Great video, lots of information, relaxation and fun. Mr. Venturino is one of my favorite gun writers. I'd have to say he has more knowledge on historical weapons than anybody. This video shows that "gun people " are good people.

He is very knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him to put this together. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying this series. I consider him a dear friend and more humble than most give him credit for. This entire series is completely unscripted, all this information is just off the top of his head. --Jeremiah

This series just is pure treasure indeed. Thanks to Mike for all these great videos:)

My favorite WW1 & WW2 rifles are the Swedish 96 and the Swiss K31. Have never owned or shot the Japanese rifles but Mike's skill with the 6.5 (and the devastating results on watermelons) = very impressive. My limited collection includes the British No.4 Mk2, a Remington 1903 Springfield and a couple of Soviet Moisin Nagants. I am always impressed by the quality of these purpose built military rifles. My Army issued M16 was adequate, but no where near the quality of the Swiss & Swede rifles. Another terrific video. Thanks.

Sadly we did not get any time behind either of those but I have heard a lot of good things about both! I was super impressed with Mike's skills he shot that rifle on the watermelons simply because I could not figure out the hold over with that rifle. He got behind it and knew his rifle and was able to make good consistent hits using the confusing reticle. I agree in full with you I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality put into some of these military rifles even at 100 years old they still shoot well and in most cases were more accurate than I was. Thank you for watching and your continued support of this series! --Jeremiah

Having only followed Mike Venturino, first in his early articles in Shooting Times, and then more recently in Handloader and Guns magazines, it was a real treat after all of these years (decades) to actually see the man in these series of videos. What a gracious gentleman he is with young Jeremiah... a perfect match up, you can see the mutual respect they really have for each other.

I really appreciate you sharing that with us, it is always great to hear things like that. I do not have enough nice things to say about Mike, It was truly a humbling experience to get to shoot his collection and learn from him. He was very generous with both him time, collection and ammunition. He truly is a kind and humble man who I am so grateful to call a friend. Thank you for watching and for your continued support of this series! --Jeremiah

Thanks Mr. Mike, Always enjoy your history lessons !!

My grandfather, whom I never met, brought back a type 38 carbine from the Pacific. He had no interest in guns after the war, but my father found it and asked him if he could have it. My grandfather relented and my father had it drilled and tapped for a Weaver base and cut back the stock, as was the fashion of the time. I cringe a bit to consider it, but it is one of the lightest and handiest rifles I have ever felt. One day, while reloading for it, I noticed the ballistics approximated one of my favorite newer cartridges, 6.5 Grendel. The chamber size is quite generous. Brass stretching tends to lead to case head separation if one is not careful after multiple loadings. Thanks for the video and the years of articles Mr. Venturino.

Gawd - it was good to see Mike again. He is my favorite antique! I remember sneaking the gun rags into class and reading his stuff instead of my lessons. All due respect to the young fella - but you are still the king, Mike! You both keep your noses clean! ;)

Great shooting! I shoot my type 97 Ari-sack at the range often. I resize 35 rem to 6.5x50 due to the oversized chamber

Thank you very much, I can not speak much to that but I can say out of all of the scopes we looked through this one was by far the cloudiest and had the least forgiving eyebox. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah
