Enjoyed watching the two Astras demonstrated side by side. Another great video Thomas.

Thanks for watching! It was a fun one to shoot

[@BV-fr8bf]

Thank you! Had not seen the 600/43 previously! (even on Forgetton Weapons)

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

It’s a neat one! Wish it belonged to me, but I’m glad I at least got to play with it for the video!

[@tacosandfrenchfries4561]

Thanks for watching!

I have the same along with a astra 300 but am too scared to shoot them since they are minty german wwii examples. Thanks for showing your friends pistols!

Morning Thomas, intresting video. These are pistols that often appear in European films of the 1950's , 60's.

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

Thanks! And that’s interesting, I can’t think of a single American film with them but it would make sense considering the availability (and I’m sure there are American films that feature them, I just can’t think of them. We always seem to fixate on the Luger)

[@51WCDodge]

@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry The self loaders in period films, up to probbaly the 1960's, are an Astra or the C96

See those pop up in pawn shops every now and then- wondered if they were any count.

Gday Thomas . Range day yesterday. Kar 98,SMLE , Argentina Mauser and some pistols . Was taking about the Astra out there . There are a couple for sale at the local shop . Are they worth the purchase?

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

If the price isn’t too high I’d go for it! The 400 can be rough to get ammo for, but the 600 is a blast!

[@nickyminter4271]

thanks for the reply Thomas . My birthday is February. I generally purchase a firearm for the occasion 😊. I’ll have a look . Pls keep up the great work . We all appreciate it ! ✊🙏🇺🇸🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸

a question Good 30-06 Springfield bullet on Pattern 1914 Enfield

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

P14 or M1917? Cause the P14 is .303 British

[@abutalib4260]

​@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry This means that the 30-06 bullet is not suitable for P1914, correct

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

@abutalib4260 correct, P14 is .303 British 👍🏻
