Book Review: Mauser Bolt Rifles by Olsen

January 30, 2014 Ian McCollum 8

Ludwig Olsen’s Mauser Bolt Rifles is one of the foundational reference books on the Mauser rifle, and deserves a place in the library of any bolt action rifle enthusiast. Olsen studies the rifle from its […]

Montigny Mitrailleuse Photos

January 29, 2014 Ian McCollum 42

The Mitrailleuse was one of the first pseudo-machine guns – the first ones were developed prior to the Gattling, but they continued to be purchased by military forces through the 1870s. There were several versions, […]

January 28, 2014 Ian McCollum 0

January 27, 2014 Ian McCollum 40

Book Review: The Siamese Mauser (Banzai Special Project #1)

January 23, 2014 Ian McCollum 16

The Banzai group of Japanese weapon collectors has been around for a long time – they began publishing their newsletter in 1982 (actually, that makes the newsletter older than I am, to some peoples’ chagrin). […]

January 20, 2014 Ian McCollum 53

For this month’s 2-Gun Action Challenge Match, we had a loaner .308 FG-42 from SMG Guns, which I handed off to my friend Karl to shoot. I went up against him with an M1 Garand, […]
