The slouch hat, the accent, the Rifle. WALTZING MATILDA INTENSIFIES.
MAAAAAAATE....
That C96 holster doubles not only as a stock but also as an armrest!
Bit disappointed there was no video on this one considering he was borrowing Karl's gun and he did so well on this stage. But it was still nice to see an Australian law abiding firearms owner represent my nation and sport so honestly and with such integrity. Good job mate
@@peteraugust5295 But enough about the Australian military ;)
@@frenchstudentA Americans like to joke about the critters down there but according to all my Aussie friends, the most dangerous creature on the whole continent is some piss-drunk bogan named Dale in a Bintang singlet
@@gregorysteffensen3279 Sounds like he's probably from Browns Plains or Ipswich. We all know a Dale who can't handle a ribbing or his drink.
@@dylanwight5764 nah man he's woodridge for life XD you had me at browns plains and that shitty plaza
There is video from his run on Bloke on the Range channel, as well as some lovely chat with the guy.
Knowledgeable guy. As an Englishman can I just say thank you to all ANZACS past and present. I will never forget what you have done.
pj tren thanks
@Pinochet Pilot #666 the commonwealth doesn't need rebuilding. fuck off.
Alistair Shaw Settle down tiger.
So awesome he came all the way to shoot the match! Best of luck to him.
Aussie Pride
if you're an aussie why is your text not upside down?
Me too, just put away my No.4 this afternoon
Good on ya mate, giving my No.5 a run tomorrow down here in TAS.

Alcatraz252 I prefer 54"r" in my Russian guns.
Real ammo has rims
@@JohnLeePedimore Uh, yeah. I know. This was intended as a joke. Cheers.
Rimmed for the extractors pleasure
@@williamfaulkner346 Dam, I was here to make that comment
He has a license to own firearms in Australia. You can say, he has all the necessary koala-fications!
Nothing hard about a firearms licence in Australia.
Nice pun though.
@@australian3308 try living in melbourne.
Great to see somebody in Aussie clobber on In-Range!
Great to see some Australian stuff on the channel!
The look on Karl's face as he transitions from serious TH-camr to "COWBOY ACTION?!?!" is great.
Ian take note: that's how you pronounce Lithgow XD
India has a pretty interesting relationship with the Ishapore. You see, kinda like US Army and Marines, India has two militaries. One is Indian army (IA), the other is a paramilitary force called Border Security Force (BSF). Now BSF usually looks after the borders during peace time, and take charge in relatively low scale skirmishes ( cow-smuggling, illegal immigration etc) whereas army is usually called during war time or terrorist attacks.
Now BSF does play a second fiddle to army in terms of funding. IA did adopt the 1A1 SLR (unlicensed copy of FAL) during 1960s, but BSF was issued with the 2A1 for a long time. Also, Navy decided that maybe they don't need as much small arms firepower as army, and a 2A1 is good enough. BSF was given a massive modernization after 1971 war, but still, changing the rifles took place upto 1975. However, Navy finally replaced them with SLRs during mid 80's.
Just thought about sharing this. :)
@sosy1178 Thanks for letting me know that, buddy. Although, funnily enough, that narrows the gap between India and US even more, lol. BSF is also a part of our overall military.
That was a very interesting read. Thanks for posting it.
@@angrymetalhead my pleasure
That sort of makes more sense than our system. The army and the marines are kinda redundant. Although I have a inherent distrust of paramilitary organizations because they are at the end of the day, a business and will do what the money says
To be fair, the comparison is more accurate to the US army & the US border patrol. The Marines are part of the regular military, while the BSF is only responsible for protecting the border, not fighting actual wars.
Loving the series and the interviews of match participants is always interesting! The WWI themed matches are fantastic, as are basically any match where you've got a gun that's basically fighting you every step of the way.
Speaking as one such competitive Australian shooter, it's surprisingly easy to acquire a Cat.A license. If anything, the 1996 reforms have made it _easier_ to acquire both Cat.A and Cat.B firearms. Anybody who wants to run a manual rifle, rimfire or centrefire, either for recreational or work purposes easily can acquire that rifle. What it comes down to is proving you have a genuine reason (already possessing a probationary license) and safe storage facilities. Recreational shooting in Australia can be expensive to get into, but for every year you maintain your license, it gets increasingly more economical. Once you're in, you're golden.
Thank you Sarah for doing the extra camerawork. It is really nice to get these additional angles.

