I'm so old school I've long thought of that carbine as the ultimate survival or even "bug out" carbine especially when paired with a matching revolver. With a couple of spare loaded cylinders, you could go WAY back in the hills, so to speak, and keep yourself and/or your family fed and protected. Sadly, for reasons I have yet to find any documentation/justification for, hunting with revolving rifles or shotguns is and has been illegal for many, many decades here in S.C.. I can only assume that sometime way, way back in time, somebody important or associated with somebody important suffered a hand injury by trying to shoot a revolving carbine or shotgun with their weak or off hand in front of the cylinder and they, or their survivors, campaigned to have such firearms made illegal for everybody else to hunt with. You can own 'em and you can shoot 'em.....You just can't legally hunt with them.

I own a Ruger using #10 caps

When loading powder I always 2:30 use a flashlight to make sure powder is equal in all cylinders

Nanchez has “ 11 caps

Good video

What a beautiful place you got there. I love that fence, the horse, what a nice place. I always wanted to know how to paint so I could try and capture what I feel when I see something like that. Nice videos, we're lucky to have affordable reproductions. The old .36 Navy still my favorite, the .44 version is almost as cool. My old TC Renegade gets it done too, that was my very first black powder, 30 some years ago now. Great channel.

Looks like the Griswold &Gunnison had the round barrel and ty he Schneider &Glassick's had the octagonal barrels

Nice point of view. Love the smoking barrel!

Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy

I like unboxing videos. It's like watching someone else Christmas. Those bird's head grips are really nice. I have one in 44 cal. and changed out the barrel which was nothing more than an 1860 cut down. I slapped on an 1851 44 cal. 7.5 in. barrel and it has a sweet balance to it. I plan on purchasing a 5.5 in. 44 cal. barrel for it. Those Pietta's interchange parts quite well, except for the confederate reproductions.

Sure beats a single shot

always a plaisir !!!!

I tried 30g pyrodex cylinders, CCI magnum percussian caps, and Missouri Bullets 45 cal 200g semi-wadd cutters.

Well done. 👍

Love the old spaghetti westerns. Buddies of mine and I in college from time to time would rent several old westerns and binge watch them on a Friday night. Then we’d go out and shoot our cap and ball revolvers. Man we had fun.

Been thinking of getting one for a long time. How bad is the debris blowback in your face? Never mind. You covered it in the video.

For a Few Dollars More … Classic …!

Jay Stone, I enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing the info on this carbine. I have one and I love it. I didn't love it as a cap and ball, but rather as a 45 Colt. It's fun to shoot. Funny, I didn't like loading this thing and shooting it as a cap and ball, ruclips.net/video/lVNs7LtqU70/видео.htmlsi=0WtLEHREeAZg7oz5 . Even though I have several cap and ball revolvers that I love. Once I put the conversion cylinder in it I fell in love with it. I got to put on my Lee Van Cleef with it! Ha ruclips.net/video/LZM5lLNF4lw/видео.htmlsi=qDy_tgp2-x8RjC3k

It's heartbreaking that Ruger stopped making these. Maybe Cap and Ball is a small section of the gun market but still, a lot of viewers on this channel would probably buy one.

Great video, loved it. I've never owned or even shot one of those carbines. However as I've told you before I used to shoot long range BP pistols from a sandbag rest and sat down at 100 yards. My .36 Uberti Navy Colt performed very well with 25 grains of TS2 powder and a .375 ball, shooting at a standard target -- 6 shots in 30 seconds. So your .44 carbine should do well at that sort of distance. Yes it does need a little adjusting of the foresight but its shooting well -- would the .457 ball be better? Never liked the Remington pistols as mine always clog up on the spindle/arbour pin whereas the Colts always seem to be clear of that problem but can get remains of caps stuck into the action. I believe the 'shooters of yesteryear' used to hold the pistol (barrel up high and back towards you) in the air to allow any old caps to fall away instead of going down into the action. Wouldn't be allowed on a modern shooting range of course.

ive always thought a single action army in dedicated carbine format wouldve been a really neat thing i know heritage makes one but one in say .38/357 or .45 would be pretty neat

I have owned and shot two of these over the last 30 years or so. I found them accurate and a lot of fun. If you are getting splatter on your face your cylinder gap is probably a bit wide. My first one did that until I fixed it. The one I have now doesn't spit as it is set up better, although the mainspring was weak...so fixed that too. I use mine in Western Action events in the rifle section, changing cylinders after the first four rounds for a previously loaded and capped one. I run them full throttle, like the matching pistols.

20 yards ! First shoots ! Congratulations ! 👍

I have one, same make and model, but I put a conversion cylinder in it to shoot .45 colt cowboy loads. I still get blowback in my face. Cap and ball or cartridge, I guess that's just how Remington revolving carbines are.

Nice reflection on confederate production. Most of the gun barrels made in the south were round because octagonal barrels meant more machining steps with a mill. Steel was very precious material when there were plenty of brass bells to be melted down. (There were warehouses full of bells in New Orleans when captured).

Lee Van Cleef would be proud! Nice demo J 👍🇺🇸

Well done great video Thanks! P.S. do you shoot the brass frame remington pistols?

Absolutely would love to own one of those , they are pricey though ! I agree with previous poster about conversion cylinder for that carbine. Another excellent video!!

Great vid I own two one with conversion cylinder..great guns

I do love mine and I do take it hunting from time to time. Very light weight and easy to carry around in the woods 👍🏽

I find that blow-back to the face interesting because that was the main reason I got rid of my Remington 1858 (pistol). Different nipples helped a bit but nothing I did stopped it entirely so I passed it on along to a new owner who shot it several times before buying it. He said he didn't think it was all that bad, or at least thought he wouldn't, but I was darn happy to part with that one even at an almost give-away price. Is this a fairly common problem with the Remington? I understand that kind of thing can happen occasionally with any Cap&Ball revolver but that one was bad enough to cause it to be down right unpleasant to shoot.

Subbed!

I just bought a malcom gen2 3x scope for mine 1880 ish close enough for me going to use the Henry yellow boy mount. Vintage isn't cheating is it.

I got one a year ago. I remember Lee Van Clieve and Kurt Russell using one in movies. I’m eventually going to convert it to cartridge firing and add a Schutzen rifle palm rest where the loading lever latch is now. Just deciding on cutting a loading gate or just using a Howells drop in cylinder.

My screw isses were eliminated after using blue locktite in the screws.

I also never liked Unboxing videos… Until today ! Fun vid brother ! God Bless !

watching and listening closely you could see about the the time the hammer struck the cap you ding those bullets were moving pretty quick im guessing about 800 F.P.S.

Now that's gorgeous!✌️ Any chance they make that in 45colt?

I am curious how you load it off frame. How do you hold the cylinder to use that tool.

what a fun carry piece. thanks for sharing

A really nice revolver, congrats

NICE!! LOOKS GREAT! I'm in the Ca desert with a laptop and hot spot shooting flint and caps today on a dry lake that is not dry, just enough water at 105 for the dogs to put up birds and stay cool. Smokem if you got um.

Great,J. Stone! I assembled a 44 Snubby, from parts. Had Gary Barnes fit a Kirst cylinder to it, but can still use the percussion cylinder. I never much liked the Thunderer style bird head grip, so I used the one without the flat.

Could you post the sellers name in the description or a pinned comment please?

Nice looking gun!

Awesome!!! Now I want one!! Wife gave me that LOOK!!! LOL Happy for you my friend.
