This video delves into the Schlegemilch 1896 rifle, a notable competitor to the Mauser 98 during German military trials. The presenter highlights its unique two-lug bolt action, intricate machining, and distinctive massive bolt shroud. Chambered for the 6x58mm cartridge, the rifle was tested between 1896 and 1898 but ultimately lost to Mauser's design. While a few examples were produced for aristocratic hunting use, the design never entered widespread production. The video also references the Gewehr 1888 and the creator's Patreon and merchandise channels.
