120 YEARS OLD SCHWARZLOSE M 1898: Part2. Overview. Field strip

Andreas Wilhelm Schwarzlose I consider one of the most brilliant gun inventors and builders.
His pistols apparently were not popular in his time. They were eclipsed by Mauser c96 and Luger. But they are now- undiscovered jewels.
To me Schwarzlose 1898 pistol is one of the most beautiful and mechanically rich gun designs ever.
I have been waiting to find one… I am aware of about 30 in the western world. And when opportunity presented - I took it, because perhaps it happens only once in a lifetime.
I got me one of the most rare of them. Extended capacity: 8+ 1. And in excellent condition.
Collectors don’t shoot guns like this…. I am not that kind of collector. A great Violine must sing.
I will explore it in details in the next videos, make sure it’s still mechanically sound and capable and I will try to shoot it using the most soft 7.63 x25 Mauser ammo.
Thanks and please enjoy with me.

Yes. And it deserves more recognition. Thanks

A masterpiece from the past! Many engineers stole from this weapon. I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes when I saw this weapon for the first time. This weapon was decades ahead of its time.

Thank you kindly. I have great respect for JM Browning, but Andreas Achwarzlose to me was not less creative or talented but he was not as business and marketing savvy. Thus he probably didn’ t enter the hall of fame as much as he should have. Although is machine gun was quite successful. Still. Not many people know that name….it’s a shame. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Ian from the Forgotten Weapons who got me addicted to this obscure gun maker. I want people to see and appreciate the beauty of his creations. Please see the rest of my short videos on the subject. Enjoy.

Здравствуйте! Да Он Же Полностью Фрезерованый.Дорог в Производстве ❤!

[@STEINBVG]

Дорого. Но вариантов не было в конце 19 века. Его делали так же Лугер. На ручной фрезе. Потом собирали из наиболее гладко подходящих деталей, потом каждую деталь маркировали серийным №, потом закаляли, потом воронили.

It's both a huge and slender handgun. The external striker fire instead of a hammer fire system is novel. The bolt appears to be lugged, is it a rotating bolt design? If it is a rotating bolt with an external striker fire it would be similar to a Swiss straight pull bolt design. Probably designed about the same period?

[@STEINBVG]

Yes, rotating bolt , 4 lugs. I will show it in details. There,s a 3 d video of it , x ray views . Check it out. It,s actually very comfortable in my small hands and very light, feels like a target pistol.

Nice post brother. We were all thinking the same thing about a rotating bolt. Great to hear our lad is going to do this review again with bolt details. I think it makes it a very special design. One could scale it up/down as NEEDED. Thanks to V.S. too. We really love your work mate. 10/10

[@STEINBVG]

Thanks man. I just need to set myself up with a better lighting. I will try to make the most detailed presentation of this incredible mechanism
