One of the things I love about your vids - the sense of humor, and the effort you've taken on being clothing accurate.

That's possibly the greatest opening you've ever done and that's saying something. No baby Jesus nooo.

1:58 British soldier testing out Mac prototype 1940 colorized

In our service rifle club in Perth WA we did a walk up from 200. Bayonet and helmet. 3 rounds prone at 200, come to the port , advance to 150 2 rounds sitting,reload 5 come to the port advance to 100,two rounds kneeling then advance to fifty and fire 3 rounds rapid standing. Some of the young fellas would then charge and bayonet a sandbag,to much yelling for my liking. But a lot of fun.☺

Yes, more British muzzleloader on the range. Both of your content are educational and entertaining.

Rob and Mike out on the range. Gee! S-H-O-O-T-I-N-G! As ever, educational, entertaining and informative. It sent me to the cabinet to stare at the silver spoon I won at Bisley more than 45 years ago! Thanks Muzzleblokes! :D

Sorry, you two are having way too much fun there😁.. I really think you need to complete the trifecta by getting Gun Jesus (aka Ian McColum) to join you! All jokes aside, keep up the great work.

"Like the hand of god" hahaha classic I may sound like a broken record but this is invaluable work you're doing here lads

The two of you are performing a great service to shooters and historians. Keep up the great work!

Super vidéo, j'adore le lee enfield n4 .Bonjour de france.

Wow, this is an awesome video, I Would like to run a service match in Australia with our number 1 rifles as we never began production of the number 4 rifle down under, and your videos are so unbelievably helpful. thanks mate this is just brilliant Rob , just brilliant indeed.

Two of my favourite historic firearms/military history channels together. Probably not totally relevant, but in the 1980's British Army (armed with the SLR) we were trained to advance with the rifle in our shoulder if a contact was at all likely.

Absolutely great! My two favourite gun-geezers making me laugh!! Cheers lads!

Thanks once again for referencing the website - it's Vickers MG Collection & Research Association by the way ;o) A bit of a mouthful I suppose.

Great work Rob and Mike. Clearly, the British army learned the hard way that, in a lot of cases, targets exposed themselves only very fleetingly and that existing snap shooting doctrine was not up to scratch. The Australian army was to also learn this in jungle warfare, were the ranges were even closer, as little as 5 to 15 yards.

I thoroughly love this collaboration you guys were made for each other

The dynamic duo! Well done! Now I know where the 50 meter “Fast Freddy” came from in the current course of fire. Fast Freddy is only up for 3 seconds

10/10 video, the landscape, uniform and information is top content. Will look forward to your new videos.

I love these videos. You two make a great duo.

Excellent collaboration, gentlemen! Thanks for this video.

I absolutely love all the collaboration .

Hi from Pennsylvania buddy Jeff. Awsome video. I absolutely love my 303 British rifle. Now I'm gonna poke some fun. Just think if the British and Canadian were armed with theM1i grand. . I have one . Mine is a Springfield. A 1952 . What a sweet lady she is. The germans would haven't. Made it 2 months.. and I think my 303 is a better rifle than my 1903 rifle. Both are very accurate. You guys are awsome. 😊 God bless😊

Wonderful tache , perfect "face furniture" for the period 😀

Outstanding quality as always. You put big TV networks to shame.

add another twist firecraker to emulate the target shooting back...... " nothing more exhilerating than being shot at without result" Winston Churhill. thanks lads great video.👍

The production quality on these is improving all the time, I'm impressed! Did not peg you for a Mac user ;) Cheers!

Bloke. Report to the class room after school and write out 1000 times. "It's a battle sight, not a ghost ring". Great vid!!

Can you just make a full firing line of you shooting the No.4 Mk 1 that would be awesome

im gonna say it. you to have a war time comedy about the brothers, the sargent, and all while being educational and entertaining.

Big thumbs up, really interesting

Loved the intro xD I'm loving these videos I'm learning something new everytime

"Advanced piece of paper" I laughed way too hard at that!

Good shooting!

