Proudly made in the City of New Haven, Ct.

Thanks for producing this! My grandfather led the UPCC Concert Band in Cumberland and then Superior from 1926-1935

Stumbled across this place years ago. It was like stepping back in time going in the dugout and looking thru a very old Sears catalog in the old store. They had a black smith area and an old freight wagon and much more. Even waded into the Green River with my fishing pole. I am going to order the book.

Love the Varley Family!

General Sherman was given the mission also to kill off buffalo to force Indians into starvation and reservations. Shameful.

I used to live in miles city Mt. never heard this story. Very interesting, Thanks for sharing!

NO! It was not the Sharps or the Remington rolling block rifle that was the reason for the near extinction of the bison! It was the human! It would have been done with a muzzle loading flint lock rifle! Just remember this when someone says: "I caught my limit of fish!" So Sad.........

Thanks for the information

I think u got this wrong a little bit? The 32.20 was a rifle cartridge before it was ever a pistol cartridge!

cool

Thank you for the tour today. "So " I asked " It al started with Major Powell huh?" "Not exactly " you replied. You're a great narrator

Hi,just an FYI THE GRASS STRIP AnD TREES WERE PLANTED BY COUNTY COMMISSIONER ARTHUR, Cheesy Chaussart. My father.

Yo quiero uno. Donde lo puedo comprar...???

The army would burn large sections of prairie in a spread out line of troopers dragging bales of grass on fire behind them with a strong crosswind. they would burn a swath 10 or 20 miles long. I always thought this was a cruel way a lot of the herds died off.

I bought a model 1892, although made by Miroku/ Winchester. Chambered in 44-40 , had a large loop lever made to resemble Lucas McCain's rifle on the TV western show "The Rifleman". Also bought an 1873 chambered in 44-40 but with a 26 inch octagon barrel.

.45 Colt. Don't call it a LONG Colt.

At one point the Sharps company offered a 25 pound heavy Octagon barrel! Imagine lugging around a rifle that complete would weigh upwards of 30 pounds!

Thanks for sharing this revolver's history! There was a smaller remington-beales "pocket" percussion revolver that was available originally as a percussion revolver, I recall that it was chambered for .31 caliber, and a couple of years later there were rim-fire conversions available so it could take .32 caliber rim-fire cartridges. I could be mistaken about the bore size, and it may have been .36 cal. percussion, later converted to .38 rim-fire.

Dick, nice job on a classic Winchester! A very accurate summary.

Have an original 1858 remington that was part of stage coach collection, Savage Mn. As well as an untold few replica's. Was shocked 2 days ago, opened a bureau drawer looking for thing thought I'd left in it. Plesant suprise to find brand new in box Pieta 1858 Remington I had forgotten I'd bought at the gun show! Can't even remember what i paid for it.(musta been a deal tho)

I recently acquired an 86 made in 1897 in 45-90 with excellent wood and barrel .I plan to hunt with it this year for moose.

Dick, excellent video about a classic Winchester! I'm impressed with your knowledge and skillful presentation. Well done. Bonus points because you had the correct pronunciation of Frank Hamer last name.

The only picture of a black woman holding a firearm in the Old West is Stagecoach Mary with her 1876 carbine.

The Dragoon also went with a locking loading lever. The Walker was known to have this lever inadvertently drop sometimes when fired. The powder charge was lowered, too, to prevent the risk of a burst cylinder...seems like 60gr was a bit too much.

Let's see an explanation of how it works.

I read, in Revolvers Of The Civil War, that their is no documentation cap and ball revolvers were reloaded in the field with spare cylinders.

it s a beatiful gun i have a reproduction uberti in 5095 cool gun tums upp

Hi from Montbéliard in France were he was born...

As a historical discussion, this is very informative. Thanks.

I have a book on Billy the Kid and it features pictures of his Colt Thunderer but says it was a 44 caliber. So, was his gun a modified 41 or did he actually have a later model of the Thunderer? Could a 41 even be modified to use 44 caliber ammo ?

Very good information on the 1873 Winchester, one of the only firearms to have a movie named for it, starring Jimmy Stewart.

Great story about George Parrott! The Remington 1858 is one of my favorite cap and ball revolvers. The Wyoming State Museum has one that was a battlefield pickup at the site of 1874 Bates battle.

Was never offered in 45/90. Only in 45/75, 45/60, 40/60, 50/95.

I have an old "rusted a tad " Model 1876 ..45-60 .

But...it was John Wayne in the original True Grit that uttered, "Well that's a Colt Dragoon" in his classic drawl.

Good job Mr Blust

The guns were not responsible for killing anything. The people using them were responsible. The gun is a tool that is not capable of doing anything by itself. It is ignorant to say a gun killed anything because it can only be the person using the gun that did the killing. The correct way to word it would be; the Sharps and to a lesser extent the Remington rolling block rifle made it easier for hunters to bring to near extinction an entire animal species. Sorry but I'm sick and tire of inanimate objects being held responsible for human activity. You can build a house with a hammer and you can take one down with the same hammer. Throw that hammer on the ground and tell it to build a house and it will just sit there on the ground.

I am always fascinated by rock art and saddened when it is vandalized.
