1861James

Range day again with a Finnish Mosin Nagant m28 infantry rifle. Ammo was basic silver tip Bulgarian 7.62x54r

Gun show pick up this weekend and I couldn’t be happier. FN49 in 7mm and shoots as well as it looks

1874 French Gras rifle m80 conversion in a carbine. First shot with 11m ammo, black powder charged 70g 2f

My first attempt at 5 “rapid fire” shots with my Nepalese made p53 using Paper Cartridges .550 cartridges. I’m gonna need some practice to get below 2 minutes. As is I’m well into 3 minutes

Shooting the m1889 with a new batch of ammo using 36.5g IMR 3031 with 150g round nose bullets @200 yards

Another 5 for 5 with the Eddystone in 30.06 at 150 yards with a slightly smaller steel target. This old 1917 was in really rough shape but restored nicely

An old restored 1896 Springfield Krag infantry rifle in 30-40. Video is from our local range, 5 shots at steel 200 yards away.

Test firing my Vetterli rifle after a bolt conversion changing it from rim fire to center fire. Thanks to Norm Sutton on the conversion, quality work.

This is the first shot with my latest gunshow pick up, a 71/84 Mauser using 300 win brass black powder cartridge

5 for 5 at 200 yds with a restored p17 Eddystone in 30.06, turned out to be a nice shooter

5 out of 5 rounds at steel 200 yards with a French Mas mle36 using iron sights and ppu ammo

This is the first shot with my latest gunshow pick up, a 71/84 Mauser using 300 win brass black powder cartridge

7.5 French surplus ammo purchased at a local gun show and wasn’t such a wise purchase. What isn’t shootable will be salvaged to projectiles. Rifle is a Mas mle36 post war.
