Continuing with our Finnish Brutality 2023 coverage, we’ve brought back Mike Burns (Bloke on the Range) to talk about his specific setup, as well as how he prepared for Finnish Brutality from his current home nation of Switzerland. Switzerland is often touted as being one of the best places to be a gun collector due to their specific laws surrounding the types of firearms you can get. Bloke managed to get himself set up with a genuine L1A1 rifle, which is not only aggressively British but also something we Americans can never hope to acquire even with our relatively forgiving firearms laws. So please join me and Bloke as we reminisce about Finnish Brutality 2023, retro firearms, and period-correct operator facial hair!

TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #82: Falkin’ Around with Bloke on the Range

On today’s episode of TFB’s Behind The Gun Podcast, we’re continuing our coverage of Finnish Brutality 2023, this time with Mike Burns from Bloke on the Range. Mike is another TFB alumni who expanded into his own YouTube channel and covers mostly historical firearms from his new home in Switzerland. Along with myself and a handful of others in our squad, Mike ran the competition as part of the Armored/TST “Breacher” division which really added to the Brutality of the Match. Mike’s getup this year was a callback to the Falklands War complete with near-period correct gear save for a few items for the sake of practicality. Today Mike and I get into some nitty-gritty details about his specific gear, how the antiquated setup held up to modern competition, and also what it’s like training from the country of Switzerland where it is quite easy to get guns, but not quite as easy to train in a dynamic shooting environment for a competition like Finnish Brutality. Please welcome Mike Burns from Bloke on the Range to the show!
