Shooting a .276 Pedersen

June 30, 2015 Ian McCollum 58

Thanks to Alex C. at TheFirearmBlog, I recently had an opportunity to do some shooting with a .276 caliber Vickers-Pedersen model PB rifle. This was one of the very first rifles Vickers built when they […]

Shooting and Disassembling A.I. AR-10 rifles (Video)

June 29, 2015 Ian McCollum 26

I had a gun-shop-owning friend offer me a chance to do a video on a Portuguese contract AR-10 made by Artillerie Inrichtingen in the Netherlands a little while back. Unfortunately, it had just sold, and […]

June 24, 2015 Ian McCollum 30

Ethan Allen was a very prolific gun manufacturer in the US, being involved with a series of different companies. This particular rifle of his appealed to me because it is an excellent example of how […]

Bolt Action Rifles

Japanese Type 30 “Hook Safety” Arisaka at RIA

June 23, 2015 Ian McCollum 19

Most people are familiar with the Type 38 Arisaka, which was one of the two very distinctive Japanese rifles of World War II (along with the Type 99). The Type 38 was an outstanding rifle […]

Revolver

Moore Teatfire Revolver at RIA

June 22, 2015 Ian McCollum 15

The Moore patent “teatfire” revolver was one of the more (no pun intended) successful workarounds to the Rollin White patent. Designed by Daniel Moore and David Williamson, the gun was a 6-shot .32 caliber pocket […]

Bolt Action Rifles

June 21, 2015 Ian McCollum 10

The Palmer carbine was the first bolt action firearm adopted by the US military – it was a single shot rimfire carbine patented in 1863 and sold to the US cavalry in 1865. The guns […]
