Many years from now some really confused archeologists are going to comb through that area wondering how bullets from all these different time periods, countries and continents got there.
Its a worm hole!
Would be interesting to hear their comments.
Another fine addition to the Mackenzie Cinematic Universe
Nice! I like it!
This man needs more subscribers!
Thank you... it would be nice to break 100K one day!
Wake up, make coffee, realize Rob dropped a video... it's gonna be a good day
Cheers!
Don’t want a bear sniffing your cap in mating season 😂
Haha!
Is the hat tactical? No. But is it tacticool? Hell yeah it is.
I think it's probably tacticwarm.
In its own, antique way....
Love this kind of good humour and excellent history.
Cheers!
Rob, I really like the video. I must say I like how you hold learning over performing. A+
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hell yeah rob always nice to see a new video
Cheers!
Again with the GREAT scizo-intro! Even filming only yourself, you have great comedic timing! I literally laughed at loud when buffalo hat came out the 2nd time!
Cheers!
YAAAAY! I was waaaiting for your video!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Hah this was great bud! Amazing that old 'beaut is still running with those monster bullets, impressive.
They are massive, for sure...
Another great history video loved it👍👍
Cheers!
Your dedication to historical accuracy is astounding! Even with the added difficulties your run was still excellent, well done!
Thank you! And thank you for helping Richard with the shoot!
Thats a 'significant emotional event' if you get hit by that (cheers to The Cheiftan)
I do!
Another great episode, as always. Great stuff BM.
Cheers!
That calibre is a bone breaker
It's pretty big, yes...
@@britishmuzzleloaders that’s why there was so many amputations after battle, just shatter bones
Sir. the backdrop in this vid is BEAUTIFUL! And, I am in Oregon. I love such landscapes. Been watching you with pleasure. great presentation
Thank you!
Beautiful rifle, and a great video, as usual!
Cheers!
Yay new Muzzle videos!! always love your skits and awesome information, as always thank you!
Cheers!
I really enjoy watching this guy. He can add humour, along with facts. Please keep up your great videos.
Thank you!
Somewhere, in those woods, very sad and naked black bear is wandering.
I was looking forward for challenge.
Haha!
... "it looks magnificent." .. Damn straight! Never really gone out of fashion.
Haha!
He was wearing his bearskin inside out last time.
Haha!
Greetings from the sunny south Okanagan, thanks for the video once more. It's interesting to see a P51 being fired, it's something I've never held and perhaps even seen in a museum, not entirely sure. All the best.
They are a very rare beast... and I'm very lucky to have one at my disposal, for sure!
Nice shooting! Outstanding presentation. It is certainly lots of fun to watch. I ran my Parker-Hale Pattern '61 for the Cabin Fever Challenge!
Nice to see another Enfield in the Challenge! Cheers!
Thank you for making these videos, they are much appreciated
You are most welcome!
Great video! Thank you!! Regards from the Left Coast of Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
I see that we are both burning the midnight oil trying to get these out before tomorrow lol
Haven't seen your score yet, but I'm willing to bet it's better than me and my 1766 Charleville
Edit
Yep you did 😂. Also I noticed that same problem with the pattern 1861 cartridge box that I used for the 1866 Springfield rifle
This year was a near run thing... weather and other things were conspiring against me since January!
Hi. From Pennsylvania. I always watch but i subscribed today. Your videos are fun to watch. I have a mrk r no 2 lee enfield 303 and i love it. It has a very good micrometer peep sight and is. Very accurate. God bless.😊
Thank you for the subby! Glad you enjoyed the clip!
Always enjoy all the work you put into making a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Excellent kit turnout and effort, very much in the spirit of your channel, I've been visiting Brett's channel due to your recommendation thanks for that. Inkerman series was really interesting too. Keep it up :D
Cheers!
Good morning from Syracuse NY United States of America my friends across the pond
he is in alberta not wales
Thank you for the correction it's been a long since the last video my friend
Yes, I am Canadian.
Nice work!!! Love the content!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks.
Don't mind me, I came here for the hat.
Haha!
I always love your opening skits, and this one definitely got a hearty chuckle out of me! Thank you kindly, and I'm sure the rest of the episode will be just as good!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy your Cabin Fever vids, just great stuff 👍
Glad you like them! Cheers!
Always a highlight of my year, cheers rob
Thank you!
Excellent sir as always
Thank you!
wonderful content, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, I really do love your video's and I am always inspired after watching to go to the range and shoot more black powder. Cheers
More black powder is a good thing!
Well done!
Cheers!
