    Yeah its a reference to a physics joke. (example comes from wiki) Milk production at a dairy farm was low, so the farmer wrote to the local university, asking for help from academia. A multidisciplinary team of professors was assembled, headed by a theoretical physicist, and two weeks of intensive on-site investigation took place. The scholars then returned to the university, notebooks crammed with data, where the task of writing the report was left to the team leader. Shortly thereafter the physicist returned to the farm, saying to the farmer, "I have the solution, but it works only in the case of spherical cows in a vacuum".

    That's almost certainly it. When I was in undergrad and completing my physics classes, mathematical questions often began with assumptions that are completely ridiculous for real-world applications, like assuming that all objects are spherical and frictionless, exist in system that is a perfect vacuum without exchange of mass or energy with the outside, and that all collisions are perfectly elastic.

    Lads, never forget; casual shooters with pristine weapons get different impressions compared to soldiers who have a weapon that has been in the inventory for a decade and hands of 10 previous soldiers, had thousands of rounds already fired through it, carrying it through some crappy environment day in day out for weeks on end with only field cleaning and having to fire literally hundreds of rounds through during very short periods. Both lend themselves to significantly different opinions.

Which i could just play it and listen how i am now but before my enviroment was to loud for it. Either way love the video/videos keep up the great work.

So, I would agree that those would be ideal for the first time shooter. The Hawken was loaded with a half load, so it was very mild to shoot.

    I discovered the cartridge OAL sensitivity with working on an irreparable sporter I'm converting to 308 as well as an absolute dog of an M1934 that was rebuilt with mostly 1917 parts. I had issues with cartridges jumping the feed lips, but when appropriate caliber magazines are used (7mm for the M1934 and 257 Roberts for the 308) feeding is a breeze. With that 308 I'm just going to need a spacer for the bottom of the magazine since the 257 box is off a Model 30, which is lacks the 1917's belly

    I recall a major feature of the Broomhandle being the included holster that could double as a stock, and which supposedly made the gun into a carbine of sorts. Im curious if there are any other cases of pistols with carbine conversions. Preferably commercially.

    I don’t know exactly how it works in Switzerland, but in Italy, despite the ton of paperwork we have to go through even to own guns, when it’s done it’s sort of easy to get other ones after the first one. And even more important, basically if you can own one you can import one. There’s not such a dramatic difference as there is in the US.

    For me, for the first gun there was a small 5min Interview, but it varies from canton to canton. But the rest is always the same, get your criminal record, send it to them and get the acquisition permit for up to 3 guns within a week or so. Really not hard here. It's the same for importation, you need to know the serial number and get one form, that's it. You can also buy directly from other persons and don't have to go through an FFL like in the US. Last gun I bought (Colt Gov't Carbine, with that special permit Bloke mentioned) was from a person I never met, I sent him the money and he sent the gun per mail, no problem.

    @@spoeny that’s so cool. In Italy the pile of paperwork for the first gun is needed as you need a license, so medical evaluation, training to operate most common guns safely, a ton of taxes and than you can buy guns, but always through an FFL. You can buy from other people but you either have to go get them yourself or have them shipped from their FFL to yours. And every gun you have needs to be registered by your local police office, along with ammo every time you buy it new, than you can replenish it whenever you want. I know, it’s frustrating, you need to be a lawyer just to remember what you need to do not to become a criminal...

    Yeah, that's quite a bit easier here. You basically get 3 copies of the acquisition permit, both parties sign them, 1x for the seller, 1x for the buyer and one goes to the firearms office. So everything is registered. For ammo, you either show your criminal registry or a recent acquisiton permit, but only the first time you buy ammo from a store. But I mean the important thing is that we get to enjoy firearms! At least once the ranges are open again...

    Regarding the No1 Mk V: Most of the production seems to have been banished to the Indian Army. Post WW2, Indian troops armed with No1 Mk V rifles were sent to oversee the repatriation of Japanese troops from Indochina. There must have been some "spillage", as there are a couple of photographs circulating, featuring Viet 'local' militia types, post Dien Bien Phu, with No1 Mk V.rifles. And, on top of that, there is an Australian connection. The No 1 MkV "package" was sent to Lithgow when it looked like it would be the next service rifle across the "Empire". Part of the key to production was a completely new body forging, that included the "lumps" at the rear of the body, which would be machined into the bases for the aperture sight. All of this went nowhere, between the "peace dividend and subsequent "winding down of the Lithgow plant "'new" production. Lots refurbishment and "un-starring"' No 1Mk 111* rifles back to "proper" Mk 111 configuration. WW2 and lots of jungle fighting and the raising of actual parachute regiments prompted the search for "appropriate" tools for the "meat-bombs" to carry. Hence the truncated SMLE, actually designated, "Rifle Parachutist" on the drawings and a couple of bayonets for it. Also during the war,the idea of something like the Brit No5 came into view. So, The R&D types came up with the "No. 6' carbine series. In four different patterns. Half of the meager trials run had an aperture sight, exactly like the No1 Mk V. So, either s bunch of Oz No Mk V rifles were "re-engineered", or, more likely, the Lithgow drop forge bashed out a hundred or so, brand new "blank" bodies ready to be bolted to the old fixtures and turned into No6 carbines.
