Rimfire Blog Viewers (Admin Announcement)

Since the very beginning the top 3 spots in Rimfire Blog viewer stats per country was the United Kingdom, followed by the United States in Second place and South Africa in Third.
Soon The US is going to take the top spot and Germany will kick SA into 4th place (for some reason Germany had a massive load of views in one day a couple of weeks ago which brought them into the top 5)

So, a Big Thank's to all our viewers and regular followers - we have also just launched a Youtube Channel and our first video is also in the below post for those interested!

Have a nice weekend ahead! Cheers from the UK

FPS RUSSIA Raided by 40+ ATF & FBI agents

A couple of days ago, the famous Youtube personality and gun enthusiast Kyle Myers (Old youtube channel FPS Kyle) now known as FPS RUSSIA, had his family property raided in the search for explosives and probably to get a look at his arsenal, despite Tennerite (the explosive he uses in his videos) being legal with the right papers which he does possess!
According to news on the web they left ''empty handed'' - A couple of month's ago Kyles best buddy Keith R. Ratkliff (RIP) was killed apparently execution style, Keith was the Executive Producer of the FPS RUSSIA Youtube Channel which Kyle is the main personality.
This has raised many theories and suspicions especially if you know what is currently happening in the USA now in terms of government crackdowns, new tyrannic laws implemented daily and extreme policing and control.

FPS Russia Youtube Logo

In his youtube channel FPS Russia is a gun lover reviewing various firearms for his viewers (The 3.9 Million Subscribers), not only firearms but even heavy weaponry such as 40mm Bofors Pom Pom guns from WW2 Era, Hellcat Tank Destroyer right through down to the humble .22LR.

All of the firearms he gets access to are legal and he does all of the shooting on his family owned private property in the State of Georgia USA, yes, he is actually a US Citizen just enacting a Russian personality for his show.

Officially, the ATF regards FPSRussia as a commercial undertaking, because “he [Myers] was using explosives and getting paid for it via YouTube.” If Kyle Myers is doing business in explosives, the ATF believes he should have had obtained a federal explosives manufacturing license needed “to engage in the business of manufacturing explosives for sale, distribution or for their own business,” the ATF spokesperson explained.

No illegal explosives were found and no arrests were made, but considering the unprecedented arsenal stocked at one of the locations, the agents considered confiscating Myers’ weapons. “The idea at one of the locations was to take firearms, but they did not do that,” an ATF spokesperson said, according to Onlineathens.com.

The above video is a ''montage of destruction'' from his FPS RUSSIA channel - only 2+ min's long.

 

 

He also has a humourous side, watch the above video clip - this is probably one of the funniest, FPS Russia gets a friend to pepper spray him like a True Russian before attempting to shoot some informal targets with the Kel Tec Sub 2000 in .40 cal

 

We will be updating when and if any new developments come through, in the meantime ... Don't be Beech, go check out his channel!

Legal Pistols for UK

We just wanted to show our fellow shooters & Firearms Enthusiasts overseas what is still actually legal in the United Kingdom in terms of Pistols, since we are the Rimfire Blog we will only be showcasing some in .22LR Calibre.

As you can see in the below images, the Pistols have to have an extended barrel (yes, they are not suppressors / moderators) and also a horrible extention connected to the grip thereby extending the length even further!

These are the Pro TSC 1911 .22LR pistols Made in Germany...

PRO TSC .22LR 1911 Pistols in Tactical and two tone with wooden grip

PRO TSC .22LR 1911 Pistol

PRO TSC .22LR 1911 Pistol - not the various barrel options between the different images above

Going for around £800 or less, I for one find the pricing and the fact that you still have to (by law) have the ridiculous extentions added on, just makes this too sad to comply with, I'd rather keep shooting rifles, you can pick up a decent brand new .22LR for as low as £175 even in Semi Auto.

Handguns including small calibre such as .22LR were outlawed in 1997 following the 1996 Dunblane Massacre.

Last year there was a petition to reclassify .22LR pistols as Section 1 FAC licences which failed to get enough votes by the public (only 13,000 of the 100,000 needed) It would be a good idea to say that a person wanting a .22LR pistol should have already owned or currently own a .22LR, .22WMR or .17HMR Rifle and  have been shooting for no shorter than a year.
