My party of choice gets reelected to government in Canada and I get a C&Rsenal video as well? Is this my birthday?

Absolutely awesome.

Great update. Oh, at 53:46, I find it interesting that you guys said the sight buttons stick out 2 or 3 centimeters. Umm, 2 centimeters is about 3/4-inches. That seems rather long. I think you might have meant 2 or 3 millimeters, which is around a 1/10 of an inch. (Yeah, I'm an engineer.

Millimeter, centimeter, centimeter how much difference could one little power of ten make? Hmmm. OK. Maybe it's a wee but significant. But it was still another great look into one of the most influential designs of the (mostly) 20th century.

I suppose we are also getting an update on the Berthiers? They are really old and outdated.

These remake videos of the main infantry rifles are excellent.

57:30 unless the next episode is already in the can please compare the G98 to the K98 in terms of recoil.

NekoGhost

I wonder why they got rid of the quick 50m adjustment feature on the K98k sights, when it is on other Mauser tangent sights.

It's a quibble, but my dad, a WWII vet, corrected me when I referred to the M1 Garand he carried as a "gun". "It's a rifle. Get caught calling it a gun in basic training and you'd have to sleep with it." Guns are big caliber stuff.

Interestingly enough, I have a Romanian 1954 Mosin Nagant that uses the same sight adjustment system.
