You hang a Norwegian Krag on the wall in one episode, you have to use it in the next.

I love the US Krag just sitting there in the back round looking smug

As a Dane I find this quite interresting. Just added you with patreon support. I’ve been watching your channel for a while and I felt that now was the time to support financially and not only liking your very educational videos. Keep up the fantastic work May and Othias (and crew) Best regards from me Per Allan

Wery interesting video. There is one small thing I thought I might mension about the lockinglugs, though. I went to gunsmithing school, here in Norway, a few years ago, and we did quite a bit of work on Norwegian Krag-Jørgensen rifles. What I was thought there about the lockinglugs is that when you are doing work on a Krag, such as changing the barrel, you need to check that both the front lug and the rear lug engages properly with the resiver, the rear lug on a Norwegian krag beeing the rear surface of the long bar on the side of the bolt, that tucks away under the extractor. This way, the krag actually has two working locking lugs, plus the root of the bolt handle as an additional safetylug that should not under normal sercumstances be engaged. Now, I have never actually worked on a Danish krag, so I do not know if that was built the same way, but it did appear to allso have an elongated bar on the side of the bolt. I really enjoy the show, you are doing great work!

Very interesting history and rifle. This Danish Krag was "enough" rifle, especially with the spitzer loading. I don't like the forward-hinged loading gate, but it worked well enough. Excellent (ausgezeichnet !) video!

Not usually one to nitpick, but as the Norwegian poster above me mentioned the danish and norwegian krags are absolutely 2-lug designs, only the US krags went to a single lug (I assume) to simplify manufacture of what was already a horrendously complicated design. The 2 lug arrangement was one of the reasons the loadings of the danish krag cartridge can match the muzzle energy of a 30-06, while similar power loadings would result in bolt failures on the US krags.

[23:16] I'm expecting part two to explain the little hole. IT HAD BETTER EXPLAIN THE LITTLE HOLE.

James Caldwell

David, you beat me to my comment! ;) What is that darn hole for?

You're right and we even mentioned it in the US episode. I got fixated on the conditional front locking lug and let the rear slip.

Thanks for your reply. Now that you say so I do remember you mentioning it in the US episode. By the way, you are doing great work teaching the history.

Mae Responding: This has since been refreshed with the new episode link. Thank you all for your patience and for giving us a heads up on the mistake!

See, I would have put the little hole there *just* to put a little hole there, and wandered off muttering about barrel harmonics.
