How do the Swiss make a sniper rifle? Carefully. Very carefully! - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

How do the Swiss make a sniper rifle? Carefully. Very carefully! - Silvercore Firearms Training BC


As you might guess from my watch & clockmaking youth, I admire the Swiss. I especially admire the way their commitment to self-preservation scared off the Nazi war machine when everyone around them was being invaded. What was their secret? Accurate rifles and soldiers who knew how to use them!
——
Ahh, the Swiss. Aside from chocolate and fine timepieces (two things of which I'm fond), they're known for producing quality firearms. The SIG P210, for instance, is a gloriously precise pistol, finely fitted (in stark contrast with the offspring of their unholy alliance with the German firm of Sauer & Sohn, which are crude devices in comparison.) Do I need to mention that it is superbly accurate as well? Didn't think so.

If one were to nominate a rifle to compliment the P210, it would likely be the Karabiner Model 1931 — often referred to in short by the nomenclature "K31". Chambered in the often overlooked 7.5x55 Swiss cartridge, the K31 features a beautifully machined straight-pull bolt. The gun is nicely constructed and fitted, surprisingly so for a military arm issued to rank-and-file troops. (The rifle is often erroneously referred to as a Schmidt-Rubin, which is not correct. Schmidt designed the action of the Swiss army's first straight-pull rifles, but the K31 is a completely different design. Rubin's name could be fairly associated with the rifle, for he was the designer behind the cartridge.)

The K31 rifle operates like, well, a Swiss watch: everything slides into place smoothly and predictably, with a reassuring sound of quality. Operating the bolt on a K31 is very much like closing the cylinder on a Colt Python: there is just something so right about it! 

I shouldn't need to say that the K31 is a superbly accurate rifle, but I will. In any other country the gun would have been considered a marksman's rifle in its stock form, but for the Swiss snipers it wasn't good enough. From the K31 action Eidgenossische Waffenfabrik developed the ZfK-55 sniper rifle, adding a scope, muzzle brake, pistol grip, and a much heavier barrel for enhanced accuracy.

They didn't stop there, however. The Swiss military wanted to maintain full functionality of the rifle but, with a scope being needed for precision shooting, there was a tiny little problem: the scope covered the port in which the stripper clips were placed for loading the magazine. Now they could have simply offset the scope (like we did on our Garands), but that introduces windage corrections and cheek weld problems. Can you imagine what that would do to someone with OCD? Well, that's what it did in Bern.

The solution was typically Swiss: they'd modify the entire rifle, rotating the action 15 degrees to clear the stripper clip guide from the scope. This meant that they could have a center-mounted scope and still use their stripper clips. All they needed to do was spend the money to do it, which they did. I can't imagine what it cost to build these very limited production rifles!

Today ZfK-55 rifles are very collectible and naturally rare. Since they're not really based on any existing rifle (even the K31 action is heavily modified for the role) fakes are unheard of, so if you want one you have to pony up.

Naturally Ian at Forgotten Weapons made a video aout the ZfK-55, and it's a good chance to see the lengths to which the Swiss would go to get what they wanted! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbct7Xu-AMw

Makarov with drum magazine - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

Makarov with drum magazine - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

A Russian inventor has developed an eighty round 9x18mm magazine for the Makarov PM pistol. He writes (in Russian) that the Makarov is still in use by police in Russia not because they cannot afford new pistols but because the Makarov is genuinely loved. He says the problem with them is that standard magazine only holds eight rounds and extended magazines only hold up 12 rounds. Twelve rounds is not a lot by todays standards, especially when you consider that the 9x18mm is about 30% less powerful than a 9x19mm NATO. His solution was to develop a drum magazine that holds eighty rounds. - See more at: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/11/06/magazine-makarov-pistol/#sthash.udAMqyer.dpuf

FN 5.7×28mm - Silvercore Training BC

FN 5.7×28mm - Silvercore Training BC



The FN 5.7×28mm is a small-caliber, high-velocity cartridge designed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium. It is a bottlenecked centerfire cartridge that is somewhat similar to the .22 Hornet or .22 K-Hornet.[7] The 5.7×28mm was developed in conjunction with the FN P90 personal defense weapon (PDW) and FN Five-seven pistol, in response to NATO requests for a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge.

In 2002 and 2003, NATO conducted a series of tests with the intention of standardizing a PDW cartridge as a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge. The tests compared the relative merits of the 5.7×28mm cartridge and the 4.6×30mm cartridge, which was created by Heckler & Koch as a competitor to the 5.7×28mm. The NATO group subsequently recommended the 5.7×28mm cartridge, citing superior performance in testing, but the German delegation objected and the standardization process was indefinitely halted

Youth Licence BC Age Range Increased- Silvercore Firearms Training BC

Youth Licence BC Age Range Increased- Silvercore Firearms Training BC



Effective April 1, 2013, an expanded age range for the Youth Hunting Licence will be in effect, making it available for youth ages 10 to 17 years, inclusive. Previously, the age range of the youth (‘junior’) hunting licence was 10 to 13 years.

