    I LOVED my M-14 in the Army. Went in when I was 19, never had any firearm experience before. Just followed instructions, and one day decided to see if I could cover my shot group with a quarter. But I didn't have a quarter in my pocket, only a nickel. And covered the group completely. Was totally shocked when during our final testing, I could hit my target at 500 meters, with just that "peep sight."

    Meanwhile, 7 years later... it would be interesting to see you guys compare/contrast the Ljungman and the SVT40. I miss these old school 5 gun and shooting videos.

    When I was a recruit in the Swedish National Homeguard, at age 15, I had a Mauser m/96, 6.5 mm, with ammunition, in my closet. At age 17 I was transferred to the regular troops at the Swedish National Homeguard and had a Swedish made, KG m/21 - 37, with ammunition, in my closet. The Swedish BAR:s are quite similar to the U.S. BAR M1918, calibre .30 Automatic Rifle (BAR), except that it has a separate pistol grip and are all made in the Swedish m/94 6.5 mm calibre. The Swedish modification was developed by the Swedish government arsenal, Carl Gustaf Stads Gun Factory in Eskilstuna, Sweden.
    When I did my mandatory military service, in the Swedish Marines, we had the Ag m/42B. The AG m/42 was designed by Erik Eklund of the AB C.J. Ljungmans Verkstäder company of Malmö around 1941, and entered production at the Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori in Eskilstuna in 1942.
    We also had kpist m/45B, 9 x 19 mm SMG (Submachine Gun), and produced by the Carl Gustaf Stads Gun Factory in Eskilstuna, Sweden.
    Other ordnance weapons were the Light Machine Gun m/58 - Technical data: GP MG - Kulspruta 58, KSP 58. Calibre, 6,5x55 or 7,62x51. Ammunition, 6,5 mm m/94 or 7,62 mm ptr 10. V0, 830-850 m/s and Granatgevär, Grg m/48, Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle, or the Gustaf Bazooka or M2CG, is an 84 mm man-portable reusable anti-tank recoilless rifle produced by Saab Bofors Dynamics (formerly Bofors Anti-Armour AB) in Sweden.
    Now I am retired and living on memories!
  • Yes, we still use the old Mosin actions in our TKIV 85 sniper rifles. Also, about Simo Häyhä: he racked 505 kills with his rifle and about 200 to 250 with his Suomi SMG. There is no accurate number to how many he killed with the SMG but it is generally accepted that he had 505 kills with the rifle. Greetings from Finland.

  • @kainhall
    i like how people buy a 600 dollar rack grade M1 from the CMP....

    then set up a table at a gun show and sell it for 2400.....
  • while i do absolutely love your 5 guns videos, there are just an endless amount of top 5 gun topics. What i love so much about your channel is the vast variety of videos and topics. Amazing selections, and fountain of knowledge in every video. Why iv8888 and mac are by far my 2 most favorite channels.
  • Loved this video guys, this is a super hard call, and I think you all did a great, well researched job.
  • Thanks for this, my opa carried a k98 and when he moved to Canada he was an excellent hunter. I'm getting what he learned on. More importantly, Much appreciated for the work you do to educate so we don't waste our money on hype but instead invest in quality. Cheers.

    Here's a fact about the SMLE. Because the action locks in the rear, the bolt compresses, and tends to shorten over time. This increases the headspace, and after a while, you'll experience case separations. But the Britts had a solution. The bolt head screws onto the body. So they produced a series of bolt heads, of gradually increasing lengths. When you started to get excessive headspace, you just installed the next longer head. When you reached the maximum length, the rifle was returned to the armory, where the barrel was screwed into the receiver another turn. Unfortunately, most of the SMLEs I've encountered have had excessive headspace, and had the longest bolt head.
