416R (416 stainless is very far from the same as 416R, so remember the R) stainless as a material for rifle barrels has quite a few undesirable properties. However, heavy mach barrels have been shown to be significantly more resistant to heat-accelerated wear and surface corrosion in front of...

It seems like there is a big difference between the English-speaking part of the world and the rest, in terms of calibers. The English-speaking countries, with the USA in the lead, go for muzzle velocity. Here in central Europe we go for heavy slow bullets. It probably also has something to do...

They come out of the same factory, and even off the same line.

Personally, I am a big fan of RS gunpowders, and use it a lot. When it comes to RS 60, I have never experienced problems at high temperatures. On the other hand, RS 62 (It's a completely different type of gunpowder than RS60) can be a bit "aggressive" at high temperatures. However, they have...

Thanks for the advice. This morning I found out how to turn down the power, and it is now down to 230 m/s, and can fire more shots on one pumping. I completely agree, I've taken the scope off again. If he ever wants to offer some pest control to the local farmers, he can always put it back on...

The younger of my 2 boys has become quite fond of shooting, so he goes to the shooting club as much as he can. He is only 9 years old, and at 9 years old it is not always easy to afford many 22LR cartridges. So I decided that he could get an air rifle to practice with here at home, it is a lot...

Has neither feathers nor fur, but is suitable for a family dinner. Both the children and the wife love fried fish. And these the children caught themselves yesterday.

FKF Forsvarets Krigsmateriel Forvaltning. It's one of our old Danish rifles, made in Italy. When I was a conscription soldier in the 80s, we still had many boxes of them that had never been opened standing at the mobilization depots. They had come directly from the factory to these depots...

Those were the times, the young people today are surprised when they see what we could do with manual machines and a file. Actually working, among other things, on a Dräger project right now. Dräger has several huge orders for the German military's rearmament, we are one of the companies they...

Trained as a toolmaker many years ago. Now: Works with the composition of metal alloys and precision forming of sheet metal in various metal alloys. Mostly for things that are either heavily pressurized or fly.

That's sad. Must be especially difficult to get rifles into the UK. My friend sold a rifle to Norway 3 years ago, and since Norway is not a member of the EU it cost extra transport and exportfee, totaling 1200DKR = £140. The price for these rifles is typically 1000 DKr = £115 here in Denmark...

I assume you mean one like this one. Sorry to say, but its in Denmark and not 303, but 300 Savage. https://www.lauritz.com/da/auctions/skydevaaben/309/savage-boejlespaender-jagtriffel-kal-300/6590884 If you really want it I think you can make an agreement with this company, maybe call them...

I Googled Mustang and found it. I must admit that I have never seen one on the roads here. With the smallest battery pack it is stated to have a range of up to 470 kilometers. The range is not stated in EuroNorm, so I don't know how much you can count on the stated range. Its battery is also...

Grid has also been and still is partly a problem here. But in connection with the liberation from fossil fuels, many kilometers of district heating pipes have been dug down, where additional electrical cables have been laid at the same time. I don't know about an electric mustang, it sounds...

People here don't switch based on emissions. Back in the 2010s, people thought it was because of emissions, back then electric cars were also primitive, but since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there is no longer any secret that we aim to free ourselves from dependence on fossil fuels...
