At this point 6.5 Dutch might be easier to find on the shelves than 5.56

Carlos the 1st (Portugal) went with a Steyr like this in 1896-1900 only in mosqueton configuration... I think about 12500 produced.

Regarding problems with enbloc clips: Was anything done before or during WW II to make the M1 Garand clips more reliable? (Okay, apologies after reading C&Rsenal’s reply. I wrongly heard that the WW I enbloc clips were problematic even when new.)

You can actually swap parts with the Romanian rifles, but it’s the 1892, not the 1893. The Romanian 1892 bolt and the Dutch 1895 bolt are identical.

What you failed to tell us is what level do we need to reach for the new content

Schlegelmilch? 6.5mm seems a sweet spot in service calibers for many nations. This video is excellent (ausgezeichnet!) and I greatly enjoyed it. Thank you.

CandRsenal

Well as-manufactured these might have been plenty reliable. Remember 100% of our examples are used.

The $5 tier and up gets the scans! You do have to select the tier though, just changing your donation level is not enough.

I'm torn on the like&subscribe pitch at the beginning. Because this is a sort of historical documentary series hopefully intended to be dredged up far in the future as a source of information it seems a bit jarring. On the other hand I understand the need to promote the channel.

Andrew MacDougall

That was widely agreed at the time and a 7.5mm cartridge was often choosen because of the inadequate "payload" capacity (incendiary against balloons and tracer) of the smaller round. Also a 6.5mm doesn't have the "umph" for the more extreme MG ranges where the lower recoil/easier handling of a 6.5 in a rifle wouldn't matter. In short the ordinary rifleman's usability of the round was sacrificed for the desires of various "specialty" users and the desire to have a uniform ammunition supply. This is described in earlier videos on this channel dealing with 6.5mm designs.

CandRsenal

We've definitely dropped it into a spot where it can be trimmed out on a different platform. However, it does seem to be working at getting the show exposed to more viewers. You work with what you gotta to spread the history.

I've asked in the Discord so I'll ask the collective brain here as well...Auguste Schriever. That name turns up everywhere I look. From Holland to Chile to China. I've read the "Littlegun" brief biog (and I know he published a catalogue that I'd love to own) but can anyone point me towards any more sources about him?

Bruce Brodnax

Nuts. I thought this episode came out longer ago than this. Aaarrrrghghghgh! I've got another WEEK to go b4 more C&Rsenal... :-(

Its December now, So id figure id make an update on this statement. Its easier to find 6.5 swede than it is to find 5.56 *laughs at all the people who made fun of me for collecting old milsurp instead of AR-15's*

Guido Schriewer

WHAT was the name of the salesman?! august schriever? like my family name with a more common spelling. wonder if there is any connection.
