I like the way you display a zoomed-in image of the target in the corner of the screen. Makes it super satisfying to see the impact and then hear the ping. The way the bullet hitting the gong made the rain disperse for an instant was really cool too.
Finally getting round to hand loading for my Martini-Henry and looking forward to shooting it for the first time. Your videos have been extremely helpful in getting the information required for the reloads. Keep the videos coming.
Precisely why I came here. Was curious to see the actual rifle and its acoustic as well as how it compared to the game. Never realized how much preparation and techniques were involved in proper use of this gun. Congratulations on the amazing video.
Excellent shooting! You're very blessed to have that gorgeous Martini in your collection. I'd love to go up shooting in that area too, it seems like a perfect woods-range.
I love the rifle, both in game and obviously the real one....but yes, DICE needs to address this over-nerf to one of its most beloved weapons. Controversial isn't always negative, despite minor and poorly formulated complaints. Luckily, i've read DICE is aware that the community is not very happy regarding these new changes....this gave me some hope after all
Love your videos and your gun. I shoot a Flintlock and love anything black powder. I love the falling block Rifles and found your videos while learning about the Sharps. I really cant thank people who post these videos enough as i have learned most of what i know from learning from them. I thank you sir
Thanks for the information on your shooting rest, clever idea to build it to fit the canteen holder. Neat design and looks like it works very well. Thanks for taking the time to shows us.
Mike Palubeskie No problem. You are not the first to ask, so I thought that I'd do an upcoming video about "my shooting kit and what is in it" kind of thing. I'm working on it. The inclusion of some of it in this clip was just a quick demonstration.. More about the design in the dedicated video. Cheers.
Good job as always Rob, well done. As to management of fouling and the need to use the cleaning rod and patches because of the breech, I use a pullthrough. It is made from a .303" case and a piece of stout cord. I use a piece of folded domestic floor cloth as the '4 x 2' which is sized to fit very tightly. Two passes seem to clear a fouled barrel quite well.
Duncan Andrews Thank you Duncan. Yes a pull through would work very well. Friends use a commercial "bore snake" with the built in brush and apart from needing to be washed every now-and-again, seems to work well. I think that I should get such an item sometime. I like your home made variety too... I suppose that I was drawing a comparison to a Sharps or Rolling block with their ability of having a rod and patch run down them "at the bench" (or in the prone) from the breech. Very quick and unobtrusive, versus having to get up and either drop the weight down the bore or, in the case of the rod, punch it down the muzzle. Of course, in a military musketry context, wiping wasn't part of the practice, nor was it in contemporary competitions, though blow tubing seems to have been widespread.
Yet another fine video. It so well shows the potentual of those old weapons. I once ordered three martinis from Sarco and they all went missing via UPS. I ended up with a Martini .303 carbine that was a very tired piece indeed. So I never got to play with the Martini. Such is life.
Found your channel while researching for a tabletop RPG campaign I'm designing. Wonderful work you do here and all of your vids, especially in drscribing minutiae. Thank you, seriously. I don't know how it felt for you shooting while it was raining, but thank you because i got to see how the rifle works in those conditions.
+Jeff Brown Thank you Jeff. The recoil is stout but not harsh. Sort of like the difference between a "boom" and a "crack".... Glad you enjoy things here, on the channel.
Apologies on behalf of the younger generation, let me elaborate: Two months ago a popular video game franchise (Battlefield) released it's new installment which is set during World War 1 (Battlefield 1) and the Martini Henry Rifle is featured in this game. The Martini Henry was possibly the most powerful standard issue rifle in the game (sometimes considered overpowered) that is before it was "nerfed" in a recent update to the game. In gaming terms, to "nerf" a weapon is to basically make sure that the level of damage it does, does not over exceed the average damage of other weapons in the same category. I do hope this helps although it might have been a bit confusing...
Sami Thank you! I still don't have a grip on what the request for a "post-nerf" review meant.... Surely, the real Martini has nothing to do with the game, and I can assure everyone that the Martini and it's capabilities have remained the same since the the re-jigging of the game mechanics. Hence my query. Thanks again!
britishmuzzleloaders haha, "post-nerf reviews" are only said as a joke in reference to the "nerfing" of the weapon in the game. It's basically a little tease!
