When we left off yesterday, I had a perfect streak going with my FR-F2, but the choice of a .357 revolver for a Brutality match was looking pretty questionable. Well, we’ve got our more stages today to round out the match. I’ll be shooting out to 550 yards, shooting weak-handed, charging up hills, and more. How will it work out? Let’s find out…

Book Review: Proud Promise, by Jean Huon
We’ve all heard the jokes about French guns – never fired and only dropped once. It’s a shame that they developed that type of stereotypical reputation here in the US, because the French were actually […]

Chatellerault M24/29: France’s New Wave of Post-WWI Small Arms
France fought the Great War with an array of weapons which were all sub-par in one way or another – the Lebel rifle was obsolescent by 1914, the Berthier was a cavalry carbine forced into […]

Good Morning Ian,a French question if I may, is there any confusion in French about the word for ammo storage in the hand grip of a semi auto pistol and the periodicals? The magazine/ magazine thing.
Gun : chargeur (ie: chargeur amovible, magasin (ie: magasin fixe)
Magazine : magazine
Now, the confusion can be done between the meanings of magasin (shop or gun magazine).
Hi ! Run out of forgotten hardware or what ? In how many countries we can do something of all these shows ?If something is not possible, you don’t bother. It’s simply out of question…Same for the once upon the time excavations in battlefields.
Japan next – spinner w/ 8mm Nambu…
You did not like the content of the video ?
Sounds like sour grapes coming from a subject and not a citizen. Change your station maybe.
Enjoyed the video. I have a Rem. model 14r in .30 rem. Would you be interested in doing a video on that model ? If so contact me .
Did that first spinner in the last stage shown flip over after two shots or did it only move 180° and then swing back? Or did the range officer make a misjudgement? Nonetheless the FR-F2 showed itself strong in this match.
With your permission.
The question is not for me, but I will answer.
We go here to meet and study the Forgotten Weapon.
And to watch as someone puffing and sweating as if from a hangover throws a weight…
With all due respect to Ian, it would be much more interesting, even just to listen to tales and legends, but about the Forgotten Weapon.
Sorry for the sharpness.
I like the vidéos of Ian Mc Collum…very interesting historical informations about firarms of the past !
