The Austro-Hungarian Werndl 1867/77 is a 10-pound, 50.4-inch bolt-action rifle firing an 11mm black powder round. Its unique rotating 'tabernacle' breech block requires manual extraction as it lacks an ejector. Despite a heavy single-stage trigger and substantial recoil from the 1877 cartridge, the rifle offers a satisfying mechanical experience.
This video details Salvatore Carcano's innovative needlefire conversion of Italian muzzle-loading rifles, developed in response to Prussian military successes. The conversion aimed for cost-effectiveness, under 10 Lira per rifle, by adapting existing 1844 artillery muskets.
