As an addendum to a @C&Rsenal video, Bloke gets to show off serial number 8 of the 1893 trials of the Krag-Jorgensen rifle in 6.5x55 semi-rimmed (possibly, although the owner is skeptical). This is from the last trials series of 50 rifles, before the final adoption of the 1894.

Bloke takes a dive into how the out of battery safeties, which prevent the rifles from firing when unlocked, operate. Proper mechanical geekery!

Budi shoots his extremely rare 1893 trials Krag-Jorgensen at 300m! This is serial number 8 of 50, and is in the semi-rimmed version of the 6.5x55mm Swedish cartridge. But he's shooting normal rimless.

Mike and Fab dunk their rifles in the Finnish snow to see if they keep running. Mike was, of course, running a Lee-Enfield No.4 (Sterling conversion in .308 Win / 7.62 NATO instead of .303 British) whereas Fab was, again of course, shooting his pre-WW2 MAS-36 in 7.5x54 French.
