Afghan Martini Carbines: The Kabul Arsenal

[@karlp8484]

My Father had a Martini Henry, the middle one in your video. Picked it up in Pakistan in the late 70's. But the reason why I comment: A lot of the rifles (including ours) were subsequently elabourately decorated with silver wire around the barrel and forestock and the metalwork was etched/ punched with additional Arabic writings. Apart from the fact it was filthy when he brought it back, it cleaned up beautifully and looked like a piece of artwork. I think it was a tribal gun which was passed down over the generations.

[@Mega00112233]

hahahahah it is a custom here to decorate Guns, People even hangs flowers to AKs sling,

[@speckledjim5402]

Ian, I've seen the letters above the stamp on a lot of the .303 carbines around that 1300 date. I believe they are the individual letters "F"(Right) and "H"(Left). You are correct about the script under the stamp. It's old Persian and says "Jangalak Factory" or "Made at Jangalak Factory". You used to see a fair amount of these in the Bazaars around Kabul.

[@tbrowniscool]

Im still crying inside that BF1 nerfed the glorious Martini Henry. Damn you dice we could have been together forever.

[@heccatia]

It was a bug fix not a nerf.

[@Sparrowtalon]

It was a nerf that DICE disguised as a 'bug fix' so people wouldn't be as salty about it.

[@tbrowniscool]

Marauder Shields exactly. It was so fun but hard to use. Good memories

[@heccatia]

Marauder Shields​​ It's a bug fix, as no other sniper rifle on the game one shot kills in ss range on areas of the that body that aren't the upper torso. It rewards good aim on the relevant engagement ranges

[@Sparrowtalon]

So, why use the Martini-Henry? Every other weapon has a quicker fire rate and can easily follow up shots that don't insta-kill. The weapon is just too slow, too useless. Only use I've found for it is to use it to get pistol kills as I'm forced to follow up all my shots with a pistol clip.

[@fibrewire08]

[@adrienperie6119]

I actually saw one when I went to Egypt, during one of the dozen government military checkpoint stops as we made our way from the coast to Cairo through the desert. All the soldiers had Russian AKM's and two of them were checking out what I thought at the time was just an old British gun, or some American lever action (1896) they had gotten their hands on somehow. Those of us who hadn't seen them got a good sphincter exercise when they fired at an empty suitcase on a wood crate out in the sand since we had been stopped for an unusually long time. Now I'm pretty certain it was one of these so thank you for this video, because their little improvised shooting range in the middle of the desert is a great memory of a trip in a country that has badly suffered from awful US government agencies who support, train and equip terrorists who take over countries either by civilian or military action. The beauty of the pyramids is in sharp contrast to what happens there today.

[@tombogan03884]

The Egyptian Govt hasn't been Russian backed since Sadat threw them out in te 1970's

[@tombogan03884]

Egypt was a US client from the time Sadat signed the Camp David accords. Mubarak was Sadat's VP and designated successor.

Hey you guys! Stop goofin' around and tryin' to out-do each other with your respective versions of the 'troof'! It's LOVE and FRIENDSHIP that makes the world go round. Each of us (from the Middle Class Capitalist West...to the Classless Communist East) have far, far, far, far, far more in common with each other than ANY of us have with those that wish to have power over us, brainwash us, indoctrinate us and get us all to do their bidding!! Having lived and worked across the Globe all I can say is that most people are nice and friendly...but those that are infused and motivated by both greed and/or religion are what cause all of the world's ills. Both greed and religion enable bad people to acquire power...and power corrupts. Let's all just 'man-up' and give each other huge hugs and get along and have a good laugh! We're all on this planet just once...so let's all stop being d*cks! :D

[@DaraEhteshamzadeh]

As a Persian speaker, I agree with previous posters that the carved letters above the factory seal are probably initials reading either F.H. or F.M. depending on how bad the person's handwriting was. As for the the block printed brand below the seal, sadly those letters are both really poorly spaced and very stylized so I can barely make it out by reading one by itself, looking at those repetitions together it seems you are right. If your pronunciation of jangalak is at all close, then the inscription reads "kargah-e-Jangalak." It could also be GahGah, the place place, or the place of fornication, but I doubt it :) Name of the arsenal means "little forest workshop" as Kargah means worshop or factory. Jangal means forest or jungle and "ak" is a diminutive suffix. As Arabic letters are written with particular patterns of joining depending on their position in a word, arabic printing took awhile to get off the ground. As for the two marks on the knocks form you are unfortunately holding it upside down, one row is the number 17539 The word below, "ijrht" is a nonsense word whose letters correspond with each integer. Digging through some arabic language sites I found that this SEEMS... my arabic sucks so I repeat SEEMS to be a charm of sorts as what I was able dig up points to this being a part of the Arabic writings of a Qaderriya Sufi sect that was present in Afghanistan at this time. I have no reputable sources to back this up, just wikipedia, a bunch of arabic language forums on mysticism, and the help of google translate, but if I'm right, it's a spell of lucky numbers to bless the weapon. You'll need to speak to a scholar on Persian arms and armour to verify any of this though. Talk to Matt Easton of the Scholiagladiatoria channel, he's done some videos on swords and knives contemporary with these guns and has some connections with the right academics for the job.

[@beargillium2369]

Thank you for the knowledge and research, very interesting stuff! Many years later I wonder if you have gained any more insight?

[@matthewrutherford6164]

Now I want to see a mud test over these rifles they seem very well made and put together

[@michaeladrianwright]

A friend of mine told me that the symbol at 8:04 reads as fahah or fahai in Arabic or Persian but he doesn't know what the word means, hope that helps. He also told me that the markings at 9:30 say 17531 and jazatt or ajazatt.

