History of WWI Primer 141: Swiss Mannlicher 1893 Documentary

[@Candrsenal]

Mae here, I've hijacked the C&R account. Round 2 folks! We've corrected some errors in the original, ammo specs in the beginning, some phrasing in the animation, so here we are with our re-release. I don't know who all had a hand in helping to spot the errors, but thanks for keeping an eye out fellas and a special thanks to Bloke on the Range for double checking some notes on the fly for us!

[@kkloikok]

You guys don't fck around with those error corrections do you lol

[@Bacteriophagebs]

Ha, I thought KZbin had just gone on one of its "delete everything to do with guns" sprees again. Good to know it's just corrections. Keep up the good work!

[@Tankej0527]

Got the botr vid showcasing the clip flip?

[@Grunge4ever1993]

[@bhoward9378]

Bloke on the Range is a fascinating channel. I particularly appreciate the videos on the history of Swiss military planning in WW1 and WW2.

[@awokado5710]

C&Rsenal team being perfectionists probably spotted some minor mistake 99% of us didn't even notice, but since they put so much work into each episode they don't want to have videos with wrong informations uploaded. In any case, another comment so the brutal youtube algorythm notices their hard work!

[@nicholasresar]

Mae looks so disappointed in that bolt like it's some misbehaving cat.

[@catfish552]

Mae: "Come *on*, behave yourself!"

[@Shilnath]

I worry about what reuploading does to your analytics, and such things. But I appreciate your commitment to be as accurate as you can be. Thank you all for your hard work. I learned a thing because of y'all.

[@phprofYT]

You could say that Mae "swiss cheesed" that target. I'll show myself to the door.

Ok. Another comment to feed Al Gore's rhythm.

I've gone all day thinking today was Wednesday, probably because I stayed up to watch this episode all the way through last night. Now you're telling me that it's actually yesterday and I haven't watched this episode at all.

[@robertl6196]

Nice! Saturday night, a glass of something, and C&Rsenal.

[@Mangowaffle]

Going out of your way to even think of buying a Swiss coin just to check for them is indicative of your guy's commitment to accuracy, love to see it

[@charlieclark8446]

Thanks!

[@StacheMan26]

To port my comment from the last version over: It's Swiss! It's Austrian! By the law of averages I'm pretty sure that makes it from Liechtenstein!

[@tcurtisjohnson]

ZOMFG, a GUN CHANNEL saying OUT LOUD and UP FRONT that "We're working from a one-example sample, your mileage may vary?" I think I've just died and gone to heaven, ya'll! Othais and Mae, PLEASE keep doing what you're doing, ESPECIALLY when it comes to acknowledging reality...

[@mrcjspapa]

love the history! could watch Mae shoot all day ! keep up the excellent series Othais, Mae ,Bruno .

[@fien111]

Are we sure these two aren't Brits? Because they rerelease barely altered modifications of nearly every iteration of their mainline series. Small Arms of WWI Primer 142 Mark. IV* with experimental Australian Sources, Ishapore Pattern

Here’s is a comment of my continuing love of this show I don’t questions the weird stuff of filming cause I figure I’m ignorant to the process and I love when you guys explain what’s happening that causes people to comment about x y and z

[@LN997-i8x]

I winced when you pulled the bolt out so casually, expecting the belt-head to snap back instantly!

[@rodrigogascagomez5190]

And here comes C&Rsenal again to hit me with something I couldn't imagine existed. I'm a happy man.

[@DOSmanager]

I had just finished watching this. Now I am watching this again, the same day, not two hours apart. I am ok with this.

[@bhoward9378]

I have never seen anything like this for sale, anywhere. Your ability to find and collect historical firearms is fascinating. Thank you!

[@TenaciousTrilobite]

The vast majority of guns they do episodes on are borrowed. Othais has said before that he had to liquidate most of his personal collection to fund the show

[@tedweldon8442]

Watched last night on Patreon really enjoyed this, I’m in the middle of cleaning up and M95

[@CTXSLPR]

Again, a great video to watch after driving across WA and now get to relax to watch this again!

[@ZGryphon]

Mae's face at 50:51, I can't even. "I'm not mad. I'm just very, very disappointed in you."

[@plasmacity35]

One of my favorite Mannlichers and definitely my favorite carbine of all time

[@jonrolfson1686]

Seeing that lovely slim full stock on a neat short-action small rifle the first thought was: ‘This will be a highly-ranked favorite.’ Seeing all the horrors of its complicated, gaff-prone, tricky re-assembly process, and adding the possibility of spontaneous disassembly while in use, the thought becomes: ‘This thing needs to be redone as a compact Mauser-style bolt action.’ Wonder if some exposure to this rifle was behind the slightly later Siamese (Thai) decision to house their own short 8mm rimmed cartridge in a full sized Mauser action.

