Mauser was upset that Germany didn't ask for his help in designing a rifle or, even better, adopting a rifle of his design. In reality he was very fortunate that he was totaly uninvolved. If a rifle of his design had been adopted they would have very likely been made from the same materials. The bursting barrel problem would have destroyed Mauser's reputation world-wide and he would have been nothing more than a minor foot note in history.
But can it shoot .32 ACP?
“Stealing proofed rifles back” is done by unscrupulous suppliers who, in order to continually push inferior quality product past inspectors, just send the same proven good units through over and over. I’m not saying these accusations were reasonable or accurate, but the tactic has been used elsewhere. My first exposure to this was the wire supplier for the suspension cables of Brooklyn Bridge. The manufacturer sent the same approved spool of cable through while Roebling used inferior cable to build the bridge. Apparently it was designed to be 8x stronger than necessary but because of this it’s 4x overbuilt.
I once owned an 1890 example that had gone to the Turks, but never had the conejos to fire it. Frankly, it scared the fool out of me! Kudos to Mae for getting behind what can be questionable technology and letting rip! She's actually quite impressive!!!
"Archivist Georgy K. Zhukov" whaat!?
Mae always looks so happy to be out shooting :D
"cuz nuts to that guy!" FTW, gonna have to start using nuts as a curse more.... its not just for the ardenne in 44' anymore...
This rifle later lead to the Chinese copy of the Hangyang Type 88.
I love the depths that antisemites go to in order to create conspiracies. Thanks for sharing that bit of the story!
I'm so Jealous. Here in the UK, it's pretty much impossible to get your hands on a weapon, though luckily I think anything made at least 100 years ago counts as an antique, so I may be able to get an antique licence.
Mauser specifically bad mouths the 88 Rifle on their website, haha. As if to say "that's what you get when you make the mistake of going to anyone but us".
11 ... that's one more than 10.
You pronounced Gewehr right. Sehr gut :)
"As far as the girth went with it, I didn't think it was that hard to handle at all"
Going back to this episode, it's amazing to me that three of the four main derivatives mentioned at
Mae is looking good and sassy. Othais made a Spinal Tap reference and we've got a two parter.
Was the car Ok?
Thank you very much for that episode. Not totally butchering the names (Schlegelmilch was quite fine and is really improving), a very informative video aaaaaand funny. As I love sarcasm and irony, that "kinda" sidenote on "that guy who got run over by a car" was well implemented. Hell, this episode was good.
I love this episode, because it turned me on to the channel, because around this time I bought a GEW 88, and needed to TH-cam some break down vids. I already was aware of the rifle from a gun magazine article, I fell in love. So when I saw a Bavarian one at the gun show at the hampton collesium in VA, I bought the shit out of it. I paid 350 bones. And I do love the thing
WOW!! This is the best an clearest commentary that I've ever seen. Thanks please keep up the good work.
