If anyone else is interested, I am still looking for guest blog posts. Posts would need to be emailed to me by 19 October (but please email me your topic ideas first). More information here. I won’t be away, but I will have very little time between 20 Oct and 11 [Read More…]

5 years of blogging is a major personal achievement. Congrats ET!

Between 22 October and 11 November I am not going to have much time to blog. Please get in touch with me if you able to write a guest blog post for The Firearm Blog. Posts do not need to be long, just a few paragraphs and some photos. If you want to write an […] [Read More…]

Congrats to Tam! Her blog, View From The Porch, has now been going for four years and just reached a whopping 2 million visits! I highly recommend reading her blog. She is incredibly witty.

SayUncle.com has turned 7 years old! What a major achievement, I have only been going for two years and it feels like 200 hundred! All I can say is that if you are not reading SayUncle, you should be.

I have piles of work I need to get through before a deadline on wednesday and another on thursday! See you on the other side. I have some *very* interesting articles lined up for you later this week.

I know my blogging has been a bit slow over the past week. In a couple weeks time I will be back to normal blogging.

I won’t be blogging tomorrow, so you can skip TFB on Thursday without missing anything.

In the past I have blogged intermittently on the weekend. From now on I will not blog on Saturday or Sunday unless there is some breaking news. This gives me some time to work on longer posts for the upcoming week, site maintenance and to get outside for shooting and [Read More…]

I have loads of work this upcoming week and will be working very late everyday. I will be unable to blog until Tuesday 26 May 🙁 After this work is complete I won’t need to take a blogging break for quite a while. I hate taking breaks, I feel so behind [Read More…]

Good news. I will be back at the blog tomorrow. – Steve

I have so much work I am pretty much going to be working, eating, sleeping and nothing else until Tuesday. I also doubt I will be able to make any progress through my 100+ email backlog.

I incorrectly stated on a couple of occasions that Remigiusz Wilk aka. REMOV, who has contributed many photos to the blog, was a professional military photographer. He is in fact the editor-in-chief of Polish firearm magazine Bron i Amunicja (which translates as [Read More…]

Not well (nothing serious). Will be back blogging tomorrow.

This time it went offline simply because of my incompetence (I deleted an important file accidentally)

My webhosting company took it offline without telling me – they said I was abusing their server. Finally they have figured out that it was a problem with their reporting software, not me. Anyway it is back online. UPDATE: Slicehost did the right thing by me. They [Read More…]

I had adopted, with a few minor changes, the well written comment policy used by Sebastian at Snowflakes in Hell. Basically all I ask is that you do treat others the same as how you would treat them if you were discussing something face-to-face. Comment Policy: I [Read More…]

A few days ago I blogged about the new Scout Sniper Observation Telescope. I said it would use the Horus reticle. According to Allen, a Marine vet and analyst at The Columbia Group, The Marines will be using a standard Gen II Mil-Dot reticle, not the Horus reticle. As [Read More…]

Site has been down, web hosting issues. Back online now.