[@Jargolf86]

Welcome back :3

[@brianfoster4434]

So... perhaps the bolt assembly sequence... wow!

[@alexhemsath6235]

For once I hadn’t already seen the first version uploaded so no problem watching this one to the end.

[@nosaltiesandrooshere7488]

👍 Danke fürs Hochladen! 👍 Thanks for uploading! 👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you! 👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!

[@davidhansen5067]

Thanks for caring enough to fix even the tiny mistakes!

[@impliedtomato8760]

This has to be my favorite series, I always learn something

[@itatane]

I never hated a bolt more than my old steyr 95 straight pull. Whichever Teutonic sadist was responsible for the twitchy decocking deserved a kick in the blueberries...

[@browngreen933]

In mine, the bolt pulls out of the receiver when you cycle the action.

[@AAX11111]

Honestly unless you one of the rearsenal'd ones that was done by !NOT Styer, they are pretty fun guns. For instance i have had two M95s one that was redone by Bulgaria and one redone by Austria. The Bulgarian one was awful, stuck cases, constant failures to extract (pretty sure it was the chamber not being poilshed/reamed out correctly) and all kinds of other problems. My Austrian one is pretty good. Never really had any problems with it other than a beat to cracked stock.

[@dtaggartofRTD]

I appreciate the commitment to accuracy.

[@blairbuskirk5460]

Re upload, sure I'll watch it again.

[@busterkier]

Very neat, completely unknown to me before today, thanks guys!

[@HB-622A]

The moment I saw that detent/bolt stop, I wondered if there'd be an issue like that bouncing, but I didn't expect it to be quite as bad as it was for Mae.

[@John.VanSwearingen]

If you guys keep correcting things to ensure “factual accuracy” and “academic integrity,” you’ll never get around to doing the much-anticipated episode on a certain handgun adopted between 1910 and 1912!

[@cannonfodder4376]

50:48 Mae looked so puzzled and confused.

[@johnjunge6989]

When you demonstrated the bolts need for heavier action on the older model. I also noted, your hands are quiet smooth and supple, I only expected Mae to have soft hands! LoL. -- also noted Maes ability to load and fire difficult rifles. Which means, No One Arm Wrestle Mae!!! Ha

[@chefemilj]

Thanks for the history

[@TenaciousTrilobite]

You can wedge a dime between the bolt head and bolt body to keep it extended

[@turbo-yu6eg]

Also, as I said before on the initial upload. The look on Mae's face when she pulled the bolt clean out of the back of the gun is priceless. Must have been even better the first time and had more of a hint of "Oh #%!@ I broke it!" in her expression.

[@pepsicola60]

Just by looking at this one, I think I have a new favorite bolt action. Not sure if I'll be able to get my hands on one, and maybe too expensive to get one custom made.

Can we get an episode on the development and history of the Swiss k31

[@RCgenral]

I find it fun to run and gun with bolt actions and i have put quite a lot of practice in and i can fire my mosin 91/30 5rounds in 5 seconds or less, while consistently hitting a target at roughly 50 yards.

[@davidkatz1503]

Really cool video as always, now I have a strange urge for a cold beer and some cheese with holes in it

[@Danogil]

Looks to be as fiddly as a 1916 Spanish Mauser Floor Plate. I have one rechambered in .308, when the Oviedo Spanish Mauser Model 1916 Short Rifle was rechambered I believe that the workers took the attitude of 'it's good enough' when putting them back in service. The 2 that I have worked on both were in cosmoline and had broken parts throughout the firearm. May be they were the Elbonians 'We do our best with your worst.'

[@cottond62]

I saw Mae on a funny compilation video suffering a mischief with the Swiss Mannlicher straight pull. It was funny to watch but I'm sure she didn't appreciate it.

[@Dapstart]

The damage to the trigger guard makes it look like the llama omni as a rifle

After watching M of Mae bolt mishap, I had to find this video and watch it. Many positive things about this Carbine, but a definite "NO" vote because of the bolt release. It is 90 F here in Baltimore, MD and it is only 4/13/23. Straight from Winter into Summer.

[@kdude24m]

My bolts aren't so sticky on my 3 examples. They cycle much more smoothly than that one. Only thing I don't like about them really is the front sight protector. Not just because it'll float because they didn't use a tapered screw, but because I can mistake them for the front sight. My 2 that have a magazine aren't sloppy fitting or problematic either.

I think I’d definitely take this thing into battle. The spring issue seems like maybe it wouldn’t be a problem with a new manufacture rifle?

[@nadams01_65]

Maes face is now one of the only things every hurt by a Swiss rifle

[@hmsyndig7577]

I notice the firing pin spring is actually significantly shorter than my (Bulgarian refurbished) M95. I suppose with the shorter spring, it may allow the bolt to cycle with lesser stiffness. I am still waiting for someone to do a mud test. My guess is that it would possibly pass.
