Hello John, from across the pond. And Thanks again for your benevolent support of my endeavors. Hope your shooting is going well. I knew you'd like these rolling blocks! ...Doc
My RRB is an Argentino Infantry Rifle, M1879, .43 Spanish (.439). I load it with 4198 smokeless that is very safe to shoot if used to correct specs. I made a removable front sight that zeros @50-100 yds. The sight is not pretty, but functional. Many military rifle sights of the period and later were zeroed @300 yards or meters. With the expert help of a cyber buddy in Argentina, I found an original German made Yataghan Bayonet that fits perfectly. The bayonet was not listed with any information that claimed which rifle it fit. I sent photos of it to my Argentine friend and he assured me it would fit my rifle. I made a reproduction box with blue label to store 25 original BP Remington cartridges in.
Hi Robert, and thank you for your response. Your M1879 sounds like the total package. I know it took considerable time and research to accomplish that, but so worthwhile in my book. I still have one of those on my bucket list. I want to try smokeless the next time I shoot them, and I concur, 4198 is a great powder for this type of weapon. I also love a Yataghan on anything ! Regards...Doc PS. ..I like the sound of you add on sight, I was thinking along those lines. One small screw holds the rear L shaped blade into the base. Perhaps I could fashion a very low replacement ?
@@dr.durellshepard398 I also use 4198 for 45-70. For .577 Snider and 50-70 RRB I only use BP. I have 2 Spanish Artillery sabres that look like they were made from Yataghan bayonet blanks. They are very heavy and must have been used more for clearing brush for artillery emplacements than as swords. I bought them at Sunny's Surplus Store, Baltimore, Maryland 60 years ago @2 for $5.00. Wish I could go back in a time machine and buy up all that cheap surplus. Mausers @ $25; Mosins @ $12.50.
@@robertrobert7924 Yes, I remember those deals, but I was young with no money to my name. But I will say, when I was 14 I did purchase a 1903 .30-06 Springfield from Sears Roebuck for thirty nine dollars and it was shipped to my house, no papers, to a kid ! It did consume all of my butter, egg, and muskrat money for that year........Doc
Yeppers! The old IMR-4198 published conversion formula is a Godsend for these early BP breechloaders. 40% of original BP load for safe pressures and velocities. In this one that is about 30-31 gr and they do perform well with it.
Hi Doc great video. I have both of these guns in my collection. But my rifle was made by Remington the carbine was Spanish made. The rifle is 43 Spanish and the carbine is reformado. I have dies for the 43 Spanish and it shoots great. The reformado I use 43 Spanish cases and load them with 45 ACP dies. The bullets I use are .451 in the reformado. Just have to be careful in forming the brass the first time or you will crimp the brass since the bottom of the hull is not supported. I also have a 1871 Springfield made rolling block in 50/70 and a 1866 U.S. Navy carbine that was sold to the state of South Carolina in 1880. They were sent to the Sharps rifle company and rebarreled to 45/70 Government. Only 200 hundred were made. Looking forward to your next video.
Good morning Phillip, Good to hear from another rolling block fan. You have a great collection and your South Carolina carbine is a desirable specimen. 43 Reformado is always a problem to reload. Thanks for the tip on the 45 ACP dies, I'll look into that for mine. Thanks so much for commenting............Doc

Hi Matthew, Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it and it's always good to hear from you. The trigger pull on the rifle was five pounds, which is very nice, and the sights shot right where you aimed at 50 yards, so someone must have set this up after it hit the civilian market. The carbine, conversely, is around ten pounds and shoots way high, but is easy to load for. .....Doc
@@dr.durellshepard398 Thanks for writing back, I had one of the Spanish made rolling block rifles in my collect, but didn’t remember what the trigger pull was. I am sad to say I sold off most of my collect, so I can’t pull one out of the safe to check on things like this anymore. I do know that most had heavy trigger pulls, I think it helped a little with safety when the hammer was at full cock. I know on the New York State rolling block rifle and carbines the trigger pull could not be less the 6 pounds. One of the NYS rifles that I had when I was shooting at 50 yards I had to set the rear sight at 200 years to be on target at 50 years. Keep the videos coming, I do enjoy them.

Another interesting video and the knowledge you present on your Rolling Blocks. I commented to you before the last year’s end about acquiring a .38 cal Whitney Rolling Block from a friend. I have it now and taking it apart; I found the lower mainspring was broken & only a piece of the trigger spring inside. Plus the firing pin is mushroomed over. I had my flintlock rifle builder mentor look it over and he said the barrel rifling is shot out. I’d hate to see it become just a wall hanger and without you seeing it; I would appreciate any advice you have and if I should pursue restoring it in the future; if parts are available? Thank you Doc and have a good day. Best regards, Steve

Thank you Doc for the info for hopefully restoring my Rolling Block. As far as my current flintlock build, I'm estimating in a month to completion. I have the stock carved in the shape I’m going for. Some more hardware to make and then the designs to be carved & engrave. Far as the Whitney barrel; I can live using it as a round ball shooter if I don’t have it re-rifled. Thank you again Doc.
Hi Chris, I find that most carbines of that era are set to shoot high with their rainbow trajectory, but that was excessive. Thanks for watching...........Doc
