Seems to me that it could have been scaled down slightly to fire 5.56mm. Might have been a nice little carbine that could have given the Ruger Mini14 some stiff competition.
I'll need to check, but I seem to remember Gary Paul Johnston testing a 5.56mm Reising prototype for one of the Harris Publications "Special Weapons" annuals. Don't forget that Reising had previously made a .30 Carbine prototype as well.

Ian, these videos on "Forgotten Weapons" is amazing. I find them highly educating and extremely interesting to watch! Know for certain, that "Forgotten weapons" is my main "lullabier" ;D There is nothing I'd rather watch the last remaining hours of the day than your videos, where you tell us everything about very wonderous weapons, from the history of the hand cannon in its individuality, to the complexity of its mechanism. Thank you, for spending time and energy on making great entertaining and educating material for us! You are such great! Thank You!
Yes! Thanks, Ian! I saw this in the Rock Island catalog and hoped for a video. Even better would be that experimental Stendebach rifle. I wanna know how that thing works!.
Maybe, like the Johnson rifle, it was competing with the already accepted rifle, but wasn't better enough to be worth adopting, even as a substitute standard rifle.
H&R advertised a semi auto sporting rifle in 308, I remember it had a long receiver and used a tilting bolt to lock. I wonder if it was based on the rifle you showed. The rifle was marketed as the H&R semi-auto model 360 in .308cal. and was made from 1965 into the 1970's. Please find on and give us a rundown.
This Reising seems to have some direct influence in the H&R 360 Ultra auto. I had one and its action is very similar. Much like other Reising influences observable in H&R commercial guns.
The overall simplicity and (presumably high) quality of construction should lend itself well to reliability in difficult conditions. I'd gladly pick up one of these if they became commercially available. Brownells, get on this!
Ian, given your experience with all sorts of firearms, have you ever designed one? I'd bet you'd could come with a cool amalgamation of the best features of successful firearms.
Never heard of these. Pretty interesting. It goes to show that designers are always thinking. In this case, Reising took a system that is known to work, and morphed it into a gas operated system using a few off the shelf parts. Pretty ingenious when you think about it. I suspect it might need a cartridge which operates at a bit lower pressure though, or more bolt mass, or both. Still a good concept though, and that is surely why he made it. Great video as always. Thank you

