I must say, being a gunsmith I usually cringe at most of the homemade garbage can guns I have seen on RUclips. Yours is not the case. This was a well thought out and executed build. I like what you did.
I like the look of the gun but I wish he would have gone into depth about how he used a hex screw for the nipple I had to pause and observe the finished product to see it. When loading though, doesn’t it go powder, patch and then bullet? I mean, I know if shooting a black powder shot gun it goes powder, patch, shot, patch but I don’t think that’s how it goes for much else.
Do like the colonists did, take it out in the woods, tie it down to trees and rocks, tie a string to the trigger and stand a long way off. Apparently it was standard practice to load it with a double charges when shooting that way. If it withstood the double charge, it was safe for a single charge.
+userunavailable3095 What youre describing is called 'proofing'... All firearm makers do it to this day, they just have a more controlled setting ;) Im unsure about the other manufacturers but I know Ruger proofs their guns with 150% loads.
My father did that with the family's Civil War rifle. Way too much powder. (Likely a triple or quad charge). The barrel blew apart. He got one heck of a whuppin'. He survived only because he tied it in the crotch of a tree, and used a string to fire it with.
Knew I heard shakey as soon as the video started. I listen to his music while out in the country and on the road and I am filled with the most magical feeling I could be filled with. The feeling of nostalgia, and the unmistakable feeling of being truly content. Whenever I have an issue, I go listen to him while creating something amazing with my time, and I will definitely roll the bones while I build my first musket.
I've loaded a few and powder, patch,then ball. The patch envelopes the ball as it's rammed on to the charge. The patch is trimmed to fit before seating the ball.
I live in Florida part-time I can own them in Florida but there's some states that you can't even own a cap and ball revolver Pike Pennsylvania Virginia New Jersey New York I own a cap and ball revolver back brass frame the nipples are seized but it still shoots fine last i tested it a bout year ago I am looking at the 1858 and I can do a cartridge conversion but I do not know if that would be legal
I'd like to suggest that you put the powder in first, THEN the lubricated patch with the ball wrapped in it.. (The patch does little good being placed last in the barrel, if you design the barrel to fit the bullet properly.) You don't want a lot of airspace between the powder & the ball. Bad things can happen. OTT, Great build.
That's beauty of a musket-gun. I would sand the edges at bottom a little bit more to make the wooden parts rounder like the ones made by historic gun makers. Will start a similar project in my coming freetime. Will go for a flintlock instead.
that was absolutely amazing congratulations dude most homemade guns look like some cobbled-together pipe bombs this though actually look like a professional kit
2:27 excuse me but can u please explain how to connect that bolt looking thing near the barrel wich the hammer is supposed to strike i didnt see any explanations on how u attached it to the barrel and thats real important otherwise I wont be able to fire
I drilled an tapped a hole and threaded a piece of a bolt into it that had an "L" shaped hole. This L was formed by drilling 3/4 of the way through the bolt, and then another hole drilled down to meet it from the top of the bolt face. I threaded that top hole for the nipple (the part the percussion cap goes on)
Nice project and great job. We used an old door to make the stock for an old WWII military rifle we converted to 308 Winchester. It's not pretty, but as a test project it succeeded and has never failed despite several thousands of rounds of full pressure 308 Win loads and 25 years.
I know this is old... But why do people feel the need to trash talk a simple project as if its being pushed fourth as the newest design from Barrett? Its a homemade flintlock for shits and giggles! To the people who disapproves... Why are you even here?!
Thanks, SS. It was so odd and alluring to me too. I then wrote to him and asked for permission to use it in my video. He wrote right back and told me he would be honored if I used it. He is a great guy
SugarcreekForge that’s awesome. Really enjoying this build series. You’re a new find for me on RUclips. It’s great when two cool things come together! Appreciate the response!
I'm amazed that you still have both eyes and all your fingers? As a 50 year black powder man, I've seen boughten barrels blow up and they were made of the correct steel, not mild junk steel from hardware stores. They say God watches out for Children and fools. That being said... nice job. MacGyver would be proud. Dave Pappy Dave's Knives
Haha, I am too old to be a child, Dave. So I must fit into the latter category :-). Wanting to keep my fingers and eyes, I did check the PSI rating for both the liner and the black iron pipe before I fired it. I have ample strength for the light loads I shot. But, one can never be too careful... I don't want to tempt that protection. Have a great week.
Glad to hear that you checked out the PSI rating BEFORE you shot it. I used to tie mine to a tree and use a rope to pull the trigger. I built a 69 caliber smooth bore Tower pistol that shot a 300 grain bullet back in 1975 and that's how I tested it. I couldn't even find a bullet mold so I made my own. I was terrified of it before that first shot :~))))) God bless. Dave
@@billwessels207 High tensile strenght mild steel but yes - mild steel.. If I would every would have to rely on the rubbish steel grades sold in DIY stores I would go at least double wall thickness for the target pressure... just my thought...