It is anticipated the new licence will be available at Service BC locations and local vendors no later than March 20, 2013.

Expanding the age range of the youth hunting licence aims to ensure that hunting remains affordable for youth and their families. It also makes it easier for youth ages 14 to 17 (inclusive) to give hunting a try and to have more mentorship opportunities as they are no longer required to first complete the Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) course. A youth who is a B.C. resident and has completed CORE may purchase an adult hunting licence; however, a Hunter Number Card is first required.

As previously required, a parent or guardian must purchase, as well as hold, the youth hunting licence on behalf of the youth. To purchase the youth hunting licence, the parent or the guardian must sign an “Acknowledgement of Responsibility” form, confirming that the parent or guardian will be fully responsible for the actions of his or her child or ward while the child or ward is hunting or carrying a firearm. Youth (ages 10 to 17, inclusive) who participate in hunting in B.C. must be accompanied by, and under the close personal supervision of, an adult 18 years or age or older, who holds a hunting licence (unless exempted) and meets the qualifications as a supervising hunter.

Supervising Hunter For Youth
A supervising hunter must be 18 years of age or older, hold a hunting licence (other than an initiation hunting licence) or be exempted from holding a hunting licence, and meet the prescribed qualifications.

The prescribed qualifications are:

if the person is a resident, the person must hold a resident hunter number card (unless exempted);
if the person is a non-resident or non-resident alien, the person must have  passed a hunter safety training course anywhere in Canada or the USA;
the person must have held a hunting licence, other than an initiation hunting licence, in B.C. (unless exempted), or a licence to hunt elsewhere, in not fewer than 3 of any of the licence years preceding the current licence year;
if the person is an Indian residing in B.C., paragraphs (a) to (c) do not apply and the person must have received training in hunting and previously hunted lawfully without supervision, and
the person must not be prohibited from carrying or possessing a firearm.
The supervising hunter may accompany no more than two youths at one time (or no more than two initiation licence holders, or one youth and one initiation licence holder).

Bag Limits
Individual species licences may not be purchased under the youth hunting licence; youth under this licence do not have an individual bag limit for game. The supervising hunter must hold the appropriate uncancelled species licence for any species that is hunted. Any game killed by a youth must be accounted for and is part of the bag limit of the supervising hunter.

A B.C. resident youth who holds a valid expanded youth hunting licence may hunt in a Limited Entry Hunt (LEH) if accompanied by and under the close supervision of an adult who holds a valid species licence and a valid LEH authorization. The supervising hunter must cancel the species licence when an animal is taken and it is part of their bag limit.

If the youth, on whose behalf a youth hunting licence has been issued, is hunting with a licensed guide, the prescribed qualifications in item (a) to (c) do not apply to the supervising hunter and the youth is allowed their own bag limits for small game only.

EQUIPMENT VS. SKILLL - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

EQUIPMENT VS. SKILLL - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

BY JOE   |   POSTED ON 04/21/2014 BY JOE   |   Silvercore Firearms Training BC

The firearms industry is driven by the aftermarket, not necessarily the weapon manufacturers themselves. Through advertising, aftermarket manufacturers convince the average shooter that they “need” every trinket and gizmo to make themselves a better shooter. This seems to be a never ending battle I have with people, convincing them which is more important, the software or hardware.

A fast shooter is fast not because of his equipment which SO SO SO many people can’t grasp. A person isn’t a good shot because of the rifle he/she holds, the rifle is accurate because of the person holding it. I’ve used this analogy before, that you cannot purchase muscle memory and no matter how many things you bolt onto your gun the shot timer will not reflect large improvements without rounds sent down range. You can’t rent experience, or borrow the needed skill to make a difficult shot, make it through an actual gunfight or life threatening situation. Those reflexes and abilities are earned on the range, and too many people focus on the tool and not the skill to use it.

A mechanic isn’t the person with the shiniest Snap On tool box and fanciest tools, he has built up years of experience that helps him do his job efficiently and right the first time. I get asked a lot about what drills I would recommend to become a better shot with a precision rifle. I would venture to say, most good instructors can get new students the same or better results and smaller groups in an afternoon with a iron sighted 22lr or scoped 22lr at 50 yards than a .308, 6.5 Creedmor or equivalent. The same can be said of a carbine with iron sights or a standard Glock 9mm without all the work everyone thinks they absolutely need to put into it.

Now am I saying that these things, additions, technology doesn’t help in some aspect? No I am not. I would venture to ask, do most people even know the reason they put all the Pic rail attachment items, or modifications on their gun? Other than that they saw their favorite Youtube, high speed instructor using it that way? Each person brings different dimensions, hand sizes, eye dominance, previous injuries to the table that will lead to changes in body position, grip, what gun is comfortable, trigger finger placement, what sight someone prefers, shape of trigger, stock they put on a gun, or any million other modifications you can make to your personal firearm.