Unrelated but in honor of your comment I'd like to let you know that there is a beer brewed by Brouwerij Het Uiltje (Netherlands) called Rice, Rice Baby. Pretty good IPA actually.
While reading that i had a mental image of Eugene Reising dancing that Vanilla Ice synchronized dance with John Garand, Carbine Williams and Melvin Johnson. Thank you for that
Ian, are you familiar with the commercial H&R Ultra Semi-auto rifle from the 60's? This sure does look like the same mechanism, or at least pretty close. Except for the Ultra's Weatherby-Bugly stock
If the magazines that it used weren't M14 mags (original or modified), then maybe it took T48/FAL mags instead. H&R built the T48 FAL variants for the US military trials (which ended with the adoption of the T44/M14). Bet they had some T48 mags lying around.......
I shot an M-14 in full auto Put two magazines through it. I think with another 100 rounds I would have gotten better at controlling it. I always been Fascinated with the British 280 and the 276 Pedersen. But then I recently read about the British 276 Enfield.
The SMG action made semi auto only would be a good basis for a carbine in multiple calibers 22wmr all the way up to .44mag. give it a charging handle like an mp5 so it's not a knuckle buster. The mag well being a separate piece could be interchanged to use your favorite mags to keep it compatible with your choice of pistol. Hey Turkey ! Get on this!!!
You probably know the history of this better than I do, but The M-14 came at an awkward time, and this came right after that. As soon as the military adopted the M-14, they wanted to replace it. Big Army in the Pentagon planning world war 3 against the soviets were planning the SPIW. Their cold war superweapon. Then the M-16 came along. The Air Force, probably unhappy with the idea of being saddled with WW2 M1 carbines for the foreseeable future jumped on the M-16, and adopted it, rather than letting the army saddle them with their '40s cast offs. But with the pentagon big brass playing their strategy board games in their ivory towers, vietnam came along. Just as they were adopting the M-14, they started fighting a war, and the draft began, and then, while still introducing the M-14, they started trialing the M-16 in Vietnam, and there was an outcry from the public and congress for the military to equip their soldiers in vietnam with the "new" M-16, while the pentagon was shepherding it's pet SPIW through development, while juggling the M1, the introduction of the M-14, and trials of the M-16. Now throw the Reising M-14 alternative into this mix.
Ian reminds me of Steve 1989 who reviews various combat rations, including those over 100 years old. Both Ian and Steve 1989 should collaborate on a project!
Ian "Hey guys, and thanks for tuning in to another episode of Forgotten weapons, I'm Ian McCullum." Steve "Lets get this rifle out onto a tray!" Ian (sighs and facepalms) "No Steve, we talked about this, we aren't going to put the rifle on a tray...." Steve ( whispers under his breath) "Nice...."
Maybe that horizontal sliding ,,hammer" is only solution in delayed locked mechanism patented by Reising? that also has some to do with ,,out of battery" safety.
Hey Ian, will you do an updated video for the Obregon? I'm sure you're aware that there's one at RIA, not sure how interested you are in treading old ground...
@4:08 - *Four years later - Ian's speculation about the trigger guard, was proven correct.* His video on the H&R Prototype, confirms. ua-cam.com/video/DzqoRk5fZ3A/v-deo.html
Looking at the video, the gas piston in that rifle is not standard M14. Standard M14 pistons have an open face. The face of the piston in your video shows only a small hole maybe 1/8 in diameter, maybe smaller. That suggests that the amount of gas venting thru that hole into the gas plug space would be a fraction of normal but perhaps extended over time? That difference alone may have completely changed the shooting characteristics of the rifle as compared to an M14.
this gun is in so many was superior in design to the m14, it seems this would keep all the important parts cleaner and the original safety is in a better place under the shooters thumb
Suppose this design had stuck around long enough to get into the 5.56 era, would that also have required this locked gas system to function, or could they have got away with the subgun system?
According to Rock Island, this rifle uses a standard M-14 magazine. Is this incorrect? It would be kind of downer to spend $25,000 to $40,000 plus fees to end up with a machine gun you can't fire because it uses a magazine that's unavailable.
Matt, I'm sure that's true. Ian says that the standard M-14 mag won't fit while Rock Island says they will. I'm just trying to ascertain which is correct.
Wouldn't using M14 trainer stocks that were made to handle .22LR recoil on a potentially full auto .308 rifle have a negative effect on durability and lifespan of the weapon?
The stock being wooden without any recoil assembly inside, the difference would be hardly noticeable. Still, remember that this was a purely experimental version using many parts laying around the shop. The final version would have probably been more streamlined.
Just Another Videoless Channel. back then stock were over built most 22 stock will handle bigger recoil I used a old mossberg 22 to replace a remington 700 stock and an old no name single shot 22 to restock a early 1900 winchester 94. with a fire damaged stock both 22 were beyond repair one was shot out and the other was in same fire as the Winchester but it rusted to high hell it was a while till I got the rifles the winchester was in better shape as it was in a leather scabbard barrel down allowing butt plate and end of stock to get licked and the 22 was in different area and just rusted for humidity and exposure to heat
I fucking knew I've seen that somewhere before. It's a German variant of the Swedish Kg. m/40. Well the other way around according to Mr. Popenker here, the Swedes bought the design from the Germans. modernfirearms.net/machine/swed/knorr-bremse-m40-e.html
Thinking it could be a Knorr-Bremse / Mg 35/36. A machine gun with a really complicated history and lot's of uncertainty surrounding it, concerning mysterious Swedes and Germans. www.gotavapen.se/gota/artiklar/kg/swedish_kg4.htm That would be something for Ian to tackle
I see this being the same idea for the m14 as the ar-180 was to the ar-15,a cheep more simple to produce alternative to the m14 as a lot of this could be stamped compared to the milling and forging the m14 would have required
Wow I got a super political advertisement before this video. I really appreciate that you keep politics out of your videos Ian. Some of the best gun content on UA-cam
What I do appreciate is the fact that the only politics Ian puts in his videos are the politics relevant to a particular firearm, or a firearm's development.
I really like your videos! Im planing to become a patreon today! I want to donate 1dollar each to Inrange tv and Forgotten Weapons per month, to support your content. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany!
Tim Knapper - Yes and yes. It does not have the issues of the Garand. All commercial 308 is fine. Steel case is ok on a limited basis, but there is not that much steel case 308 out there, at least not that i've ever seen. The M-1A is a fine rifle; i have the Scout Squad version. Enjoy!
Dunno why, but the front half of the rifle looks pretty awesome for some reason. I think you could create a pretty sleek overall design with a new rear.
@Craig Scott It is not locked. It is delayed blowback gun. Rollers are squished when the bolt is forced to go back. The gun which is actually locked by rollers is Czechoslovak vz. 52 pistol.
7.62 nato is a great semi auto rifle cartridge, great general purpose machine gun cartridge, but as a full auto rifle cartridge it's a flipping disaster to powerful, nato should have adopted the 280.british!
@@tonymattingly6494 No you should not, they do not do shit.. The NRA has help get more gun control laws on the books than off..

