Good Video.
I am surprised by anyone watching these videos that has not watched the Anvil Gun smithing videos on restoration and conservation. I had never heard of the boiling process for converting rust prior to watching Mark’s videos. I have had several materials engineering classes but at no point was this process discussed. In fact I sent links to the videos to several other engineers that I know that are interested in restoring old machinery and have an interest in firearms. One of those friend has a degree in Materials Engineering and had never heard of the process.
Knowledge is power. Keep spreading the knowledge!
Thanks for the comment and yes we will keep on keeping on.
Also more original muskets coming in the near future
This video has made my day for 2 reasons: #1. I worked in the Conservation Dept. of The National Museum of the American Indian, CRC, Smithsonian on their Indian owned guns to get them ready for an Exhibit on opening day. This has brought back wonderful memories. #2. I own a reproduction of a French IX Cavalry Carbine, Made in India, and exported to North America.
It does not have a factory scoop carved out of the left side of the buttstock, so it is impossible to line up the front sight and aim for any accuracy. At my age, I would be afraid to cut a scoop out of the stock that would look factory done, so I will just keep it in my collection as it is. Thank you for this very informative video.

Wow, this was fantastic! What a great ol' musket and an outstanding tutorial of what goes into bringing them back & even throwing some sparks! 👍👍
Thanks, GF45ACP
I'd love to be able to hop in a time machine and go back and watch these guys build these guns.
You and me both
That arsenal repair is very interesting. Excellent video gentlemen.
Good morning brother from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing these videos
Good morning!
Good morning from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and information
Very interesting y'all get some really cool guns and I love the restoration you do Hatchet well preserve it
Thanks, Louisiana!
I did the same thing with my .577 Snider. I found gunk in places that it had obviously rested in for over 100 years!😮
I think you have a winner there. Keep us updated and have a wonderful day.
Thank you, we will
Thanks very interesting.
When you guys post it always brings a smile to my face
I'm glad to hear it. Should be seeing more flintlock musket videos coming here shortly
Wow that duffel cut is crazy cool. I watch a guy on RUclips that restores Antique furniture. He mostly uses hide glue. It would be cool to reglue that together with hide glue. What a beautiful old musket
Yes sir she sure is I think Garrett's got her glued back together now and he said that the glue was holding up well
Can't wait to actually get a chance to hold this thing
@Real11BangBang lol you will soon. Be safe getting back home
I'm looking forward to seeing how this project evolves, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
As far as I understand, the "3" is the number of the gun in the batch it was produced. Just to get the correct parts back togheter during final assembly.
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Would love to see the cleaning, polishing, and preservation of the bore. I am in the process of conserving a Springfield M1816 Type III made in 1837 at Harper's Ferry that was converted to percussion for the ACW that is in perfect working order. Would love to see the old girl fire again.
Yeah that should be coming up here pretty shortly
Yesterday we saved a similar rifle from being melted down from the Police Station. It has every stamps, signs. It'll go to the Military History Museum.
"an IX" means the 9th year of the French revolutionary calendar and it corresponds to the year which, according to this calendar, started on September 23,1800 and ended on September 22, 1801
Yep, that's it. You nailed it
Congratulations! This is perfect for a Sunday morning. I was actually thinking just yesterday about when you all would post this and went to check your channel to see if it had been released.
The video provides highly informative guidance on preserving the gun, a task I've been wanting to undertake myself in the gentlest manner possible. It's incredibly helpful.
Regarding acquiring a rammer, yesterday, I acquired a Harpers Ferry Charleville Pattern, also known as the 'Model 1795', made in 1816, but unfortunately, it's missing a rammer. Do you know of any way to obtain original rammers? In your video, you mentioned the option of purchasing I would assume a reproduction one from Dixie Gun Works.
Just for information's sake, my Charleville Arsenal built Infantry Musket Model 1766/68 bears the barrel markings 'IIIVX' at or around the same spot as your IX. Interestingly, my "Revolutionary Wars Era 1777" doesn't seem to have such markings in the pictures, but I'll verify when I return to my collection.
Do you have a preferred gun oil for preservation?
What I've been using here lately is a mixture of beeswax and olive oil. and I would say more olive oil than beeswax This should make a very thin and pliable paste which is pretty much invisible when rubbed into the metal
But as far as just standard lubricant oil I use just straight olive oil in my oil can
And as far as wood oil goes I use tung oil about once a year
And as far as buying original ramrods I really have no clue where you would find them I would say that you might check with the rifle shoppe. They're pretty accurate on making reproduction parts
@@Real11BangBangI followed your lead and went with a Dixie Gun Works Reproduction. Thanks for responses!
in the marine world that duffel cut (new term ive never heard) is known as a scarf joint
Yeah, the term duffle cut is actually more of a milsurp term. Basically describing any cut under the barrel band so that the stock could be taken into two pieces and put into a duffel bag coming back from world War II. But yes, I think you're right. This does look like a scarf joint
Good morning Garrett, and (Ethan where ever you are). How do you guys find out about museum sales. Is there a website that you can go to. It would be nice to find a musket that was kept at a museum knowing that there is a possibility it was cared for. Thanks again guys.
I would suggest going ahead and just looking up online antique auctions every now and then you get lucky because this is what I do
Use pearl hide glue from Tools for Working Wood. It is reversible. Modern glue will ruin your day. Sand the duffle with 400 grit. Use the barrel to support the glue up. Good luck. SRP
Good morning.
Howdy!
Oh man that thing is so cool! Just at the beginning of video. Wish I could smell it! 🤥 Too bad RUclips is….(thought crime) Can you tell if vent hole has been enlarged from use or was drilled that size?
The actual diameter is In my books somewhere I had seen it not long before this video was made and now I can't find it for some reason and I have been looking for it like crazy. It says the size of the hole and I can't remember the actual diameter but I do know that it was fairly large. This was mainly due to the French being more concerned with reliability then consistent pressures in their muskets
@@Real11BangBang 😂 I must be half french, I worry about the same. Bonjur Monsuir BangBang. 😂 (forgive me all you Louisiana folks.)
Unfortunately I'm going to be criticizing.
Better lighting. Lights just outside of camera edge, bright on the gun. Not you. I bought some rechargeable divers lights about 3"X4". LED with GoPro connection points. Last about 5 house for $30 on Amazon. Wrist mount, cap clip mount, chest mount. That one is really good for night time having to do something outside.
Camera HD. I have a go pro. I not a photographer. I use these things for measuring existing building for architectural plans to do remodel & additions. So no advice on what is the best camera for you guys because money is an issue. Apple phone AKA "PodCast" seem to have good results but I think Apple is a cult!
However, like me,
As for the addiction to all things guns, proceed in proper era style like you do so well!
I can never get rust to turn to black oxide when boiling. All it does for me is loosen up the rust so it can be cleaned off lightly without ruining any underlying finish.
interesting... are you boiling in distilled water?
@@Real11BangBang quite the opposite... sink water and a dirty pot. Does it make that much of a difference? The impurities can be throwing something off?
well as far as i know thats the only thing we are doing differently so that may be it
I meant to say that should preserve it not Hatchet
Do the roman numeral on inside of stock lock mortis match any of the lock plate parts or lock plate?
Yes barrell and lock
Climate control.
anno 9 musket
Yes, it is
