      Hi Robert, Being that short, like a big pistol, it was a little unsettling shooting it in close proximity to ones face.

    Another great video Doc. I just received my 8 bore pinfire rifle. Waiting on some materials to make the cases, and a mold for the bullet to arrive. I'll post a video when it's shooting again.

      Hi Mike, Glad you came along on the shoot. Wow! the 8 bore pinfire sounds grand. Best of luck on the ammo build. One of the favorite cartridges in my collection is an 8 bore "Cement Gun" round used for cleaning out furnaces and kilns. Regards....Doc

    Спасибо за отличное видео редкого сейчас образца оружия 😁👍
    Это кавалерийский штуцер (для кирасиров, гусаров и т.д.) то есть для тех, которые в отличии от драгунов стреляли не спешиваясь, прямо с лошади, их возили в седельных кобурах. Именно поэтому он и нарезной.
    У драгунов для стрельбы с лошади был свой специфический тип ружья - "драгона" или "тромблон", стрелял дробью, длиной был такой-же, но гладкоствольный и с раструбом, чтобы удобнее было заряжать сидя на лошади, а спешиваясь они стреляли с обычных карабинов нормальной длины.

    What a handy little carbine. I like the simple but effective hammer block. The smurking powder gremlin face took a good eye and imagination to see. Were your tubes as sure fire as they seemed off camera. I think CapandBall was the only other tube lock shooter I've seen. Thanks for the effort to bring this one back to life. Gp

    • @dr.durellshepard398
      @dr.durellshepard398  5 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Gp, What a nasty little weapon. Can you imagine being in a serious conflict and having a brace of them suspended on your saddle ? The primer tubes worked very well, all I made went off, only one or two needed another wack. Cap & ball has a great channel and this is a gun of his homeland, so he knows them inside and out. The guns of Louis Tiege and Henry Delvigne, the Kammer-buchse, Jagerstutzen, and kammer-louder, all the early arms of the Hapsburg's, even the schpiz-kooger !!! This gun hung on the wall for years, so it was time to experience it. Best regards....Doc

    GREAT VID. Sad to say tho, it kinda shows why this method/style never hit the big time, so to speak. Thank you tho, I've learned a bit, which I do appreciate. EDITED: After giving this some more thought, I can see where this could have been a really neat cavalry carbine, but that priming system, while mounted, possibly under fire...ugh. I think I'd go with the Joslyn or a Burnside myself, but I'm just an old cowboy, what do I know? But thanks again for the vid.

    • @dr.durellshepard398
      @dr.durellshepard398  5 месяцев назад

      Hello, and thanks for the comment. I guess this system was fine in its day compared to the flintlock which it was trying to replace, but as you say, in a few years the Joslyn would use a totally contained cartridge. Regards...Doc

    In your video at about 2:45 there are what look like many rifling grooves, at the breech at least. What's the story there?

    • @dr.durellshepard398
      @dr.durellshepard398  5 месяцев назад

      Hello Sir, I have pondered that myself, and can't make sense of it in its present configuration. I suspect it is the coarse acme thread that holds the breech plug in place, but there is no need to have it extend that far into the chamber. I further conjecture that this breech plug may have been of the system Delvigne and was removed and cut back flush to its present location. Good question. Best regards.....Doc
