Well well well, if the Americans haven’t been attempting to do content on British gats again… This time, we get Garand Thumb’s take on the Rifle, 5.56mm, L85A1 (AKA SA80 IW). Unfortunately the Shorts format is only long enough to deal with the most egregious issue with Our GT’s video, with over 700 rounds through the thing he somehow never managed to find the bolt release… So this requires a bit of Bloke snark, as well as a few Letterkenny references…
And yes, I didn’t show the correct forward assist to be carried out upon manually dropping the bolt. Cos that wasn’t the point, he wasn’t doing it either…

Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
