What Went Wrong?
For Your Consideration...
In this video I explore a few options to address some of the issues I am experiencing with my hunting and general purpose rifles. The solution isn't always obvious.
Originally I had a completely different direction that I wanted to take this video before I started lobbing rounds downrange. Much of the footage in this video presentation is me with a confused expression as I play mental gymnastics with the issues I'm confronted with. How do you approach issues with your rifles?
Scientific inquiry includes creating a hypothesis through inductive reasoning, testing it through experiments and adjusting or discarding the hypothesis based on the results.

Personal Multi-year Wildfire Mitigation Plan
It might just be common sense but here are a few basic ideas to consider that might help reduce the fire hazard on your property.
I recently had to invest more time into my fire mitigation plan because of an active human caused wildfire that initiated just 2500 meters away. This video was filmed July 1st 2024 and so this was slightly over two weeks ago. There are so many things you can do to lower the risk of wildfire but I fully admit that it is immensely demanding on a person to assume this responsibility (both physical and spiritual).
Always comply with good venting rules, wildfire and smoke control regulations. Equally important is to maintain good relations with your neighbors. Communicate with them what you're doing and when you plan on doing it. They might even offer too help resource you!

FIVE SHOTS NO WORDS - CNo4Mk1* LONG BRANCH #647
A retired Canadian Ranger with his gifted Lee Enfield (Thanks to Queen Elizabeth II). Rifle 647 has three inches of mild throat erosion but otherwise has a sharp and shiny bore. 647 is centre-bedded, free floated, has a reasonable crown and seemed to perform very well on 12/59 targets / 4' frames out to 500m / prone unsupported.
This day's target was an eight inch plate at 50m (all hits). The trigger breaks like glass, served with a Regimental army shooting team and then retired as my issued Canadian Ranger Rifle in 2019. I love this rifle. We have walked many miles and hit a lot of V-Bulls together. This rifle was named after a female officer of the Klingon Empire (House of Duras) named 'Lursa'.

YUGOSLAV HAMMER
This was never intended to be a conclusive representation of precision and accuracy for either rifle. Just a simple test in austere conditions. The uneven terrain, blackflies, heat, low grade ammo and my over-all performance should not be confused with either rifle's ability to shoot.
I am not making any general statements regarding accuracy however its is an interesting comparison based on limited information.
History is written through the filter of its authors. In your opinion if you hear un-factual information in this video please identify the time index, the subject and your information source(s).
I hope most of you find the video interesting and hope you are all doing well.
Warm regards

91/30 PU Sniper - 565m Walk Back
In this video Tudenom shoots the Mosin Nagant PU Sniper for the first time.
Both of us perform a walk back from 300 to 565 metres and along the way we are talking to one another. We’re engaged in a process of elimination and learning as we go. The sound of steel starts to get hard to hear at 565m and although the steel gong is only 10” across it is also 2” thick (and heavy). That 147gr bullet has lost a lot of energy by the time it hits that gong and it doesn’t move very much even after a successful strike.
Tudenom (the shooter) has his own YouTube Channel -Consider subscribing

ENFIELD ENFORCER
Of the 767 Enfield Enforcers that were manufactured only about 380 survive today. Those rifles that were not surplused were destroyed. That makes the Enfield Enforcer one of the most collectible and rare enfields in existence today.

THE POOR MAN'S RIFLE
For many people this is considered a poor man's rifle. I've been looked down at because I like them. I think nicely sporterized enfields are just common sense. This Parker Hale is a Heinze 51 parts gun was built to shoot in the mud and the bore and headspace is good - what's not to like?

Norweigan K98k 30-06
Not a serious video - just some plinking fun between 100 and 300 metres. Lessons learned:
1. Use high quality paint on your steel gongs and bring a can of paint with you when you go shooting;
2. Spend the time needed at the range shooting paper to evaluate 'point of aim' / 'point of impact' and ammo selection before shooting at steel on an austere range;
3. Use a spotter.... I don't have many shooting friends up here so there isn't much interest in this type of activity. Not to mention most people don't like snow and rain..... The pussification of Canada.
4. The snow was melting - corn snow - but still deep. There are safety concerns with lifting heavy objects and falling through the snow into air pockets / melt water. It's best to do this with the assistance of a friend. My twisted back bears witness to this.
Enjoy the video :)

Remington's American Wilderness Rifle
Shooting rifles in the middle of a blackfly hatch is a really good way to test your level of focus and concentration. In addition it just so happens that it's like me to shoot really well in the rain (no joke).
The price of factory ammunition results in making videos like this extremely expensive to make. If videos like this have value to you please consider supporting my channel on Patreon or buying some RC Swag.

