6m 25s
In 1891, John Browning designed a new rifle that fed not from a tube magazine but from a box magazine. Box magazines were a relatively new concept with James Paris Lee leading the field. This one-of-a-kind Browning prototype uses the same locking mechanism as the Winchester 1886 and is in 'musket' configuration. In this video Matt takes a look at the rifle and explains how it's unusual magazine design works.

Cut-Down SMLE - WW1 Tunneler's Gun
The myths surrounding the use of cut down Lee-Enfield during WW1 are fascinating. I recently had the chance to take a look at an example of a cut down SMLE, which differed slightly in that it still had its stock - which I think makes it a more practical weapon than a truly cut down rifle. In this...
