Maybe patreon members can spring for some more updated attire for you.
Love the Monty Python reference
I do love how willing and wanting you are to update your episodes
Only complaint I have is that it's not episode 30 for the type 30. Heheh
NO!!! No.1 is the Larch!!!
Old footage of Mae with the Type 38 ? (Green short sleeve shirt).
Second shot it vented gas out the top of the receiver !
Ooooh… I was really expecting "No. 3… The Japanese Larch…"
If someone could ever make me a Type 30 in a modern cartridge, hell even something smaller, I’d be ecstatic. The ammo find is tricky and I do not have the means to reload costs effectively
I've noticed that Mae often has her shirt untucked on the gun side. Is there a practical reason for this? Just curious. Sometimes good ideas are not obvious to me.
Great video! Not blaming the shooter or gun, but still had a good laugh at 25:10.
That long length was also VERY useful for bayonet fighting the Russians with their Mosin Nagants. Can we get some bayonet fighting info? 🙂
Fact, Japanese men averaged 5 feet 4 when this rifle was issued. It was designed for shorter and smaller individuals.
Slight over pressure or poor seal on shot #4? Saw some gas leakage from the bolt that didn’t happen the other four shots.
More Mae! #sharpshootingwaifu
Cool
The larch. The larch.
Excellent ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It really has a collection of valuable, historical and antique weapons ✅⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
hmm yes
thank you for the t r e e s l i d e s h o w
Can any of the owners of the Arisaka Type 30 tell me, are the serial numbers on the receiver and bolt suppose to match? Or are they like the early Type 38s which are different? Thank you.
Nice Monty Python reference.
Dear Othias, thanks again for another fascinating show. One detail: Walnut, beech and judas are all fairly hard, dense and heavy. The problem with chipping comes from brittle characteristics having to do with the weak lignin between fibers and their orientation. You dealt with that on the rifle with the pieces glued up on one stock. In fact, walnut is perhaps the most common wood used in firearms, certainly with high quality ones. Several walnuts are not actually that, so common names in the wood market are tricky. Beech is common on planes and saw handles. Judas is lesser known to us but described as a hard furniture and tool wood. With any wood, burl is frequently used because there is not so much a single direction that the fibers take, rather they are are curled around each other. Keep 'em comin'!
Its curious to see yet again in older Meiji era (in 3:00) art show Japanese look curiously just like westerners. They had little self-esteem issues?
Does that rack of rifles in the background make anyone else start to drooling ?
I'm curious who your gun supplier is or where you get your guns?；？