Have a good reason and know why each modification is for you and why, it will only help to make you a better shooter and have a much better understanding of your shooting style and skill level. I challenge anyone to start basic, shoot till your fingers bleed, and then shoot some more. Burn some barrels out, get your hands on as many different options as possible for everything before deciding that just because instructor X uses it that way it’s the way for you.

2,500 Meter Rifle Shot - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

2,500 Meter Rifle Shot - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR6n7ztRJfs

Hitting a target more than 2,500 meters away proved to be no sweat for this long-range shooter, even though the bullet had to travel for almost a full five seconds in the air.

LiveLeak user Grizzman uploaded a video showing viewers his set up and successful near-1.5 mile shot with a .338 Lapua Magnum rifle and a metal target.

“A few days ago I took out the 338 Lapua and attempted the 2,500-yard shot,” Grizzman said. “So I placed the target at 2,530 yards or 1.43 miles away, at that distance the bullet flight time is almost 4.5 seconds!”

“I went out early in the morning to beat the mirage, luckly [sic] there was very little wind around 3-4 mph coming from the left, I dialed 2.6 mils Left,” the shooter explained on LiveLeak. “I had to dialed the maximum elevation my scope (Nightforce NXS 5.5-22×56 MIL/MIL) had at 27.4 mils then held over 2.5 mils on the reticle to get me to 29.9 mils.”

Lever Release vs. Button Release - SILVERCORE FIREARMS TRAINING BC

Lever Release vs. Button Release - SILVERCORE FIREARMS TRAINING BC



Which is easier to build muscle memory with? 

So many people dismiss the HK-style paddle/lever mag catch without putting serious time behind it, but at the same time there are folks who can't accept that some shooters genuinely just prefer the button. Personally, the ability to hit the paddle with my trigger finger is a huge boon because it allows me to drop the mag without shifting my grip at all. SO:

Accuracy International (AI) -Silvercore Firearms Training BC

Snipers aim to remain unseen but one made headlines last month when he killed six Taliban in Afghanistan with a single shot, by hitting the trigger of a suicide bomb.

The near 1,000-yard shot the British soldier took was made using an L115A3 rifle produced by Accuracy International (AI), a small company based on the outskirts of Portsmouth.

This feat is just one of many achieved by troops armed with AI products. The world record of 2,710 yards – more than a mile and a half – is held by Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison, of the Household Cavalry.
Shooting at a Taliban machine-gun position that was attacking an Afghan army patrol, it took Harrison’s bullet nearly three seconds to hit its target – a shot he then repeated twice more.
That AI can produce rifles capable of such precision is incredible in itself. That the company which makes the weapon of choice for Britain’s elite marksmen and special forces started out in the garage of one of its founders is perhaps even more remarkable.

SHOOTING WITHOUT…YOURSELF - Silvercore Firearms Training BC
BY ARIK LEVY   |   POSTED ON 04/10/2014 |   Silvercore



 So, what the hell does that mean? We often go to the range, start shooting a drill or even bullseye practice, and begin to make judgements.  “Damn, my shots keeping going to the left.”  “I’m shooting too slow”.  “Why can’t my group look like his group?” or even, “I suck!”  This is your ego or more commonly known as the conscious mind.  It tells us what’s going on.  It’s that running monologue in your head.  This reminds of me of the scene in the iconic Tom Cruise movie, “The Last Samurai.”  In it, our hero has learned the art of the sword and is in a competition with one of the instructors.  As it goes on, he has a hard time connecting and summarily gets his butt kicked.

At this point one of the spectators chimes in on the downtrodden student and gives him the following advice.  “..please forgive me, too many minds”  “..What?” he asks.  “..mind the sword, mind face, mind the people watching, ..to many mind”  Again our hero is puzzled.  “No Mind..” the sage guides him.

Tom was worried about too many things (see what you can relate to):  Thinking about his technique.  Thinking about how he felt.  Thinking about what other people were thinking…Too many minds.  No mind.  You need to calm that inner center and stop the conscious from “trying” to take over.  Studies have show that the conscious mind can only truly concentrate on one thing at a time.  The subconscious can handle multiple things at the same time.  That’s why you hear coaches and teachers expound the doing from the subconscious.  But far too often that sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo.  What does it really mean?

You need to develop your subconscious skills (drawing, pulling the trigger, grip, etc.) through hours of repetition of dry practice.  Sounds like a lot.  10 minutes a day becomes over an hour a week, which then becomes 4 hours a month, which becomes almost 50 hours a year.  I’ve been there.  Ten minutes grows to 15 minutes easily because we like to do it.  Once we commit to working the subconscious, we no longer need to worry about it.  It’s there in the background, skill without thought.  We then need to turn off the constant chatter of the ego and let the skill work.  Try it at your next practice.  No mind…
