This video explores a rare Confederate Columbus Armory Carbine, highlighting its scarcity and limited historical documentation. Manufactured by John Gray in Columbus, SC, the carbine shares similarities with the Murray arms factory. The video details a contract for rifles and carbines, with a low delivery count. Notable features include the PRO / FCH inspection mark and its Mississippi-style design with a .54 caliber barrel and 3-groove rifling.
This video analyzes the Mannlicher 1901/04 Carbine, an experimental firearm developed by Ferdinand von Mannlicher. It highlights the carbine's evolution from earlier models, its short recoil and tipping bolt action, and its initial chambering in 7.63mm Mannlicher. The description details a key improvement in the 1901/04 variant: a fixed handguard to prevent malfunctions caused by gripping the recoiling handguard. The most significant change was its scaling up for a larger 7.63x32mm cartridge, drawing a comparison to the .30 Carbine. Development ceased due to Mannlicher's passing in 1904.
This video focuses on the Palmer Cavalry Carbine, a historically significant firearm. The description highlights its status as the first bolt-action firearm adopted by the US military, its single-shot rimfire design patented in 1863, and its delivery to the US cavalry in 1865, just after the Civil War concluded, preventing combat service. The video also points out design similarities to the later Ward-Burton rifle, specifically the interrupted-thread locking lugs, while noting the Palmer's independent hammer mechanism.