Great video, great shooting! I specifically want to thank you so much for showing us all how results can be achieved with pre-made cartridges at remarkable ranges with weapons that some others (Not pointing fingers here) claim to be incapable of with anything except their expensive hardware. And not only that, you show us all this for free, at the expense of your own personal time in putting these videos together and uploading them. AND, you are well-spoken, to the point that I actually find the video well worth the watch for that alone. I take my hat off for you sir, for what it`s worth you have another subscriber!
ToreDL87 I am humbled by your kind comments. You are welcome, and I am very glad that you find something that you find interesting, here on the channel. With a little effort, all black powder weapons have a sweet spot. Sometimes it takes very little effort to find it and sometimes it takes a very, very long time with a great deal of lead expended.... I have been relatively lucky with this Martini... tried a number of loads starting from 75gr and worked up to 85gr... It was the 85gr version that worked the best... Thanks again and thanks for the subby... Cheers.
145 dislikes, how? it was a great presentation of what the rifle and shooter were capable of. Great shooting and excellent kit, I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you very much for your sentiments (and subby)... I can't comment on the dislikes... maybe Battlefield 1 gamers expecting something else?... I don't know...
Well done, Sir! I appreciate all of your videos. And I especially appreciate someone willing to shoot these old military pieces in inclement weather. They won't melt, folks. :)
I'll have to take mine out for a run soon,after watching your series,I'm getting a twitchy finger, :) ah the smell of black powder smoke,the boom of the shot,the clang of the gong,the black muck in the bore,well 3 of 4 ain't bad and it puts a smile on yer dial. Cheers
That is some very good shooting, Hitting those steel targets at 400 yards with a 140 year old black powder rifle. Very interesting and excellent shooting.
pdalko Thanks. It was a bit of a chore to get on at the 400yd point but once I got the point of aim right, not to mention the sight setting, the grouping on the plate was substantially less than 20 inches... I was a very happy Martini owner, for sure. Cheers.
I had the pleasure of shooting a Martini-Henry once, I was stunned. I was expecting it to be a clunky something or other but found it was slim and light, much more like a winchester than a mauser. Was shooting (standing) at a manhole cover from 200 yards (using brass turned on a lathe!) and hitting it about every other shot. That must have been a very intimidating weapon from that time, it's an extremely faithful firearm.
It was. He was a collector and had quite a few Martini-Henrys. He even had two small ones (babes), I don’t remember the cartridge for it but they weren’t nearly as impressive as the 45 cal ones. I can’t imagine why they were even made but he was crazy about them. He said the 45 cal brass cost 12 bucks each and only lasted about 3 shots. I told him he should anneal the brass both before and after sizing but I don’t think he knew what I was talking about. It was an experience though!
Really enjoying your videos and tempted to fire my Martini Henry MkII. We have much stricter gun laws here in the UK but will look into seeing what's possible at Bisley, which is near me. Well done and thank you.
One tip I read in a period book, was to close the lever slowly and gradually. Supposedly it made for a lighter trigger pull, but I never did try it when I had my Mk. II.
@@britishmuzzleloaders I was never fortunate enough to try one, I had an 1877 LSA Mk. II, an 1883 Enfield Mk. III, and an 1887 Mk. IV. All of which, of course, had the later trigger assembly without the tumbler rest. My Citadel .303 was a Mk. I, complete with the brass axis pin, but it had a later trigger assembly fitted.
That was a good group on target at 400 yards. Great shooting, sir. I can see why they where so excited about smokeless powder though. That cloud of smoke would tell everyone where you where after the first shot. Still, for target shooting black powder just has a certain enjoyable quality. Love the videos.
I love practical historical research like this. He’s using a fairly scientific, ordered method to test the antique rifle design under controlled conditions, to show what it can and can’t do. Similar tests on older firearms have shown them to be far more accurate than we nowadays would expect. We shouldn’t turn our noses up at older tech, eh?
Always come back to this video after a long range outing with my mk4. I found with goex old Eynsford, will still shoot a six o'clock POA up to 400yds. Martinis ( with a fair bit of concentration ) are certianly capable striking AND grouping on a man sized target at distances MODERN military's train marksmanship.
I've been pricing the mark 1 Rob-one got sold for £6000-I just got a mark 2 Enfield (upgraded from a mark 1)-and that was expensive enough. A good rifle is hard to find. They are actually an investment long term.