So, Outback Brutality 2019?
So few will come back alive...
@@themastermason1 Well, not unscathed, anyway. "For the hang tents, and pegs, a man needs two legs, no more Waltzing Matthilde for me..."
@@Psiberzerker I'm imagining casualties from Kangaroo kicks, koala chlamidya, and poisoning from Fosters and bad Vegemite application.
@@themastermason1 Drop-bears, cane toad poppers, billabongs, and at least one stage where you have to throw a boomerang. (45 seconds off if you catch it on the way round.)
@@LadyAnuB They will all fail like the Aussies before them.
Crikey bloody Moses and stone the crows, there's a Aussie on InRange. I'm feeling that national pride oozing outta me
Ian and karl are such genuine cool people. Im glad an aussie came over for this too. Lets go Straya!!
Would he mind if we called him "Bruce", just to avoid confusion?
That was an enjoyable interview!
Nice, I have 2 Lithgow No 1 mark 3's in my safe..both cost my Dad $50AUD when the Australian Army sold them off in the 1980's ..now on my licence and shot regularly..
Call that a bayonet... This is a bayonet!
Nice chat, great to see Rowan there!
As I understand it 303 Enfield rimlock is an ammo problem, the proper milspec ammo has beveled rims so they'll jump into correct orientation when pushed into the mag, or worst case jump over each other if one gets out of order. The sharp square rimmed commercial brass is the issue.
Still sucks.
@@InrangeTv so, you use non-spec ammo and then blame its problems on the spec ammo?
Soz just gotta say it “Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!”
Oi! Oi! Oi!
*Smiles* offers a vegemite sandwich
you took the words outa my mouth
Really enjoying this match series
So Ian....cobray terminator on the 2GACM when?
Well-done and interesting video. A video of Rowan running a stage would be fun to watch.
Pete Sheppard th-cam.com/video/4EaiOLoCpPE/w-d-xo.html
That accent made me take out my tongs in November. In France.
Great video as usual !
Rowan. M best of luck buddy , greetings from India
Thanks guys
Gotta get Rowan on for some more stuff! No better service rifles than the Aussie Enfields, L1A1 SLRs and Austeyrs! (Absolutely 0 bias, I swear!)
Austeyrs?
I've yet to hear a service member who went to the 'Stan say one good thing about those.
@@Slick263 those were mostly of the A1 series. The A2 (and the a3 mod to the A2 rifle) have proven to be battle worthy :)
The HK416 series has had alot of traction it seems especially after success as a DMR
"Rimmed cartridges are obsolete" even though it's the quote by Gun Jesus, the Russians might disagree. On the side what rasputinian sorcery did the Russian used to reliably feed 7.62r in draganov enough to be used as dmr.
Big difference between "doable" and "optimal." The only reason that rimmed cartridges continue in military service anywhere, and the only reason they lasted as long as they did elsewhere is that it was felt that the improvement wasn't worth the cost and hassle. If a rimmed cartridge is acceptable, the fact that it's not the best is unimportant. Another example of where cost and logistics made a major army choose something less than the best is the Garand: most people acknowledged that .276 Pederson or something similar would have been a better caliber, but it would have been a logistical PITA, so the Garand was made in .30-06.
Simple analogy, just because the SKS was a functional service firearm doesnt mean it wasnt totally obsolete when it was adopted in 1945
Karl, did you ask him how it felt like blood pumping toward his head instead of his feat?
What a legend!
Good work digger!!
amazing guy
Awesome
So does this set in motion a HARD AS HELL AUSTRALIA!!??!?
Any chance Rowans run was filmed?
more of these please.
Ok
did you film rowan shooting a stage?
I shoot at the same service rifle club that Rowan shoots with. He is an incredible shooter to watch going through any match.
You can never go wrong with a good old SMLE MK3
Driving through Lithgow tomorrow , must stop at the museum
I’m American but I love the Lee in 303, great rifle. Smooth and fast bolt
Oooh, Australia. I would love to go there again, at least once before my time on this rock is past due :)
Saw the slouch hat in the first stage vid, was wondering if he was from down here, Hope to see him running a stage. Trying to get 2gacm running down here but it's bloody challenging to start a new discipline, especially if your club isn't all that interested ( too much techwear and holsters that just sit under the gun not around it...lol )
any update on Aussie 2GACM? I'd love to come and do a few matches
@@djcoopes7569 No progress, the option we had was closed down, still working on it.
@@BK45AUS sorry to hear that. best of luck to your future endeavours!
Frick yeah! What a rockstar!
Which part of Australia is he from? I'd love to get involved in the kind of service rifle comps he's talking about.
Did you guys manage to get any footage of his run?
Anyway, great guest, and still loving all the content as always!
He sounds like he's from West of the Mountains to me
@@chrisgurney2467 Drop bear Territory.
Many towns across the country have gun clubs. My town has a fantastic pistol club that has service rifle and pistol competitions each month.
Bearded Bjorn nah not nsw
Service rifle matches are held all across the country. Look at the SSAA website.
I've met and taken a class with the Australian .50 cal national champ. He's a good dude.....
Rowan ... Mate
Which club do attend for your service rifle comps?
Also...Desert Brutality Down Under would be an awesome thing to behold.
Thank you Ian, Karl and Rowan.
If you want to learn to shoot a Service Rifle like that in Australia... Go shoot with the guys at Queensland Military Rifle Club.
Ta muchly Karl and Ian. Also, Ro... hope you had fun running rings round these Seppos. They're nice blokes, but.... Oi Oi Oi!
It would be cool to see the video, if one exists, of the match he shot you were discussing.
TealcJack th-cam.com/video/4EaiOLoCpPE/w-d-xo.html
Lith-GO. He said it properly.
And I will continue to educate as such where ever I go. - Rowan
Cool he came from so far, wish I could afford to do this, since I'm from Texas I presume I could just bring my guns to an event out west. Thanks to yall I know tiger Valley exists and that's just south of me.
I can hear a desk banging in Switzerland.
Apparently the original issue 303 ammo is less likely to suffer rimlock as it used a tapered rim, the modern ammo doesn't have this. I forgot to try rimlocking both before I traded my Lee Enfield in. FYI I'm an Aussie too!
Modern yankee ammo
@@wierdalien1 and S&B, from memory.
Did he have a .303 magazine in that 7.62 Ishapore?
I do enjoy all that the channel offers, there is one thing that is missing! the giveaways that you use to do. I enjoyed not being picked, that is something I looked forward to, what is the chance that you might do some more giveaways in the future?

