I love how we were teased with martinis and 1911s and get obscurities granted I love the content keep up the good work but I wait I agony for some of these episodes 😂😂

the talk of it being the best of gen 0 reminds me of the Chauchat, you can look at it for all the oddities and faults but remember it was the testbed for ideas so of course it is odd.

Is the pattern for the leather on the holster similar to the version on Lugerman's site. https://lugerman.com/product/mauser-broomhandle-stock/ While I am very much a progressing novice with leather it looks straightforward to replicate. For example there are several available on ebay and amazon. If it is a different pattern I doubt it would be much more complex or difficult. The most difficult part would probably be working without the stock as a form and for fitment. I would like to see what you do have, if possible.

You need to change "screaming hot Mauser" to "pissin hawt Mauser"

Bill Schiff

Based on my impression only I think that this is one of the better episodes. If I was pressed to say why I would not be able to. It just felt right and high spirited. My only negative is about the referrals to not speaking about the stocked versions and needing to save something for the next episode. In my experience watching you guys you never lack for something to say. Just saying. Other than that I was impressed and never bored didn’t want it to end.

Episode 09A* .. embracing British ordnance labelling to the fullest :)

Deficiencies notwithstanding the C96 is still one of my all time favorites

Benson Mitchell

At 0:13:50 you say "cone handle" instead of "cone hammer". Dunno if that's the sort of thing you're trying to catch with the early release, or if it's not worth dubbing over since it's perfectly clear what you meant. At 1:05:30 you mention broom handles not having taper. but they aren't uncommon on whisk brooms. While the most common form of handle is the straight handle made by binding or crimping the straws together in a bundle, there's some with separate wooden handles carved or turned in a wide range of shapes, including round-butted, tapered forms much like a file handle, and I've always assumed these are what the Mauser pistols were nicknamed after.

Not sure how picky you want us to get, but Alaska was still a territory and not yet a state around the 15 minute mark when the different sales agents are discussed. Freaking loved this episode. A lot of those early Primers on pistols always feel “light” compared to later episodes, so this type of episode is super appreciated.

Good enough for the Rocketeer.

Huzzah I've been waiting/hoping for another C96 episode. As it is such an intriguing gun and I selfishly wanted a much deeper dive into it than the original episode.

Jack Fairbrother

I’m knackered, at the end of an 11 hour night shift (I’m in England if the time is weird to you), I was going straight to sleep. I am now staying up for at least the next 1 hour and 28ish minutes lol

Matthew Haber

These two have so much fun in the end bit, super fun to watch each time. Super stoked to finally support this show I’ve been watching for years

Othias needs arm make-up to cover his mosquito bites.

Greg Cooke

Loved this episode! Great seeing you guys again!

Oskar Gessler

I would like to ask you guys about the future of your reprocussion series: Will you focus only on Colt revolvers like most of the big gun channels do or can I hope for an extended, detailed episode about the Remington New Model Army/Navy/Pocket/Police revolvers? Todays most popular cap&ball revolver deserves such a video and there are only five minute clips about them around.

CandRsenal

Pop me an email candrsenal@gmail.com and I'll get you a copy of the manual with leather measurements. It's nothing like the standard leather.

CandRsenal

Well for Reprocussion it's going to be reproductions. But once we really move out of the WWI era we'll do whatever guns we like, whenever. So originals are possible too.

Oskar Gessler

Thank you for the reply. Replicas of the Remington New Model Army was what I ment with most popular Cap&Ball revolver. Pretty much every black powder shooter I know in Poland has at least one Remington 1858, because its technically superior to the Colts. Colts are legendary, therefore people collect them. But when it comes to competitions, Remingtons and Roger&Spencers are ruling and winning the medals.

Robert Farrow

Again, great work. You could loose that tinky background noise.

Tim Pruitt

Great re-work I really enjoyed this. Something seems to flow better than the original, but even with that said i enjoyed the original too. Keep up the good Work Othias and MAe and all your help and associates. I have learned so much more about the WW! and pre-WW1 decades because of you. I have always been a history person, but most of my studies were in earlier Anerican History. I now realize I have much more to learn before I take my last ride.

Rune Smidt

C96 is an early odd one. Like the Bergmanns. Would you be able to compare them in the final video? Great work!
