This video explores a rare 'Watkin-Patent' variant of the Martini-Henry rifle, a historically significant British firearm. Firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson details the development of this thumb-trigger configuration, which was an attempt to improve the breechloader for target shooters and hunters. Despite 40 units being produced, the design ultimately did not progress. The video links to the Royal Armouries collection, a book on the Martini-Henry, and other relevant resources.
