I have a Erfurt 1917 Kar98az. It is a truly amazing rifle!
Mine has a unit disc that is now illegible however I was told that they were never issued with one. Only with the hole through the stock to allow for disassembly of the bolt. I was told mine was slapped on later by somebody who didnt know any better and plugged up the hole.
Makes sense because it was also modified to take a Lee enfield butt plate which I am not very happy about and on the the hunt for the plate that belongs to the rifle. Its a shame that its the only part that does not match, everything else is numbered and matched right down to the firing pin.
Love your shows, keep them coming!
Being that I have Portuguese descendants and heritage, could you please do an episode on Portuguese involvement and battles of the first world war :)
Thank-you! -
gesh lady easy on the bolt :)
-
Please stop butchering even the easiest German words/names. A 10 second Google search can tell you how to pronounce any word in any language. Just my 2 cents
-
is this similar to dreyse needle gun?
-
I'm liking the babe......
-
LOL @ "Shleggel Milk"
-
this girl seems like shooting her ex-boyfriends!
-
98k AZ Aufpflanz- und Zusammensetzvorrichtung, as mentioned in the video "Aufpflanzvorrichtung" meaning a device for mountin a bayonet and "Zusammensetzvorrichtung" meaning tool for "assembling/putting together"
-
God damnit,
It's pronounced
"Ge-ver" -
Funny comparing this to the battlefield 1 weapons xD
-
Gawahr :)
-
German guns... I'm in love :D
-
Machine guns🔫
-
I swear during the shooting segments it seems as if they added a different sound effect over the original sound of the gun. Might just be the mic/camera though.
-
why no british pistol or rifle episodes?
-
It's not "Gewahr", it's "Gewehr", with a german e like in the word "maybe"
-
Lol. She's all ways smiling she is shooting a 100 year old gun but is so bold
-
Excuse me but what's the role of the demonstration with shooter girl? Were you trying to show that even chicks with glasses dressed in pink can shoot those rifles?
In the U.S.A. [where you haven't lived for 20 years; loved the Stockholm episode, altho' you couldn't pay me to live somewhere that cold & rainy], firearm collectors can register with our BATFE [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives; one of the bad Roosevelt's unconstitutional alphabet agencies that still plagues us] for a special category of firearm license that allows one to purchase firearms of a collectible nature thru the mail. There's all sorts of record-keeping regulations, etc. so for many people it's not worth the trouble, but I can guarantee you Othais is one of these special licensees. It's called a "Curio and Relic" federal firearms license or "C&R ffl." Licensees are often referred to as "Crufflers" [as if you tried to pronounce "CRffl"er], and for the channel that Othais produces, the title is a play upon the word "Arsenal" [a storehouse for weapons] and "C&R" where the ampersand supplies the "A" in arsenal, and the "R" the r, ergo, not "Car-senal" as you've said multiple times, but "Cee And R"-senal. Get it?
Merry Christmas! My little gift to you as I sit around and binge watch The Great War, trying to get caught up to Dec 1916. Joyeux Noel! Frohe Weinacht!
