Sorry. I didn't know of his "iconic status". I've never seen the guy before. Once in a while I run into a video on Youtube (I don't go there often) where someone demonstrates something completely wrong (mechanical stuff usually).

I would think that if one goes through the trouble of producing the video, one would research the subject prior to filming. There is no problem if someone claiming to be "an expert" demonstrates a repair on a vintage Jaguar (example). But unsafe handling of a weapon, is a whole different story.

Again,....I'm sorry, but safety in handling the weapons was always a TOP priority during my schooling.

Dan I have posted many firearm subjects including his videos that always remain forever popular! There may be some who disagree with his opinions as no one could be 100% on so many firearm topics. Thats not his purpose!!! He is there to demonstrate in his style various firearms that many which we know nothing~ He reminds me of a grandpa I wish I have had~ A continued favorite to many! If you can walk away entertained and some more knowledge on a certain firearm, he has served his purpose~~~Eric Here is his discussion on firearm safety!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQrlDUIZ3f0

This is his first with over 100,000 followers ~~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rH-Oxhe19g 45cal

OK. Eric's rifle is an easy one. Just saw a hard one listed by a vendor. Guess what is this?

Is it one of these? http://www.militaryfactory.com/small...chine-guns.asp

Hard to guess. Here is the answer:

Astonished?

I have a few more but lugers are my favorite. The others are just so heavy! Eric

That's a Ruger 1022 that someone has seriously buggered up.

I came across this instructive video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_-wOxi-hls

I want to thank all of you in giving an old rifle new life and a face! I'm proud of you all and those special friends who bring it all together. You share a platform to join and share your own knowledge, personal input and most of all the excitement of the chase!!! I am proud to play even a small role in this our adventure and resurrection. However, I do love my Lugers . Holding them makes me proud to be a real part of history both past and future~ Someday I will have the honor of passing them down to another younger luger fan who will also fall in love with them, I hope! TKS, Eric

Eric,

Several years ago in my collection I had also a beautiful SCHMIDT RUBIN K31, brand new, that I never shot, and I stupidly sold it for a Norvegian Mauser K98K!
In my life I made so many mistakes, and this was one of them.

Sergio you are not alone! I married my second wife Benda. Ten years of hell!
