Came across an interesting statement at The Great War. They stated that the Red Dot sight was invented prior to WW1 by a man named Howard Grubb. I thought it might be interesting to the use of the early red dot sight. It is my understanding that it was primarily used on machine guns mounted on aircraft flying at night.

I have a question. Growing up we had 22 caliber rifles on the farm to shoot gophers ect ect. They used rimfire shells. Why? I understand the basic concept but what's the reason behind it? The only info I could find is that it allowed for the shells to be made of cheaper metals to reduce price.

There was a brief period where rim fire was the standard but it obviously failed in the long term due to expense, overuse of priming compound, and unreliability. The sporting use .22LR cartridge didn't need to be ultra reliable, it was so small that a primer setup would be troublesome and costly, and it's small size also means very little priming material in the rim overall. So it just sorta lasted and became standard

By pure chance last week I acquired two M95`s. To my surprise, you mentioned on your video that the AO1 on the stock meant that the rifle was reused by by the Italians in North Africa. By just mentioning this, you convinced me to hold on to one of them as it is marked as such. Are these rare? I wanted to let you know that I love your show exactly because of the detailed information provided.

They are uncommon and mean you don't have to worry about if it was modified post war.
