@@davidadams6855 great guns..under estimated for sure. They shoot with the best of them

@@thetexasrat the plastic container would melt in event of fire..no combustion....as far as static...the static wouldnt ignite powder from outside? If its sealed. If metal contanier is super heated in an event of fire...it becomes a chamber that builds pressure...therefore Combustion under heat/pressure...plastic wouldnt allow pressure to built for combustion..would just melt

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 I get the fire thing, it is the static I do not understand. Apparently they are prioritizing fire explosion hazards over static electricity causing squib loads and double charges so it would seem to me. I do know that the plastic lid will blow right off easily to vent off gasses where the metal lid would not. Just seems as if less static would build up on metal than as with plastics. But the plastic inducing the powder with static electricity helps it bridge in powder measurers. Powder measures now a days also have plastic hoppers which induce static electricity even further into the gun powder whereby asperating the issue. Not to mention the plastic down spouts are laden with static electricity to help catch the already charged powders, hence attributing in the cause of squib loads in one case and a double charge in the next. The powder now a days is coming in contact with far too much plastic just before and during the charging phase of reloading, as far as safety goes, in my opinion.

@thetexasrat my measures are all brass...not plastic..i do not run black powder through a loader ..its weighed by volumetric measure.

@thetexasrat static causing squibs? And double charges....im not sure that would do that...rather human error.? Tins Acted as chambers and risk of explosions...if a fire broke out...bit would essentially explode...plastic container would melt and powder simply would burn off....big fizzle\poof.. Not sure how else to describe it.

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 I personally haven't gotten around to black powders yet. I was speaking of smokeless. I wonder why they do not use brass with smokeless as it would be far safer as far as eliminating static electricity.

@@debkerslake8711 appreciate your comments!

@@debkerslake8711 your from England. Very nice to have English followers. Please message and chat anytime.

@@6point5x55 same to you and yours!

@@theeasternhunter562 always enjoy your videos also. We should do a live Stream some day

@@ricksworlddereaux2397 this gunwas built 1908 originally it was reworked in 1972 and re sleeved and re proofed to 3"...this was imported from europe within last yr..... Im in east coast Canada I bought this only within last month

@@ricksworlddereaux2397 id have to say ive never seen an 18g cartridge gun. I own a percussion 18g gun, 90% of the guns intersurplus imported were 12 gauge.

@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 Yes they all produced for the US,and latin American markets,its the biggest Markets for any Gunproducer,.or they source out,because European Smal Arms and Machinery,Cars are supiriour to US ones..🫡🇪🇺🇺🇸

@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 It look too new,for a 115year..piece..and screws also ....its max 50 years old..plasticbutstocks not existed in 1910..🤣🤣🤣and if its altered it not a Antique anymore...

@ricksworlddereaux2397 its a silvers pad.....and bro ...go look at my army & navy video. Damascus.... 130 plus yr old As gd ad cond or better , im.not sure what your getting at? The proof marks certainly tell age.. It started as a 2.5" chambered 12 gauge but was re chambered to 3" and re proofed in 1972 in england. That doesn't change factor the gun was built in 1908?

Not sure myself joe

@@A.R.American1 same to u

You to Joseph

Professional Vidya maker 🙃

@Gungeek not sur what happened

@@MegaBait1616 last powder i seen at gunshow was sheutzen, and swiss, was a gent with some olde einsford and it was around 60$/lb, i paid 50 dollars for 1 lbs 2f...not 1 can of pyrodex present

Thanks

i was thinking about that also , got lots of odd ball shells with no box.

@@Gungeek i have paper and plastic inperials

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 keep it the same brand ;)

I dont have those type

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 i just meant to keep the ammo the same brand.

Hello my buddy , hoping weather clears some to try

@@pubglover-mc1dhnot sure what you mean

@@pubglover-mc1dh what are you asking? Im not understanding

@@Gungeek ordering 1 tomorrow. English gun

@@Gungeek get hold of my messenger ill show you couple i narrowed down to

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 well you better decide 🙂

@Gungeek kind of wanting a 16g but... The english 12s are nice for the $$

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 i would get a baikal 16ga double

@@kenlansing1216 i was misinformed about some markings however a viewer on shotgunworld forum from France let me in on some history on it. Apparently they were ex quality guns various grades. This 1 falls on the middle grades. Quite happy with it.

@@leeprimeroessler3277 i enjoy it alot. Ive hunted with it and clay targets.recently i bought a model 610 husqvarna also. SxS 12g.

@@georgehogeboom799 sounds like a wedge fastened system...the spring may be seized against the lump and might need a little persuasion.however older wood can crack easily and id recommend spray some PB blaster or penetrant and let soak under forend. Then with long narrow flat screwdriver Go between center of barrel ribs and the top of forend wood and lightly pry and see if it pops off...there will be some resistance do not be alarmed as its wedged in the lump on barrels.. Let me know how you fair out.

Thanks Rod, worked like a charm. Its a 16 ga, and based on your video seems to be in shootable shape reasonably well cared with wear similar wear. Next step decipher the marks. Thanks for great video and advice. ..G

@@georgehogeboom799 your welcome, if i seen marks i could decipher them. Maybe post pics

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 tried to send link to pics, but utube musthave censored them. How do you figure out chamber length? Thanks, G

@@georgehogeboom799 they were all 2.5 " chambers as far as i know. Chamber gauges will tell the story though..a gunsmith should be able to do that for you. I shoot 2.5" black powder or equivalent loads. ( pyrodex ) or even Loose 777. Propellant...seems work fine . fiber wads and lead shot only i use.

@@LEO_BONFIETTI i do not know what your asking

@@Kbfan43 id like to chat further on it if a way to contact you.

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 let me know when you have my email I will delete it off here

not sure if he has brass shell, just paper and plastic.

@@thomasherndon7410 i dont have access to any brass . but as Gungeek has said i do use paper and plastic

@@Gungeek his claims and his use of that ammo could of been bad outcome

@@rodsvintagesxschannel.3095 and his comments are filled with people saying just that

@@kenlansing1216 no problem , glad u enjoyed

I traded it off to a friend he enjoys it. I stil own several sxs

🤣

Zoom out? Why? I use gd quality video for a reason?

Its a great old gun. Still takes birds and rabbits!

Ive had the chambers opened on it. To 2 3/4" fired slug...buck..and bird loads no issues. Im sure ive had 500 rounds through it since. As far as 9000 psi. Thats not really low pressure..as my loads using hi skor 700X powder produce 6500/7500 psi. Ive fired lots of federal top gun And winchester universals in it.. Absolutely no issues. The gun is as tight as it was when i bought it . In Canada..I cannot find any RST or Polywad loads.. The only 2.5" commercial loads we see are challenger brand and also the aguila mini slugs and mini shotshells. However at a premium price of 45$/ 25 rounds.....

Its goin bud

Your welcome

It helps looking for bargains or buying old stock reloading stuff.most times old powder still gd and ammo..if stored well.

Hope all is well Joe

They can be here too Joe....just need watch what your buyin
