This video provides an expert-level overview of the rare Springfield Arms Double Trigger Navy Revolver, a .36 caliber percussion pistol produced briefly in the early 1850s. Ian McCollum details its unique double-trigger system designed to circumvent Colt's patents, its safety features like the rest notch, and a straightforward field-stripping procedure. The rarity is emphasized, with only about 250 produced in total.
The Warner Carbine, a Civil War breech-loader, featured a pivoting breechblock mechanism. Early Warner-Greene models in .50 Warner rimfire were followed by a second pattern in .56 Spencer, some of which were later sold as surplus to France and potentially converted to centerfire. Despite its innovative design, troops disliked it due to ammunition issues and extraction failures.
