This video explores the Blake Bolt Action Rifle, a design that competed in US Army trials but was ultimately unsuccessful against the Krag-Jorgensen. The rifle's notable feature was its unique 7-cartridge "packet" system, loaded from the bottom. The trials board found this system too fragile and bulky for military use. The Blake rifle was later tested by the Navy, losing to the Lee Navy straight pull. The example shown is from a limited commercial production run that failed to sustain the manufacturer.

This video explores the M1895 Lee Navy rifle, a straight-pull bolt-action rifle chambered in 6mm, adopted by the US Navy. Designed by James Paris Lee, it was manufactured by Winchester. The description highlights its association with the USS Maine, with rifles from the ship being salvaged after its explosion and sold by Francis Bannerman. The rifle is presented as a significant historical artifact.

This video delves into the rare 1875 Lee Vertical Action Carbine, an experimental rifle designed by James Paris Lee to significantly increase the rate of fire of single-shot firearms. The presenter highlights its innovative manual of arms, which allowed for a rapid firing rate of 30 rounds per 45 seconds. Only 143 of these rifles were produced at Springfield Armory, and the example shown is the sole surviving carbine variant, making it a significant historical piece for firearms enthusiasts.
