This video provides a book review of "Mannlicher Military Rifles" by Paul Scarlata. The reviewer highlights that while Mannlicher carbines like the M95 and M95/34 are often available cheaply in the US, they are underappreciated, partly due to the scarcity of the 8x56R cartridge. The book is praised for its in-depth look at the Mannlicher action, noted as the most prolific straight-pull action ever produced. The reviewer expresses satisfaction with both their personal Mannlicher carbine and the accompanying book.

This video is a book review of Paul Scarlata's work on the German Gewehr 88 "Commission" Rifle. The reviewer, who admits to not being an expert on older German bolt actions, found the book to be highly informative, helping them identify various stamps and understand the rifle's development and manufacturing history. The review encourages viewers interested in the Gewehr 88 to purchase the book for their own education, providing an Amazon link. The specific rifle discussed has a 1890 dated Loewe receiver and a Turkish rear sight.
