Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy huuuufffffffffffff que bien 👌👍

I understood the spring in the entry pipe to be a modification done to wooden ramrod guns and parts, when adapting them to them narrower diameter iron rammers, usually along with a thin sheet metal insert in the front thimble. Could you comment on that? Other than that, great video, where do I order 100 :D

This is great info for a new builder like myself. Mr. Person's Brown Bess lecture was also a delight, lots of inspiration for a "one day" Land Pattern. Are there any plans to upload Mr. Person's lecture on English Fowlers from this summer 2024? I couldn't be at the fair on the day that he delivered it and I would be immensely grateful for the chance to hear what he had to say. Thank you!

This needs to be on a CD or thumb drive.

The Ferric Nitrate crystals, in testing by another Guild member, is identical to shop made ferric nitrate on the same pieces of maple. I have used steel and iron in making stain and never seen a difference. I gotta try some more old wagon tire to make some now….. But remember that really old wrought iron may be little different than mild steel of today. Modern wrought iron is <10 “points” of carbon. So 1008 is Iron and 1010 is mild steel.

A must see video for all lovers of brown Bess muskets and a wealth of information.

This guy doesn't really know what he's doing. Sure it's not a big deal and it still works, but what's the point of heating the brass to the Draper Point to "anneal" it if you're just going to quench it in water instead of let it slowly cool in air? (That's a rhetorical question, just so we're clear...)

I would love to become a gunsmith and produce beautiful 18th century Style firearms.

Very interesting, thank you for posting. It sounded as though some folk were talking through your presentation, bad form. Chris UK

Very cool! Thank you so much for your time here!

Thank you, personally I learned several things.

Well done ,thanks

35:04 as somebody who tried to build their first lock as a wheellock pistol lock You are absolutely right on this one. It is an utter nightmare lol

2:14 and I took that personal 😂😂😂

Outstanding history Dave!

Laughing jack needs to go home

I do not see the pattern either. Not sure what I am missing.

I have a 1770 dated Brown Bess made by Richard Wilson, London. This musket is engraved on the barrel "ANTIGUA". The barrel length is 39". It. has a brass plate engraved on the wrist A/3 or A/5. Hard to tell as the top of the number is worn off. This musket was found in an old Masonic building in Vermont and was likely there from the 1850's. Unfortunately, the musket was converted to percussion probably in the 1830's.

I don't see the pattern. Perhaps not enough coffee yet for me today?

Thank you for sharing this first rate presentation and thank you to Mr. Brownewell for sharing his knowledge and time.

Thanks Mitch

Great seminar! You mentioned that you neutralize the stock with a wipe down of ammonia with the brass furniture in place. What does the ammonia do to the brass fixtures?

Very interesting video. I have a Brown Bess my father bought in 1948. It has hung on the wall ever since. It was found in Georgia. It’s condition is very good. I would like to learn more about it. It has a ring neck cock. You photos all had Sean neck cocks. When would you think the first ring neck Cocks show up? It is marked with a crown and GR.

Very Interesting . . . .

That was awesome. It's great to hear from the masters and to learn from them

Outstanding! Thanks to Mr. Yates for sharing his time and knowledge and thanks to the people who made and shared this video.

Outstanding! Thank you

Excellent lecture. Too bad the sound quality isn’t better.

Every period manual I have read refers to putting the empty whole cartridge complete with ball down the barrel paper down. Giving two sharp taps to form the paper into a wad on the powder behind the ball and to hold the ball in place. The period makers finish for the wood (linseed oil-resin varnish) would accord with the Sea Service black paint finish, being the same with a black pigment added. As to which pigment I find no mention anywhere. Bone black would be good and assist with drying but I suspect cost would make the makers look to common lamp black.

Surely with modern technology we can 3D print copy any part of a valuable antique rifle and measure from that, no harm would be done to the original that way. Chris B.

What type of steel is used for brown bess barrel,any idea?

Ethan thank you so much for volunteering yourself to film some of the seminars from the Kempton show for those of us could not attend. These videos are a wealth of information and I hope they reach so many people. Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks for great information.

I was at Kempton and I missed Dave's presentation because I didn't check the program . I have been kicking my butt for a month . Thank you very much for posting on line . I have an original City Of New York Bess made by Richard Wilson that I would like to restore . This will be very helpful . Great work !!

I’m really enjoying these different class seminars. Hope to be there next year.

This is absolutely invaluable. Thank you for posting for those of us that can’t make it to the fair. And thank you to Mitch for your time and knowledge!

Ethan, Thanks for preserving and editing this great presentation! It's a great service to our entire black powder community.