Another fine undertaking Rob. I would have loved to see the actual capabilities of the rifle without being handicapped with the fur hat, but I see your reasoning and another excellent video nonetheless
There will be a series on the rifle, eventually.
A very enjoyable and informative video.
Thank you!
Great Post thanks
Cheers!
Again, you take the CFC to another level altogether. Well done!
It's a fun way to compare things for sure!
It's beyond me why this channel doesn't have a million subscribers
That is very kind. Please pass the word!
@@britishmuzzleloaders I always do. Once I'm in the position, I will support this endeavor monetarily. I love the work you do, it is outstanding! I don't say that lightly - you are surely one of the best doing this, better than any BBC documentary could ever be.
Bravo SIR!
Your videos are a learning experience as well as entertaining.
IMA as far back as the late 90s advertised a bamboo type frame work for the fur hat like yours.
It may have been made later how far later because IMA didn't go into enough detail but they did say theirs was obtained as British surplus.
Thank you! The bearskin dies indeed have a wicker frame.
Excellent Rob!
Cheers!
looking through all your videos and seeing this crazy collection of firearms is something to behold.
Where do you source these guns from?
They come from many different sources.
A .702 caliber British Pritchet pattern bullet was metal detected and dug at a US Civil War site near me, and I metal detected and dug a stamped, flat brass, bayonet scabbard "hook" in Mobile, AL stamped "Crown V.R." and it was said to be from a P-1851 scabbard. There were a few thousand 1851 Enfields used by the Confederacy.
Indeed they were! They bought anything they could get their hands on!
Very good.
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic Rob
Thanks V! Very short flash-to-bang on this one.
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Top notch as always
Cheers!
Love your post's and your candor
Cheers!
@@britishmuzzleloaders 🩵
Brilliant video as always Bravo.
Thank you kindly!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am pleased to finally see the P51 in action up close! Glad to see the long awaited close look into your historic piece.
Also I always adore the 1 of the 2 sibling knuckleheads again, always a great laugh and wonderful way to bring passion into this exotic topic of blackpowder arms! XD
Long live the Ross and Mackenzie twins!
Cheers! There will be a dedicated series for it with more info and shooting, of course.
fantastic channel. peace - Dave.
Thank you!
Fantastic video
Cheers!
Great Content!
Cheers!
The forward and after cap is excellent. Where did it come from? Kind of looks like a Glengarry.
It's a Guards field cap.. explained in Part 1 of the Inkerman series.
@@britishmuzzleloaders thank you
That man! Get yore air cut!
😀
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
All your vids are really enjoyable.
I'd love to shoot some of the weapons you use.
I need to ask what is your all time favourite weapon you have reviewed?
Don't have one... They're all unique in their own way...
It's not a cabin fever challenge until you see a chimney brush shoot bullet bills at a paper target :D. Great shooting sir, love your content.
Hahaha!
Who needs a knap-sack? Just keep all your bits n' bobs under your bearskin :)
For sure!
I thought you must have run out of ammunition! Down to the bayonet again!
It was close!
When one can't see the camera for the bear in one's eyes. 0~o but your "mini" Winchester model of 1890 was still quite adorable. ^~^
That is the first rifle I ever owned. I was 10.
@@britishmuzzleloaders lovely, is it a .22 short, .22 Long rifle, or .22 WRF??? If ever the need arises to fully restore, then only Turnbull Restoration Company, Inc. should be considered.
oh basically a muzzle loading 12 rifled gauge!! i swear Rob that bearskin some of the choices the British army have made over time!!
Bearskin (or other fur) caps have been worn in many armies.... Not just a British thing.
@@britishmuzzleloadersthe British army is the only place i've that style and it's more than the bearskin i question with the force! over time i've seem quite few things that brought the what the F response upon finding!!
It's been awhile since i watched you out shooting the B.C clear cuts. By the way ... that hat
Yes, that hat...
Oh Mackenzie, never ever change. 😁
Yes Rob, your cap does in fact look magnificent.
Cheers!
🐻 thanks
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic video Rob, really entertaining. Just out of curiosity, do you know where I'd pick up mess tin straps and greatcoat straps for the slade wallace equipment now that military history workshop is shut down? Any help is greatly appreciated
If you are in the UK, Shedtime Leather (On FB) will whip you up some straps... Laurence doesn't like doing full sets as they are incredibly labour intensive, but the straps, I'm sure he'd do for you!
Mr Beat recommended this channel.
In what way?
Another entertaining and very informative vid. On a tangent I've never really grokked how the socket bayonets are attached. Does anyone know an easy to follow vid on that topic.
