Today we are back with Val Forgett and another story about the history of Navy Arms. When his father was making reproduction sidelock percussion guns, he wanted to prove that they were still viable hunting arms. So he took a pair of .58 caliber rifles (one single and one side-by-side) to Africa for a series of safaris to hunt the “Big 5”. And, having loaded the guns to the same muzzle energy as a .416 Rigby, he did just that.

At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
