2015 Calendar Preorder!

October 31, 2014 Ian McCollum 26

Slow Motion: Star Model B Super

7.62 mm PSG LANO Sniper Rifle

October 22, 2014 Ian McCollum 12

Today’s post is more modern than most of what we usually cover, but it is about a rifle for which very little information is available. It is a Swedish report translated by Arne Bergkvist – […]

Another Great Video Channel – CapAndBall.eu

October 21, 2014 Ian McCollum 22
