I think your theory on the absence of the safety Improvements on most of the Enfield Revolvers is correct. I own Enfields with Queensland, New South Wales, Victorian and North West Mounted Police provenance. None have the safety upgrades. I also own two British Navy marked Mark I's, one has the side safety and the other has the internal safety with S marking. BTW, your Mark II (serial A1853) is listed in "Arms & Accoutrements of the Mounted Police" as being issued to the North West Mounted Police. Also the fatal incident on HMS Flying Fish did indeed occur in the far east. It happened while the ship was undertaking survey duties around Melville Island just off the coast of Australia's Northern Territory, near today's city of Darwin.
I first saw this gun carried by John Cleese's character in Silverado, where he was an immigrant from the UK who became an Old West Sheriff. They could've just given him an American gun and it would've been entirely logical that he simply bought one after he immigrated, but they went the extra mile and it gave him an implied history that I've always appreciated.
"Ballistol: it certainly beats peeing in it!" Now *there* is a great slogan...and possibly the best Gun-Tuber T-shirt since "Just put your thumb in it".
Oh, so now Othias is dropping primers in the middle of work. I'm just going to have to pretend I didn't see this notification and I certainly didn't type this comment... not until after work.
I am a former small atms repair guy for the US Army, and then as a gunsmith. I will be (or at least would have been) willing to die with the words, "CLP OR NOTHING," on my lips. I tried Ballistol... Now I have to agree that it is just as good, if not better. Easier to use, too!
Your buddy Tom who open carries this is awesome. Quite the flex to have this as an every day carry and seriously carry it 😂👍 I'd hope he never has to use it, but if he does I'd wonder if it vs a more modern option would make the difference in making it out or not. But until then, he gets to be the crazy / wild / awesome guy who carries a 140ish year old gun
I would love to see Othais and Mae do a fun "time-warp" video to fit right in with all these "steam-punk" revolvers: "The Smith and Wesson TRR8 - The Ultimate Evolution of the Wheelgun". Straight-faced historical development, complete with Mae demonstrating moon-clips, attachable gadgets, magnum ammunition, and of course, a discussion of whether she would carry one in the trenches, if "war were declared". April 1st would be a good release date. 😁
Man, I need this work day to end quickly. C%Rsenal talking about obscure revolvers? Let me get my cigar, my near beer with Balistol chaser, and my cold weather porch hoodie and lets go!
39:03 Hoo boy, it's been a long time since I had to bust out the kinematic equations so this mightn't be correct, but here's what I got. final velocity squared equals initial velocity squared plus double the acceleration due to gravity times distance Assuming a starting velocity of zero m/s and a drop of one meter (for simplicity), final velocity squared would be ~4.4m/s. Since the gun weighs 1.13kg, the momentum with which the hammer is struck will be 5.003 kg*m/s. Therefore, divide five by the time during which this impact is applied and that's the total force in Newtons... I think.
@11:47 sometimes a cut like that isn't functional to the final piece but rather to the parts holding during machining. They may have redone the tooling in order to eliminate needing those extra cuts.
Seeing the ballistics of those shortish revolver cartridges with their 265 grain bullets at a nominal 700 feet per second (fps) jogged an old memory. Way back in the 1990s, a few IPSC shooters were experimenting with very heavy for caliber 260 grain .45 ACP loads at about that velocity. Their thought was that the heavy bullets easily made major while subjecting the shooter to relatively slow and light recoil, allowing quicker recovery and increasing speed. We argued about it, but never really came to any conclusion. Truth was that we were all fortyish or fiftyish chairborne warrior weekend shooters at the time, and we were not any challenge to faster reflexes and younger eyes of the twenty somethings. It does suggest that heavy for caliber .45 ACP loads might have merited a place in WWI’s large frame .45 ACP 1917 revolvers.
A lot of that same logic comes in with the various subsonic projectiles that are coming into trend because of the new and very welcome ubiquity of suppressors. If you want more energy we'll keep in your bullet under a certain velocity there's only one way to get it. Cut his led to a lot of people shooting 147's or even 150 is at a 9 mm and saying they like the feel. Which is kind of funny because late '80s and early 90s answer to the supposed problems with a 9 mm ballistics were to throw more weight at it. So you saw all the cops and cop copiers shooting 147 grain hydrashoks. But 9 mm doesn't push those fast enough to expand as consistently as lighter bullets. So a lot of the 90s through early 2000s supposed cop quality bullets weren't as good as the 115 to 125 grain versions of the same product line. The 147s look good in gel unless you moved to the gel back a bit. It's easy to understand why 40 Smith & Wesson was popular at the time given the same bullet design technology they had enough speed and energy to reliably expand anywhere from 165 to 180 any day of the week and kind of any conceivable distance.
@@GunFunZS I recall the big thing in the 80s and 90s for 9mm was actually low weight high velocity round like Pow'r'ball with light 70 to 90 grain projectiles because they expanded well in water tank tests and 'muzzle energy' calculations that were the standard at the time. Then the 40 s&w took over because of the perception of 9mm failure, and that the early standard weight 9mm not being able to perform adequately through barrier tests the FBI demanded( something the 40 still is superior for) . 147 gr 9mm like Gold Dots and HST became a popular LE option because it works well in shorter barrel lengths becoming more common as either backups(G26 size subcompacts) or smaller standard issue( G19) and full size guns. 124gr +p is still the 'best' but is also best in full size guns. 147gr standard pressure still meets FBI spec, just doesn't exceed it in all metrics.
Thank you Othias. Pre decimalised British currency was spoken of as £X, Ys and Zd eg 11Pounds, 12 and 6. Written as £11/12/6. I will leave aside half crowns, guineas and farthings as that way lies madness. 1/2d pronounced ha’penny, 2d tuppence, 3d thruppence. Never mind tanner, bob, florin, quid etc…………. with 1,008 farthings to the Guinea, 4 Crowns to the pound and 2 to half a nicker. Now you know why it was decimalised.
Yeah, same for me. Like I saw all the data on their size and weight early in the episode (okay, fine, they were in idio- erm. Freedom-measurements), but I did not get a proper view for the size in Othais' hands. But the guns were looking ridiculously big in Mae's hands.
I would love to hear a first hand story about someone that used the mkI in a way that required hand to hand combat and getting in enough of a scuffle that the cylinder rotated to an empty chamber unexpectedly. Usually when they make changes it's only because someone actually experienced that problem in the field.
The Ballistol sponsorship is genius because it is also irresistable comment-section engagement-bait for people who instead swear by CLP or Rem Oil or whatever.
I hate CLP. Remoil is okay in a pinch, but I've used Clenzoil for years. I haven't seen ballistol in any store that I can remember but if it's priced okay I wouldn't be opposed to getting some.
Peeing in it. Ha, I knew an old Korean war vet that said that's how they cooled down their weapons when they were fighting the Chinese and North Koreans. Funny things you remember watching this channel.
this is such a cool gun. it is the British version of the Merwin Hulbert revolver. i honestly think this gun was better though. I'm actually a little surprised they didn't make it a true top break but hey, it's still a neat gun
Dunno, but I really like this revolver, it looks so clean, the blueing is near perfect. There is something about them. But I also like guns that show some wear and tear, some history.
Commment for the algorithm, and because UA-cam keeps hiding C&Rsenal from me. I've been a subscriber and supporter for years UA-cam, I still want to see the new public releases.
Is double action that useful with black powder? My experience with black powder has been with single shot rifles and I get so much smoke that I think could cock a single action in time for the smoke to clear for a second shot. Are revolvers less smoky because of smaller powder charges?
What's better than an Enfield Mk.1 interchangeable? Why a Mk.2, well maybe except for those sights, good Lord! Still such a cool and interesting piece, thanks you guys keep up the great work 👍
@@GunFunZS It pops up in the big box stores around here from time to time. Bass Pro/Cabela's (same company now). I ended up with some through Midway USA on another order.

