  1. I carried a Bren 10 in Africa for years and I can assure you it's a fine piece of kit.

  2.  @JohnDoe-pv2iu  As someone says above the main reason was that it was written into Mr T's contract that no one would get shot.

  3. Thank you for both your service and your little lesson there sir. You lived thru two of history's most intense naval battles that's for sure andin a very exposed position.

  4. There is only one king of the PDWs, the Skorpian rules supreme and that's from someone who carried one In Africa for years. The idea of a PDW is to enable you to GTFO of there, killing power is not an issue, weight of fire and rounds on target are. Crossovers? Matt Carriker! That would combine great knowledge and an overgrown kid in one video and the result could well be magic. For me, the last great millsurp buys were the Sweedish Muusers and the Lgumgman semi-autos. 6.5x55 is a great cartridge and both of the above are great weapons.

  5. Most folks yes but have you seen AK Guy do a speed mag swap? Wow . . .

  7. Chap up above says his granddad used one in '44 and told him it was "a very good weapon".

  8. methinks that's why the last owner had two charging handles.

  9. Ya , those are for horses, not people.

  10. Ignore the haters mate. Not worth getting irate over them.

  11.  @melekhthechanger88  And time fuses, lots of time fuses.

  12. I don't get your question. The plunger is centre loaded, yo pull back to fire the spotter and push to fire the 106, and the plunger returns to the centre after firing either.

  13.  @christurnblom4825  Mate a water or foam extinguisher has a schrader valve, no need to mod anything.

  14. No reason why not and it wouldn't need to be that much bigger although it would need to be a bit longer.

  16. Pedersoli make repro ones already in a range of calibres.

  17. Marvin De Bot 1 second ago I'd say so. three blocks, a couple of men and say 6 rounds a minute shouldn't be difficult? The system had been used in small bore artillery for several hundred years before this, cannon with a bore of an inch and a half to two inches, mainly German and Austrian. Of course in those the ball was also loaded into the removable breech block.

  18. I know, that barrel is beautiful, the depth of the blueing is exceptional.

  19.  @junzhiyu7281  What are you talking about "no one wants you there"? Charles' family is Chinese.

  20. @lyle You do realise that a Nazi is the very antithesis of a Commie, yes? Your statement is nonsensical.

  21. It most certainly sold last time it was up. There is a reason it is back on sale, it has nothing to do with the firearm or the auction house.

  22. Mate, no one in OZ refers to the L1A1 as an FAL, it's the SLR, sometimes pronounced: "slar". I would have thought you were aware of that.

  23. @Random Guy That's not a gun problem, that's a major mental health problem.

  24. Oh I'd dearly like one of those! I shudder to think of the cost, however.

  26. What a beautifully engineered piece!

  27. Ooookaaay . . . Has someone been playing with Doc's DeLorean? With a total of 392 views this obviously didn't come out on Oct 27, did it? <insert Twilight Zone music here>

  29. So, Len hasn't talked Aimpoint out of it yet? 😆 OMG, they allowed you to fire it!

  30.  @NRJenzenJones  yes it's expensive but not as expensive as yours, it near doubled the price of the book on Pistols of the Warlords. Your books are not cheap, that's not your fault as boutique publishing is always expensive but add the shipping and it becomes out of reach for a lot of people.

  31.  @chemistryofquestionablequa6252  Our Messiah said they do so it must be true. "Never had an issue in 20 years so they just hand hold the revolvers to proof". Those things are so overbuilt and there is so much QC (I believe they xray the forged parts for example) that there is no real danger.

  32. Guys, you are being trolled, isn't that obvious? Stop feeding the troll.

  33. If the owner blesses us by bestowing permission upon Gun Jesus then yes it will.

  34. It's a miracle of The Gun Jesus! He has beat the dreaded FB algorithm. All praise to Him!

  35.  @Sophistry0001  It's not a one-off prototype, you can buy one now for $3375

  36. Any real Webley calibre should begin with a "4" after the decimal point. Just sayin' . . .

  38. You get used to the safety pretty quickly and as you said it becomes second nature. They can also be improved a bit with some file work and also tend to be a bit easier right-handed for some reason.

  41. Its OK, I get that you got it even if many somehow did not.

  42. LOL, no way. FPG would never sell a one off.

  44.  @jacobmccandles1767  Mine ran an attached searchlight battery in Korea, 4 x 72" lights serving a battery of 8 Bofors. AS has been said, worked just as good against hordes of commies as the almost non existent airpower.

  45. @Drakilicious It would make an excellent movie instead of endless remakes of already good films.

  46. It was issued along with around 80 mags and the reloading tool; the idea being you had no need of reloading during a firefight.

  47. Now there is a one-off that Fireplace Guy probably won't be interested in. Or, maybe he will, who knows?

  48. @B A 75, so? Is there a rule that says you can't be 75 and on YT, grow up and pull ya head in.

  49. Damnit! I can get their gin (ie: diesel oil) and clear spirit but not the rye here in OZ, not happy!

  50. Well yes, our lord Gun Jesus is immune to such simple trickery.