Love you guys channel

Your editing is getting better and better :D I too am a fan of the large aperture, it just seems more comfortable when acquiring a sight picture. In a firefight or a standard engagement with adrenaline pumping and shots going everywhere I would expect the side with the fastest time to acquire a sight picture would come out on top~

Good work!

Lost my breakfast coffee at 15 mins! Thanks boys...

Good stuff

Great fun, looks fascinating to have a go at, would be interesting to see you do HOME GUARD training comparison

I did the Static Mechanical Range at Puckapunyal in the 90s and this walk was remarkably similar to the walking advance we did at the end. Firing the Aussie made, Inch pattern 7.62 SLR bang stick at the almost last gasp of its service career with the Australian Defence Force and the Aussie made Aug Steyer beginning to be seen by Reserve Units. Most of SLRs I handled had 62 or 63 series butt numbers and so were a few years older than me. I liked the SLR, except when marching, and if the infinity scope for the Steyer could have been fitted to the SLR it would have made the rifle even better.

I’m jealous of that mustache.

I love these types of videos

Really good video

You two are just too enjoyable! This coming from a guy that has shot the same No. 1 Mk III* for over 60 years. Dinna fash, laddies as there is a Faz No. 4 Mk2 here too. If you're close to AZ sometime, stop by, I'll buy the beer & bullets. The tam is just too cool, where can one obtain same? Most heartfelt thanks, Dennis

Thanks again for the really high caliber (no pun intended) work you put out on a regular basis. You've managed to strike a fantastic blend of detail research, technical discussion and a sense of humor that appeals to the inner 12 year old in all of us. I can't wait to see what's next. As someone else posted below I think it would be interesting to see you do a collaborative with Forgotten Weapons and InRange. Ian and Karl have run SMLEs and seem to have far more problems than you do. I think it would be interesting to see you run one of your rifles in one of their 2 gun matches down in Arizona. I also think it would be interesting them to run some of their stuff up in your part of the world. Cheers!!

great vid. just subbed.

That was great guys! I love the content of these collaborations. I'll have to remember the rope for the targets. Put the wives to work so to speak. HAHAHA.

I was taught that the "battle sight" that stands up when the "leaf sight" is lowered was for 100 yards or less.

Fastest like in the West

Great clip and subject, even today with modern weapons whether it be an Assault Rifle/Carbine (either 5.56mm or 7.62mm), Semi-Auto SMG (HKMP5), or Pistol it would still be a challenge. Also Mike ("Bloke on the Range") looks better without the beard, it suits you...I also like your continued use of the more realistic way of carrying the rifle whilst on patrol as per WWII photos instead of the Post-War versions, it's far more likely given combat theatres like Italy and the jungles in Burma where you may be trying to move through urban rubble or jungle tall grass/thick scrub, unless you are about to enter a house or similar it's unlikely you'd have your rifle up high into your shoulder as it's too heavy to hold/carry for long periods of time. Lastly I guess it's possible that this Snap shooting technique is connected to the Close-Quarter Combat shooting in your other clip in concept and creation. Kind regards.

Splendid work Rob and Bloke. From the BD fit I see that the Bloke is not friends with the CQMS. Also he is sponsored by 'Fox's Glacier Mints'.

Great video just one thing though the position the rifle is being held in some of the practices while on the move I believe is a more modern way of holding the rifle as it was drilled into the men at the time to hold the weapon in a certain way to elevate the weight and strain of carrying the weapon.

Personally I'd say a Mac is a step backwards from a piece of paper... Trollface.jpeg

You must try to come to Australia. Have a look ( Google ) our Lang Lang range, Eagle Park range and Military Rifle Club etc in Victoria. Would make for a very fun and interesting trip for you both. Great video.... 👍🏻

Jolly good show. You might investigate servo technology to move those targets. Its easy peasy.

The Canadian Armed Forces has Personal Weapon Test III where infantry do a run down with snap shoots at the end.

I have a good feeling that you two should make a video with slow mo guys. I don't know why but I just think the banter would be great.

Love the show from N Y USA

Damn! you're so much unthinkable good in those videos, that I had to immediate hit the subcribe button just like I've been shooting with Enfield No.4 But I have to admit that you're carrying Small Pack a little bit too lower that it should be carried. But everything else is fine. Thank you!

