  • The blond needs to get featured more !

  • These were not built 'under license at the Frankford Arsenal' they were built at Springfield Armory MA. Frankford Arsenal built ammo.

    And yes, Skamsleinen, Ole Hermann Johannes Krag was Norwegian and not Danish though Denmark was the first nation to adopt the Krag design for its military in 1889. Norway adopted the M1894 Krag in 6.5X55mm in 1894-95 and the US adopted the Krag formally in 1892 but production wasn't begun till 1894. These guys get the history mostly right but not everything.

  • @ketoujin Norway didn't adopt it, they made it

  • @callofdutyguy9 Do you know of any video of that rifle anywhere (1895 Lee) ?

  • You should feature the USMC Winchester 6MM Lee Navy M1895 Straight Pull

  • The Spanish weren't using 1891 Mausers. That rifle was sold to Argentina, and chambered inr 7.65mm. The Spanish used both 1893 and 1895 Mausers, chambered in 7x57mm.

  • @gorozon I think it was the range of the 7mm Mauser round that was out classing the 30-40US, not the rifle or action. but I could be wrong

  • a weapons expert? it isnt multi shot einstein

  • DUMB BLONDE "IS IT LOADED"???

  • KRAG IS NOT A DANISH DESIGNER HE IS NORWEGIAN! FUU** U NOOB!
