You seem tired. Or I dunno. Beard a little lackluster. Sleep and vitamins are good for you. Get some!

I guess what I was trying to say was: Please don't work yourself to death.

There’s a good reason the disassembly screw isn’t captured. It’s needed to facilitate removal of the mainspring.

With Mae on board I'm trying to clean up a huge mess of postponed maintenance issues. House, family, friends, etc. + designing some new shirts etc.

This episode is an excellent example of why I appreciate your Primer series so much. Most gun videos would just point out the perceived faults of the revolver, then shoot it a bit, and then slam the lousy trigger pull, ending in dismissing it as crazy Russian junk. Your providing the context of its design criteria makes all the difference in evaluating the firearm. Owing to your collective research and explanations, it becomes clear that this revolver did what most don't, which is provide a reliable firearm that fully meets the design criteria. Now we can soundly criticize that design criteria, but the resulting product is primarily the fault of the selection process and not that of the inventor, nor subsequent production facilities. As almost always, knowledge of the history makes all the difference. Please keep up the great work.

What I love about these vids is I come away from them having learned something new every time one is published. Whilst the firearms themselves are interesting, it is the thinking and history behind them that is truly fascinating for me. Putting something into a historical and political context explains so much. Even the Russian Nagant revolver! This an outstanding channel.

I look forward to watching this - I was just reading an abstract of C Ricci's 1894 patent which "deals with a means of solving the popular problem of providing a revolver which will not leave a space between the chamber and barrel for the escape of the powder gases". It looks...complicated.

Othias, you could probably teach a political science class based primarily on arms development. The gas seal Nagant was probably a necessary exploratory step in the development of the revolver, and we should appreciate it for the step that it was. But for Imperial Russia to crank out nearly half a million of them well into the age of the improved revolver and reliable autoloader is probably more an indictment of that political system than a strike against the gun. And as an indictment of the next system, I can certainly see some brave (or foolish) Soviet private of WWII asking "Comrade Commissar. . .If the Romanovs were so bad that we overthrew them 25 years ago. . .and if socialism is so wonderful and progressive. . .then why are we fighting off these MG-42-toting fascists with Czarist-era bolt actions and revolvers?"

Every other week I realized how little I know about gun history. After every episode I have so many more questions and things I'm unsure of.
