Minor nitpick, when talking about the Ottoman rifles, shouldn't they be referred to more properly as Peabody-Martini or Peabody-Martini-Henry?

2021-03-20 05:31:46 +0000 UTCWould anyone happen to know where I could find a bolt for one of these? It sucks having the rifle but no bolt

2021-03-19 06:36:30 +0000 UTCOooh... upcoming Martini-Henry episode... Noice 😉 Sorta goes with the Berdan. Khyber Pass, and all that rot.

2021-03-18 06:24:05 +0000 UTCI guess Mae technically didn’t shoot the single-shot Vetterli, but it’s another very early bolt action y’all ha e experience with (and as I sit here watching the Vetterli episode, it DOES seem very modern compared to the locked-on-the-bolt-handle Berdan, Gew71, and Gras).

2021-03-16 17:02:10 +0000 UTCI love this era of history. I highly recommend Edvard Radzinsky's biography on Tsar Alexander II.

2021-03-16 15:57:14 +0000 UTCTrouble is it will be mis-pronounced like the Arisaka

2021-03-16 10:16:58 +0000 UTC1st Mosin appearance - 91/30 2nd Mosin appearance - 91 dragoon (Post 1907 spitzer sights) I swear I want to send him photos of a pre-spitzer 1891 infantry rifle.

2021-03-16 10:16:41 +0000 UTCIt proved a difficult endeavor. We went through 2 rifles, 3 versions of the cartridge, and about 8 books worth of reading.

2021-03-16 10:15:42 +0000 UTCThat's going to be my sporterized Arisaka
C&Rsenal
2021-03-16 10:14:55 +0000 UTCI will endeavor to remember. I'll probably still mess it up.

2021-03-16 10:14:31 +0000 UTCYall forgot the Gras 74
Jonathan
2021-03-16 06:45:14 +0000 UTCLove to know what ya'll did for the ammo from start to finish. Thanks G.

2021-03-16 05:14:11 +0000 UTCI find this episode very amusing. I'm watching the anime Golden Kamuy and Berdan 2's are showing up in that show now that the characters are in Imperial Russia.

2021-03-16 04:38:27 +0000 UTCMy god, I've been waiting for the Berdan episode FOR-EV-ER. I thought you guys gave up or something.

2021-03-16 03:22:16 +0000 UTCThats an awsome name. Othaisaka
Gage
2021-03-16 02:50:25 +0000 UTCBets the sub-2000 gets renamed the Othaiska. Also y'all've shot the gras
David Herman
2021-03-16 01:01:18 +0000 UTCone small note - in russian "ch" ("ч") is pronounced "ʧ", as in "check", rather than "k", as in "chaos". Not trying to nitpick - just seeing how you go as far as refer to people by their full name (including patronymic) and pronounce them really well, figured you may be interested. PS: love the modified posters with names of rifles in the center!
