This video showcases the System Kuhn, a novel single-shot breechloading rifle likely manufactured in the 1870s or 1880s by Kuhn of Besançon. The rifle is designed for sporting use, firing an 11mm black powder cartridge. Key features highlighted include its efficient breech-loading mechanism which automatically ejects spent casings and cocks the hammer upon closing the action. It also incorporates a safety feature preventing firing until the action is fully closed, safeguarding against out-of-battery discharges. While the maker remains largely unknown, the video explores the innovative engineering of this antique firearm.
