  “The company disappeared, but the design kept going” is such a powerful line. Paul Mauser’s real legacy wasn’t a factory—it was an idea that generations of engineers still trust. Which invention do you think has had a longer-lasting impact than people realize?

  In the late 1870s, the Paul and Wilhelm Mauser brothers&apos; factory in Oberndorf faced extreme financial peril as military orders dried up . Salvation arrived in 1881 &nbsp;when the newly independent Kingdom of Serbia &nbsp;signed a contract for 100,000 rifles .The Design: The rifle was a heavily modified version of the Mauser Model 1871, redesigned by Serbian Major Kosta &quot;Koka&quot; Milovanovic .The Innovations: Major Milovanovic introduced progressive rifling, an efficient 10.15mm cartridge, and a steel rail on the receiver to improve strength and accuracy .Impact: The enormous influx of funds allowed Paul Mauser to return to his factory a hero and saved his firm from bankruptcy. <br><br><br>P.S. Just something to add to your great video 🫣

  I got the chance to look at some Holland &amp; Holland rifles last year when I was in London. EVERY Bolt Action rifle I held that day was a Mauser K98 Action. A company that makes guns that are considered some of the highest quality in the world use this hundred year old action.

  I have two Mausers, a sporterized K98k in 7x57 and a Turkish K.Kale. The K98k was made in Styer in 1943 and the Turk was made in 1944. Both are some of the smoothest bolt actions I have ever handled.

  In 1914 the British designed a rifle for manufacture in the US . It was the P1914 which became the M 1917. It was a modified mauser and was in use by the Greenland Ice patrol until recently

  The whole thing, mentioned multiple times, that the hunters don&apos;t know who helped design the weapons they use is 100% false. Every good hunter knows everything about his tools. I guarantee if you asked just about any hunter using a Remington or Springfield about it he&apos;ll know it harkens back to the Mauser. Other than that, great lil documentary.