Aussie pride.
He didn't mention beer once, not once.
Gator and the Hump!!! (Our Aussie friends will know what this means...)
Creed Moore we do indeed remember!
Indeed we do
Show us the Aussie's run fellas, be a hoot to see that .303 going like the clappers

I was wondering if Karl is having a seizure but i guess he is resting his arm on that red9 holster haha.
Video of him shooting the match?
Any video of his stage run?
So, Rowan was firing a .308 Lee Enfield. That explains why he didn't encounter rimlocks 😉.
In all honesty, he dominated his class. If we would have brought his own gun in .303, instead of this Ishapore Mark I, he would have dominated even harder 😎.
this guy is very charismatic
the aussies and the canadians have an awesome fighting reputation.
Aussie represent!
Where can I find that Aussie's bdu?
Interesting dude! Or bloke since he's from down under.
I LOVE THE POGUES!!!
Check out 'bloke on the range' for video on his run in the match
Now also has a channel - Rowan
If he had issues with loading the rifle it might be because that is a .303 magazine in the rifle, not a .308 magazine. I'm actually surprised it would work at all.
That’s not the rifle he used while shooting.
Yeah he accidentally snagged my rifle off the rack. Needless to say I tactically crapped myself until I saw them walking back with it. We all had a good laugh about it lol

Struth.
Correction ... STREWTH
STRAYA!
Hey that's my rifle that he accidentally snagged lol
Sorry...... That was somewhat embarrassing. - Rowan
we also hunt
Australians are British Texans. Just look at him.
It takes about 1.5 years to get your pistol license and about 2 months for your rifle license, your guns have to be stored in a safe, drilled into your home.
are you going to make a video about Bitchute and PayPal situation?
My .303 would jam
Yeah Karl Australia is a myth, now you’re getting it
Would have been nice if the Aussie wore some WW1 gear.
"Rimmed cartridges are obsolete" ... Ahahahaha ahahahahahah HAHAHAHA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHahahahaha ... dear oh dear ...
They are.
@@InrangeTv Millions of rounds of rimmed .303 are still in use Globally ... to THIS day. Hardly O-B-S-O-L-E-T-E ... lol
As Karl regularly identifys.... Obsolete is diffrent to Obsolescent
@@dsar9489 Things that are obsolete are out of date or no longer in general use. Things that are obsolescent are fading from general use and soon to become obsolete. Neither qualifies as true given that factory 303 is still produced and supplied Globally, to this day. I'm sure this fact renders Karl incandescent. Woof ...
I really hope his Enfield was unloaded, the way he held it felt slightly concerning. ^^
Thorstein Wolfgangson the bolt was open so it would not have had anything in the chamber. Plus I’m pretty sure these guys know something about firearm safety
@@chexquest87 Hah I didn't notice the open bolt (I listened more than watching). Thank you for pointing it out. Firearm safety is big on InRange, I trust them not to do something too risky ^^.
Quite normal way to carry an unloaded gun on range in UK/Australia. Bolt open carried across the chest, crooked in the arm so people can see the action is open. Carry it closed and you learn a whole new world of sore ass from Range Saftey Officer's boot. .
Aussie Aussie Aussie oie oie oie
International shooting peeps unite!
Are aussies just naturally cool people?
Operator Pretty much.
......... Yes - Rowan
Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover.
Rowan M and hes got a patch on hes arm with M..... 😂
What breed of Australian is he? No glorious moustache? Not displaying his Australia-shaped Chest hair (if present)?!
Pah!
Coitus Ergo Sum But his shooting tho... th-cam.com/video/4EaiOLoCpPE/w-d-xo.html
'rimmed cartridges are obsolete'
Someone forgot to tell that to the Russians
They’re obsolete.
InRangeTV that may be, but the Russians seem to be doing quite fine with their 7,62x54r ammo. Any idea why they still haven't upgraded?
@@remcodenouden5019 Same reason they haven't upgraded their aging infrastructure.
Fear the man with one rifle. It might mean that he only likes one gun, but it may just mean that it’s the only gun he could get and he’s good with it.
STRAYA
>Rimmed cartridges are obsolete
Maybe if they bloody manufactured them right (chamfered the back of the rim) they wouldn't be as bad.
