Figures for rear echelon, too long for front line duty at that point. -N

Nah my dude, all these shorts inside are done with dummy rounds. I don’t like having extra ventilation in my garage . -N

The over simplified 1911 in .30 cal -N

@SurplusBoysChannel well if you're going to copy something, copy the best.

It be a Vetterli, Beaumonts are a little harder to find here. -N

@SurplusBoysChannel they don't exactly show up in the middle aisle of Aldi here either 😄

That’s always a given. Main 6.5 surplus guns being the Swede Mauser, Dutch Mannlicher, Mannlicher-Schönauer, Arisaka, and Carcano. The Carcano is the bottom of the list with being easy to get running good, especially WWI long rifles from being shot out. BUT with anyone who collects surplus the Carcano is a must. -N

@SurplusBoysChannel even though the model 91 Carcano's were imported by the UVF so still quite historical in an Irish context, they're still well down my particular wish list. I'm on a bit of a French buzz at the moment.

Ah how’s the stock of lebels, berthiers, and mas36s over there? Here in the states any decent French gun is hard to find, lebels being the hardest, you can find Gras easier here. -N

@SurplusBoysChannel lebel and Berthier are common enough and pretty affordable, I picked my Berthier up for €200 . MAS36 and MAS49 or later still chambered in 7.5 French are harder to find because of French law restricting anything chambered in a military cartridge so most were converted to .284 winchester and they can be had fairly cheaply but who the hell wants them.

Dang, good lebels and berthiers start at around $1,000 here, same thing with MAS 36s. MAS49s are a little more common but still expensive. -N

Eddystone was a subsidiary of Baldwin locomotive works as it was built as a second production plant for locomotives. Yes did Baldwin build the rifle plant for Remington. Yes they did But that was a separate building. Look at some Baldwin locomotives and you will eddystone on the builders plate. Eddystone built locomotives for the UK and the Russian 2-10-0 Russian decopod that got ordered for the first world war. - P

@SurplusBoysChannel Eddystone is the name of the town in Pennsylvania where the Baldwin Locamotive factory was. Remington used the name Eddystone to differentiate the plant from the one in Ilion New York, where they were filling contracts for 1891 Mosin Nagants for the Czar of Russia. The only connection to Baldwin Locamotives was that Baldwin made a lease agreement with Remington and then built to suit their needs. It was room at the Baldwin facility that was, otherwise, not being used.

@@GIJeaux1 Baldwin locomotive works was out of Philadelphia. eddystone was a a separate plant owned by Baldwin in eddystone PA. This might be a gun channel but railroads and stuff I have studied my whole life. Look it up before you comment. - P

Remington Fudd-ified an already fine hunting rifle with that update. -N

As unfortunate Jerseyites that’s not possible -N

I'm happy we inspired you to clean it. That's part of what we do as curators history and happy to share. That's a good idea for a video. I know Nick has had some problems with his. - Patrick

Sorry there but you’re always a busy man and this was planned last second anyways

10.4 was about 50 gr fff of triple 7 and a cast 350 gr .430 RFN 95% lead 5% tin 8x50 was 44 gr of PPU powder taken from the 7.62x54r parent case and soft point flat base .323 taken from some 8mm Mauser I had. Comes at about 1900 fps average -N

Cop staches for the win -N

Milsurp munitions makes it. And if you reload PPU sells .268 bullets too

Yeah I’m surprised that PPU doesn’t completely switch over. They do make the right sized bullets but maybe all their brass drawing dies are set to .264 and they don’t want to spend the time and money to switch just for that one cartridge. -N

@@SurplusBoysChannel that makes sense. I'm just happy they still make what they do, they're keeping my milsurps shooting

I went to the Allentown antique show this past weekend and there were a good bit of sporter krags, enfields, arisakas and such. Was very tempted to make a stubby out of one. -N

Good question, we gotta take this thing apart completely cuz some of the markings look like they’ve were light strikes. -N

I think out of all the WWI carbines the Berthier is the hardest of them all. -N

@@SurplusBoysChannel that's for sure

Indeed. So the more strict a state is about its gun laws the more it gets that title. It’s a nice place to live, but not for gun nuts like ourselves. Also compared to other states it has the worst taxes out of all 50.

Do it, take it out of its misery from being a bubba sporter and bring it to the light of adorably short milsurp. -N

Ya better watch yourself -N

Anything for the department of propaganda! -N

‘Twas quite an event, stay tuned for the bloopers for this event. -N

I’m not too well versed in Ireland’s gun laws but I would figure they’re not the best. So I would guess milsurps would be more popular there since they are usually low capacity and not semi automatic. Go figure -N

@@SurplusBoysChannel Hunting rifles are the most popular type, then target rifles. The laws are what they are, they're not perfect but I'd take them over having no regulations at all. My main beef is who arbitrate them. Our police and they're useless.

@Irishpewtuber ah see people are too soft or too extreme. Either you wanna play it safe and get a hunting rifle or you’re crazy and need to split taint hairs off a fly at a 1/2 mile. Surplus fits right in the middle, reliable and can get the job done with hunting, not overly expensive, and is a little on the crazy side considering some of them can be over 120 years old. -N

Also do your police just pick on kids skateboarding around instead of actually stopping crimes like here in NJ. -N

Actually our crime isn't that bad, mainly their role is traffic management and they're shite at that. Each firearm here has to be licenced separately and for distinct purposes, owning a firearm for self defence is not an acceptable reason and your certificate application will be denied. No one likes the AR platform here really on top of that the licencing authority (the police) will be dubious about licensing one but licenced my mini 14 and FAL without issue, they took their time but that's normal.

That’s the only thing sporter rifles are good for, making them into pseudo military carbines. -N
