    Are floating firing pins safe?

    Had a Franchi 48AL, chambered a round let the bolt go forward under its own steam and it fired, was pointing down range of course. Took bolt apart and the firing pin retaining spring was broken allowing the firing pin to free float. Tried it later with empty primed hulls and it lightly...

    Despite coming from the United Kingdom, the land that boast of having probably the strictest Gun Laws in the World. A land that confiscated all legally held self loading centrefire Rifles and all handguns except Black Powder ones. You can still own quite a number of Guns. (Getting to know...

    Tumbling live ammo (powder pics)

    Remember reading of an incident where the Tumbler motor overheated and went on fire, cooking the rounds and doing a bit of damage to surrounding area. Very unlikely, but possible I suppose. I always tumble loaded rifle rounds, but in an outside hut, and use a timer to start and finish when...

    SMLE rapid fire

    The Smelly is quite fast. Last time I tried it in competition I got off 14 aimed rounds in one minute, all of them hitting a fig 11 target at 200 yards.
