Adventures in Surplus: Chromed Argentine 1891 Parade Rifle
This video explores an Argentine Model 1891 rifle with a unique chromed finish. Initially believed to be a bubba modification, further research suggests these were likely drill or parade rifles for the Argentine Navy. The rifle features chromed small parts that show significant wear, contrasting with the blued barrel and receiver. The presenter expresses a personal dislike for the aesthetic but acknowledges the historical interest and the lesson about not making assumptions without thorough investigation.
