff ammo becomes available. Hope we get some of that in here also.

1/1000 has been my idea also, for a gun that may be used to anything a bit more serious. But depending on the gun type, one probably also has to consider the overall round count. Some guns can only take so many rounds before they are ready for the trash bin, or a serious rebuilding is in order...

I quess I could try something to eliminate the wobble, Jeremy. But in reality it is so small it does not bother me yet. My AR15 tele-stock (Colt) wobbles about the same and I don't mind that either. I find the gun prefers quality HV-ammo reliability-wise, allthough std-velocity works if the...

The fake suppressor can be unscrewed. And it does not screw into barrel, but into front sight base. 985 rounds through my gun now, and only a couple of failures to feed from my 5 magazines. A few more failures to ignite primers though, depending on ammo. Amount of misfires is not alarming...

Correct. Assault rifle in finnish is "rynnäkkökivääri".

Daemon, the mags are open on the sides, yes. But they can be taken apart for cleaning easily enough. Taliv, I would describe the trigger pull as.. authentic... :) Allthough it's been a few years since I fired an MP5, the trigger (according to memory) feels similar on the GSG5. You don't...

Well written article. I might take exception about the paragraph considering the usefulness of pistols though. There has allways been, and I believe allways will be, circumstances where the pistol excels and nothing else is quite so good. (Of course, AP-capability with current ammo is an...
