I try to shoot "The Helsby Rifle" every year of the Cabin Fever Challenge. The M1 Garand is a rifle that I have adored since I was a kid but have never mastered. The M1 Garand made a GIANT impression on me when Roy Scheider wielded one in the 1975 movie JAWS. I haven't been feeling great lately but the fresh air and sunshine did me good.

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.

I usually find myself hunting in dense woods and long range shots are the exception rather than the rule. I feel pretty confident with this rifle out to 250 metres +/- without too much fuss. Maybe this rifle is worth reloading for? I am curious to know how well that 123gr PPU bullet will hold together on a deer at close to medium range. The rifle is super lightweight, easy to point and I'm not getting any younger. Speaking of which this would be a good first hunting rifle for a youth. The recoil is tame and the rifle can take a bit of punishment without feeling too bad about it. For your consideration here are some shooting drills that I've put the rifle through and in most cases it was very poor quality ammunition. Both examples were shot at 100 metres. Riflechair.com

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.

Riflechair's 2023 Cabin Fever Challenge submission for Division 3 (manual repeating) 16 X 5 ---------- X 100 = 81.5 98.2 sec Riflechair.com

I haven't submitted this 2023 Cabin Fever Challenge submission yet but you might enjoy looking at a beautiful Italian M1 Garand getting some range time in winter conditions. Thankfully the weather had warmed from -20 to about -15 degrees celcius and there was very little wind. The snow beneath my feet had turned to corn and it was difficult to ground myself. I am very fortunate to possess the Helsby Rifle. Maybe it's not too late to turn the tide here in Canada? Sport shooters and hunters are not the problem. The issue is gangs and criminal networks. Bill C21 needs to be dissolved in it's entirety. Nothing less is humane (let alone sane). 7 hits X 5 ------------------- X 100 = Score 36.1 97 seconds To find more information on the Cabin Fever Challenge please visit Riflechair.com Maple Leaf Up https://rumble.com/v2clcgc-cfc2023-div1-m1-garand-riflechair.html

Yesterday I filmed this video on my cell phone in between jobs while prepping the homestead for winter. I wasn't expecting to make the video and all of this was spontaneous but I've been thinking about the ZKK for a long time now and so the footage is somewhat organized. We made the weekend a working holiday but as today is Thanksgiving I offer you my warmest wishes and hopes for the future. If you ever find yourself in a situation where a ZKK crosses your path then I hope this video helps you to make an informed decision. Between 1964 and 1966 the Czech government migrated the production of long guns from Zbrojovka BRNO to Ceska Zbrojovka Uhersky Brod (CZUB). There are no CZUB marks on this rifle and so this may be one of the very last smoke poles to come out of the original Zbrojovka BRNO factory. This particular rifle was manufactured in 1966 and is one of the very first ZKK-600 rifles to come off the assembly line. Rifle quality may vary by year. After the Soviets invaded Czechslovakia in 1968 it is my understanding that manufacture quality (especially finishing) of ZKK rifles were negatively impacted. If Ukraine has taught us anything its that the Soviets haven't changed and they are still running Russia. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frank De Haas wrote in his book "Bolt Action Rifles" expanded 3rd edition on page 175 states the following when discussing the Brno ZKK action: " The action is of all steel construction. The one piece receiver is a forging, very nicely machined on every surface. The 602 is probably the only forged magnum-length Mauser action made anywhere in the world today (at the time of writing), something that ought to make custom rifle builders sit up and take notice." Later on page 179 when discussing the Metal Finish on the ZKK receiver he states:- "The Brno ZKK receiver has an unusual finish. It seems to have been heavily sand blasted. The surface has a matte finish that is greyish in color, contrasting with the well-polished blued barrel and the bright bolt and extractor: the effect is quite pleasing." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At some point the manufacturing facility in Brno was renamed to Zbrojovka BRNO (BRNO Arms). The manufacturing facility in Uhersky Brod (CZUB) became a member of the Zbrojovka Brno Narodni Podnik in 1965. Firearms produced at Uhersky Brod were also marked "Brno". I think it's important to note that while these were still physically different manufacturing facilities, both were a part of the same National Enterprise. Throughout the Cold War CZUB manufactured a wide variety of sporting arms but they principally manufactured the ZKK (rifle), ZKM (rimfire), ZKP (pistol) and ZKR (revolver) series. CZUB also produced the VZ58 for the military. If you enjoy videos like this please consider supporting me through Patreon or PayPal.

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.

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. Riflechair.com

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.

