YT was auto resetting videos as of late for no comments. It may or may not stay reverted but it appears to be an error they had with uploads that week.

2024-04-29 15:09:53 +0000 UTCAt around 38:20 you talk about the serial numbers being in blocks of 10,000 with a prefix but the graphic you show has them counting up in blocks of 1,000 with a prefix.

2024-04-27 03:19:35 +0000 UTCPretty sure I saw these for sale in a Sportsman's Guide catalog a few decades back, no paperwork required. Should've bought one.

2024-04-25 02:28:50 +0000 UTCRight about the 7 minute mark, wrt "Emil Koerner" (sorry, don't have Key Caps on this WinBlows machine to get the umlaut) you should be pronouncing like "kerner" [said with a smile, as my old German prof taught!] not like "corner" (sic.)

2024-04-24 20:18:00 +0000 UTCThe South American arms races are fascinating , the build up in their Navies was equally intense . Can't wait till Mauser hits 1898 and realises length is overated .

2024-04-24 07:50:02 +0000 UTCAll good with the clarification regarding Jack's comment above. Also, how long did Chile keep them in service? I have an 1895 and would like to know how long they were active and if we have any dates regarding serial numbers.

2024-04-24 05:35:22 +0000 UTCif you go 'oldgunshow.com", under Primer Gallery, there is a list of most of the Primer episodes. It is by year and country, so it should not be too hard to pick out the ones you want.

2024-04-23 16:09:50 +0000 UTCWeird, must be a new auto-pre-setting, YT loves doing that with no warning. All fixed!

2024-04-23 15:00:03 +0000 UTCGreat review as always! Interesting how 100+ years later we coming back to the 6.5mm "sweet spot" for ballistics.

2024-04-23 14:35:07 +0000 UTCKeep up the great work guys. I also am looking forward to the next episode on the Chilean short rifle and carbines. I have a turn down bolt short rifle that I acquired to pair with my 1891 Argentine. You guys are a wealth of information, and I love watching your videos and listening to your banter. I watched all six + hours of your Q &A (happy to have had one of my questions answered) and listen to all of your podcasts. Look forward to seeing more of your great content. Keep it up! Be well and stay safe. Cheers! Si vis pacem, para bellum

2024-04-23 13:36:32 +0000 UTCIs there a reason the comments are turned off on the YouTube version? Just wondering if you guys knew is all

2024-04-23 12:47:17 +0000 UTCI’m sure that I’m missing something obvious here but, how did the Chileans adopting their rifle chambered in 7.65 mean that they’d be able to use Argentine ammunition but not the other way around? Or were they adopting a different 7.65mm round with differing dimensions? It’s probably me but I wasn’t clear on that point.

2024-04-23 12:36:53 +0000 UTCI finally bought some ballistol for rust control on older tools. Was surprised to see that 90% water + 10% ballistol is a cutting fluid.
Andrew Smelser
2024-04-23 10:22:22 +0000 UTCGreat, as always! Are you also going to talk about the Chilean short Rifle and Carbine later? I have a short rifle with the Lowe receiver markings, so I assume that means it was manufactured in 1895 or '96. It is close to the post WWI 24" "standard", but is about 3" shorter. Very handy. I'm also curious as to the relationship with the Boer contract rifles and short rifles.
