[@cdcorry86]

Wow that 30-30 really impressed me.

[@doranmaxwell1755]

By then there were some bolt action rifles that fired a bit more potent round and reached out a bit more (mostly because they did not have to be round nose like the 30-30) but it was not that much more and the 30-30 really was a lot more handy.

[@baneofbanes]

@@doranmaxwell1755there rifles chambered in some much more substantial rounds than .30-30 in 1908. .30-30 is actually closer to 7.62x39 rather than any full powered rifle round like what various militaries at the time used.

[@doranmaxwell1755]

@@baneofbanes Thank you. I was aware of course of the various Euro 'African' rifles and such I think the 30-30 is a bit under rated tho. Maybe somewhere between the 7.62x39 and the 303

[@baneofbanes]

@@doranmaxwell1755 it’s closer to 7.62x39 than it is to .303. .303 and other cartridges like 8mm and 7mm Mauser are sustainably more powerful than .30-30.

[@doranmaxwell1755]

@@baneofbanes yes I will admit that it is closer to the soviet round but far more versatile so far as bullet weight I have never been a huge fan of the 30-30 but in a rural setting where I did a lot of hunting I would think it would be ideal much more so than the soviet round

What's crazy is it's 80 times cheaper to make and produce these firearms today and yet the prices are 10 times as high as they were in the fifties.

[@donaldramey1896]

These throwbacks to an earlier era bring this 70 year old back to the guns of my dad when I was a budding 12 year old gun nut. I love those memories.

[@pogeegitz]

I have a Model 1894 from 1904 I inherited from my grandpa. Chambered in 32 Winchester special with an octagonal barrel. Still a tack driver.

[@frank4fun64]

I have that A5 in a 16 ga with slug barrel. Sweet 16. It was my Dad's, he won it in a poker game at deer camp. Gave it to me for my 16th B Day 50 yrs ago. One of 3 I will never sell. Gorgeous piece

[@vernsquash8883]

Familiar story, as my Dad bought a new 16-ga. A5 (full-choke, vent rib) in 1952 for my Mom who never used it, hence she gifted it to me on my 15th birthday. I took mallard ducks right along side the adults with their 3-inch 12-gauges, more in many cases to their bewilderment. On upland game however, the full choke was less than ideal under 35-yards. I gifted it to my niece. It has the same safety as shown in the video here, and is the BEST shotgun safety design I have ever seen or used.

[@theironknight597]

Honestly one of my msot favorite series on this channel and great choices for this 'Armed in.'

[@sivispacemparabellum5160]

I am from Brazil. I have a 1949 FN Browning Auto5 12GA, and a 1892 clone from Rossi chambered in 44 magnum. Great Video! If your video was “armed in 1912” I could include my 1911 .45.

Lot of people here in Ohio still use a A-5 slug gun for deer season. As Hickok45 shows, it can definitely reach out there to reasonable ranges.

My favorite gun to choose in the year 1908 is gonna be the Winchester 1897 pump / slide action shotgun because of being super fun to pump the action and the famous special slam firing mode.

I was involved in competitive trapshooting for most of my early years, and remember that A5 Browning as a popular shotgun in the 60’s. However, it was overtaken by the Remington 1100 by the end of the decade as the go to semiautomatic. Still, it was an awesome handling firearm to wield.

Freedom of speech but "Not freedom of reach" ? ... basically like locking us into cells and saying "there yell all you want to in there" .... very very sick people.
