Just to be clear: The "Shotgun Series" is still on hold for lack of time and funding as YT has severely curtailed channel growth. Also that was always going to be about repeating, magazine shotguns. This is a unique martial shotgun in line with our usual Primer topics. Just like the Winchester 97 and Remington 10.

Behind my bedroom door, an unidentified antique shotgun has sat for a decade, gathering dust. A contained within a old leather scabbard with cross body straps. I had never seen a lever on the side of a shotgun like this and I assumed it was broken. Today I found this video and have finally identified the shotgun. I even learned about the cocking mechanism. This has made my day. Thank you.

@Telamon8 Жыл бұрын
My great grandpa had an even cheaper clone of this shotgun, and it got passed along to my hands, and yeah that thing got ran hard in its heyday. That particular one was ran over when it fell off of his tractor as he was driving along, but he nailed the butt stock back together and hammered the barrel to be "more-or-less" straight and continued using it, because he was a farmer and wasn't about to throw away what little money he had on a replacement if he didn't absolutely need to. It still shoots, surprisingly. Every single shot goes left, and it's incredibly wobbly, and I was and still am a bit skeptical to shoot it because of how ratty it is, but it sends 20ga birdshot in "more-or-less" the direction that it's pointed.

Interesting. I own the companion 1894 double Damascus barrel model bought when I was 14 years old for $15. I handloaded black powder shells and used it Pigeon hunting. There was another 1894 Remington double there for $35 in perfect condition (mine was worn) with pretty wood and light engraving. I really wanted it, but $35 was out of my price range.

A tip on mounting a shotgun. Human faces are distinctly pointy. As a result if you rotate your head against the stock to bring you nose closer to the stock you will move your eye into the centerline of the barrel. The reason the gun shot to the left is not a fault of the gun, it shot left because your mount and you had your face squared up with your right eye offset left of the barrel centerline. If you want to see this in action find a friend with a Sporting O/U setup with a mid bead sight system you can see the result as you roll your face against the stock. Because you will see that the alignment between the mid and front beads is dependent on the position of your face.

"By the way I cut my hand . . ."; did you spray Ballistol on that, too? When it was issued to German troops, it was as a light-duty first aid for cuts and scrapes, in addition to its use on lock, stock & barrel. I looked on Amazon, and see current versions of Ballistol for sporting goods, for first aid, and to keep your pet's fur coat smooth and glossy.

Presently we have some loan offers, BUT In order to do that special we will need: 1. Secure a lens set for the Gallilean that won't just break 2. Send Mae for long range shooting training 3. Develop match loads for each rifle to be demonstrated 4. Take in loans of the rifles with working glass, becoming financially responsible for said scopes which are scarily likely to break internally at random. This was a LOT easier when the show's budget was nearly 30% bigger. But the YT crush has severely hobbled us. We're shrinking, not growing right now.

In Viet Nam, 12 gauge pumps were fairly common, but not on the books. The dense jungle patrol often had 1 or 2 per squad, but they would also sling an M-16 for show. When units rotated out, the shotguns were left (well, actually traded) to the new units. The old service sergeants had a big hand in it.

I use shot cups with my black powder cartridge shotguns, the combination of black powder and shot cup gives superb patterns, better then a lot of smokeless loads. I also don't shoot them in really nice vintage shotguns, but I have had to restore to shooting conditions. As far as the transition from the shotgun to the rifle, I would of had a few rifles per squad and the rest shotguns, like a modern squad with a Saw. I don't see a lot of long range in a jungle shooting, but a few rifles per squad would keep you from being pinned down and maybe force them to either leave or charge, the the shotguns could be brought to bear. In thick brush, the opposite would happen, where the shotgun would shine and the rifle would most probably be ineffective except with a bayonet. Just my two cents. You could also have a rifle and pistol combo to be effective also. I can't remember, what they ended up doing off hand. Nice video as always.
