Watch this video guys, puts an interesting perspective on the Enfield's often dreaded "rim-lock" issue.

He's certainly pretty exited about rim lock lol, but i can agree with variations in ammo, my legit surplus is slightly different

I have quite the respect for BlokeOnTheRange, and saw this video well before the posting of this thread. How is he 'an annoying bastard'? Have you not seen his series with Lee Enfield Variants?

I enjoy his videos and he is informative. He's annoying only to those who don't have access to the great toys he's playing with, or who hate guns. Well at least that is my humble opinion.
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."

Well I've got "access" to a variety of firearms so I probably don't "hate guns" that's a bit of a weird thing to type??
His constant repeating of himself I found bloody annoying, maybe at 04:30 I'm slightly more intolerant than you two fellas? Anyway just my opinion that he's annoying and I'll keep it cheers, thanks for reading

Well that's pointless in telling us isn't it, if you can't justify why he is annoying.

Definitely didn't make me want to search/google him for more vids. But judging from the reaction I got I think I will :sarcasm:
