I know you have been having some rough times Mike, but I just want to let you know that your videos have gotten me through some tough times, and I wish you well in the future. Your knowledge and wisdom should be archived.
Former PA resident here Mike. It takes me back to watch your videos. OK is nice but there is something about the terrain and woods up there. I hope you keep doing what you do sir. Best...
I remember the Palmetto Arms Whitney revolvers my cousin Larry had one probably in the 80s. He pick it up at the log cabin gunshop in lodi Ohio if I recall. Glad to see you feeling better.
Mike, I had spinal fusion a couple of years ago, I know once I was told it was safe to shoot, it was painful at first, but fealt great just to do normal life before surgery things. Hopefully, you find happiness in doing what we are watching, we enjoy the video no matter the content
Dang Mike, you're just cranking out the content lately! It's great seeing so much quality content. you're a generous fellow sharing so much of your time and effort, and it is appreciated.
Yay! Mike B, even in "Mike B Returns," can whip Evil Roy. Add to that the miracle that he can maintain his dapper goatee, mustache, and other aspects of his historically authentic, attractive appearance. It's great to continue seeing you in the GT community.
Good seeing you somewhat on your feet and back on a range. Enjoyed the video, keep um coming and I hope your recovery continues at an excelerated pace!...
Mike, the historical background that you provide really makes your channel unique and something to look forward to. Yes, in central Bucks county schools in the 60s we did learn about Ely Whitney and the cotton gin. Having never seen a cotton field, and having never picked the seeds out of the cotton balls, or had relatives who had done this, it was not too interesting. What if they taught about his gun making adventures? Well, 60 years later you have enlightened me. Greetings from "Mayberry," NC. BTW, being in the South, I feel it blasphemy to turn a S&B into a Whitney, LOL. Kinda like changing the name of Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty and pulling down Silent Sam Confederate statue at UNC-Chapel Hill, LOL. FYI, one the ads during this vid was Barry begging $ for Kamala and Tim.
As usual Mr. Mike, another excellent classroom history lesson. That is the one aspects of your videos not always found on some of the other antique firearms channels. Your in-depth knowledge makes the subject matter more appealing. I'm not certain but if you have not done so in the past, I would like a more in-depth discussion of Elisha K. Root.
There is lots to learn and Mike is there to help you to do it. I have heard of Eli Whitney and I knew about his interchangeable parts for the rifle did I did not know that his son continued and made pistols until now.
I love the historical information and interpretation of the history. Actually the shooting could be done on days when then weather is better and then spliced in later. No sense in getting sick or stressing yourself. Keep up the great work.
Fascinating video, thank you Mike! I bought a revolver in 2015 for $100, which was just advertised as a .36. I didn't know what it was until I got it in hand and did some investigating. I concluded that it was a replica of a Whitney, though it's not marked with Palmetto. I appreciated what you said about the size of the revolver, because that's one of my favorite things about it -- it just fits nicely in the hand.
Hello Duelist1954...I was amazed to learn how many models of Navy Revolvers there were especially the Whitney Navy Revolvers as he was the inventor of the Eli Whitney Cotton Gin and the fact that he came up with a model of The Whitney Revolver heavily used in The American Civil War. And you got to Check out General Patton's Gun Collection.
Really like the video today Mike I was curious about the Whitney and now I know how to make myself one really good stuff Happy to see your back making videos
WOW...........I learned so much new information from this Whitney video Mike. Thank you so much. I had never seen the initial hand turned revolvers before. Keep up the good work. I shot my Uberti .Remington Army at the range yesterday using the .45 Colt conversion cylinder @25 yards. It is the most accurate .45 Colt revolver I own.
Theoretically, Colt's patent should have blocked the Rollin0Whte patent on the "bored through cylinder. Basically because in order for a percussion nipple to be used on the back of a cylinder, it, by necessity, had to be bored through. Of course, the many Faucheaux pepprt boxes and revolvers using pin fire cartridges also required bored through cylinders. But that is just one of my pet peeves over the White patent
Hello Mike, I have a Whitney copy that I picked up at a gun show in 1982 or 83. However it is marked Richland Arms Co., and of course made in Italy. it has 31k serial number. It was very lightly used when I acquired it and I have only fired it once. It meets the description of the Whitney except it has a 7 in. barrel. Do you know how many Richland may have imported?
Thank you for making this video. I have a copy of the Whitney. I bought it new in 1978. While the gun has Italian proof marks there is no makers mark. Is Palmetto the only company that made copies of the Whitney? The gun has Richland Arms stamped on it. I really like the balance and overall feel of this gun even better that my Colt 1851 Navy.
Thanks for another great video... you gonna get me divorced as I spend quite a long time watching and learning in the man cave. I have a question: Could you explain us about your clothing? Some of us don't know anything about period clothing and much less where to buy some, I think it will be a nice touch is you do. Is a lot more interesting to watch people dressed to the weapon's period. Thanks!
Are you done with Duelist Den, the shooting at the range while your talking is very anoying. Still enjoy your videos very much & thank you for making them
Good seeing you somewhat on your feet and back on a range. Enjoyed the video, keep um coming and I hope your recovery continues at an excelerated pace!...
I know you have been having some rough times Mike, but I just want to let you know that your videos have gotten me through some tough times, and I wish you well in the future. Your knowledge and wisdom should be archived.
I second that Mr. Mike!
It’s good to see you back at the range, Mike
Good to see you again, Mike! Keep the great content coming…

Great to see you back in action

Great to see you out and about. Remarkable recovery from your injury! Excellent video as always thank you so much Mike 👍
I had no idea that my Palmetto arms replica was at all rare. Thanks for the info.
Really great to see you on the range Mr. Duelist! Another good history lesson for sure.
Thankyou.
Glad to see you in the field, Mike! Even if a tad soggy!
Good to see you back on the range
Dang Mike, you're just cranking out the content lately! It's great seeing so much quality content. you're a generous fellow sharing so much of your time and effort, and it is appreciated.
I'm glad to see you and your videos coming back Mike.

Another great video, Mike, thank you. There was a lot there I hadn't known.
Great to see you again.
welcome back sir!
I’m very happy to see you back at work. Great new video thanks.

Where have you been? You have been greatly missed!
He fell a month or two back and has been recovering
He only missed one week so far recently.
@tomcurran8470 remember, RUclips doesn't like his kind of content and basically shadow bans a lot of gun related channels from our notifications.
Yet another good video. I love the history that goes with these guns.
Great Video , I've always wondered about this gun ❤
Thanks, blessings and I hope you recovered from being out in the rain.
John W. Hall was actually the guy who really pulled off interchangeable parts. Master Gunsmith at Harper's Ferry Arsenal.

Great info! I admit I had forgotten about the Palmetto offering. 👍👍
good to see you back out shooting and stuff
Great stuff! Can't wait for next! 🤠
Good video Mike, I really enjoyed it. I hope your healing good, I took a fall myself for the first time in my 70 yrs.
Good to see you back at the range Mike. Interesting informative video.
Really like the video today Mike
I was curious about the Whitney and now I know how to make myself one really good stuff
Happy to see your back making videos
Hi Mike,great video love the history of firearms. Thanks for all your hard work and time Sir you are appreciated.🤠🇺🇲
Love your content. You have been missed stay well. 👍
I am watching from Slovakia and it is very interesting information for me .I didn't know - Whitney revolvers. This is new information for me.
Great video, thanks! I liked the conversion to your Switney.
Fantastic detailed history-thank you!
Thank You Mike
Mike I love your videos but maybe in the future consider doing them somewhere than on an active fireing range when you are talking to us.
Great vid as always good to you posting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice video and I may have to make a switney for myself.
Mike, thanks for passing on the knowledge
The Whitney Plant still exist as a museum in Hamden, Ct. Its worth a visit.
WOW...........I learned so much new information from this Whitney video Mike. Thank you so much.
I had never seen the initial hand turned revolvers before. Keep up the good work. I shot my Uberti .Remington Army at the range yesterday using the .45 Colt conversion cylinder @25 yards. It is the most accurate .45 Colt revolver I own.
Excellent!
Superb vid Mike! Thanks
Great history of this revolver
A Angel got it's wings.
Thanks for the video.
Very informative. Thanks.
Great video!
Interesting, thanks Mike
Finally got to my local range with my pietta replica 1858 .36 cal got to shoot 4 cylinders was fun ..
Nice one
Good morning brother from Syracuse NY
Hi Earl!
Uberti. Pietta are you watching this.
Cheers From California Mike 😎
Interesting as usual, thank you, atb

