    I believe they added the later retention spring on the front grip to help stop the mags getting lost or falling out unintentionally

    Another great video Tom, looking forward to part 3. I once compared a K98 my dad had with one a neighbor had and the differences were significant

    They wouldn't have reworked a 1940 Nagant during the war. Most likely the scribe broke on the marking machine and the kid making minimum wage didn't care enough to check before sticking the next one in. Other possibility it was brought in by a tourist before 1980 something when you could just fill out a form.

    The magazines follower acts as the bolt hold open on those Japanese pistols, it’s simpler than having a hold/release lever like on a 1911A1. With the bolt locked back, look down into the open area where the empty shell is ejected and push down the follower on the mag with your finger while holding the bolt back with your other hand and keeping it from slamming on your finger while doing so.

    My late war b series German hi-power has a very thin blueing and rough finish with lots of heavy file marks. Blue is plumb on the frame and an almost iridescent looking blueing on the slide.

      Do you shoot yours? I put about 4 boxes of modern 9mm fmj through my 49K serial b series before someone told me the extractor will probably break and the front sight could fall off.

      @@jonathanbennett4284 I occasionally shoot it , no more than 100 rds of standard FMJ. I’ve never had a problem with breakage. Sometimes I wonder if those stories are a bit overblown.

    I'm hoping you do the 1922. I have two and they are relatively different.

    My brother brought back a Chi Com Tokarev from Vietnam. It was missing that "clip" that holds the pins, but he got it fixed... loudest pistol I've ever fired.

    I have a HP with Nazi and Waffen proofs. The slide and receiver numbers match, the barrel does not. The pistol has also been engraved, not very well by the way. Is it possible it was engraved during the war? It makes me wonder how many pistols were made during the war. I also have a Colt Commando, only made for 3 years during the war, and a Inglis HP painted in black stove paint. Both appear to be either new or near new.

    I would be really interested in how you service your guns. do you use an oil for surface protection on the outer parts?

  • @dmg4415

    Are there differences in the "working" surfaces inside the guns?

    I heard the Americans called the type 94 the surrender gun as you could pretend to surrender and manage to shoot the soldier you were surrendering to.

  • @ardennielsen3761
    @ardennielsen3761 Před rokem

    20:30 the hammer strike sounds very weak on those, doubt then would work with American made primers... tho Mexicans making primers out of soda cans, 700% failure to fire rate 30% functionality at best.

    • @joshuagibson2520
      @joshuagibson2520 Před rokem

      Probably was one with a broken firing pin so it was missing some of its mass resulting in the weaker sounding strike.

  • @stoneblue1795

    Seems like many of these today must have come from the same collector.
    Take his white grease stick away from him, that gets old, guns didn't come that way.
