    Prefit match barrels with test target?

    Are there any makers of prefit matchbarrels in the US that test accuracy before shipping and include test target in the shipment? Should be no problem for barrels in 308 and 6.5CM. This practice is quite common in Europe. This is a test target that came with a Sauer SSG3000 6.5x55 match barrel...

    Tariffs and ammo prices?

    How will the new tariffs affect ammo prices? The two largest exporters of lead to the US are Canada (25% tariff) and China (10% tariff). I bet the market for brass is quite similar. I shoot Sierra and Nosler bullets in Europe so if there will be imposed tariffs between the US and EU I bet I...

    Sverre Bergh, one of the greatest US WW2 war heroes you’ve never heard of.

    As "Masters Of The Air" has been released I think there is a related, unknown, story to be told of one of the unsung heroes of WW2. During WW2 he was a Norwegian citizen. After WW2 he became an US businessman and citizen. His story is incredible: Sverre Bergh, a 20 year old Norwegian student...

    Norway missed out on the best sniper rifle in WW2

    In 1938 the Norwegian Army understood that the Krag was not the action for a military sniper rifle. Kongsberg Arms Factory bought 25 M96 Mauser actions from Sweden to build prototypes. The M38 sniper prototype configuration is mind boggeling. For the scoped rifle Kongsberg used an action...

    MG42 in action in Ukraine

    A mindboggeling picture. Just think what MG42s did against massed Soviet attacks app 80 years ago in the same battlegrounds. There are still app 1 mill soldiers unaccounted for in Ukraine from WW2.

    Barrels with choke to increase barrel life and reduced need to clean in long shooting sessions

    Some European barrels are made with choke towards the muzzle. Choke prevents increased gas blow by as the bullet passes through the barrel getting more and more worn. Reduced gas blow by towards the muzzle reduce barrel wear due to the "blow torch effect". This is scientifically proved by GIAT...
