This "American Rifleman Television" segment, "I Have This Old Gun," delves into the British Enfield .476 revolvers, specifically the Mark I and Mark II variants adopted by the British military in the late 19th century. It discusses their transition to self-contained metallic cartridges, their design flaws such as awkward handling and a slow loading gate, and the ineffective Owen-Jones selective ejection system. Despite a short service life with front-line troops, these revolvers found continued use in the colonies and are notably associated with the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police. The video highlights them as an interesting but flawed chapter in British firearms history.
