    Never heard of these before although I guess some on here will have done.

    Old news, I saw videos of Elmer Fudd using one of those years ago.

    Ian McCollums video on the forgotten weapons channel expands greatly into why these never made it into serialised production

    That rifle looks like it needs feed a little blue pill and taken somewhere warmer

    Ah yes my namesake…

    Had a shotgun that had an unfortunate encounter with a tractor, certainly wasn’t a full moon staring down the barrel. Swinging left to right gave a nice lead…

    Chinese SKSs tend to have bends, only last few inches need to be straight. 303 Enfield are often bent, no prob so long as its up and down not sideways..info courtesy of my gun Smith...fwiw
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...
