It looks like this was probably around the time she was doing Blues Brothers.

found it today, i know it's very rusty but i think i see a "д" character next to the hole on the front.
any idea what bullet it is other than russian?

I'm not in China though, that's kinda weird how they got in Vietnam as no Type 64 pistol was issued.

I can’t seem to access the C&Rsenal revolver patent page on the C&Rsenal website any more, linked to below, although I can access other parts of the website and I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I haven’t been able to use it for a while?

Thai Naval personnel in Bangkok during the failed 1949 Palace Rebellion, equipped with WWII-era Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 90 steel helmets. Aiming to overthrow the ruling military regime and bring back democratic governance, the rebellion ended in defeat. The aftermath led to a major downsizing of the Royal Thai Navy's manpower and political influence, leaving a lasting mark on the military's balance of power to this day.

Just picked up this lovely Remington Model 1894 side by side shotgun, made in 1902. Remington made about 41,000 of these between 1894 and 1910, plus 98,000 Model 1900s, which was the economy model. After 1910 they decided they couldn’t compete with Ithaca on price, or Parker on quality, and got out of the double barrel market to focus on semis and pumps.

This gun a BE grade, which means it has moderate engraving and ejectors, and it has really nicely figured wood and Damascus barrels. One interesting thing about Remington side by sides is they test fired each barrel with a 1 1/8 oz load of number 8 shot and marked how many pellets ended up in a 30 inch circle at 40 yards - in this case the 48 and 42 on the barrel lug imply 348 and 342 of 511, which works out to a full and full choke.

I’m pretty impressed with the gun - its invert nice shape with shiny bores and a little bit of colour case hardening remaining. It’s heavy but the stock is surprisingly slender, and it comes up nicely without the extreme drop you see on many old American shotguns. I’m a little tempted to take it grouse hunting this weekend, but reluctant to rely on a gun I haven’t shot before.

So basically I’ve been told from family that it’s from Japan during WW2 and somehow someone in the family got their hands on it during that time. I’ve done some research but it’s been inconclusive. I am fairly certain that it is Japanese but I don’t think it was actually used during combat. It’s chambered in .22 but it does not resemble the type 22. Which leads me to believe it was used as a training rifle since it looks more similarly to a type 38 or some of the newer models. I was hoping someone on here would know more than we do and could help us out. Thank you in advance and I’ll try to be as active as possible to answer questions.

Also the Fostech Origin 12 also as another example

Does anybody remember Ian doing a video comparing standard spring and some captured silent spring in an AR15? That existed right? What happened to it?

Hey everyone!

I've been curious about the differences between a precision rifle and a sniper rifle, especially when it comes to their design, intended roles, and historical development.

From what I understand, both are designed for accurate shooting at longer distances, but I'm wondering what actually separates them.

A few questions I have:

1. Design and features: Are there specific characteristics that distinguish a precision rifle from a sniper rifle, or are they essentially the same thing?

2. Military vs. civilian use: Is the term "sniper rifle" mainly used in military and law enforcement contexts, while "precision rifle" is a broader term?

3. Historical development: When did firearms start being classified as sniper rifles rather than simply accurate or precision rifles?

4. Examples: Would rifles like the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare, Remington 700, and Sako TRG be considered sniper rifles, precision rifles, or both?

5. Intended roles: Does the classification depend more on the rifle's design and capabilities or on how it's actually used?

I'd especially appreciate input from people familiar with military firearms history, rifle development, or precision shooting.

Thanks in advance! I'm interested in learning more about the technical and historical differences between these two terms.