The Brown Bess bayonet had a stepped slot, so it simply came off the same way as it went on. East India types and others simply applied a flat leaf spring to impede disengagement but in British issue, the plain style was first modified by the Hanoverian catch, whereby a spring lever on the musket engaged with an indent on the neck of the socket as it was rotated. Seen here is the Lovells catch, originating with the P39 and P42 muskets, whereby a sprung blade engaged with a lug on the neck of the socket as it was rotated. On surviving examples quite a few of these catches are found broken and missing. This was the last of the Lovell's catch and bayonet design very soon overtook it with the P53 bayonet, which incorporated a rotating ring captive on the socket, with an opening which admitted the rifle-musket's foresight and then cammed up tight against it when rotated, providing the most effective lock up of all. Hopefully you have enough here for a fish around on the internet.
If you watch the various Manual Exercise/Rifle Exercises videos in the "Drill" playlist, you will see every arm and its bayonet attachment.
Great video. I kinda wish you finished the challenge with the bayonet, though
Done that in years past! 😀
@@britishmuzzleloaders yeah, that's the britishmuzzleloaders style
Mate when could British soldiers have full beards? Love your work
They can right now, actually… the King just approved beards for the British Army about 48 hours ago!
@@papercartridges6705 Cheers
Beards were a "campaign only" thing... The Queen allowed Crimean veterans to keep theirs but for all others, they were verboten. You could have "whiskers" but the chin was clean. Until literally this past week... They were granted for all ranks... In Canada, soldiers have had the ability to wear them since 2017 or so...
@@britishmuzzleloaders Not big in the Aussie army
Good Video
Cheers!
that's a BIG boolet
as well as an almost equally large hat...
They are pretty close in size, yes!
McKENZIE VIBES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍
In the beginning, when you looked at your wrist to check the time, wouldn't a nice pocket watch have been more " period " correct ?
or the fact that I wasn't wearing one...... 😀
Cool hat.
Cheers!
Sad to say, Brett's currently deployed. He's closed until he gets back this summer.
Sure, but this video will be around well after he's back and making bullets again.
勉強になりました
Cheers.
Love the mustache
Cheers!
I really want to try this challenge now, but I don't have any of the gear or a rifle yet... one day
Don't need "gear",... but a rifle is a bit of a sticking point....
@@britishmuzzleloaders I feel like the kit adds to the challenge. But I did see your video on how you built your Baker rifle. Definitely want to do that.
Saw a great deal of use in our ACW but I'll grant that is not Empire service.
"Great deal" is relative, I'd say... 😀 There weren't too many in the first place. They got bought up toute suite though...
Wicker.
I'm sorry about that.
I was going from memory and goofed.
Thanks for the correction.
No worries!
Curse you Rob.... now I'm surfing CGN and GP looking for some sort of BP rifle. Well, I guess I'd best watch for sales on Kraft Dinner as well and a blanket to use when the wife makes me sleep on the couch 😛
Haha! You'll loose all interest in those black plastic things! 😀
poor director thought he might have a stroke working with the "actor" lol / that looks like a very warm outfit / how bad did it kick(can't tell thru the smoke) / funny as always / that bearskin hat looked to be a real pain in the neck
It doesn't kick all that badly... No more than the P53 with the same charge.
I cant imagine the level of pain in the arse it must have been to wear those bearskins on active service.
They certainly have a bit of a learning curve!
Always great to see a proud Reb in gray with his Minnie rifle and Minnaybawls, repulsing them Yankees from the sacred… snow covered mountains… of the Southern Confederacy!
In tall bear headcovering ... :D
It was just like being at the battle of Kennesaw mountain in Georgia...
I hear the lament of the Appalachians as they, once more, get no respect. 🙂
@@genericpersonx333 honestly it was my firt thought, who else can be so hardcore as to wear a bearskin hats! :)
No-one can caricature, quite like you, Brett!
Finally all the years of bear hunting paid off.
Haha!
Very Dapper.... Very Dapper....
Thank you.
in what way was the minie rifle used by the British inferior to the enfield?
Ballistically so... larger calibre, the use of the cup in the base vs a plug was also not a perfect technology... Ammunition weighed a ton...
so that last shot proves accurase by caliber
Hey,... you take it as it comes!
@@britishmuzzleloaders especially when you cant have accurase by volume
980
?
my thumbs up was 980 lol@@britishmuzzleloaders
oorah!
Yeah!
My cervical spine hurts just seeing that damn hat, or glue applicator, or whatever that beaver on your head is.
Beaver? That is a Canadian black bear! Pretty much a whole one, by the looks of it.
Its not heavy... it's hollow...
I was waiting for it is not heavy it is my brother lol @britishmuzzleloaders
