I just go a rifle that my grandfather brought back from Germany after WW2, my uncle passed away and I got the ammo he had reloaded and the dies etc. inspected the rifle, checked good, fired four shots, the fourth shot the case ruptured just above the rim. I was very glad I had on gloves and eye protection. I will be very hesitant to fire again, but I am sure I’ll do it.
Wow where did you get that awesome stock. Its perfect. Mines pitted and beat. It does have the correct period markings on the stock but I dont think I can steam out this much damage. Yours is pristine!!!Id love to find a nice stock and have looked but super duper rare.
you missed 1! you put 5 in the loading gate then added one to chamber. Just saying. anyway-beautiful rifle. And your shooting stance and hold is excellent. Rock solid.
Just I know who designed a Mauser 71/84 is Alfred von kropatschek from Austria and that is first German bolt action repeating rifle and also you can see movie in the last samurai.

Thanks for watching. Congrats on your heirloom. That's a bummer the case blew. I'm glad you're OK. Once bitten does make people twice shy. 🙂
Great video. After shooting, do you just have to clean the bore or does fouling find its way into the action?
Finally after many years I bought a wonderful Mauser 1871-74..... It's a fantastic rifle!!! Greetings from Italy!!
Thanks for watching. That's awesome. I hope you're still enjoying it and greetings from the U.S.

Beautiful rifle, where did you get your brass from?
you can reform .45-90 by turning the rim to 15mm dia then lube and resize. 11.15x60mm.
Awesome thank you@@RabbitusMaximus
Beautiful rifle

would you want to sale this rifle let me know
What a joy, does bp kick more than smokeless
No wads? Great video, great old gun!
Thanks for watching. No, I didn't use any wads.
You only need wadding if there’s an air space in the cartridge.
Black powder should be measured, not weighed.
Best!
I've the rifle, beautiful.
Thank you.
Bad thing is finding 43 Mauser brass is not easy
You can resice 45 90.
