This video explores the unique falling block rifles designed and manufactured by Hans Larsen, a renowned Norwegian competitive marksman and gunsmith from the late 1800s. Larsen's company produced a diverse range of firearms, including muzzleloaders and various breechloading rifles. While his designs were popular in Norway for target and sporting use, they eventually lost ground to the military-adopted Krag-Jorgensen rifle. The video highlights a specific single-shot falling block rifle demonstrating Larsen's distinctive action. The description also mentions Larsen's unsuccessful competition for Norwegian military contracts and the rarity of his firearms in the United States. The video also promotes the creator's Patreon and merchandise.
