This video delves into the history and design of Frank Wesson's Rimfire Carbine, a firearm patented in 1859. The carbine, initially a sporting rifle, later saw a military variant with a .44 Rimfire chambering and a 24-inch barrel. Its unique dual-trigger system, where the front trigger tipped the barrel for loading and the rear fired the shot, is highlighted. A significant design flaw, the absence of an extractor, is discussed as a major user inconvenience. Despite this, the carbine saw limited service through the Civil War, with several thousand military models sold to state militias and a small number to the Federal government. Wesson continued to refine the design, eventually adding an extractor, and it remained commercially available until 1888, finding use on the Western frontier by both settlers and Native Americans due to its rugged simplicity.
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.
