How to use tags :

  • Books are listed under either the “Book” tag or the author’s name.
  • Cloning guides fall under “Clone” and “Cloning Guides” tags.
  • Reenactment content all falls under “Reenactment”.
  • My personnal cloning projects are all tagged as “Clone” and “Projectnameoftherifle”.
  • All other tags (years, manufacturers, regiments, units, accessories, rifles, places etc) refer only to the real deal. This is to offer you a quick way of checking out if something specific has been used (by whom, which year, where, etc). These are purely dedicated to In The Wild posts.

Foreword

After years of posting my nitpicking on cloning real rifles and reenacting specific regiments on multiple social media platforms, it was time that I regroup it all in one place.

You'll find here everything I posted about on my Instagram : clone projects, kits, in the wild spotting and books I've read.

As a bonus, there will be a few complete guides on specific familly of rifles.
Do you want to know more ?