MARLIN 1895 FULL HOUSE 45/70 LOADS
Is the ammunition you're using appropriate for the rifle's philosophy of use?
This video is dedicated to Jet Hunter. He doesn't sell cast bullets anymore but he was definitely one of the greats! Fantastic quality and PS he used Dragon bullet lube red. This lube is intended for high velocity and high pressure applications. I have never had lead fouling issues running his bullets.
Can you receive high recoil, run the rifle fast and deliver well aimed shots?
WHEN SECONDS COUNT
PS The Siamese Mauser conversions rebuilt in 45/70 should not be ignored and are strong enough for hot loads. I wouldn't run this load in a re-barreled No4 Lee Enfield action but I'm sure someone might challenge me on that.

GUN CLUBS AND CANADIAN FREEDOMS
Three years after I made this video the Liberal Party of Canada announced sweeping gun bans through an Order in Council. Gun Clubs across Canada proved me wrong and began to raise money for a legal defense against the Liberal / Bloc and NDP attack on basic Canadian freedoms (such as property rights). If they didn't organize our Rod & Gun Clubs were going to close due to loss of revenue. It still remains to be seen today if they will survive.

Argentinian Mules of 14th Army - Burma Nov 1944
For educational purposes only - Zero Revenue
Footage Source: British Pathe
Dedicated to RSM R H Kitson / Advanced Divisional Signals - 26th Indian Division / 14th Army
Argentinian Mules of 14th Army
The Andes Mountains of Argentina are the longest continental mountain ranges in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. They are immense.
The Argentinians also have a lot of mules used regularly in mountainous terrain.
VIDEO / RUMBLE The Argentinian Mules of the 14th Army - Advance into Burma - November 1944 https://rumble.com/vv4jbx-14th-armys-advance-into-burma-november-1944.html
The 14th Army used Argentinian Mules with paneers during the advance into Burma. The Mules had been de-voiced to keep the pack train as quiet as possible. This was a humane surgical procedure performed by a veterinarian that removed the mule's voice box. The animals can otherwise me quite loud and that would draw them to the attention of Imperial Japanese Soldiers.
Sgt Major Kitson was ROYAL SIGNALS attached to the 26th Indian Division / 14th Army. He recounted a story where-in a Japanese Zero took a few strafing runs of their column. The men jumped for cover but the mules just stood there. No men were hit but several mules died. One of them was terribly injured but was still eating grass on the side of the trail. They quickly dispatched the poor animal and they were all very upset. This was war and everyone suffered both men and mules alike. Between the monsoons, mudslides, mountainous terrain, snakes, fungus and enemy soldiers the jungle was literally eating them alive. Most of them suffered greatly from dysentery, malaria and fungal infections.
The men became very attached to their mules. Every man stood to for mule grooming every day and it didn't matter if they were the Commanding Officer or the Private. The mules received more care and attention than the men did. They all had names and they were part of the team. When ever they lost a mule the men grieved.

The Phantom of Plzeň Lobzy
It was many moons ago but here is a little story that you might find interesting. In this video I discuss the CZ75 SP01 Phantom and a shooting competition in Plzeň Lobzy, Czech Republic; the birthplace of Pilsner beer. This is not so much a gun video as it is a gun story. I’d also like to recognize Warrant Officer 2nd Class Vratislav Louda for the inspiration to make this video.

No4 Enfield Bedding Styles
The people who built these rifles were 'actually' brilliant and I mean that genuinely. There are many styles and methods from the traditional three point contact bedding system, centre bedding with partial free float and specific L39 / RSAF Enforcer methods to study, test and measure. I wish I had more time and had included a few extra details.
LURSA the CNo4Mk1* The bedding may not look very nice and I would agree with you. I'm a shooter not a builder. Having said that I have effectively replicated the match bedding philosophy used by Canadian Army Regimental Rifle Teams. It effectively (but crudely) follows the DCRA competition bedding convention of the day and I ranked 4th place in CANADA with this rifle in my military classification (as a tyro). Again this is how the rifle was configured and issued to me when I was active service (now ret.). That makes me a super fortunate and humbled person because this rifle has been my teacher for many years now and we're both getting pretty long in the tooth.