Beautiful Pistol - Great Video ! As Always!
My one LGS I deal with currently has a blued old Ruger Army (which was inspired by the Whitney) is up for grabs can’t remember how much sorry
Yes!
Why Pietta hasn't done a Whitney on their Spiller & Burr tooling escapes me.
With the Federal army in desperate need of army caliber revolvers, I always wondered why Whitney didn’t make them.
I wish Pietta would make a British Kerr revolver …
Me too!
How durable are brass fram3s
Hello Mike, I have a Whitney copy that I picked up at a gun show in 1982 or 83. However it is marked Richland Arms Co., and of course made in Italy. it has 31k serial number. It was very lightly used when I acquired it and I have only fired it once. It meets the description of the Whitney except it has a 7 in. barrel. Do you know how many Richland may have imported?
Sorry, but I don’t know.
Thanks Mike, how come you aren't down at the Den?
Cool man cool
Have you tried the >> Pietta 1858 Remington in 36 cal.?
Are you ever going back on your own shooting range to shoot?
I’m just not steady enough on my feet to be safe at Duelists Den. Maybe someday, when I fully recover from the nerve damage…
Thank you for making this video. I have a copy of the Whitney. I bought it new in 1978. While the gun has Italian proof marks there is no makers mark. Is Palmetto the only company that made copies of the Whitney? The gun has Richland Arms stamped on it. I really like the balance and overall feel of this gun even better that my Colt 1851 Navy.
Yes. Palmetto made it and Richland imported it
Do you think these are the revolvers that the "Two Gun Kid used in the Magnificent Seven remake?
Here I thought the Rodgers Spencer revolver was the best revolver.
Just missed a Palmetto Whitney on gun broker.
Thanks for another great video... you gonna get me divorced as I spend quite a long time watching and learning in the man cave. I have a question: Could you explain us about your clothing? Some of us don't know anything about period clothing and much less where to buy some, I think it will be a nice touch is you do.

Wow and I picked up a Whitney at a show for less than 300
Great score!
It's an armsport with a 7" barrel, that threads all the way to the face of the cylinder.
👍👍
Love you videos.....but what are you eating!!!lol
Throat lozenge. I had a cold.
@@duelist1954 lol....ya that's what I thought!
I have 2 of the Whitney 36 cal revolvers that are reproduction
.36 is a .375 Cal
Did these have the habit of fouling easily. Like the Remingtons did.
Not one of the best . It was the best revolver .
Are you done with Duelist Den, the shooting at the range while your talking is very anoying. Still enjoy your videos very much & thank you for making them
At the moment I haven't recovered enough to be safe at Duelist's Den.
@@duelist1954 well hope you keep getting better, because we all enjoy your videos & the information & history in your videos thank you so much
Do you HAVE to chew on candy while making a video?
Sorry, it was a throat lozenge. I had a bit of a cold when I filmed it.
Mike, love your vidioes, but for heavans sake , you`re talking and chomping on something in your mouth !
where are your manors man? thats awful
Sorry. It was a throat lozenge. I had a cold.
Good seeing you somewhat on your feet and back on a range. Enjoyed the video, keep um coming and I hope your recovery continues at an excelerated pace!...
Great video!