Another great video. I envy the country side you have available to you for shooting in & some amazing echoes going on. The first shot in particular sounded just like the soundtrack from Zulu. When cleaning my Martini I find it all too easy to leave a Crud ring at the point in the barrel where it starts to "widen out" & lead into the chamber. At that point I have to switch to a brush & patch which will spread out.
Peter Martini I just focus a wet patch at the chamber and that seems to get rid of the crud ring.... Followed by a couple of dry ones of course.... The funniest sound moment in Zulu is when, towards the end, a cease fire is given by Stanley Baker, I think, and in an instant, all is quiet.... no echo or anything... A bit of a slip-up in the sound engineers' office, I should think.... Great movie, too bad it wasn't more representative of history though... Thanks for your comments Peter. Always a pleasure.
Another excellent video with a quality soundtrack. I've been wondering just how accurate the Martini's were. One in good shooting condition is at the top of my acquisition list. thanks for posting, 400 yds with open sights takes some serious marksmanship skills
Seriously considering buying one soon. Been watching a lot of videos on reloading the rounds. You should do the qualification course and invite some people. I'm sure there would be interest.
This poor guy, has all the comments from gamers, probably has no idea what we're talking about.
I'm slowly getting a grip of it!...
britishmuzzleloaders it must be awesome suddenly getting so many views
Ah well u could call me multicultural, because I love hunting, fishing, cars, guns, and yes gaming.
I'm sure he's happy to have the views
That technique with the two shells is pure genius.
I like the way you display a zoomed-in image of the target in the corner of the screen. Makes it super satisfying to see the impact and then hear the ping.
The way the bullet hitting the gong made the rain disperse for an instant was really cool too.
Yep, the rain just made it better!
Damn this guy got to rank 10 recon.
This guy invented rank 10 recon..... :-)
Runslik3Wind fr a true battlefield scout 😂😂👍👍👌👌
Runslik3Wind Too bad it was merfed and he needs to.use his blow tune after each round, man that's a long reaload time
Runslik3Wind lolol
Shortcut bundle
This is pre nerf
looooooooooooool
hahahah good one, u have thumb up from me! xD
Made me laugh m8...
This youtuber probably doesn't know what u are talking about..
1 shot goes through 3 zulus, modern guns are closer to nerf guns. 1 shot from this above waist your dead forsure
Finally getting round to hand loading for my Martini-Henry and looking forward to shooting it for the first time. Your videos have been extremely helpful in getting the information required for the reloads. Keep the videos coming.
That's great news! Happy that the clips have helped in your reloading efforts. Cheers.
That rifle has an amazing report. Greatly enjoyed this video, loved the patient and methodical style.
Cheers!
The Video is outdated. The Martin got a Nerf. Thank you Dice
Believe you will see an increase in views on this video as an extremely popular video game, Battlefield 1, features this weapon. (:
Thanks! Hope it appeals!
Precisely why I came here. Was curious to see the actual rifle and its acoustic as well as how it compared to the game. Never realized how much preparation and techniques were involved in proper use of this gun. Congratulations on the amazing video.
Its_Pepper I'm playing bf1 an that was in my suggestion !
The martini is ap Nice in the game
The rifle sounds incredible - just the sound alone makes it sound like a powerhouse.
The acoustics are really quite good there, aren't they?
Excellent shooting! You're very blessed to have that gorgeous Martini in your collection. I'd love to go up shooting in that area too, it seems like a perfect woods-range.
WhiteCavendish Thanks! The area is quite spectacular, for sure.
too bad it's nerfed now
taste the rainbow i'm dying😂😂😂😂
taste the rainbow They should introduce the blowholing mechanic to re-buff it...

Sounds exactly the same in BF1, well done DICE!

Be even better if you could hear footstep locations

Well done and thank you.
While I don't live in the UK, I do know man who shoot Martinis regularly. Red tape, yes (like any other arm) but completely doable.
One tip I read in a period book, was to close the lever slowly and gradually. Supposedly it made for a lighter trigger pull, but I never did try it when I had my Mk. II.
The Mk I has a very light trigger to begin with...
@@britishmuzzleloaders I was never fortunate enough to try one, I had an 1877 LSA Mk. II, an 1883 Enfield Mk. III, and an 1887 Mk. IV. All of which, of course, had the later trigger assembly without the tumbler rest. My Citadel .303 was a Mk. I, complete with the brass axis pin, but it had a later trigger assembly fitted.
