Lol thats the most accurate description of this thing🤟🤘🤙👍

Man were those the days lol

Looks like Lego frontier town come to life. Can anybody point out the portal they came out of? I think I will go through.

That's a weird sentence.

The most gun like gun in history

Picturing the sand people here....

Or in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom - series of novels.

@@onsesejoo2605 Ah! Truly a man of culture!

@Roderick storey At the same time, this would not look too weird in the 17th century.

"Lever action sten" sounds astonishingly cursed.

Tuche!

@@steirqwe7956 I have a feeling someone is going to bubba a sten now

I have a h&r 20ga topper and they really are simple guns, sometimes a tube is all you need

@@elmerjfapp5730 I used to hunt with a borrowed 20gauge double barreled shotgun made by H&R. Circa 1976. That's all that was needed. H&R made many simple, very affordable firearms, from revolvers to shotguns to rifles. My grampa, born and raised on an Indian reservation in northern Idaho, back about 1912 onward, starting when he was six, would go out hunting black tailed (jack) rabbits with a single shot .22 rifle and .22 Short ammunition. I'm sure back then law enforcement didn't care since his dad was the deputy sheriff and Indian agent on the reservation, lol! Final conversation I had with my grandfather was how to hunt and aim when hunting black tailed rabbits! Some of his last memories in an exciting and productive life (I was his favorite grandson, no hiding it). Shoot on the downward arch, BTW. A gun matters less the more courage in a man.

Slap a sub 150$ price tag on in and offer it in multiple calibers and I’m sure it would do well today

@@DeeDee-bm9hr if it was below 150$ I would hope there’s no laws against amassing weapons

@@DeeDee-bm9hr agreed; it'd need a lighter barrel and some fixes to the locking mechanism, but there's a helluva market for something like this, especially if marketed with newer and/or younger shooters in mind.

@@DeeDee-bm9hr looks like a great candidate for 3D printing ;)

@@DeeDee-bm9hr so basically something like Baikal MP-18 :-)

Does he still have it

@@bluffkirschman599 Grandpa Schreiber passed away back 1957. His house is gone, the barn is gone & the foundation filled in. Almost everything he had at his passing is gone. And then my sister stole my collection of Morgan silver dollars that I got from him decades ago. So no, that piece ain't around any more.

I'm sorry to hear that. I also got my grandfather's gun collection stolen out from under me. My uncle took them and sold them all. He had some pretty neat pieces in his collection too.

@@haramanggapuja sorry to hear that.

I wonder if it can fire out of battery if you close it too forcefully, considering how the firing pin is exposed and pressed against the cartridge as you're closing it.

or 16th-17th century arquebus.

I trust my fingersm nevermind

Im pretty sure my 90yo granny could hold that closed if it was only .44 Henry

It reminded me of a Jezail too

That's what she said

yes it is, It has a beautiful line to it.

Waking up to a really odd forgotten weapons vid

Maybe your still asleep and the gun was just a dream....

@Stupid Bitch reach under your bed and pull your full auto fg42 and your Beretta 96......if that worked your still dreaming

It helps get me moving.

wow

I tried that once... I wound up with a 1911A1 shoved up my nose. 10/10 would recommend to a friend (then post the resulting video on YT)

@@henryrodgers7386 honestly, fair reaction..

@@henryrodgers7386 bit to young (don’t say that about a 1911 to often) to be a cowboy gun but he did draw it pretty quick

Deeeeeez

Deeeeeez

I’d like to see a modernized version of this thats takedown with a fluted or light barrel Ultra tiny survival rifle

Yeah, but, centerfire with an improved locking system. Bet it would be fun in a 9mm.

Yeah, it’s a zip gun.

@@TheSchmed go google zip gun

@@timbaskett6299 if the barrel was kept the same thickness on a reproduction you could probably chamber it for some rifle cartridges too!

It looks like ⚡ yes.

No it doesn't...

IKR, its literely the first thing that comes to mind when you see it sitting on the table lol. Especially with that stock also having sharp edges just like a bolt really fitting name indeed!

As Ian was saying he has no idea where the name came from, I was thinking, the shape of the gun is perfect.

@@cooliobob1274 I noticed it before reading the comment, so I’d say it does ;)

It is pretty neat!

I've been looking into picking up hunting recently, and by far the coolest gun I can think of going hunting would be a modern take on the single shot breech loader. The simplicity, the absolute demand of good accuracy, the lightness of the gun, it really appeals to me. It helps that the laws where I'm at limits hunting rifles to be 4+1 capacity, so having to fill the gun with a magazine and bolt or automatic action is mostly excessive weight and engineering. Give me an elegant single shot gun.

Absolutely Steam Punk........ I'm fairly certain I saw this in a Wild Wild West show in the 60s....

I'm certain a great many of us amateur and professional machinists are looking at a lot of the stuff here and going "hmmm... how do I set up my machines to make one of those?" I know I do.

I know it's a joke, but I will never miss an opportunity to blab about something I've really studied. There was a wide variety of guns at the Battle of Greasy Grass. The soldiers mostly had 1873 springfield carbines and revolvers, but some of them (esp officers) had some personal rifles (Sharps, custom built officer's Springfields). Scouts working for the US Army had a variety of guns including some lever actions. The Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho had everything from hammers, axes, lances, muzzleloaders, lever actions, and some well-earned 1873 Springfields. You've got everything from cutting edge lever action tech to bows and muzzleloaders, but the really wild thing is that they all have some big advantages in different ways. Springfields and sharps had great range and stopping power, lever actions brought an incredible rate of fire, bows and muzzleloaders were easier to resupply when you were far from any traders (some said they'd just use less gunpowder per shot if they were running low on powder). As for lances and hammers and such, they work pretty well from horseback when the soldiers fled the field.

@@itsmannertime Muzzleloaders are capable of knockdown without ball or powder. That heavy barrel could do it too.

I have one of those and was struck by the similarity. I love how it handles and think it would be fun to recreate this design with a bit of improvement on the breech-lock. Maybe in .45 Colt.

it would be a broom in an ancap version of harry potter

Quidditch just got more interesting

He'll be proper screwed. Because the only time that happened to me, I watched forgotten weapons to see how to put it back together!

I forget what gun it was but it was at the Cody museum where Ian couldn't figure out how to take a gun apart that was broken and he accidentally fixed it.