Hey, Ian. I was at the Bastogne war museum recently and I saw, what I thought was an mp18, but it was in the British military shelf. I really didn't get that. Believe me, I know what an mp18 looks like and I couldn't find any difference. Is there a British copy of the mp18 that I don't know about? If you choose to comment on my comment, thank you in advance. Praise gun Jesus! (P.S) it would mean the world to me if you responded. I will forever spread the word of gun Jesus, for I know he exists. Thanks Ian.
Interesting , but without a magazine, what is it ? , but a big paperweight. ? , it's not that interesting enough to warrant spending the amount of money they probably want for it. !
I have a suspicion that this Reising design did produce at least one functional offshoot. I hadn't noticed it before but the H&R Model 360 Ultrarifle has a remarkably similar bolt locking arrangement and that rifle was an in house development that arose in the 1960's-70's. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out the work done on this Reising prototype didn't end up developing into the Ultrarifle of a few years later.
That makes no sense. Just because it is a one of a kind gun, does not make it desireable. I can make a piece of shit backyard gun, call it "one of a kind", and do you think it will sell for a lot?
+HollandandJasper Of course it makes sense. There are plenty of one-of-a-kind firearms that are extremely valuable, whether they are custom guns or prototypes. And no, if YOU made one it would not be worth a lot. Part of the value of firearm like this one is the association with the individual(s) who designed and built it. In this case, Reising was a talented gun designer, with ties to other famous gun designers. And his 45ACP SMG was used by the USMC, albeit for a short time.
This isn't a backyard gun though, it was a very rare prototype experimental gun that is unique with a lot of history. Let alone it's association yo a famous reputable gun Smith
As with most full auto .308 rifles firing in full auto makes the muzzle start Reising uncontrollably.

I suspect the question would come down to, "What does this offer over the M14?"
I have come back in time to say, a more closed action
A seemingly simpler/more economical design that doesn't leave the top of the receiver open to dirt and debris
7.62x51 has that unexplainable FUN-quality to it.
That rear flip style peep sight looks hauntingly like the early M1 Carbine flip sight - perhaps surplus U.S. G.I. sight purchased on the cheap by H&R?
Or a surplus M1 carbine part made by H&R.... H&R made M1s into the 1950s.
Ian, given your experience with all sorts of firearms, have you ever designed one? I'd bet you'd could come with a cool amalgamation of the best features of successful firearms.

What is the difference between striker and horizontal sliding hammer? Looks the same for me.
A striker has the firing pin attached.
GunsGuy1990 The question is does one have a benefit over the other?
Maybe that horizontal sliding ,,hammer" is only solution in delayed locked mechanism patented by Reising? that also has some to do with ,,out of battery" safety.
Soooo.... this was that m14nesque thing you showed us time ago in FB. Interesting.

