This video delves into the history and mechanics of the Farquhar-Hill, a British semi-automatic rifle developed before World War I. The description highlights its unique spring-buffered gas-operated mechanism, designed by Arthur Hill and financed by Mowbray Farquhar. Initially conceived as a long-recoil system, it was modified before production. The rifle fired the .303 British cartridge and was intended for 19-round drum magazines. A large British military order was cancelled due to the end of WWI, with only a limited number of military and sporting patterns reaching civilian hands. The video also touches upon Farquhar's subsequent work on machine guns.
