    I bought a Peruvian 1891 carbine from a very well known auction company that couldn't identify it. It has mismatched numbers and no visible markings other than a stamp on the barrel indicating it was made in Belgium. It took a while to figure out what I had, still no clue what it's worth but it is a once in a long time find. Info is scarce. Glad to finally see these videos, as I have been an Argentine(and surrounding countries) Mauser collector for several years. Great work, almost wish my gun was in the video lol.

      Peruvian government contracted FN for replacement 7.65 barrels too, apparently later than the SIG contract. They are observed in the 1909s and a few '91 short rifles. Haven't seen one of those in a long rifle upgraded '91 so far.
      Most upgraded '91s with the SIG barrels were apparently stored or seldom used since regardless of external condition, bores are usually find in great condition. Only images I've seen of those firearms being deployed were to firemen departments (To be used in case of a natural disaster or dire need), some police units and Air Force infantry.

    Thanks for yet another great episode. I picked up a sporterized 1891 carbine that has the Spanish crest a bunch of years ago at a local auction for very little money. Whoever owned it previously had done the following. The stock is a replacement with a pistol grip, cheek piece, and inlet Winchester style butt plate. The protective ears had been ground off the front sight. The original rear sight was removed and replaced by a pretty cool Lyman peep that mounts to the bolt release.
    When I saw it I knew nothing about them other than it was a neat little sporterized early Mauser that felt REALLY good in the hand. When it came up in the auction the reason I got it for what I did was I believe due to nobody wanting a sporterized Mauser so I got lucky.

      @@yesthecrumbs5806 My favourite thing about "carbine" is it's a _relative_ term. It just means a rifle that's shorter than a "standard" rifle, and the overall historical trend is rifles getting shorter and shorter.
      The M1 Carbine has an 18.5" barrel, which is "full size" by modern standards. Hell, the "cavalry carbine" pattern of the Brown Bess musket had a 26" barrel!

    Regarding the rear sight locking in fold-down position (Minute 5:04), the one in the rifle does the same at least in the original round nose ball configuration if while pressing the single button you push the graduation slide all the way forward into the rectangular lug in the base.

    The I/J thing is weird because Latin originally only had i, and you were supposed to know when j was meant from context, as with u/v. The German language ended up using j for the English y sound, but sometimes it was (is?) also used for a vowel that makes more sense to write as i.

Modern bolt-action rifles are typically heavier than short rifles of the past for the same barrel length and with less furniture. When weight is of lesser concern, one is free to increase the thickness of the barrel (thus limiting the scope of detrimental impacts upon the barrel harmonics), which can thus be made lightly bedded or entirely free-floating (as with chassis construction).

Besides, custom-made rifles aren't exactly the majority of what's being designed and sold these days, and so was the case back in the day. Nor are these 'ultralights' expected to be carried as service rifles, withstanding all the rigors of combat. The service bolt-action rifle of the past 40 or so years, meanwhile, is a sniper rifle, which can weigh as much as 1.5 times more than a bolt-action service rifle of old with comparable barrel length.

    What if the US had adopted 7.65x53mm cartridge instead of the .30-06 (7.62x63mm)? By already having a relatively compact cartridge for MGs would there have been less motivation to develop and adopt the 7.62x51mm NATO and therefore earlier development and adoption of a true intermediate NATO cartridge? Could the US have successfully converted the MG42 (T24) to the 7.65x53mm cartridge during WW2?

