1871 Argentine Remington Rolling Block Carbine .43 Spanish

The Remington Rolling Block is highlighted as a superior, yet overlooked, single-shot black powder military rifle from the late 19th century. Despite its mechanical excellence and global adoption by nations like Argentina and Denmark, the US Army favored the Trapdoor Springfield. The review covers its simple operation, robust design, and the common .43 Spanish caliber, concluding with a speed test comparing it to contemporary bolt-action rifles.

This review details the rare Papal States Remington Rolling Block rifle, specifically the Mousqueton de Gendarmerie variant. It highlights the firearm's historical context within the Papal military, its procurement through the Nagant brothers, and the unique 'crossed keys' markings. The video also explains the rolling block action, caliber, and its eventual journey to Ethiopia.

This review of an original Remington Rolling Block No. 1 Sporter in .45-70 highlights its historical significance and simple, reliable design. The video demonstrates shooting with black powder loads, showcasing the significant smoke and the rifle's accuracy. It also touches on the global production of the Rolling Block design and its legacy in both military and civilian use.

This video offers a detailed book review of "Spanish Rolling Block: The Basque Made Rifles of the Third Carlist War." The book, an English translation, delves into the specific history and production of small arms made in the Basque region of Spain during the 1870s, particularly for locally organized volunteers who couldn't acquire arms from the military. It covers variations in Remington Rolling Block designs, pinfire guns, and Snider conversions, highlighting original documents and photographic evidence of subtle model differences from manufacturers like La Escalduna and La Azpeitiana, alongside military contracts from the Oviedo Arsenal.

This video provides a detailed real-life comparison of firearms featured in Red Dead Redemption 2, showcasing historical models like the Colt Single Action Army and Mauser C96. It demonstrates the unique actions and loading mechanisms of various revolvers, rifles, and shotguns, including the Spencer Carbine's buttstock loading and the Henry Rifle's tubular magazine. The review highlights the operational differences between single-shot, lever-action, bolt-action, pump-action, and semi-automatic firearms.

This documentary explores the history and function of the French Remington Rolling Block rifle, specifically the Fusil Modèle 1915. Despite its older design, it served in WWI due to shortages, primarily with rear-echelon troops. The video details the Rolling Block action's evolution, key figures, and its mechanical aspects, including a live-fire demonstration highlighting its strengths and weaknesses with the 8mm Lebel cartridge.

This video hilariously tests a heavily accessorized AR-15, dubbed the 'Zombie Carbine,' as a parody of excessive tactical gear. The build, based on a Smith & Wesson M&P15, weighs 23 pounds fully loaded with 270 rounds across nine magazines. It features multiple optics, lasers, lights, and is demonstrated with rapid fire, hip sniping, and Tannerite explosions.

This "ultimate AR-15 meltdown" test pushes a custom build to its limits, revealing key durability insights. The Faxon barrel ultimately burst after 830 rounds, but critical components like the Sharps SRC bolt carrier group and Geissele rail demonstrated impressive resilience under extreme stress and heat. The test highlights the AR-15 platform's robust design, even when subjected to conditions far exceeding typical operational use.

This video showcases an extreme full-auto durability test of a premium Definitive Arms VEPR AK, comparing it to a budget WASR-10. The VEPR AK demonstrated exceptional resilience, enduring 895 rounds before failure, significantly outperforming the WASR-10 and even a previously tested AR-15. The expert analysis highlights the AK platform's inherent durability and heat management characteristics, even under severe stress.

This video demonstrates the legendary durability of the AK platform by subjecting a Yugo M92 PAP to a 700-round continuous firing test. Despite extreme heat causing significant smoke and glowing metal, the firearm remained functional, showcasing Mikhail Kalashnikov's robust engineering. The test concludes with a cooling process and a tribute to the designer's legacy.
