The Mystery Rifle Returns with Firearms Expert Jonathan Ferguson
This video revisits a mysterious prototype rifle discovered by firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson from the Ministry of Defence Pattern Room. Initially unlabelled and with an unknown mechanism, the rifle's origins are explored through clues from its cartridge (.400/375 Nitro Express) and patent digging, suggesting a design period between 1905-1920. Potential inspirations, including a Holland & Holland hunting rifle, are discussed, along with reasons for its potential failure. The video concludes with the permanent removal of the 'Unknown' label.
