Double take... lol

Bruce Brodnax

In the final showdown, 1907 vs 1912, you overlooked mention of the 1907 having the bent bolt handle [faster manipulation] vs. the straight bolt on the 1912. Personally, the whole sight issue is blather for me, never having had a tangent sight w/ the fiddly "walk it in" feature. Having to choose between a straight bolt in a superior cartridge vs. a bent bolt in a hard-kicker [seriously, shooting a 1903 Springfield in .30-'06 is positively a treat vs. a '98 in 8mm irate mule] requires ponderation...

Thank you for the short double episodes. I like the format, like that you put in twice as much effort, and love that you are calling out tothe community for help. Keep it up!

What Matt said....the 'squib' idea is good to introduce the gun and then hope the community lends a hand. If I had any of these old guns ....I would lend them :-)

Dan

Good to tell the Chilean Mauser story. Very interesting.

I have one of those 1912 Chilean Mauser Carbines. They are very rare, They were used in Chili for home guard use. Broken ones were cannibalized for parts, the survivors were finally retired in the 1970's. The ones with slings have slings from an early 1970's manufacture. Nice ones have slings painted white for parade use and their barrels welded shut. Ones cannibalized for parts were put in storage in a tropical climate. Worn out parts and severe pitting are common. Mine has a broken stock, missing parts and pitted barrel. I plan on restoring it. I found the parts, but the rest is yet to come.
