Few ideas: - Top 5 guns with exotic/rare calibers - Top 5 Sniper rifles - Top 5 modern guns that will become a collector/antique - Top 5 Assassins guns - Top 5 "Muskets" (Black Powder rifles) - Top 5 guns that should have never been released
I smiled when I saw the Schmidt Ruben that was my first rifle I owned back in 1971. I bought it for $25 at a police auction. Two things you will never see again.
The Beaumont was a single shot designed and manufactured in 1871 BUT was converted in 1888 to take the Vitali 4 round box magazine so It's more accurate to say its late 1880's tech not early 1870's tech.
To be considered antique it has to be made PRE 1899 if you got a gun manufactured December 31 1898 it's an antique and doesn't need paperwork if you have the same exact gun manufactured the next day it has to have a back ground for purchase and by the ATF definition is an antique firearm
Can you chop down the barrel and stock of a pre 1899 antique? Would an 1897 'potato digger’ machine gun count as an antique since it was made before 1899?

I'd love to get myself a Dutch Beaumont over the trapdoor. Then again, I am of Dutch heritage. Darn it, watching these guys is expensive. I already bought and restored a Martini Henry after their video on the subject, let alone some of the modern stuff. (With that said, keep it going guys.)
Eric, I think we share the same love for old guns. GREAT collection! If I had another life to live over I'd start out collecting like you have - and I STILL would come up short. :) thanks for sharing your wonderful collection. Thank you very much!
So excited for rare mosins. I've got 7 rare mosins that of course I paid way less than what they're actually worth because the sellers didn't know the markings or history of them... $50 for an original 1891 dragoon Cossack for example
So glad the Rolling Block was included. I've been obsessed with them recently and they don't get much love in movies and tv shows, despite the fact that they were the second most popular buffalo rifle and their strong presence in Creedmoor matches.
I had a dream where I was captain of the royal guard for a monarch and the weapons issued to the guard were ridiculously powerful bolt action rifles and being captain of the royal guard I got a very beautiful rifle that was all black with golden vines and golden leaves leading towards the front of the barrel
4:55 most 1889's take the 7.5x55 cartridge just fine. it's true they cant take the pressure but they most certainly will chamber them more often than not.
Loved the vid!!! I am surprised that you didn't show a Mosin Nagant model 91. Can't wait for the video on the Mosins. Thanks again for the great vids!!!
Superb ! These are wonderful pieces of history . Seeing the progression of technologies throughout the years is so cool. Those are chambered in some odd calibers, which is quite unusual, yet very interesting. Great work out there guys.
Guys I realy love your videos please never stop. The only complaint I have is the air quotes. It is very distracting when I am trying to soak up all the good info you guys are putting out.
I like all the "5 guns" you guys do. most of them have at least 1 I own. i.e. trapdoor here. That said what makes these videos work so well is that you are having fun making them. "That ain't workin!"
I want to thank you guys for another great video. Years ago I discovered the joy of collecting and shooting antique rifles. I have a good collection of modern rifles as well but I find it much more interesting to shoot the old black powder cartridge rifles. Many years ago I was browsing the used guns at my local gun shop and I spotted a Winchester model 1885 high wall in 45-90. They were very proud of it and the price reflected that pride, but after a couple years of seeing it in the display case I decided to take a look. It was an 1893 built model 1885 high wall in 45-90 with the 30" #3 weight barrel. It had a very nice plumb brown patina and the action was still tight and in good working order.. It did have some pitting in the barrel but nothing substantial. I made a decision to buy this rifle and since they had it for quite a while they were willing to deal a little. I believe I got it for $2300, which is quite pricey but It was and is " the real deal". I remember thinking to myself that for that kind of money that thing better shoot reasonably well, especially considering that the bore had some pitting. I took it to a friend who is a gunsmith and specializes in black powder antiques and whom I have know almost my entire life. He slugged the bore, did a chamber cast and declared it not only safe to shoot, but should shoot very well. I shopped around and got the components to load the ammo for it and tried it out. It did in fact shoot very well which made me feel better about the price I had paid for it. The tang was factory drilled and tapped for Vernier sights, it even still had the original block off screws in place. I purchased a reasonably good quality Vernier rear sight and spirit globe front sight. My Dad and I went to the hunting property that we have, were we also have our own 300 yard range. I had loaded a large batch of 45-90 using new star cases, 85 grains of a good quality FFg powder (real black powder not the fake stuff), vegitable fiber wads and 405 grain laser cast bullets sized at .459. To my great surprise that rifle was throwing the most beautiful one hole clover leaf groups at 200 yards. I fired around 40 rounds through it and every group was all shots touching, overlapped by half or better. I later tried at 300 yards with the same results. That thing will stack big chunks of lead right on top of each other at 300 yards all day long, or as long as your shouder will hold out. I have had this rifle for close to 20 years and it is still one of my favorite rifles in my collection. I very much enjoy taking it to the range and seeing the look on the person next to me look in awe at the one hole group centered on the target, then look at their own 6-10" group that they fired from their scoped modern rifle. Needless to say, I no longer have a problem with what I paid for this rifle, I jus wonder how much better could it have possibly shot when it was new. I wanted to share this story with you and to let you know that I enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm for not only just guns in general, but the antique and historical guns that are still out there and will still shoot very well. Thanks again guys and keep the videos coming.
