Small Arms of WWI Primer 066: Portuguese Vergueiro

Well, he's definitely going to have to cover the Madsen Light Machine Gun. It's the first LMG for most of the Central Powers and the Empire of Russia.

P.S.: was just about to make a big buy of some vintage rifles from Samco Global a few years ago, literally weeks before they went bust, so I dodged *that* bullet, but if I'd just managed to scrape together the funds a few weeks sooner, I wouldn't be looking at the inflated price$ Classic Firearms has been $elling of Samco's old $tock for & kicking myself all the while... ::-\

@ Dunxy: where's "here," btw? My CZ24 was still relatively cheap *years* after the inexpensive Swedes had all gone away [I'm trapped behind the Granola Curtain, in Low Cal So.Cal. where the $ is plastic & the people are too!]

Woot! Gr8 news, I can hardly wait! When you get to the Swiss, you'll be able to work in that great "Shoot twice & go home" line said by the Swiss sergeant to Kaiser Wilhelm! ;-D

One day we will have the time for neutrals! Thankfully, Swiss excluded, most bought a version of a rifle we are covering.

Unlikely Othais' will be gracing us with the low-down on the Swedes, since, as a neutral power, they weren't actually a participant in WW1 [or 2], so their arms get ignored in a closely-focused project like this one. But the m96 is truly great, & I only wish I'd had a chance at an m38 before they all got scooped up! :-\

Much love for the 6.5! Got a couple of Swede's myself,a 1905 m96 and a '42 m38, very accurate and underated (at least locally, could barely buy a flogged k98 for cost of both my Swedes combined here, the short rifle is very tidy all original ) compared to pretty well all other Millitary rifles, i guess due to very little use in conflict. I hope one day you guys do an episode/s on the Swede's. Safe and happy christmas and new year to all.

great gun, wonderful video all! and that 75yd group.... personal note, don't piss off Mae!

Awesome episode Alberto didn’t live to long great grouping Mae
