"During the night old Perkins get his leg bitten sort of....off"
Yess!
Doctor touches remaining bloody stump with his pipe stem. 😂
Rob, congratulations on your 1851pattern rifled musket. We all know how much you´ve been craving for !
Thank you kindly... A very special example, for sure.
It's a beaut!
These shoots always seem like the best kind of atmosphere. Just friendly and knowledgeable people and black powder. Congratulations on your acquisition of the P51. I’m looking forward to videos on it. I was also especially excited to see that NWMP Winchester ‘76. Perhaps that could make another guest appearance in the future as well?
The best kind of atmosphere.
Thanks for bringing us along Rob. Love these shoots, the uniforms and the beautiful weaponry. Oh, and can’t forget about the informative history lessons. Beyond awesome 👍
Very kind!
Your Peanuts 'adult' talking was brilliant and very funny! :)
Great video, I enjoy these meet up shoot videos you post; looks fun! Wish I could partake in this event.
Regrettably time is not in my favor, and unless an open is there, I lack British arms; my only blackpowder piece is my '61 Springfield.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@britishmuzzleloaders Keep making amazing content.
And is it true I must have something Victorian with me to partake?
And when and how did you get your amazing Brunswick?
What an outstanding event! I look forward to watching your Alberta shoot each year on You Tube and this one did not disappoint. On the contrary it was wonderful viewing. I really liked the format you used on this video to break down each event and explain the competitions in detail. I'm a new owner of a Snider 2 band short rifle and as of last week, a Snider cavalry carbine too. This is exactly the kind of inspiration that makes me even more keen to get on the range with them and shoot some Figure of Merit targets. Best wishes.
Congratulations on your new Sniders!
I would seriously love to attend such a fantastic event. Maybe one day🤔
It is a fine gathering for sure!
Another great video Rob, glad to see the Royal Navy represented! 😄 (I'm a Royal Navy veteran)
Cheers! Bill showed me his heart..... it was of oak....
@@britishmuzzleloaders 😂😂😂
That was brilliant, thank you kindly for sharing Rob! It was great to see you chaps firing a variety of beautiful old rifles. Some in quite remarkable condition considering they were 200+ year old service rifles! I personally found it very interesting seeing the stark contrast in reloading times and calibre varriants as weapons technology progressed through the ages. Muzzle loading, snider breach, martini henry and then then the first generation bolt actions. Inspirational stuff and looks like you all had a great laugh, as well as remaining historically accurate and factual.
Thanks again for the upload 👍
The BMF are a great bunch and the Alberta gang is no exception. So much fun.
Loving the use of the S.S. Great Britain from my city at the start.
Well spotted... You know how hard it is to find a picture of a sailing ship at a quayside? 😀
Huzzah Rob! Thanks so much for sharing. Much enjoyed the in depth looks at the Brunswicks, Nepalese Enfield and the original Bess. Hoping to see a P51 video soon?? 😏
I'm sure it will feature in the next of the Inkerman series.
What a great weekend , I am so envious of that beautiful P 51 . Thanks for sharing .
It is a fantastic piece...
27:41 All the way from Antigonish here in Nova Scotia. 😮❤
Yes indeed!
The bit of rob sweeping the rifle and bayonet from side to side at the idea of bugs is something I’ve had to deal with in Florida 😂
Haha!
Always look forward to watching these every summer.
Cheers!
I wonder how much longer until all these rifles are outlawed
Lets not dwell on such things right now...
@@britishmuzzleloaders Yes, you are correct. I did not intend to be a Debbie Downer. Apologizes all around. Perhaps I am just jealous that I wasn't there to enjoy such fine shooting.😝
Fantastic and educational as always!
Do you think that you might do an updated kit video showing some of the newer uniforms and pieces of equipment you’ve acquired?
Mmmm,... that usually happens when there is "enough" new material... I'm not there yet... The getup I used here was the tweed jacket I used for the Boer character in the MLE vs Mauser video and the trousers were off white trousers found at a second hand store... I made the gaiters..
Thanks Rob and friends, that was really nice to watch.
Glad to hear!
Fantastic as always!
Cheers!
I love shoots like this, just everyone having a good time. I went to a small match like this earlier this year, the 2nd annual time they've had it. More informal than anything else, all muzzleloaders but no inlines. The biggest thing was shooting at a Bigfoot target out to 100 yards. I think it's stuff like this that will hopefully draw in younger shooters. Nice to see some P39 muskets out there, almost unheard of to see them here in the US. There are the Indian made copies, but it's nice to see originals back in action again.
Sounds like a great time!
Outstanding shoot, thanks for sharing
It was V!
Well done, Rob. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
Oh my god! I thought the woodlands in your videos looked familiar! As one Albertan to another thank you for your videos! I hope I can get involved next year somehow!
It is fantastic country for this stuff for sure!
What an enjoyable video. Fascinating firearms and good shooting. Thank you
Cheers!
Good evening from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else
Who cares ameritrash.
Cheers!
At the 9:01 mark, I've been trying to figure out what that rifle was since it came up for sale more than a year ago! Glad to see it went to a good home, sorry to see it is still a mystery!
Indeed! It shot well though!
Great fun. Splendid that you've been able to secure the P51. Couldn't be in better hands.
Thank you. Very fortunate....
Good show ol man good show... I have had a few Martini's both cadet and full size and a couple Sniders over the years. A bit of work to load for them but great fun to shoot.
