To which I have the H&R LEATHERNECK 22 training rifle Model 165. You charge both guns with a concealed charging handle under the front forearm.

Didn't watch the video, and skipped through the responses in this thread.
It's on my bucket list of places to visit and didn't want any spoilers.
Thanks for posting!

The video didn't do so much for showing what was there as it was speaking of the history of the 45th.

Now, if you don't want spoilers, stay away from my Smugmug site.

That charging handle looks like it only offers a fingertip purchase. Wonder how heavy the recoil spring was, and how smooth the action was? The .45 ACP issued model, I mean.
