As a big ForgottenWeapons fan this channel is a great find! I hope you'll get lots of subs and views incoming now that your harpoon video got featured in multiple websites!
Never change! Great channel and videos with the only emotion being the love of the firearms and collecting. Thousands of gun channels, all almost the same save a few. I've seen many start and within a period evolve into a cut-out of the others. You have a unique perspective and perception that I enjoy and I doubt I am alone. Peace of Christ.
Excellent video, thanks very much. S & L are becoming popular in the UK now and the fact they produce their own scope rings and moderators is no bad thing.
Hi John, S&L are so well made I - they preserved what is best about gunmaking; the Legacy is about as good as it gets; although I can't find one to purchase and have only examined one owned by a friend. Other gunmakers can look to S&L to see how even now, things can be done the right way.
About the length of firearms: in Germany we hunt a lot from treesands. There isn’t a lot of space to handle a long rifle. So we need guns, easy to manipulate. In Germany we call it „fuehrig“. They must be as short as possible. I hope you understand now the need of the short M66, Blaser R93/R8/SR830, Sauer 202 Forest,.... I love your channel ;)
Very interesting S&L rifles with the locking lugs at the rear. The ones I have seen so far are converted K98 actions with new barrels and many with match stocks, usually chambered in 6.5x55. I’ll stay on the lookout for one of these, love the smooth bolt. Cheers.
I was researching them a while ago, then emailed the company for a list of US retailers and received no answer. They cut-rifle the barrels, which makes them worthy of collecting since mass producers today rifle barrels using hammer-forging and some use buttoning. I like how you explain the length of the bolt lift in relation to cam angles. Your understanding of mechanics is admirable.
Mauser The original company was shut down over 20 years ago, some of the staff moved and reopened it . There has been a few problems with some batches of the new rifles. Jensen Rifles in Denmark is staffed with former SL Otterup staff and they have the original barrel machinery .
Bolt lift: 45 degrees. The four lug locking mechanism dictates so. (This assumes the lugs and locking recesses are equally spaced.) Effort to life bolt and cock relates to smoothness of mating surfaces of camming pieces AND degree of rotation of bolt. Both springs (theoretically) need the same amount of compression, so a shorter life requires a steeper camming angle to cock the striker. A shorter set of stairs to climb the same height has to be steeper than a long set. Later he catches up. Schutz & Larsen make great rifles. The rear locking lugs were long considered to be less accurate than forward mounted lugs, but it seems - I could be wrong - much of this was due to the tolerances of some rear locking rifles. It seems to work for S&L. I'd like to have a Schultz and Larsen, but think I will stick with slightly more affordable rifles for now.
I have a 7x61 S&H chambered model 70 pre 64. Looking to get some brass for it or maybe sell to someone who who loads this themselves. Been wanting to shoot it but its almost impossible to find ammo
Those are very nice rifles. I like those actions functioning, the Colt is especially intricate. Ever since seeing fine rifles with white line spacers as a kid, I just never liked them. I don’t know why other than I like wood put together cleanly. Maybe I associate different pieces of wood joined cleanly together like fine pieces of furniture as more aesthetic.
Brilliant collection and wonderful videos. Couldn't help noticing your finger on the trigger quite often ?? In our training here in Canada this would not be an acceptable practice. Love your collection and your thorough explanations on the features. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your beautiful collection.
I relly wish i had looked fter Sl more frantic years ago,but i have a 65 dl .358 Norma , with Pachmyr pad on . One i need to get once is one of them in .378
Apparently this is very classic rifle with great quality. Unfortunately no one sells them in Bulgaria although they are made in Europe. I read the new issue of a hunting magazine today, from 13 rifle ads or reviews only 3 rifles are with wooden stocks. I guess this illustrates the tendency very well.
Hello Dimitar - It is like the flu - spreading all over - for now. I thought that they at least look okay for longer than wood but I was wrong. I see them after one hunting trip : the black plastic is scratched and has dents; some areas are "fuzzy" from abrasion - these are not tough stocks; the plastic seems to be quite soft. Of course there are different materials used by the different manufacturers - some better and some worse. Over all though, they shortly look like hammer handles. I guess one can spray paint them after sanding....but my goodness. I hope the gun laws are good in Bulgaria and thanks for writing.
Hi, the gun laws are on the restrictive side. There are a lot of formality including a interview with a psychiatrist for mental health reasons:) The police comes to your home to make sure you have a proper gun safe. You have to have a clear criminal record. But if everything clears up they shall issue the licence and it’s valid for 5 years. And I’m not going into the details here :)
Old rifles looks so good in the eyes.. The wood stock just always hits right.. No matter how good polymer stocks can be..they are just not it..not even close
Hello Mike . Beautiful well designed rifles. I have been thinking about the newest Schultz and Larsen switch Barrel. It looks like a truly amazing designed rifle I'm not an engineer but the locking lugs locking into the barrel instead of the receiver has got to be super strong and super accurate. I read a guys post that has a 243 and 270 he says they both consistently shoot a .5 at a hundred. I also like the fact that you have so many different options in caliber and you can so quickly change the barrel . what really surprised me is you can actually exchanged barrels and bolts between long and short action in the same receiver. Tell me do you own any of these? I would love your opinion on these rifles and any potential problems that you can think? I would also like to set it up with an aperture sight instead of a scope. Thanks Mike By the way Happy Thanksgiving
Both beautiful rifles! USOG, If you get your hands on any of the Veore CRF rifle 2155/2165, I'd love to see your review on them. There seems to be very little information on YT and the web in general about them.
Thank you for your great video, recently I found an old M54J, and the 2 screws are missing, one inside the trigger guard and one on tail of the trigger guard. Would you please share with me the screw size on your collection? Thank you!
Hi Tairan - I wish I still owned one - sorry I can't help but I usually go by trial and error with missing screws on any gun and it usually doesn't take long to find the threading that runs.
RWS makes most of the European calibers, Norma makes 6.5 Japanese, 6.5 Carcano and others, Sellier & Bellot manufacture many of the less common rounds. All are available through most dealers.
Hello - I've seen these at the range on and off over the years; some had aperture sights, some had been scoped. Every one was a classic rifle and I didn't hear a bad word from anyone about them. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
Hi Janez, ColT had no boly rifle so they imported the Sauer into the United States and put their trademark etc... on the rifle. Some people over here refer to them as Colt-Sauers and others just Colts. Anyway - they are the same rifle; I like the Colt markings though and the Colt marked ones trade at a premium for collectors.
As a big ForgottenWeapons fan this channel is a great find! I hope you'll get lots of subs and views incoming now that your harpoon video got featured in multiple websites!
Did not know those rifles existed. I learn something new every video. Wonderful! 😃
Ive honestly learned so much about actions and the mechanism from these videos. Please continue to make these videos.
I'm glad Stephen.
I am impressed by your guns digest collection.
Thank you - it took a long time and some investment for sure.
Great film about the Danish rifles. You must try the new rifles from Schultz & Larsen they are super.