I load cast, powder coated rounds for my Swiss rifles in 7.5x55. I have two 1889's and I can use the same cast loads I use in the other rifles as long as I don't use the K31 specific sizing die. I don't have to trim the brass any differently than I do for the other rifles. It works perfectly. The loads are light enough already that they are completely safe in the 1889. So, if you're already loading for the other Swiss rifles and using mild cast loads, chances are they will chamber fine and be safe in the 1889. I also reload my GP-11 brass, I just made a setup to hydraulically decap them using a shank from a very long bolt. I got one just slightly larger than the neck diameter and "turned it down" with sandpaper while it was chucked in a drill until it fit snug in the neck of the brass. I fill the case with water and give it a smack...primer comes right out. You can also use some kind of a homemade tool like a nail punch, hold the brass in the sizing die upside-down in your press, and smack the punch into the primer at an angle and pry it right out. It's really easy brass to deprime, unlike some of the other military brass that has very stubborn primers.
I found my 43 Spanish rolling block on armslist, I had it shipped to my house. Found ammo from Aardvark in Florida. Just bought a bayonet for a Martini rifle at an estate sale.
Cool video! I got the vibe from the intro you were burring the definition of Curio and Relic with Antique. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought anything manufactured prior to 1899 was accepted as antique.
Hey guys. These videos are some of the best that I have ever seen. If you guys get the chance, you should do the top 5 guns that never came to be. Such as the XM8 for example.
8:12 I bought one under the impression that it was an old French Lebel rifle. got it for $159 out the door. Went home, looked up the stampings and found identical rifles and it turns out that it is a Dutch Beaumont! I am still confused on what the caliber is, I have seen a few different ones although Eric said that the caliber is 11x52 rimmed. Thing is, I measured the bore and I'm getting 11mm, I have seen people online talking about 11.3 mm and I'm not 100% sure what that is about. If anyone has ANY information on the rifle then please let me know! It is serial number 759 from 1876, and the butt plate says 1891, which I'm assuming is the conversion date since these were once just single shot rifles.
I have a Springfield trap door that came from a church color guard in Oklahoma it was sighted in at 400 yards I look it up an it was used by the Oklahoma National Guard nice shooter easy to reload
I've got 4 of the real classics of all time that I treasure 1. 1877 Martini-Henry MK II 2. 1883 Springfield Trapdoor 3. 1893 Mauser 7mm 4. 1898 Krag Jorgenson And my next addition soon will be a 1885 Remington-Lee in 45-70
As a Dutch guy it is hardly a guess wich one i think is the most interesting too me... Those Beamonts were still used by some ¨2nd line¨ and make shift units in 1940.
Five east Asian firearms would be interesting. Also about the mosins I would think people are trying to take advantage of prepper type individuals. The mosin is almost the fall back rifle when everyone says if you need a firearm that is solid but not a lot of money buy a mosin. People stock up on mosins. Others take advantage of that. Just a thought.
My favorite will definitely be the Swedish mauser M96, in caliber 6.5x55. Exceptional Swedish quality, and in a caliber that if any ammo has passed the test of time, and is still going strong! The Swedish mausers is also known for their absolutely amazing precision, even after 120+ years! And they are strong enough to cope with modern ammo. My choice for sure :-) Even though I am from Denmark ;-)
necked down rifle rounds were also created to prevent, or reduce, the amount of black powder fouling blowing back into the action when fired. BP fouling can lock up the action of a repeater pretty damn quick.
I think Mike Bellevue may have a video on loads for the Snyder. His channel is Duelist1954 and he is the black powder editor for Guns of the Old West magazine.
Good video guys. Ok 5 guns that won or lost wars. Or maybe 5 guns that were made famous or infamous by war (the M1 and AK come to mind) thanks keep it up!
The classification on Antique firearms in the UK is somewhat similar. You can have one delivered straight to your door without a license or any background checks as long as it's deemed to be chambered in an obsolete caliber, like the Shmidt rubin for example.
The Peabody design made by Providence Tool co. is the ORIGINAL Martini. Swiss jerk named Martini didn't mind patent infringement. The rifle won the military trial in late 1860's but the Trapdoor was adopted even though it came in 3rd. Mine is a Massachusetts militia rifle in .43 Spanish with the rack tag. I also have a patent infringement Martini Henery. Peabody in .43 Spanish was much more accurate.
Im am Dutch and i never saw that (Beaumont) rifle before in my life...I find it very very interesting !! And for the 577 carbine...I have a Enfield 1870 snider reload mechanism...same as in this vid....in excellent condition! for 600 euros. latlely I also bought a 1908 Husqvarna .16 cal double barrel shotgun wich is also in a excellent state! Nise to see this vid come buy...I always like your vids...there is a lot of info in them...specialy the Dutch rifle wich i never even heared of. looking in to it! Thanks Big Big thumps up for this vid! Beaumontgeweer..dutch name i just looked it up. :D
I know this is old thread, but I have a Beaumont, but not like the one you talked about. Mine is short, almost like a Carbine, with a metal curved butt plate. Date shows 1885. No impression on the side of the stock. Rough Shape though, missing the site.
If im not mistaken i think the last rolling blocks went to the french in WW1 chambered in 8mm Lebel for rear echelon troops to have a good rifle freeing up bolt actions to go up to the front