For sure!
Tiger Brand Coffee is a real treat! Even tigers prefer a cup of it to real meat.
Haha!
Love the stories and the guns, keep up the good work.
Cheers!
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good show!
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like a great time as always, and congrats on the '51. A beautiful piece, indeed.
It is and can't wait to get putting it through it's paces...
Looking great in that rifle brigade getup! Where did you get the jacket?
More Black Watch... hence the white kit... albeit missing the red hackle... (must've got lost in the bush). The jacket is an old tweed sports jacket that I added a button to and cut away the skirts a bit... Made it for the Boer character in the Mauser v MLE video a while back.
@@britishmuzzleloaders Ah that makes sense thanks for the correction. Upcycling at it's finest!
Great vid, Would guess you are going to do a video on the Ashanti campaigns in the future maybe, would love to see one on the New Zealand wars perhaps? (tactics used etc)
Mmmmm,.... Maybe into the future....
Well done!
Cheers!
Man that looks fun.
It was!
Thanks Rob . I look forward to this episode yearly . Kumasi shoot here in Australia would involve snake gaiters . It made my hair stand on end 😅
Thanks again .🙏
Cheers!
"The History Chap" has done a video on the Ashanti campaign, he has a great channel on British Empire military history.
Yes, he does a good job!
Hi Rob, I just picked up today a Cooey .22 bolt action made in 1960 (or prior) so is that antique enough to get a invite to next year's get together?! 😅 Great video! Thank you!
Haha! Cheers!
I cannot believe that those rifles come with built in cup holders and bento boxes for your lunch.
Sure thing!
This looks like it would be a fun event to attend. Do you have a web site with rules and suggestions how other nationalities can participate?
Sadly it is only open to invited members...
This is an arrangement after my taste! Nice guns, intersting targets, good humor, and lots of the holy black stuff.
Glad you approve!
@@britishmuzzleloaders Who wouldn't appreciate such a company?
Wat a time!
Yup!
Good Video
Thank you!
15:23 Those are cartridge steamer trunks.
Indeed!
Seeing this first few seconds. I have to make a joke, are u afraid of your shadow ? Swiping at trees with your bayonet.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Great video.
That was kind of the point.... Cheers!
They don't like the cold British steel up emm!!! 😂😂😂
Nope!
Interesting flags , the grand Union mmmm bit close to the 4th July 😂😂
And a British overseas territories flag although I couldn’t say which one 🤔
The others were an old Canadian Ensign and the Flag of the Honorable East India Company.
Owl Ship!
Not following.
0:06 "Warrior"?
SS Great Britian
How were the bugs?
Looks like tick country
Seems like you guys have fun 👍
No, no ticks. Thankfully.
At 18:51 mins I think that’s a P17 / Enfield 1917🤔
P14... its 303.
"A *tiger* in Africa?!"
A TIger!
@@Tadicuslegion78 A tiger??!!
I'd like to make that clear. ...Is some multi-cellular life form with stripes, huge razor-sharp teeth, about eleven foot long, and of the genus Felis Horribilis: what we doctors, in fact, call a 'tiger'.
No,... it was a virus....
I’ve been thinking of buying a martini Henry and I’ve seen a few for $700 Canadian, is that a good price?
I’d say so… but not seen the rifle so can’t really comment .
funny but I love it
Glad to hear!
What is the William Blake is this? Kharki? Tygers? Best watch your Imperial behind.... especially at the Alberta Shoots
Next thing you know I'll be missing my leg from a virus...
@@britishmuzzleloaders That is just the Jungle Law being effective, Sir
Why wasn't I there with all my black powder guns and all my historical weapons?!!
😀
Wonderful video Rob!
I have a question; sorry to bug you about such an old video but do you know what military march music you used here? (14:16 - 14:52).ua-cam.com/video/BXKOciSsO60/v-deo.html
I can't tell you at the moment.. sorry.. its from a Trooping.
@@britishmuzzleloadersDo you think you could find out?
@@JostVanWair I can not,.. It's actually from a video of a RM band performance.
@@britishmuzzleloaders I see, thanks
@@britishmuzzleloaders Sorry to bug you one last time but do you have the video of the performance at least? I could try to shazam the song.
*second best warriors in West Africa
Hahah!
The channel will just grow it back then?
Look,...... I have to level with you,,... its not a virus...
I cant imagine fighting a war with muzzleloaders. What ? What do you mean we only get one shot and then we have to us the pointy thing at the end ...
That is the caption of a fud meme if I ever saw one....
The bayonet was one of the things the British Army did best. It’s relatively easy to teach people to shoot at someone. Standing your ground in the face of a bayonet charge is a totally different thing and one of the reasons militia/guerrillas usually failed in battle against British regulars.
:)
👍
were you the one giving orders?/ did the people stay on the property overnight or stay at a hotel?
Yes, and yes and yes.
@@britishmuzzleloaders I guess that is what you can do when you are a SGT. lol
At last a brutality match that fat old men like moi, could participate in, sans heart failures!
Haha! It was a good time for sure!
Why are you dressed as a tiger?
Even gun nuts can be furries.
Welcome to the middle of the film....
Where do you guys do this I would love to join in next year
It's for invited Forum members only, unfortunately.
@@britishmuzzleloaders well I’m glad every one can participate in the fun, assholes...