Another fantastic, entertaining and informative video Rob. Thanks for the great work that you do with your channel. Can you please solve a dispute for me? A buddy and I have an ongoing argument about where you film your videos - are you on the Island or the Mainland?

What a weapon, fired it in the eighties on a sniper range

You guys are lucky the Lee Enfield no4 mk1/2 is my dream gun

Wait until he discovers there is an entire section of brothers

Based on this video, I am now completely convinced that Baby Jesus is a menace and should be stopped at all costs.

That’s a remarkably modern range practice, it is essentially a simplified version of the current NZ Army annual weapon qualification.

Very informative, who new you had a twin?

Rob's clone army strikes again.

Great video and shooting! Was rifles safety on or off while walking?

...will the new Laurel and Hardy please step forward.

Damn it, time to make a sporterised tactical Snider-Enfield. Jesus told me.

Very interesting. One gets the impression that most military rifle training until the 70s or later was just simple shooting at a round bullseye. According to some second-hand information, the US Army started adopting more realistic training after ww2, but I've not read the actual primary sources. I have read the US training manuals from the late 60s through the 80s, and it is interesting that the manuals are almost word for word the same despite going from a mass army of draftees to a professional 'highly trained' army of volunteers.

My favorite long neck is the lithgow smle no 1 mark 3* with a 1945 stamp on the butt my brother and i have all the reloading equipment for British 303 the number 4 is just an upgrade to the smle that we didnt get in Australia

Where can I get this advanced piece of paper?

So how do you use the numbers on the Leaf sight?

which one is the puller and which is the shooter? not that there is anything wrong with either

I'd very much like to see these exercises performed with the team from inrangetv over a few days with some assault applications

top intro.

I remember reading a bio of paratrooper general Jim Gavin. In it he describes the 82nd division in training before leaving for overseas. He recounted that the division was visited by 82nd division MOH awardee, Alvin York. In the biopic of York, Gary Cooper portrayed York as a sharpshooting mountaineer from Tennessee. He was. York, however, told them that most of the shooting they did was quick shooting usually from the hip. The 82nd incorporated this advice into their training and became quite proficient at it. The Germans found this out as did the Russians. Yes, the Russians. Gavin said that during the joint occupation of Berlin, Russian troops would often emphasize a point in conversation by pulling out a pistol and firing it into the ground. They learned not to do this around the 82nd's veterans. The vets weren't going to wait and see what the intended target was and they were quick and relatively accurate from the hip with M1 Garands.

I really enjoy these videos, but I gotta ask. Where did you find so many rounds of .303? A box of 20 cartridges goes for almost $70 at some suppliers now. 😳

Hey from the east coast! How's the BC winter treating you? Bet you wish you had those wool tunics now that it's January!

Ross twins are at it again 😂

When was this filmed (what time of year?) Trying to get a handle on how long it takes the Nighthawks to migrate.

For king and country

I love the hat

And the Oscar goes to....

I know this is called British Muzzle loaders but Id appreciate it greatly if you did a Vid on the Mosin Nagant 1891

Top dollar, pukka, mint, the dog's bollocks, the mutt's nuts. What can I say? Thank you. Donation on it's way.

My god I thought our Caubeen's were large, you must have seriously got some oversized berets.

Perhaps the advances to shooting points should be done on the double?

Did Canadian troops use blanco on their web gear in wwii?

Are either of you two familiar with lindybeige? He has hundreds of vids covering a wide range of military topics.

I couldn't focus on what you where talking about, i just spent the whole vid admiring your uniforms.

Was that 'two seconds" in metric?.... :)

5:39 that hurt me deaply

I wonder if there was a channel called American Muzzleloaders. What rifle would I use. I for American musketry I would use a M1 Garand

Epic intro, more ASS and advanced paper. So what is this video about? Hehehe...

Do you prefer the no1 or no4? Do you find one is better then the other overall?

I don't know where I got the idea that you lived in Australia.

Mikes hat needs more yeast, and ten more minutes in the oven to make it rise.

The Oscars are safe......
