Thanks. I'd of course seen people firing these muzzle loaders in movies but - never actually seen the whole loading and firing procedure. I'd never actually seen a complete paper cartridge though I had seen the caps. I had some friends in the 20th Maine. They weren't in the movie but knew some of the people who were. I got to see one of their rifles once. That bit about the differences in whether or not the paper was put down the bore was good. I didn't realize there was a difference. .
In the mail to me are a Euroarms 1853 Enfield and an original 1864 Springfield type I, contract from Norwich. Two days ago I saw a vid on UA-cam demonstrating exactly how to make your own paper cartridges. I saved that one for future reference. Yesterday I found a vid here that mentioned that the paper was put down the barrel of an Enfield. Now, that goodness, I have learned here that the paper does not go down a Springfield. Up to now I have only shot flintlocks and percussion ball long rifles. Thank you, PAGUNGUY.
Interesting. I used to shoot with the NSSA North South Skirmish Association. Shooting those guns are an experience. Good video. I had a colleague who was shot in the ass with a minnie ball. Also I remember using no more than two fingers shoving down the ramrod in case there was a cookoff in the barrel.
It's fascinating watching you bring the piece down to the ground to reload, the way you have to grab it and pull it back such a long distance from the shoulder just goes to show the weight and length of these weapons, which I feel a lot of people don't appreciate. It almost looks as if you're trying to climb a ladder or pull a big rope just to bring the muzzle back around. Just interesting, ig
@@robhutchins2721I got this a quite a few years ago now I usually buy my muskets off Dixie gun works. Check them out there in TN but they have an online store. I think ever since Covid the the reproductions have been hard to get. Depending on the price you can get an original around 1500 so u may just want to go that route. I have an original 1842 as well just haven’t made a video on it yet. But you can live fire an original as well. I actually only paid 400 for my original it’s been cleaned and the barrel has been re sleeved and it has a new stock but still cool.
@@THEPAGUNGUY I have a Euroarm 1841 Mississippi that should be shipping to me any day. So, I have three total in the mail, 2 by USPS and one by FedEx. They were very hard to locate. I cannot see keeping my excess savings in a bank with the election coming up and inflation eating away.
Loved the vid man. Thanks for presenting this beauty
Thanks for the comment!
Great way to celebrate Memorial Day, love to see those old guns. Thanks.

Very cool and interesting to see. Makes you appreciate how far we've come. I need a black power gun.

Enjoyed this. Thank you!
I'm glad thanks for the comment!
Very cool man
People were crazy to do this as others shot at them.
They were put into the field to shoot back and not run away.
@@jeannieheard1465 Yeah, that's wild to me. I couldn't imagine the levels of brave that people were.
HHOYA BROTHER
