@triplejacked It is not that uncommon, in the US its 1889, anything after that isnt an antique.

For the UK it has to meet two criteria to be a Sec 58(2) firearm, Made pre 1939 and of an obsolete calibre (not commercially made/easy to obtain. he government publishes a list of caliber's every f...

@robes08 How do you take care of em? Im still getting into this and dont want to ruin anything

@murpheysmuskets lol I never heard that myth until I started browsing US gun forums. Not sure how it came around, You never hear it in the UK. Its on my to get list as its a antique/obsolete so I can own it live with no license as a wall-hanger until I get my gun license.

The bayonet for these t...

@triplejacked its not the dishes, its the portions you serve them up it is the problem.

@nzww2buff The only reason I know is I asked a friend he has written books on the .303 calibre, Drop me a PM and I could sort out a copy if you are interested.

@F4Wildcat I've read that some Doughboys were armed with Krag rifles being the lines to free up M1917 and M1903s as they didn't have enough for front line troops. Most US soldiers were armed with the M1917 anyway as there wasn't enough M1903s in reserve

I wish it was more common in the UK, not that many stores carry it, in the import stores its damned expensive

If you want some Cadburys chocolate, send me a PM jeff, I'll gladly send you some

Hitler's War by Heinz Magenheimer is quite good, bit of a dry read though. Its an analysis of Hitler's key strategic decisions and where they went wrong... It borders on the 'what if' history some times. Though it does given an insight into the workings of the OKW and their tactical planning

I think the Third Reich would have been much better off not issuing these and putting the money into other things, seems like they spent probably millions of RM's and Tons of steel on all this aesthetic stuff when there was a war on.

I still have nightmares about cleaning mine

The Mark IV Martini was never intended to be in 577/450, it was originally a Enfield-Martini in .402 caliber a new round developed by Enfield. Due to logistics of issuing a new caliber and as the Lee Metford was being trailed it never happened so the...

Nice use of the Mametz Wood dragon there..

The allies landing would have also been against some Soviet fierarms.

The some Osttruppen units in France were equipped with Russian Maxims.

I think he took inspiration from the 9th Royal Welsh fusiliers Cledd trench knife from ww1

Wow, someone shoot the researchers, some of the Info is shocking

1) its 8mm Lebel, not 8.5mm Labelle

2) Chauchats effective range is well over 250 yards, its more like over 1000. Its not a weak round like the 5.56mm its a old school battle rifle round.

3) the 30-06 when ww1 started wasnt a boat ...

@nick21sammy Really? that goes against what KiwitedFerny said about NZ gunlaws...

If its been delisted, it wont be on the shelf plans but it might be on the order inventory, I work in a store in the UK and I do custom orders for things we don't sell like that all the time

Reminds me of the British Webley revolver

@gusswilliams Its let down by its magazines and thats it. There isnt many parts to go wrong in one, its either FTF or FTE. It was designed to be easy to make, a guy with a tool shop could make one in a few hours, it was a gun to quickly replace what was lost at Dunkirk.

'brits couldn't even do...

I know you said the US, but in the UK Birmingham Uni has a great military history degree,

When Americans call a rifle a carbean... nope its carbine.... power stations dont have turbeens they have turbines.

The marlin spike was mainly there for untying light knots mostly

Yep, Im in the UK and I had a MkIV Martini Henry shipped here,

I don't even need a license as its classed as an antique/obsolete calibre. We have a list of calibers that are no longer commercially available or outdated and if its made pre 1930 and in any calibre on the list, I can buy it with no ...

@CanadianGuerrilla Carter and Edwards it sounded like

@neighbour666 We can have firearms...bolt actions and shotguns, plus black powder weapons, even long barreled revolvers...just have to apply for the licence and join a gun club and get a variation on the firearms license for that calibre

Whats New Zealand's law regarding dug ups/ relic weapons? I saw in another video you eyeing them up in France.