That'd be a cool one!
They could collaborate with Ian from Forgotten Weapons on that. It'd be awesome!
^^ Hell yes we need to make this happen. Off to FW right now....
Great idea!!!
there are a lot of amazing stories to read lol
I really enjoy these old military rifle videos. Your enthusiasm for these guns is contagious, and for good reason...They are great!
What I find interesting is that the 1921 Thompson sub-machine Gun is now over a Century old.
Does the ATF have an opinion on that?
Didn't they make some martini - henry rifles in .303 brit? I think they were mk3 or mk4. Might be easier to get ammo for those and load it light.
The Henry company now is not the same as the one that made Henry rifles in the 1800s.
Thank you captain obvious.

Hey, I cant seem to find your reloading series on the Martini-Henry cartridge. Where can I find that?
i was waiting for this top 5 for a long time, i'm a fan of these classic rifles.
Thank you very much

Really great video guys, one of my fave Top 5's, thanks!
Should've included a Winchester for the "wild card slot" because they are the premier antique (all models would work).
An unmentioned factor driving the cost of the Trapdoor up is finding one that hasn't been bubba'd at some point in its life is fairly difficult.
I love the look at the rolling block. So, simple and so elegant weapon
So glad the Rolling Block was included. I've been obsessed with them recently and they don't get much love in movies and tv shows, despite the fact that they were the second most popular buffalo rifle and their strong presence in Creedmoor matches.

The statement at 15:50 is incorrect.
Henry repeating arms is NOT the same Henry company of the 1800's.

Ian at forgotten weapons has a video where he looks at it, and shoots a round or two. Not really a review though.
I have a Springfield trap door that came from a church color guard in Oklahoma it was sighted in at 400 yards I look it up an it was used by the Oklahoma National Guard nice shooter easy to reload

Electors and I believe extractors are now being reproduced for the Dutch Beaumont Vitali. Jack's First is the company.
The French had rolling blocks made for rear echelon troops in WWI :D
Do any of the accept Glock mags?
It's actually 'PRE' 1899. So if it was made after January 1st, 1899 it is still regulated as a firearm.
What's the marking on the stock of the Remington Rollingblock?
I recently purchased an 1874 Gras cavalry carbine, waiting for it to come home.
France used the Remington rolling block too. Chambered in 8mm Lebel.
Good video guys. Ok 5 guns that won or lost wars. Or maybe 5 guns that were made famous or infamous by war (the M1 and AK come to mind) thanks keep it up!

Where's a good place to buy a garand or Lee Enfield without doing the CMP?
Nine air quotes, but a great video! Thank you!
It's now Jan 2 2022. Go to IMA and you can pretty much double the prices mentioned in this video. Damn.
I know this is old thread, but I have a Beaumont, but not like the one you talked about. Mine is short, almost like a Carbine, with a metal curved butt plate. Date shows 1885. No impression on the side of the stock. Rough Shape though, missing the site.
Eric, whats the uziesque rifle by your head???
If im not mistaken i think the last rolling blocks went to the french in WW1 chambered in 8mm Lebel for rear echelon troops to have a good rifle freeing up bolt actions to go up to the front
What shortcoming are they talking about the rifles.... They were the best in their time ..
wait do you have to go through a ffl dealer to get a martini Henry rifle?
I have a Vetterli-Vitali Model 1870-87. That was my great grandfathers, he was from Sicily
Have you guys done a video on the Mag-7 on the back wall?
Can I use 11.15x60 dies to load 43 beaumont?
