Ode de Hoppes?

That's a matter for our properly licensed and presumably insured handloader. If you pass us an email I can forward it.

But now you have Flash MX on your resume.

I find them fairly average for the period, just those high blades...

Thank you for the support!

What load did you use to mimic 7.5x53.5 GP90?

Another victim of rapidly advancing technology. I should start showing this channel to anyone who does not understand why being around at the dawn of the personal computer era was EXTREMELY painful for me. Agonizingly learn one thing, cursing all the way; have to agonizingly learn its replacement, cursing all the way, six months later.

Nice and the gun is a really an unusual design ...but I hate the sights...wouldn't want to fight with that

Really, Really enjoy the less well-known firearms (less well known to me at least). Really enjoy the well known ones. Am a total history nerd so love the back history, the bickering by newspaper in this episode was a nice touch. Thank you both for all your hard work!

C&Rsenal

Both wild designs.

I'm not sure but at least it helps with the accounting and deferred liability.

C&Rsenal

Well you get two

Always thought a line of cologne made with Hoppes 9 and leather would be amazing- might even wear some! Thanks so much for another great episode and REALLY enjoyed the Berthier reattack. With much respect for your work, G

You’ve made me appreciate the long action of the 1889 because of its development history with compressed black powder. This and the Mannlicher 1886 would’ve been my choice for a late black powder rifle, very advanced indeed.