    • @F1ghteR41

      The opposition towards intermediate cartridges in the US was (and maybe still is, given the -NSFW- NGSW program) doctrinal, not technical, as can be seen in comparison with the British attitude in Matthew Ford's PhD thesis on British rifle development ('The British Army and the Politics of Rifle Development, 1880 to 1986', available online).
      As for the 7.65×53 mm cartridge, I'm not sure that it would fit the bill for desirable ballistics for long-range machinegun fire. While spitzer 7.65 loading had heavier and faster bullet than the US M1906, giving it ~150 J more energy (it took a fair bit more time to develop though, as far as I get it), .30-06 had greater case capacity. So when boattail bullets were developed for both cartridges, tables were turned: for almost the same bullet weight M1 cartridge developed more than 80 m/s higher muzzle velocity, giving it a massive 670 J advantage in muzzle energy and much flatter trajectory.
      Given that the US military couldn't forsee the development of modern mortars and the role they would play in future conflicts, as was the case with almost any other military in the world, including the French who pioneered the mortar mine technology in the late '20s, it's reasonable to assume that 7.65×53 mm would be seen at the time with as much contempt as .30-40 was in the early XX century due to its lacklustre long-range potential. It might be argued that a re-evaluation of the M1921 HMG (at that time an anti-armour and possibly air defense weapon) and its .50 BMG cartridge for the long-range role might've been an alternative, but I suspect it would be a very costly one for the time.
      As for the conversion of the MG42 to the 7.65×53 mm, it would be pretty much the same as with the .30-06: both cartridges differ in both overall length and rim diameter when compared with the 7.92×57.

      @@F1ghteR41 I think the 7.65x53mm is good enough for long range MG fire. In performance and bullet mass it's quite similar to .303 British which is generally considered as sufficient for any MG use. The Belgian military in the 1920s and 1930s did not see any reason to replace the 7.65 cartridge as their medium MG cartridge. As for converting the MG42 it would've been much easier with the 7.65 cartridge as it's case was shorter (53mm) than the 7.92 Mauser cartridge case (57mm) unlike the .30-06 which had a longer 63mm case. There was not enough space on the MG42 receiver to cut a ejection port long enough for the .30-06 cartridge and that's the reason why the T24 project failed.

      @@hendriktonisson2915 The thing is, .303 Mk VII wasn't seen as a good enough round for MG role, hence why Mk VIIIz appeared, which was roughly 50 m/s faster than a boattail 7.65×53, with a slightly heavier bullet, resulting in ~469 J greater muzzle energy. Also, while the Belgians didn't see any need to switch to a ballistically superior cartridge, it wasn't the case for others. E.g. Turkey went to great lengths to convert their arsenal to 7.92×57 in the same period.
      As far as I'm aware, the ejection port is cut to the overall lenght of the cartridge (and with some room to spare over that), and in this regard .30-06 is only 3 mm longer than 7.92×57 despite having a 6 mm longer case. So this wouldn't be such a difficult task per se. And both with 7.65×53 & .30-06 you'd have to work with the bolt face and extractor, because both rounds have wider rims than 7.92×57, and then you'd have to tune the whole mechanism for the different cartridge, as was done with various 7.62×51 conversions later.

      @@F1ghteR41 The reason why the .303 Mk VIIIz was adopted was not because of the Mk VII being not sufficient enough during WW1. The thinking was rather: "Can we make it even better?" During the interwar years the US and France also improved their cartridges in use by adopting bullet designs similar to the Swiss 7.5mm GP11 cartridge.
      The other version of the story why the MG42 conversion to .30-06 failed is that the engineers just forgot to lengthen the ejection port for the .30-06 which I find rather unlikely. It seems more plausible that they could not lengthen the ejection port either because it would've made the receiver too fragile or because there was not enough receiver to work with and as it required too much work in the middle of a war to make the MG42 work reliably with the .30-06 the project was cancelled.

      @@hendriktonisson2915 The British just didn't have the funds at the time to make things even better. Thus they stuck with revolvers and didn't pay enough attention to the development of SMGs & semiauto rifles. Likewise bolt-action rifle development was stopped as soon as it progressed past iterative improvement over No. 1 rifle. The pressing matters, like an actually portable LMG, an anti-tank rifle or an infantry mortar, however, were all funded properly in the '30s, and I think Mk VIIIz falls in the same category. Basically, it was all about improving of the support arms.
      In regards to the T24 project, I'd like to remind you that the ejction port needs to be able to extract the round in case of failure to fire or any other reason to unload the gun, so given the overall lenght difference was only 3 mm, the conversion team might've considered .30-06 to be fitting within existing tolerances of the ejection port. In doing so they might have misjudged the trajectory of the case being extracted with a very high rate of fire, which MG.42 is infamous for. In my humble opinion, one shouldn't find it terribly surprising, considering the following development history of the M60.