[@gamesbok]

The translation of the Afghan inscription on the receiver is 'There are at least 20 people watching me as I inscribe this receiver. They think it's a proof mark. It's not'

[@Sunfade38]

Cute rifles. Must be ridiculously rare. Oh that inscription at 8:00 says bergmann.

[@jgallows777]

this is a bit of a wild suggestion, but back in 2012, I visited the Venetian museum in Italy, and there is an entire section devoted to their weapons, including some unique firearms (some wheel locks, perhaps?) I'm sure that would be a long shot to acquire permission from them to look over them, but would be interesting none the less.

[@batoorkotwal2532]

I brought a couple of these to the US from Afghanistan back in 2011 when I was deployed. Very useful and accurate information, thank you!

[@timothyshaner8926]

I happen to have one of the Kabul Arsenal Martini Carbines. It has the old style stock with the sling swivel at the bottom of the stock, but the newer symbol (mosque in a star). It is also in .303. I've shot it with low-power .303 handloads and it actually shoots quite well.

The inscription on the gun you asked about are the the letters fey and hey which are roughly equivalent to F and H. Seems like initials of some kind but thats about all I can say.

[@lemmegetamuhfckinuhhh2023]

I think a mosin that's a little beat up would be a great gun to learn how to do gun repairs/ intro to basic gunsmithing, stock work, completely take downs for full cleans not just field strips, trigger work/ replacement depending, most likely you'll want to learn how to glass bead that new precision barrel you got. And if your lucky, you'll get a lesson on how to deal with and dispose of cosmoline xD. Serious note however if you have the means get a case of mosins and a spam can for each one of you have the means too

[@lemmegetamuhfckinuhhh2023]

Not to mention you should keep your main guns zeroed, you won't be getting .25 moa but it should certainly be capable of taking a deer at 150yds provided you use match ammo and have your optics in order ;)

[@StPaul76]

A thing about the Martini-Henry rifle that I've noticed is that the trigger, the trigger guard and it's placement looks like something taken out of a modern hunting rifle like a Kimber or a modern Mauser.. It just does not look like something thought out and manufactured in the 19th century and it stands out of the rest of the rifle.

[@richardanderson2742]

Kabul arsenal Martini parts are substantially indistinguishable from Brit parts, with key parts being 100% interchangeable. When made they were as legitimate and safe as any Brit made Martini. Given their use and often abuse, the same warning applies to them today as any well used century old firearm. Legitimate Martinis were made in many countries, including the USA by Providence Tool Co. which produced more Martini rifles than Enfield.

[@jimmelnyk7506]

On carbine, serial number 1328, the marking above the arsenal logo appears to have been hand engraved. This appears to be a different marking technique compared to the arsenal stamped or rolled markings.

It was marked as being his grandfather's, we don't know a lot about him except that he was originally some kind of colonial soldier, Indian or Gurka I don't know. Looking at these weapons it seems likely that this was the middle variant which he obtained one way another while serving on that boarder.

[@spb969]

The title of this video immediately made me think of The Man Who Would Be King (1888) by Kipling. I don't see if anyone has commented about it before, but that story refers to these guns: "they sent me, with forty men and twenty rifles, and sixty men carrying turquoises, into the Ghorband country to buy those hand-made Martini rifles, that come out of the Amir’s workshops at Kabul..." Who knows, Kipling's story, and the movie based on it, might be one of the reason's that someone would have wanted to own an Afghan made Martini-Henry rifle, and lead to producing fake ones.

My Dari is rusty, and I only ever got the basics, but I think the top line of unknown numbers is 1,0,(possibly 4/possibly letter ayn/possibly something I can't even guess.),0,9. Bottom line has lots more potential readings. I tend to think it looks like the letters alef,yaa,hey, and the number 8. Given how many languages are spoken in Afghanistan though. as well as dialects and variable levels of literacy, these are pretty speculative on my part.

[@lordharvey5199]

wow that round must really thump what ever it hits

[@minutemanqvs]

One thing that isn't probably very clear for lots of people, is that Martini sold the patent for the action. And lots of people produced Martini-based rifles, for example here in Switzerland lots of target rifles from this period are Martinis in 7.5 swiss (GP(18)90 and later GP11); these rifles ad others are "as legit" as Martini-Enfields.

[@rafiullahqallander]

@@zayedbiniqbal2797 After the 1978 Russian invasion and coup in Afghanistan, most of the people; including my family, left the country and went to the near Pakhtunkhwa (then NWFP) Province (now under the control of Pakistan). During that time, People just toke the most important things with themselves when guns were one of them. During the time of refuge, farther from their homeland, people could barely make shelters to be covered from sun and rain, and the economic situation was not that good, and the harshness of the refuge situations de-valued everything; including human lives and these ancient Afghan Martinies Carbines, so it was not just me, but I have seen hundreds of these guns and more other antique pieces that went in vain. Otherwise, guns, horses, dogs, and Attan Dance were things most special to every Afghan. These were not things of war but were fantasies. It has deep roots even in poetry and myths.

[@captainsewerrat]

Ian, have you covered any military issue combat knives before? I did a quick search on your channel but didn't find anything (Other than the blade/gun combos). Is that something you might consider covering? Or not too familiar/not too interested? There's obviously less to cover about in terms of mechanical aspects, but I think it might be an interesting subject. Perhaps doing it as sort of specials like "US Combat Knives 1900 to 2000" for example, that would provide a good amount of content.
