    Hello Mr Shepard. I am a collector of antique firearms in France. I see that you have a wonderful collection of carbines and rifles. Do you have a shop or a place that you recommand to find some of those pretty rare early 1870's carbines and rifles ?

    Fascinating looking piece. I've read around the Internet that the hammers sometimes both fell at the same time when pressing the trigger... I don't suppose this was a common problem with all the rifles? Also, would you happen to know, Sir, what happened to the rifles after the war? Any chance that they were sold in the civilian market directly after the war or perhaps they headed to military storage facilities and stayed there for a while?

    • @dr.durellshepard398
      @dr.durellshepard398  Рік тому +2

      Hello Sir, and thank you for commenting. I believe that the first iteration of this design was subject to double firing from both hammers falling together. But the 1000 sold to the US government, which this one was one of those has a revised mechanism that is very definite in its sequencing. I tried to make it fail before I shot it and could not get it to misbehave. That being said, I do see great problems with it being loaded improperly specially during the heat of battle. Using any bullet other than the proprietary round base bullet would also be a blueprint for disaster. Please click on this blue link 34:24 and you see where the entire lot was purchased by Bannerman and sold to the general public in the 1920s. Regards...Doc

    This invention for pistols and rifles seems like an accident waiting to happen. I am very surprised the Army approved these for purchase. I really liked the cutlery items, though. I am surprised the cutlery company did not make a knife gun or Elgin Cutlass pistol. I had a blacksmith make a iron spork for me when I was doing re-enacting of the Fur Trade period. It was very convenient to use.

      Good morning to you Robert, glad you could come on the shoot. It is a very interesting weapon and made very well, BUT...these ideas never translate well into the field. If loaded with the prescribed round base bullets you may have a chance of it working as intended. Conversely, the first thing they would drop down the barrel is a hollow base .58 , which could leave a considerable air space behind the charge and afford no gas seal. Your spork sounds very useful out on bivouac, and as a bonus, it was hand made. Hope your doing well.....Doc
