    This is only the Pedersoli test fire. The original Bridesburg is in Part 2 but I can't find that one posted.

    I'm told it's still way too heavy.

        Well - it shouldn't have a rammer spring....the tang of the barrel seems too straight - the wrist of the stock not properly shaped - the buttplate isnt the right shape - i.e. the tang is too flat, the fold at the top too sharp, the contour and angle wrong - too much 'belly" between the trigger guard and lower barrel band...it seems no better than a Euroarms.

          Except it'll most likely be double the cost of a Euroarms

            I've tried posting this a couple times; hopefully it works now. Test of 64 Bridesburg vs 55 Jaegerstuetzen Lorenz.

            Please support us at: https://www.patreon.com/capandballTesting the original service cartridges simulating a 100 m impact.


            The impact of the bullets on the ballistics gel gave me some pause; I sometimes fail to remember that the lovely 1842 Springfield on my wall could inflict some terrible damage.
