Stamm-Saurer Model 1913 Long-Recoil Prototype Rifle
This video explores the Stamm-Saurer Model 1913, a rare long-recoil prototype rifle developed in Switzerland. The presenter details Hans Stamm's work at the Saurer company, focusing on this second-pattern semiauto rifle which emerged after his earlier Model 1907 straight-pull rifle was unsuccessful. The prototype was offered to Swiss and Belgian militaries but ultimately rejected, with WWI halting further adoption possibilities. The video also references previous Stamm designs and thanks the Swiss Shooting Museum in Bern for access to the rare firearms.
