New video of shooting my Werder M1869 Infanterie Gewehr.
This rifle was converted to fire 11x60R Mauser ammunition in 1876 (originally 11x50R ammunition)
good luck guys.

That was a great video, but a little discription of the rifle would be cool. I had never even heard of that rifle before.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C. S. Lewis