Eventually, but not this time.

Matt, I'm sure that's true. Ian says that the standard M-14 mag won't fit while Rock Island says they will. I'm just trying to ascertain which is correct.
Maybe it takes a m14 mag with some slight modification.

Dunno. I'm just looking for an authoritative answer.
Are you gonna do a Reising M50/55 video? would love to see a detailed analysis on the guns

But the front is literally just the front of an M14.
There is no locking surface in HK G3.
Actually the g3 is roller locked so ur incorrect
@Craig Scott It is not locked. It is delayed blowback gun. Rollers are squished when the bolt is forced to go back. The gun which is actually locked by rollers is Czechoslovak vz. 52 pistol.
yeeeahhh!!very early this time!!nice gun jesus vid!!!
I never skip the NRA ad with Dana Loesch
7.62 nato is a great semi auto rifle cartridge, great general purpose machine gun cartridge, but as a full auto rifle cartridge it's a flipping disaster to powerful, nato should have adopted the 280.british!
Now know why you don't like the G3, no confidence in the locking system.
+Sagos DucesRwild I think it has more to do with him not enjoying the "violent" recoil.
Cool :D
I like it
These NRA ads are out of controll
I support the nra soo should you,.
@@tonymattingly6494 No you should not, they do not do shit.. The NRA has help get more gun control laws on the books than off.. Support the G.O.A they are one of the only groups that auctally fight and have over 20 laws suits at a time, and they also fighting to repeal the NFA as we speaks .. Something the NRA HAS NEVER DONE, THEY SUPPORTED IT.
@@tonymattingly6494 why should anyone support them? There are far better and more effective gun advocacy groups. The vast majority of what the NRA does is fund raising, not for legal fees fighting for gun rights, but instead to pay their own salaries which are absolutely absurd.
What? No mag. That's no fun
Hey, Ian.
I was at the Bastogne war museum recently and I saw, what I thought was an mp18, but it was in the British military shelf.
I really didn't get that.
Believe me, I know what an mp18 looks like and I couldn't find any difference.
Is there a British copy of the mp18 that I don't know about?
If you choose to comment on my comment, thank you in advance.
Praise gun Jesus!
(P.S) it would mean the world to me if you responded.
I will forever spread the word of gun Jesus, for I know he exists.
Thanks Ian.
Lanchester SMG, Ian has a video on it and some of the other British SMGs
Anyone more then me that think it looks like a air gun, at first look.
Interesting , but without a magazine, what is it ? , but a big paperweight. ? , it's not that interesting enough to warrant spending the amount of money they probably want for it. !
Waaannnnttttt

His name is Ian.
Looks very uncontrollable.
I have a suspicion that this Reising design did produce at least one functional offshoot. I hadn't noticed it before but the H&R Model 360 Ultrarifle has a remarkably similar bolt locking arrangement and that rifle was an in house development that arose in the 1960's-70's. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out the work done on this Reising prototype didn't end up developing into the Ultrarifle of a few years later.
It 100% is.
I shall rename this and the machine gun the shitty wine gun because it sounds like Riesling
Waaaaay too expensive for a one of a kind, obscure gun
+HollandandJasper That is exactly why it is so expensive! :P
That makes no sense. Just because it is a one of a kind gun, does not make it desireable. I can make a piece of shit backyard gun, call it "one of a kind", and do you think it will sell for a lot?
+HollandandJasper Of course it makes sense. There are plenty of one-of-a-kind firearms that are extremely valuable, whether they are custom guns or prototypes. And no, if YOU made one it would not be worth a lot. Part of the value of firearm like this one is the association with the individual(s) who designed and built it. In this case, Reising was a talented gun designer, with ties to other famous gun designers. And his 45ACP SMG was used by the USMC, albeit for a short time.
once you reach adult age you will get a grasp of what collecting is about
This isn't a backyard gun though, it was a very rare prototype experimental gun that is unique with a lot of history. Let alone it's association yo a famous reputable gun Smith
