This Q&A video from Forgotten Weapons covers a wide range of firearms topics, starting with a follow-up on restoring the Elbonian military. It delves into understanding collectible firearm pricing, the desirability of German small arms, and design considerations like recoil spring placement and fluted barrels. The discussion also touches on military trials, gas-delayed blowback, and the longevity of cartridges like 7.62x54R. Historical firearms are explored through comparisons of the StG44 with Cold War rifles, the Farquhar-Hill in WWI, and the rationale behind military adoption choices. Specific firearms mentioned include the Mauser DA90, a Half-Life: Alyx pistol inspiration, the Mauser 1892, Krag, M1 Carbine, Thompson SMG, and the UK's E.M.2 vs. SA80. Practical advice for firearms writers and collecting on a budget are also included.
This video delves into the history and design of the Spanish Mauser Model 1892, highlighting it as a transitional variant in the development of the famed Mauser bolt-action rifle. It details unique features such as its improved single-stack magazine, cartridge-case disassembly, central safety for bolt removal, long rotary extractor, and receiver guide rib. The description explains that while Spain approved the 1892 pattern, it was largely superseded by the improved 1893 model with its flush double-stack magazine, resulting in a limited production run. The video likely showcases the rarity and technical aspects of this specific Mauser variant.
