This sounds very interesting. There is so much I have heard about this weapon. Mostly negative. That is "overheats and malfunctions quickly in battle" that "Custer was sabotaged by political opponents who sent him defective Springfields to the 1876 Sioux campaign" ...Yet I have never touched one. Looking forward to your videos.
Outside of this first one, which was really just a proof of concept with a 58 rimfire cartridge. The rest of them are really good rifles, at least if they're still in good condition

Excellent, I can't wait. Conversions are my favorite weapons of the period, so seeing a really deep dive like this is going to be fantastic. Were you able to get a copy of The Pitman Notes Vol. 3 I suggested? If not, much of the same information can be found in "Description and Rules for the Management of the Springfield Rifle, Carbine and Army Revolvers" from 1882, which can be downloaded as a PDF online.
i havent yet it is on my list. For this video, it was mostly focused on the Arsenal itself and allin. it will definitely come in handy in the next video when we get to the model 1866. To be quite honest, I never found any true manual of arms for the 1865 model as it is quite a bit different than the others. If you know of any manual for the 1865 I would appreciate knowing about it.
@@Real11BangBang I don't know of any manuals specifically for the 1865. The 1882 is the first one I've seen, followed by CPT Stanhope Blunt's "Instructions in Rifle and Carbine Firing for the U.S. Army" from 1885, and his subsequent version from 1889 (both of which can be downloaded as PDFs). But I know this is just the first video in the series, and that later videos will cover the later rifles, so that's why I brought it up.
thanks i just orderd it off of Amazon I can't wait to learn some more about Buffington. If people are as wrong about him as they generally about Ripley, it will be very interesting to say the least.
@@Real11BangBangBuffington's sight is crazy; far too advanced for regular grunts. It's like they absorbed the information about the failures of musketry in the War and went too far in the other direction. The Pitman Notes are just drawings and ballistic data and the information about assembly, disassembly and so on, and the 1882 manual is much the same, but Blunt's books are fantastic sources of information about marksmanship that exceed even Continental sources in detail--this is really amazing stuff, the most advanced kind of marksmanship training, and far more than a regular line trooper would ever need, so it's a good match for the Buffington sight. I cribbed a lot of data from Blunt for the marksmanship sections of my Historical Shooting books for precisely that reason--who else would tell us how the humidity in the room when you load ammunition will affect elevation when you shoot the rounds?
Depending on what point in the war, most likely would be using a fowling piece or an American long rifle early on in the war later on military grade muskets would find their way into the hands of militia men
@@Real11BangBang I had grand parents who fought and were in the upstate. I have read on paper that said the Pennsylvania rifle had migrated to South Carolina but I wonder
Outstanding

Thank you. This first video mostly deals with the prelude in the story that comes before the model of seventy three, but we will get there

Is that a Sharps rifle? *runs*

Which gun do you think an Appalachian militia member would have during the revolutionary war. South Carolina or north.