Cost difference of 6 and 8 from the first and 12 and 4 from the second. So roughly x3 and x6 up from the reported 2 and 6 savings. Weird that they went with such a small number instead.

The cracking of the fingers at ~2:26 made me cringe. Not everyone will react this way, but something that you may want to try to avoid. Love the episodes!
Something I have noticed over the years is that anything mechanical that is British, is completely fiddley and unreliable. I think the reason is that they are stuck on tiny islands and get bored, so they purposely build stuff that needs constant tinkering. Off the top of my head, Triumph motorcycles and MG cars come to mind
Othias, do you know when the tee shirts will ship? This looks overbuilt and not pleasing to the eye! Not including being dangerous! Do pistols in this era have no testing and requirements? Good stuff!
It certainly could have been much worse. Under fighting conditions it would likely give you 6 reliable shots (almost) every time. It certainly beats harsh words and a wagging finger.
@@mattfleming86 Of course - speed reloads simply weren't a thing. It's much like the SA80 situation - objectively not the best design, but (once fixed!) perfectly serviceable. I was speaking in firearms enthusiast/ideal design terms rather than the in-context 'user' experience (mind you, getting shot through the head by your own pistol is definitely a negative!).
These shows start to become esoteric. I almost fear Othias' "War was declared" to become some sort of eschatological truth. 😁 Oh, I use Ballistol to soften my moustache wax. Work wonders AND give a lovely smell.
Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is ... not another episode about some old revolver if only to upset Bojan. 😉 Jokes aside, I get that developmental history matters and you work with what you get when you get it but when will we something different?

I just watch on my lunch
Listening at work gang rise up.
I didn’t see you doing it.
Happened to be in the market for some CLP. Thanks to ballistol for supporting my favorite UA-cam channel, in turn I bought two bottles.

These are such delightful pieces of history. The selective extraction is a fun but crazy idea.
So much for getting work done this afternoon.
hooray.. a primer
You need to try these against the Merwin & Hulbert & see how they compare!
Keep up the Great work!
And here i thought i was weird for carrying a 1915 webley. My hats off to him.

Realized I had a payment issue and corrected it glad to be supporting you again
Also just bought balistol for the first time
Thanks for the content homie
Woo hoo my home state of Queensland mentioned in a Primer Ep!
Man, I need this work day to end quickly. C%Rsenal talking about obscure revolvers? Let me get my cigar, my near beer with Balistol chaser, and my cold weather porch hoodie and lets go!
Thank you for going the distance with these weapons. The depth of your research and insights are more than a cut above.
Another wonderful episode on something I knew very little about!
Idk why late 1880's English revolvers that I'll probably never own intrigue me so much but they do
Same here, they have a distinctive style to them. You can just look at this thing and know it is British.
Huzzah the beard brings many smart words.
I love that I caught this release!
I had shjt to do, but not now!

It is a piece with its own charms, with very little of anything else.
Amazing Video! These videos greatly help me keep my stress down when I writing papers for my classes.
Boy would I like to see you compare the Enfield to the “other” DA/SA, simultaneous eject, gate loader: Merwin & Hulbert.

Would be interesting to see the Merwin revolvers on this to see if they work any better with the slide forward ejection.

I've always felt using soap and warm water worked the best in cleaning black powder guns. Then you use oil afterwards to lubricate and protect.
