DEAR INTERNET (NOT PRESENT AT THE EVENT) RANGE OFFICERS: 2.4.2.2 If at any time during the course of fire, a participant allows the muzzle of his loaded firearm to point rearwards (i.e. further than 90 degrees from the median intercept of the backstop, or in the case of no backstop, allows the muzzle to point up-range). This does not apply to RO verified unloaded rifles and unloaded pistols.

And for manual division RO verifying meant firing a cartridge and leaving the action closed.

[@trooperdgb9722]

No reason why something broadly similar couldn't be run here.... of course everyone would be in "Classic manual" Division I suppose... I shoot IPSC on a range only 35 metres long NOT approved for rifle calibres (the 73 would be fine of course! ) but given access to one of the clubs rifle ranges something could be done. I also shoot "Wild Bunch" (spin off from Cowboy Action - 1911 in 45 auto/40cal+ lever Rifle/shotgun) and we have started shooting a Bolt Action match as part of that... so many of us would have "match legal" gear I reckon. Hell..I could go Austro-Hungarian and use my 95 Steyr Rifle and 1912 Steyr pistol! (The pistol would be a handicap...8 round...stripper clip loading lol - better off with the 1911) The closest we have got - without kettle bells and hundred yard sprints - is a side match called "The Doughboy" Stage based - Bolt Action rifle... 1911...and shotgun.

[@taggartlawfirm]

What is the safety procedure in the 1873? An open lever is really awkward, and you can’t reload, so I’m going to say you can’t run with the action open. There is no other external safety and an empty chamber is not a realistic option. leaving the last empty cartridge in the chamber? (Cuz Id never remember and crank the lever) Other then “don’t sweep anything,” how do you safely move? Hammer down? Half-cock?

To Karl, I'm sure you remember the time (because I think I remember mentioning it in a previous video) where a lever gun was used with good effect by a modern army, the Ottomans in the Battle of Plevna in 1877. Of course, they used the model 1866 Winchester not the more modern 1977. Even after this was widely known among the world's militaries, they still didn't avail themselves of the increased firepower. I wonder if the lesson learned was that the long-range single-shot rifle (Peabody-Martini's I think I remember) of the Ottomans was more important than the short range of the lever actioned rifle. That would need to wait another 50-80 or years for the lesson of firepower to be re-discovered.

[@MASSspec1990]

Looking at the smoke from a single person with black powder out of that lever action, I can understand why a lot of militaries were reluctant to use something like that.

[@charlesadams1721]

@@MASSspec1990well, considering black powder was all everyone had up until the late 1800s, the smoke from massed numbers of troops or artillery was a real thing. In that regard, single somewhat widely spaced soldiers with lever guns wasn't a real problem, or at least wasn't noted.

[@MASSspec1990]

I still remain sceptical on the practical use of the 1873 as a military rifle. Maybe as a dragoon’s rifle, or somewhere you can dictate the engagement range, but not massed or standard. Cavalry was still the tank of the day, and even with increasing fire rates, charges were rarely broken with massed fire. Up until smokeless powder and MG’s, massed formations and bayonets were the go to methods for defending against cavalry. As for the battle of Plevna, considering that smokeless powder came along soon after, you could argue that militaries did learn that lesson by the adoption of small bore smokeless cartridges. It just depends on how much each nation learned. As observed in Ian’s video on the .280 FAL that just came up, 7mm is a sweet spot for small bore (non-intermediate) rifle cartridges, yet a lot of nations tried and failed to improve on that.

[@charlesadams1721]

[@USSEnterpriseA1701]

Karl, I kind of have to disagree on the Winchester 1895 assessment. I grant that it's not quite as fast as the shorter actions, but it's still more than capable of being plenty fast when the rifle is in good operating condition (which most of the Russian ones are not any more). My experience comes from a Miroku made Winchester brand saddle ring carbine in .30-40 Krag (which has the 'modern' tang safety and rebounding hammer) and Miroku made Browning brand sporter in .30-06 (which is a near perfect copy of the originals, with none of the modern safety add-ons). Both are pretty slick on stroke, though they fall slightly short of my Uberti 73 or any of my slicked up Rossi 92's. It's easily on par with my really nice '46 Model 94 in .32 Special and a smidge behind my Marlin 94 CB that has been a project since I got it (previous own had made some not terribly well done modifications, like trying to fit sling swivels improperly).

[@MarvinCZ]

What do you disagree with, exactly? Karl just said that the 1895 cycles in a very different way and that the 1873 is faster. Nothing more.

[@USSEnterpriseA1701]

@@MarvinCZ I imagine his experience is based on Ian's shooting of an original Russian contract rifle. As I recall, that rifle had issues, largely due to it's age and condition. The examples I've got are in practically brand new condition and operate much more smoothly. I'd say that I am virtually no slower with them than just about all of my pistol/light rifle cartridge leverguns. While I've never had the chance to properly time myself, I do know that I'm reasonably fast with them, certainly not top cowboy action shooter fast, but likely mid-range CAS fast.

So from my understanding of the guns, which is limited to book/internet knowledge so to be taken with many grains of salt, the post 1892 action put together by browing is extremely strong, almost redundantly so, meaning there are more parts locking up, also the rifle cartridge in the 1895 requires a longer lever throw to clear the case and lift the next one. Both of these factors combine to have a slower (but probably not slow) gun. Or I'm just talking shit
