The lever action isn't obsolete, it's role is just more specialised. It's essentially a completely mechanical semi-automatic, meaning you can change around the cartridges(provided they are the same diameter) with little worry of if the blowback operation is actually going to function. They're usually faster to cycle than a bolt action, even if they're slower than most semi-autos. They're comparatively simple to repair, to the point where someone who has no experience with gunsmithing could repair one in a pinch. Unlike a blowback operation firearm, their action is near silent, meaning a suppressor and a subsonic cartridge can make it rather stealthy in most circumstances, and almost inaudible under the right circumstances. As stated before, they're not obsolete, merely more specialist and often overlooked.

oh no the lever action was never hand made. It was hand finished, but industrial machines and patterns did the vast majority of the rough work. They were just powered by steam and patterns instead of electricity and NC programs. Part of the reason why these guns are hand fitted still is because they weren't exactly designed for automated manufacturing. They require the hand fitting process to be safe and frankly to function properly, unlike the most modern designs that are meant to basically come out of the machine, undergo coating, and then relatively unskilled assembly to be ready. There's beauty in both of the approaches for sure, but I am personally a bigger fan of the modern :D

Octagon barrel, crescent 🌙 butt stock, case hardened fixtures. When the rifle arrived, my local dealer said if he hadn't already quoted me a price of 600 dollars, he would have doubled it because a few weeks before it arrived the last ones made by Winchester in the USA was finished. They are made in Japan now. I don't know if the trailsend is even made at all. I have never fired it for all intents and purposes it's brand new.

Where I worked they drilled 4+ barrels at the same time, then machined them to be placed on an auto forge where the rifling was cut, and the barrels final diameter was set before being cut and shipped to another building for finishing and assembly. The method used in this video I think would be slower for individual barrels because they have to force a cutting tool through a tight hole, vs. pressing down and pulling the cutting tool at the same time. Edit: it had been a while since I saw the video, and got the rifling section very wrong. They don't use the same machine for rifling as drilling.

It is a hard-hitting, accurate rifle, and it allows me to carry the same ammunition for it as my .357 Magnum S&W revolver. The tube will hold 10 rounds + one in the chamber. The rifle also accommodates .38, .38 Special, and .38 +P ammo, with more rounds in the tube, due to differences in length. It is a very versatile firearm. (Puma also makes this lever-action carbine in .22LR, 30-30 Win, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, and .454 Casull.)

By the standards of a mass manufacturing like ruger, some of it is a little antiquated, but still very good and maybe even a superior gun is made by the older methodology. Modern barrels are often hammer forged and ruger uses advanced casting techniques for the receiver-action and maybe the lever. A lot of MIM is used for the smaller parts. ''Metal injection molding (MIM) is a metalworking process in which finely-powdered metal is mixed with binder material to create a feedstock. The feedstock is then solidified and shaped to produce the final product. ''

The flute on the gun drill is not there to deliver “high pressure oil,” it's there to remove the chips. The oil is fed through tiny passages running through the drill's body, where it emerges at the tip via small round holes. The oil does not break down the metal shavings, that is in the design of the drill's tip. The bore reamers oil themselves in the same manner. The spin of a bullet does not make it more aerodynamic. That is due to the shape of the bullet, itself. The spin “improves the stability of the projectile, improving both range and accuracy.” (Wiki on rifling) What you show, as an action, is called the frame. The action consists of the frame with all its internal components. The “action” does not take a trip to a “metal treatment plant.” The frame is sent to a heat treatment plant, where it's case-hardened in this instance. The bath is not a “hot water bath,” it's molten salts. It is quenched in water after heating in the salts. I'm going to stop here, as you really do need to hire someone with technical knowledge before making these videos.

I was hoping that the gun butt was going to be hand made, but I suppose to mass produce you would have to automate things.

is using a solid bar and drilling it out stronger than starting with tube stock for the barrel?

I remember a documentary of how the Japans got the first ever rifles when they were at war.. This was back during samuraii warriors.. no weapons other than swords etc. . It was english ships out to explore the world. This was in mid 1800s - but a very bad storm tilted all the ships and everybody died.. A ship with lots of rifles and ammunition flushed to shore in Japan, and they eventually mounted it and found these rifles, which they used in a war against another rivalry.. And after a long time, they finally successfully found a way to create exact copies of these rifles. And a new era of weaponry begun in Japan after that.

That's incorrect. The first ever rifles brought to Japan were muskets in the Sengoku era, specifically 1549, brought in by Nobunaga Oda.

@@TheIllustriouBlueJay Guns were introduced to Japan by Portuguese adventurers who were shipwrecked near the shore of Tanegashima, a small island south of Kyushu, in 1543. Matchlock pistols and guns modeled on the imported weapons began to be made in Japan and were an important feature of battles during the 1570s and 1580s.

@@AR_119 anything pre-1994 is still decent.. Mine has sentimental value, it was the first gun my pop bought me new in 1980.. BUT anyone who owns a Model 94, isn't going to hunt with a pre-64. My 79 is used every hunting season. I got a very nice 6 point Sept 17th last year, just waiting for the season to open this year (Sept 15)

@@KrazyMitchAdventures that is fair enough. In a gun like that with sentimental value has a special place in any collection for sure. You are right about those ones made after 94, I've seen a few made between 95 and about 2005 and they are just not as good as the newest ones or the really old ones. I was lucky enough to grab a pre 64 model 94 a few years back for a really good deal but I do baby that thing haha. I would never take it hunting.

As I understand it, the proof houses test the guns by loading a charge that is twice the intended charge of the cartridge. The gun survives two shots at double-charge, it passes the test.
