There are some Swiss ones in the US, they command a bit of a premium because they aren't common here. Roughly $1,200 to $1700 last I looked, even for ones with a rough exterior. (Most I've seen are a bit worn)

beautiful analysis and presentation. thank you! They are fascinating rifles, almost a piece of the history of the great Swiss gunsmith who produced and customized them to measure (I believe with raw parts purchased from Hammerli & Hausch) for the great Swiss shooters.. The Swiss national shooting team, dominant at 300 meters in many competitions at the beginning of the last century with these beautiful rifles including the 1900 Paris Olympics with Staheli world champion (his Stutzer Martini are preserved in the shooting museum in Bern)

saw one on a rack at a night shooting competition, the fact they're still used is impressive af, love the decorated stocks too

F I R S T I saw the xeet so I came running

finally, the hand deleter mk1

What brand of sharps is this? Pedersoli, garret?

WHERE IS YOUR EYE PROTECTION

THAT LOOKS SICK!!

The nikki montage 👌👌👌

Nice video! Too bad none of these come up on Gunbroker and when I did a Google search the first page was just weird .ch websites that I didn't want to click on. I like single shots and if I could get something functional for relatively cheap I'd be sure interested.

Just to add a few points: I'm gonna do this mad minute with this rifle again pretty soon. There's room for improvements because I move the rifle too much between reloads and leaving the bandoleer and box of ammo near me was confusing as I got ammo from both places. Also using the set trigger slows me down a lot but as mentioned in the edit, I'm quite dumb so there you go. Next time I do it I'll work on keeping the rifle in my shoulder more, use the (very heavy) front trigger and place my ammo very close to my right hand. I believe that with a better setup and some training I could reach 13-14 rounds a minute. So stay tuned for that But this was my first Mad Minute and I'm happy I did it , I learned new things and I'll get the opportunity to apply those lessons and improve. We keep pushing. Love you all, don't forget to pet dogs and drink water !

You can't put a tourniquet on a gooch.

Well done on showing how you make the paper cartridges for your Sharps. I recently purchased an original Model 1869 Sharps. Now Sharps never actually put the model name/number on any of their rifles except the 1869 or 1863 . . They called the latest version which began production in 1874. It was the public and the catologue which mentions 1874 model of which came in many configurations and calibers. Sharps started chambering the 1874 in 45-70 that year and produced 45-90 45-100 . Prior to that the most made chambering was the 44-77. The one I bought is a " 1874 model" chambered in 45-70 made in 1877. I also got at the same time an original Springfield Trapdoor in 45-70. The markings on this gun date it to 1873- 74. Both are off to a gunsmith who works mostly on single shot rifles to be looked at for safety and then be in firing condidtion. I also have 2 1885 High walls in 45-70 one winchester one Browning. They both shoot 5 shot cloverleafs at 100 yds. I will look for some more of your videos. For your additional information the Buffalo rifles made by Sharps weighed 14 to 16 pounds some more. The one I have is the Hunter model with octangonal barrel 30 inches weighing 10.5 pounds with double set triggers. I live in Canada and will have no problem shooting Moose, Elk, Bear, Whitetail deer or Bison if I so choose.

Niki goes brrrrrrr

Be careful when it is holstered

My son has Chinese SKS factor code 26 made in 1979 with 30 military surplus mix strips including BXN and chines.

C'est le fameux calibre obligatoire pour chasser dans les Grisons.

Tellement cool ce k31 je trouve maintenant ma ruger scout ennuyeuse 😅

I've had for 7 months and keep it on lock 1 with no problems. Using it this way the burn risk is avoided but downside is need for double press and ~3/4 sec delay to turn on. This is a reasonable trade-off for me as the security feature of instant-on strobe and flat form factor are main reasons I chose. The unit also appears to be well-made. So far I've been pleased with the purchase. I saw a video indicating a new version with some improvements is coming or just released, as well as a slightly scaled-down model with reduced cost (EDC 25).

Due to how our gun laws work, we can have pretty much any semi-auto Uzi we want in the states, but the ATF banned open bolt Semi-autos years ago, due to how simple they are to convert back. ;) Semi-auto Uzi's in the United States all use the Mini Uzi striker system to fire from a closed bolt.

I have a AR-10 in .308 16" pencil profile barrel and put a Primary Arms 3x Prism on it

Very nice video thank you I have a full auto. I didn’t know they had open bolt semi’s

WE LOVE NIKI ❤️

Hello from New Zealand. Thanks for sharing your experiences with this iconic rifle design

It is your rifle; it is not a holy relic. Some people would rather you left it in original condition and let it rust in a closet for the next 30 years. The way it is now, you're probably shooting it and giving it a new life. Those people should go buy a rifle and do that to it, and not concern themselves with what other people do with their own property. Obviously, if the rifle had historical significance that would be different.

Oh my God! This is the sickest scout rifle I’ve ever seen! I want this. The quality looks ridiculously amazing. Beautiful gun

Great video and firearm

First and based

Oh man that's sweet

NIKI❤❤❤❤

I'm here to boost the algorithm and see cool guns and my bud

Very cool

Absolutely awesome and EXTREMELY PRACTICAL. Probably the best scout rifle build I have ever seen. I wish I thought of that. Had no idea magazines were still made for them. Definitely inspired me to start looking for one now lol Thanks. K31s are scary accurate and fast 😳

Great song choice

That is NOT a revolver.

Vraiment beau la Suisse !

Magnifique custom ! Vraiment la classe pour la chasse !

Love this song

YAAAAAAASSSS

My SKS in dayZ with two damaged, 3 badly damaged, two tracers, and 3 worm rounds in it be like

Of course it works all Russian Ww era guns had to take all ammo from pistols to carbined ( the sks is the only one that can do this)

Chapeau!

Ahh a hood load

Spicy 10 peice u got a sub 🔥

The russia ukraine conflict loadout (both sodes)

It worksss

Excellent!

In canada we got a big batch of much newer production chinese SKS and they're doing quite well

There are people who think that a self loading rifle, designed for overgassed ammo... might not like mixed overgassed ammo? I'm really confused where the impression came from for these folks. Looking forward to what you'll do with your channel! Found my way here over Bloke.
