Swedish m/1851 Navy Kammerlader

The Chap explains the mechanics behind this curious rifle and gives a potted history of the concept more extensively used by the Norwegians. All this followed by a trip to the range to see how it performs.
Update: Since filming this it appears that the lastest dated rifle was 1864 despite transition to a new percussion rifle in 1855. It is still unknown if the rifles were issued beyond extended trials. My rifle is dated 1854.
