This video focuses on the Palmer Cavalry Carbine, a historically significant firearm. The description highlights its status as the first bolt-action firearm adopted by the US military, its single-shot rimfire design patented in 1863, and its delivery to the US cavalry in 1865, just after the Civil War concluded, preventing combat service. The video also points out design similarities to the later Ward-Burton rifle, specifically the interrupted-thread locking lugs, while noting the Palmer's independent hammer mechanism.
