The Rarest Gun in The World

This guide details the disassembly and analysis of the P. Percy Prototype Rifle, a unique break-action firearm featuring a complex three-trigger set system. Expert Ian McCollum demonstrates how to access the internal mechanism, highlighting its crude construction and historical significance as a patent model. The process involves understanding the distinct functions of each trigger: one for opening the action, one for cocking, and one for firing.

This video details the meticulous process of hand-chambering a rifle barrel, specifically a 300 Blackout for a Thompson/Center Encore. It emphasizes the critical importance of concentricity, headspace set to the minimum specification for optimal accuracy, and the precise use of a lathe and reamer. The demonstration highlights the tedious 'cut and check' method required for achieving tight tolerances, culminating in a test fire that validates the hand-chambered barrel's performance.

This guide details the step-by-step disassembly and reassembly process for the T/CR22 magazine. It emphasizes the use of specific Allen wrenches and careful handling of internal components like the rotor, spring, and tensioner cap. Proper cleaning and drying are highlighted before reassembly to ensure optimal function and longevity of the magazine.

This guide details the disassembly and maintenance of the White Prototype LMG, based on insights from Ian McCollum. It highlights the use of the gas port cap as a multi-tool for disassembly and emphasizes the importance of safety checks. The video provides a high-level overview of the internal mechanisms, including the open-bolt action and gas system, suitable for intermediate enthusiasts interested in historical firearm mechanics.

This video provides an in-depth look at the rare Czech URZ (Universal Hand Weapon) prototype. It details the firearm's unique roller-delayed blowback action, contrasting it with other systems like Heckler & Koch and the MG34. The unique hybrid drum and belt box feed system is also explained, highlighting its mechanical complexity. With only nine units produced, the URZ represents a significant piece of firearms development history.

This guide details the field stripping and reassembly process for the Thompson/Center T/CR22 rifle. It emphasizes safety precautions, proper tool usage (a 5/32 Allen wrench), and careful handling of small parts like trigger group pins. The instructions cover removing the barreled action from the stock, disassembling the bolt and recoil spring assembly, and then reassembling all components correctly, including a functional check with an empty magazine.

This video demonstrates the severe dangers of using smokeless powder in a muzzleloader designed for black powder, resulting in a catastrophic barrel explosion. The speaker, identified as a manufacturer representative, uses a remote firing rig to safely showcase the consequences of this common but deadly mistake. The footage highlights the importance of understanding powder types and pressure differences to prevent dangerous malfunctions.

This video presents an accuracy comparison between a traditional flintlock rifle and a modern sporting rifle at 100 yards. The host, demonstrating high expertise and safe firearm handling, loads and fires both rifles, utilizing Hornady Match .308 ammunition and Goex Black Powder. The comparison highlights the practical differences in loading times and aims to determine which platform achieves superior accuracy under these conditions.

This expert guide details the catastrophic failure modes of muzzleloaders, as demonstrated by Thompson/Center Arms' engineering team. It covers the dangers of double loading, double powder charges, and critically, the use of smokeless powder, which led to a barrel explosion. The video emphasizes safety and understanding pressure limits in muzzleloading firearms.

This guide, presented by an expert from Thompson/Center Arms, focuses on three critical shooting mistakes and their solutions. It covers achieving a Natural Point of Aim (NPOA) for stability, mastering trigger control to overcome target panic, and the benefits of shooting with both eyes open for improved awareness. The instruction emphasizes fundamental techniques for becoming a better marksman.
