This video provides a detailed examination of the Gevarm A6, an open-bolt semi-automatic .22LR sporting rifle. The description highlights the rifle's simple design, stemming from its open-bolt mechanism, where a single piece serves as the bolt and bolt face with an integrated firing pin rib. It also notes the absence of an extractor due to the reliance on chamber pressure for case ejection in its blowback system. The video touches on the historical context of open-bolt firearms in the US, their prohibition by the ATF in the early 1980s, and how existing models were grandfathered. Variations of the Gevarm series are also briefly mentioned, including models with enhanced sights, an M1 carbine simulation, .22 Short chambering, and a takedown version. The description points out that these rifles were not popular sellers due to their high price.
