Honesty, looking back on the Primers going back to the beginning, I think only the Berthier really requires a revisit at this point. The show hit its stride so quickly that even the early .32 ACP episodes really hit the mark on showing how they were special and different weapons. Definitely a credit to the show that its early work needs so little revision after all this time.

@jabaier2 4 жыл бұрын

@@jabaier2 Fingers crossed, Othais will be able to carry through on his plan to revisit many of these weapons in new series beyond Primer. I would love to see more on how the Savage came about and went on to be the icon we both clearly admire. However, as much as I love the Savage, the Primer on it really did fit the gun's role as a unique but not exceptional .32 ACP pocketpistol thrown into the war out of desperation. That is why I really think only the Berthier requires the WW1-centric Primer being redone because its enormous significance in the Great War for France and many others.

Langevizier means long sight. My Berliner father-in-law (fought in ww2) said he would rather have walked back from the Ural mountains in Russia with a GEW. 98 than a K98k. When I asked why he said that they would shoot farther. I called bs, but at that point in the nineties he was kinda crazy. He still had a piece of grenade and a 762x25 bullet in his head.and apparently according to my mother-in-law a couple on his ass. Oh, and he did make that little hike from the Urals only to be caught by the Soviets in Berlin, his home town.

"The Man in the Black Fur Coat" tells a very similar story. Pretending to be a Pole in a Russian POW camp. He skirted a lot of patrols, told a bunch of fibs, and wound up back home, but his hometown was crawling with Soviets and informants, so he lived a good ways out of town in a barn. He would sleep in the day and conduct various forays at night to find as much food as he could. As many, his life immediately after the war was as treacherous as during. I was talking to my wife about what Berliners are like- that world famous black humor and temperance for social convention. Berliners set apart from the rest as perhaps New Yorkers do in america

I'm a truly hardcore mauser phile. Although my 98k is mint and like new and crispy not even broke in and the safety is very stiff and clicky, I have at gun shows seen really well used 98 actions where the safety won't move like he mentioned. But that's only with really whooped examples. Did you know that if you hold the trigger down when you go to close the bolt the firing pin gently uncocks so you don't have to dry fire it to relax the spring.

You don't seem to mention that it is a three position safety? left - off, up - safe, right - safe and bolt locked When in use they could carry it in the up position and only have to slap it to the left to fire (also would block sights to remind to disengage), safe and bolt locked it more for when not in use (non combat activities such as travel).

Take down of the firing pin is best accomplished using the front hole in the trigger guard to depress the spring to remove the cocking piece. Later Mausers had a hole button in the stock for this purpose. This keeps you from bend or breaking the tip off the firing pin.

my First comment ever on one of your vids, love them so far. About the busy sight picture that is mentioned by Mae, I noticed that she closes her non aiming eye while shooting to take aim. In talking to my grand father (ww2 but besides the point) he told me once at a Shooting range, that the usual drill for military shooting was to keep both eyes open. Heard that even more while being in a shooting club for a little time. Maybe that would be something to look into, since I see a lot of americans on youtube closing their non aiming eye when shooting.

You know, I went back recently to the Mosin 1891 episode after getting a rather interesting example that went from Russian to German to Finnish hands and, of course had thing in my hands, when I thought back to this episode and tried something. It turns out, the Russian 91 with the large, exposed Konavalov sight and all of it's other oddities can match that Langevizier in one important aspect, the ability to juggle the sight detent buttons and 'walk' the range out, without having to look. You do have to lift the sight leaf to do it, but it can walk the range out using just the detent clicks, just like the Langevizier.

Mauser was the best designer for rifles at the time. Would he live in the present day and build weapons, the military would have the best rifle. The man was brilliant!

This is the only KZfaq series where I genuinely become excited about new episodes and I do recognize and appreciate your research but I think Lange is a conjugation of Lang which would make "Lange Vizier" translate to "Long Range" please let me know it you found otherwise though

Hey guys, just a heads up, the discord invite on CandRsenal website is expired. Great updated episode! I remember watching the original when it was released and it’s great to see it redone.

I stil hunt with a rifle that is a blue print copy of the 98 - made by Carl Gustaf here in Sweden. It was made in the 50's, chambered in 30-06. For hunting, its a beautifull smooth operating gun. The mechanism is like silk, and has fairly good precission in the normal distances for hunting. Just a fantastic rifle that has never failed me once in the 29 years I have owned it. I have newer guns, more fancy guns. But the CG is the thing that follow me when I am going out if I hunt anything larger then birds and hares.

One good thing with the saftey is that you can see if its safe with just a glance. There is no question what so ever if the saftey is flicked or not. When hunting, that is a good thing. It is clunky and not as easy to use as on some other guns, though. Sneaking the saftey off when an animal come close is kind of a let down.

Great video. I think you meant millimetres though, not centimetres, when you were talking about the gradient adjustment on the langevisier.

You say centimeters when you mean millimeters talking about how much the sight adjustment buttons stick out.

The Finnish sights on their mosins do that sight adjustment with 25m increments, on the left side, and the main adjustments on the right side, while still being more compact and having a better sight picture.