An early view into BREDA Garand #274 henceforth known as 'THE HELSBY RIFLE'. 'THR' will now be a regular cast member on the Riflechair.com Channel. In this episode we take on the 2021 Cabin Fever Challenge (closes March 31st 2021) https://www.facebook.com/cabinfeverchallenge If you're in Canada and you're interested in your own M1 Garand build contact Richard and he will set you up. This guy is brilliant. The biggest problem with buying a used M1 Garand is that you don't really know what you’re going to get. The headspace might be bad, there may be dangerous pitting under the wood (Which is quite common) or the springs might be completely work out. Even with good headspace, there’s the question of Muzzle and throat erosion. How bad is it? Garands used ammo that was corrosive, and there are a lot of barrels out there that are worn excessively. Heslby tries to use USGI barrels when he can and he won't use anything worse than Throat or Muzzle Erosion reading of 2. There are so many that are 6 and 7. Like most surplus firearms Garands tend to get neglected and abused. It is still fairly common to find ¼” of cosmoline under the wood and a completely worn out barrel. Some are so badly pitted they are dangerous to shoot. IF you buy used I recommend you find someone who can look it over and recondition it so these nasty little surprises don’t raise their ugly head after you get it home. With new builds like this (or a reconditioned rifle) you know exactly what you’re getting. Helsby sells completely rebuilt Garands with Italian receivers and this is far cheaper than you can get a USGI Garand for in rough shape. Mainly because of the price of receivers. 650-850 US for a USGI receiver, vs 50-100 CDN for an Italian receiver. In the case of those built by Richard Helsby they have been completely gone through and gauged, and refinished before they are offered for sale. As far as performance, the Italian guns are far better built. Something to Ponder.

There are some master elite marksmen out there and it is no mistake why they own that reputation. I am proficient enough to recognize how much personal investment they have dedicated to this craft. What I discuss in this video is a breakdown the dataset procured through the management of seven years of Cabin Fever Challenge Competitions. How do participants know where their marksmanship measures within any specific population? This video attempts to identify some key considerations within the confines of a small but international competitive shooter population. I'm please to say that the Cabin Fever Challenge is doing what it was designed to do. CFC was created to inspire people to develop and improve their marksmanship and this has now been proven mission successful time and time again over the last seven years. The competition is now international with competitors from USA, SWEDEN, FINLAND & CANADA. Thank you for watching.

A good quality leather rifle sling is frequently left low on the list of priorities and that is too bad. The Pattern 1907 style of sling has been successfully used by almost every competitive shooter, is very popular with hunters and comes highly recommended to new shooters as well. In this video we explore a few different slings and evaluate their characteristics. I am particularly fond of Ron Brown custom 1907 slings which have been manufactured in the USA for almost 20 years. They use fine leather from Hermann Oak and use military spec hardware. https://www.servicerifleslings.com/ If you would like to see more content like this please consider donating by visiting Riflechair's Patreon site at https://www.patreon.com/Riflechair Maple Leaf Up Riflechair.com Parler: https://parler.com/profile/Riflechair/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Riflechair Twitter: https://twitter.com/Riflechair Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riflechair/ Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/riflechair/

Some rifles make an impact and this new build qualifies. What we have here is as close as possible to a new 'as issued' Italian M1 Garand constructed with 'New Old Stock' parts. I was fortunate enough to break the rifle in and film some of the experience. I was using new enbloc-clips with full phosphate finish which always made the 1st round stick and difficult to chamber. This is like going back in time and reliving a moment when M1 Garands were brand spanking new.

Blowback's M71 Winchester is a Masterpiece The powerful .348 Winchester is an American rifle cartridge that was introduced in 1936 and developed for the Winchester Model 71 lever action rifle. The Model 71 was conceived as a replacement for both the Model 1886 and Model 1895 as a complement to the Winchester Model 70 bolt-action rifle and to replace a raft of cartridges (the .33 Winchester, the .45-70, the .35 Winchester, and the .405 Winchester) with just one (the .348 Winchester). In this video my long time pal Blowback gives us an introduction to this fantastic specimen. NOTE: Those Barnes 220gr monolithic solids are hitting low on the 6" steel and not where indicated in the video. Hits are the copper coloured smudges on the steel. Riflechair.com

Why the Political Left and Right have been manipulated to despise one another. The citizens of our country are married to one another whether we like it or not. Some days yes - some days no. Part of the being married is knowing in advance that if certain behaviours don't change our destination is inevitable. The give and take of any relationship means that we listen to one another and work together to ensure one another's needs are met. When partners choose to ignore the other and use the government's tools to injure and insult the other party then the marriage will eventually end and you fight over the scraps. The pieces are moving right now in real time and it might already be too late. The Urban / Rural Divide is at it's greatest extent in our history and it's trajectory needs to reverse. I prefer to stay positive and that this can be fixed with the right people in power. Riflechair.com
