This video explores a rare Mauser 1902 Prototype Long Recoil Rifle, detailing Paul Mauser's persistent efforts to develop a practical semi-automatic rifle for full-power cartridges. It highlights the rifle's unique long recoil action, a 2-lug rotating bolt, and a disconnect feature for the barrel recoil spring. The description notes the rifle's historical context, including previous design failures and the eventual sporterization of this specific example. Despite reported extraction and ejection issues that led Mauser to abandon the design, this rifle represents a significant and rare piece of Mauser's experimental firearms history.