Thanks, Br. I am glad that you liked them. It has always been fun for me to make things. Even some things that seem complicated can be made if you just are patient and do it little by little. Have a great weekend
That's a nice self build. Brother the patch goes between the powder and ball not last. Unless your using a way smaller ball than the barrel to keep pressure down and need the patch to hold it in there lol. A old sheet cut into round patches that when the ball is seated in the muzzle it covers half the ball is good. Take and lube the patch and it'll make ramming the ball easier. Folks forget a black power Well Pyrodex is damn accurate on out there. If one uses Black powder You will forget what you was shootin at by the time the smoke clears. Pyrodex pistol or The rifle powder burns cleaner less smoke and easier cleaning. Nice Kentucky ish pistol all the same
Did you double up on the barrel? It seems like you slipped on piece of pipe into another piece of pipe, which is a good idea, definitely beef's up the strength of the barrel, but I am not sure if that is what you did or not,kinda hard to tell. Would appreciate your input, thanks, very nice build!!!
What "all those tools" are you talking about? He built the thing with NOTHING! This is a great demonstration that you can build a weapon with nothing but a drill and a file!
I really liked your video. However I was wondering how exactly the explosion from the cap got into the barrel. Is it like a flintlock where you just drilled a hole into the side of the gun?
Thanks for the encouragement! It is a percussion cap-fired system. So, I threaded a screw into a tapped hole in the barrel. I drilled a little hole down through the center of that screw. So the hammer hits the cap which is placed over the screw with the hole in it. When it goes off, the sparks go down that hole and into the barrel.
Dear SugarcreekForge person, I really enjoyed this video. I should like to make a black powder pistis for myself. I very liked as well the marvelous music. Thank you, pierre from New Mexico p.s. I have subscribed to your channel
Um so with your hammer itcomes down hits nipple and cap like normal but bith that bolt did you drill straigh down to the middle the drill long ways in or how does fle spark travel from the nipple to the powder though the bolt i

Did you weld the bolt on the back of the barrel or is it just screwed in really really well? I want to do something simulair But dont have a welder and just hammering the back of the barrel closed is not to safe in my experience

@@SugarcreekForge I worked in a die repair shop years ago. The only thing that kept me from manufacturing what I really wanted was Federal laws prohibiting it. I'm just too pretty to go to prison.
It is made from a piece of steel tubing inside a piece of water pipe. I tapped a hole into the barrel and threaded a small bolt that I drilled a hole through the middle. I drilled and tapped the bolt and screwed in a drilled through screw and shaped that into the percussion cap nipple.
Thank you very much. If you have or ever make a video of how the barrel was made I'd like to see it.This was still one of the best videos I have ever seen.

If I owned a metal lathe, something a little more modern would be coming out the back door of my shop.
I hear you, brother ;-)

@@SugarcreekForge I worked in a die repair shop years ago. The only thing that kept me from manufacturing what I really wanted was Federal laws prohibiting it. I'm just too pretty to go to prison.
thats sweet , i was going to buy my own but i dont have 1500 bucks, i might copy your design
Thanks, buddy. Go for it :-)
Nice video & music. What, exactly, is the barrel made from? Also the primer seating into the gun barrel?
It is made from a piece of steel tubing inside a piece of water pipe. I tapped a hole into the barrel and threaded a small bolt that I drilled a hole through the middle. I drilled and tapped the bolt and screwed in a drilled through screw and shaped that into the percussion cap nipple.
Thank you very much. If you have or ever make a video of how the barrel was made I'd like to see it.This was still one of the best videos I have ever seen. The sound,resolution,clarity & stability are excellent compared to any others. You could teach how to make a quality youtube video. I'll be looking at all your videos. You earned my Best of youtube award.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
What was the total cost of the Materials? Awesome project by the way
Thank you very much. I am guessing $20
I noticed that you left out the construction and tapping for the nipple.
Yes... I missed a couple of things by forgetting to film, or to press record after setting up the camera... :-(
How do you securely put those prices together?
SugarcreekForge is drilling a hole and sticking it in the hole tight enough or is there a sealant you used?