I completely agree with you. Have a great day and may the Lord richly bless you.
Well said, both of you.
I wish they sold these in America, such a handsome rifle.
Hi - I see them on Gunsamerica and Cabela's Gun Library once in awhile. Hope you find one.
Incredible the mount of different rilfes you have 👍👍
Hi Eric - I try to know them all - of course I'll never make it - but I'll get close : )
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns just think off the size off gun room you would need for all they rifles and shotguns 😂

You have an incredible collection

MrPh30, great links. Thank you!
Ive always wanted to design a boltaction with front & rear locking lugs. Give it a perfect bolt lock up
I love seeing these amazing commercial rifles
Proud to be a Dane
Quite right Brian. Fine country - fine rifles

I have my grandfather’s 1957 Shultz and Larson 7X61
Love it but very labor intensive to make bullets for it
I have a 7x61 S&H chambered model 70 pre 64. Looking to get some brass for it or maybe sell to someone who who loads this themselves.
Been wanting to shoot it but its almost impossible to find ammo

Thanks for the kind words Robert. Sorry about the trigger - good point - I'll focus more on keeping away from it.
Nice vid mate
I relly wish i had looked fter Sl more frantic years ago,but i have a 65 dl .358 Norma , with Pachmyr pad on . One i need to get once is one of them in .378
Good that you have the recoil pad! My .358 was impressive - and so was the recoil.
USOG The original pad waswood, so had to cut it off,and replace it . Then it was very good to use and softer.

It's true - flesh and bone - for all its faults - is real

By the way Happy Thanksgiving
I own one (classic) in 6,5-284 and a second barrel in 6xc. Love it. Very accurate. Super smooth action. Great trigger.
Both beautiful rifles! USOG, If you get your hands on any of the Veore CRF rifle 2155/2165, I'd love to see your review on them. There seems to be very little information on YT and the web in general about them.
You should do a comparison between the S&L 65/68 and the Mauser 77
Okay - I'll try
Its funny how as we get older it hurts more to shoot
Thank you for your great video, recently I found an old M54J, and the 2 screws are missing, one inside the trigger guard and one on tail of the trigger guard. Would you please share with me the screw size on your collection? Thank you!
Hi Tairan - I wish I still owned one - sorry I can't help but I usually go by trial and error with missing screws on any gun and it usually doesn't take long to find the threading that runs.
I appreciate good engineering in firearms. Do you have a Merkel KR1 you can do a review on?
Hi Anthony - I wish I did : (
Where do you get ammo for some of these obscure calibers?
RWS makes most of the European calibers, Norma makes 6.5 Japanese, 6.5 Carcano and others, Sellier & Bellot manufacture many of the less common rounds. All are available through most dealers.
Lapua,
Geco
Good evening from Canada. Sir, what information can you offer regarding their target rifles in 6.5x55?
Hello - I've seen these at the range on and off over the years; some had aperture sights, some had been scoped. Every one was a classic rifle and I didn't hear a bad word from anyone about them. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
Guess I've found the four-lug action.
the make barrels in 358 norma magnum
Awesome caliber!
Why are you calling Sauer 80/90 a Colt?
Hi Janez, ColT had no boly rifle so they imported the Sauer into the United States and put their trademark etc... on the rifle. Some people over here refer to them as Colt-Sauers and others just Colts. Anyway - they are the same rifle; I like the Colt markings though and the Colt marked ones trade at a premium for collectors.
USOG Thank you. You have a great chanel. Best regards from Slovenia.
