My family nick named me ram rod because I shot my ram rod not once but two times at deer before!!!! Lol now the joke at Christmas is about everyone in the club buys me a ram rod for my Secret Santa gift lol
Thats great. Always fun and good times especially with black powder thays the 1st time i have not rammed one down if its not edited out did not look like it. Hard running a camera and all the rest then cutting my finger lol. Makes for good times. Thanks for the comments
I absolutely love smallbores. I once had a .32 Crockett type. I sold it because it wasn't a flintlock. Wish I hadn't done that. I'd have been better off just putting a flint lock on it. Nice rifle you got there.
I put a 209 conversion kit on my.32 ( haven't tried it yet ) . I need a bore brush and patch jag ( need a ramrod for them too , the ramrod that came with the gun isn't drilled out to accept them ) . Any idea where I can get them ?
I have been shooting BP sence the 70s and someone back then told me how to lube my patches beforehand. I have carried a tin with my patches ready to go every sense. Can shoot all day and maybe not have to clean the bore till I go home.
Happy Birthday Red Eagle, loved Your video, but couldn’t hardly hear You on my tablet. I too love traditional black powder. Keep them coming, hope to view many more vids in the future.
Thanks Roy for the Bday wishes. I have another video i have to put together hopefully tonight. I love the traditional guns finding a successful combo to make everything go well is half the fun and half the frustration. I hear you on the audio. Its just like black powder guns , when i think i have it right the wind comes up and starts screwing with me lol. I attempted to get the audio as loud as i could post production , i edit in imovie and put all volume at 400% i believe the problem is that on the sony i have ( amazing built in mics for recording music or other types of movie work, super sensitive) the volume was down on the mic itself due to the wind noise, the down range camera was a hero 6 and it recorded all the audio of the uprange lol. When trying to edit this down on the computer my speakers allow it to be loud enough but i tried to play it on my phone and it is quiet. I need to get an external mic or figure out how to get better volume without the wind noise. I am going to see if i can watch some audio help videos to get a more consistent sound. Thanks for watching and the wishes.
I've ordered me one too in flintlock from Deer Creek. I ordered the lubes from Amazon last week but the bottle says "black powder gun bore cleaner " ? It says it is highly flammable and it is white liquid similar to ballistol/water mix. The directions on Amazon says it is for patch lubes as well but the bottle mentions nothing to that affect? Did they mess my order up you think?
Cool on the flinter, I want to get one but funds are tight at the moment so fun stuff has too wait. If it is the hoppes lube says bore and lube you are good to go, if whatever you ordered is not hoppes but in description says lube. Fire away, I presoak a bunch in a container pill containers work best to prevent drying out. The nice thing about hoppes or any lude/solvent is it does not interfere with powder so you should be good to go. The hoppes is a bit whitish
Can you find some 36 caliber conical bullets I'm just curious because that would be an excellent little squirrel gun and if you're living out on a farm and you've got a varmint that's tearing up everything that is the perfect gun for environments and it's the same caliber that wild Bill Hickok used and a cap and ball revolver taking care of Bill Tutt but I'll tell you this that is a sweet little rifle
I've looked the only conical I see is for the bp pistols but they are 375 not 360 so not sure where to get a mold made for one. I agree would be down right awesome to get a conical 36
I hope the the original author of this video can receive these messages still. My question is or for anyone else who might know the answer to my question is, what size CAPS or number should I use for my 36 Cal Italian rifle I have all the other information for my rifle except the caps. Thank you very much
@jamesvasquez6280 cap size on Italians is usually number 11 , rws 1075 work as well. Any number 11 should work , Italian nipples are metric and if you can't find the proper size you can switch out nipples easily to a different one just order the metric thread pattern and your good to go
That lube is great for the range. You can literally shoot all day without ever having to clean. Not great for hunting because it is a wet lube. Another great range lube us Mr Flintlock. You can shoot all day with that without cleaning as well but it lacks the rust preventative that the Hoppes has.
I have tried lots , and I find the hopes work just fine up here minus 20-30 is usually our worst but during hunting season we usually don't get below zero so I have not really had an issue. But appreciate the tip of Mr flintlock
That is some awesome offhand shooting! I clean with the water method too. What do you oil with afterwards for long-term storage? I tried 100% ballistol but it doesn't do well and I tried bore butter. The bore butter does a good job, but I have to wipe it out really well before shooting. But we have to wipe out anything we use. But, I will be buying some of the Hope's bp lube to try on my patches and storage. Thanks for the tip!
Sorry for the late response comments dont always appear in notifications sorry. Hot water then let dry i run a patch or 2 of hoppes black powder solvent and bore lube down it for longer storage I will do bore butter coated patch , then just swab with one or 2 clean dry patches before shooting for rust prevention. I use a high quality machine oil on nipples and frizzens as well as other parts. During rainy or snowy conditions I use rig plus p or rig grease lightly on the metal. Another old timer showed me how to use plain high quality cars wax on all external surfaces to prevent rust, works well too. I find the hoppes works great for patch lube and cleaning but for rust prevention some bore butter for long term. If short term just clean and use the hoppes and a little machine oil or even wd 40 works well. Hope that helps.
Yea I deal with USA Fox and Furs also. Good company. I’m a trapper also. I’ve been into muzzleloading since the Bicentennial. My favorite way to hunt..
That lube is doing a great job of fouling mitigation. That is one straight shooting gun too. I bet you can shoot a 1 inch group @ 50 yards sand bagged with it.
Again sorry for late response not sure why these are just showing in my feed. Yeah this gun is crazy accurate. I just replaced the sight with a new blade as I was about 8 inches high the further out I went and the rear sight was out of adjustability, just resigned it and now shooting point of aim. Def a great gun a bit ugly but darn accurate and enjoyable.
Me too my dad gave me mine. I was just looking for mine I had it in one of my bags and can't find it now. I know it's not lost but somewhere misplaced lol
Now i dont recall if i paused the video and edited it or not when i sliced my finger. so if i did not it shoots great sitting right at the muzzle lol. Thats the great thing about light charges wont hurt the gun like mag loads. Thanks.
@@redeagletrapping I read through the comments to see is someone else noticed you failed to ram the ball down the bore when you cut your finger. Understandable in the moment, but it doesn’t shoot as well that way :)
Yuo this was addressed 4 years ago. Lol legend has it that ball is still on the ground covered in. My blood. Lol that's what happens when you try to talk film and shoot.
I read ( or heard on yt or something ) that D. Boon lived to a ripe old age shooting a .41 cal. m/l rifle He named Betsy . So , I guess You don't have to shoot a large cal. rifle . I Personally would love to have a .32 cal. rifle ( shoot a .31 patched ball ?) !
Yeah I heard that alot of the old guns were small calibers , makes sense with lead availability. Lg bore existed and in the book 44 years the life of the hunter I believe he describes his as roughly a 69 he never comes out and says what it is just an ounce or something of lead ball. A 32 would be great I always wanted 36 large enough to kill medium game small enough for sm game and a still manageable ramrod. A 32 is on my list though. Thanks
If you remove the barrel you will see the s spring that retains the ram rod. It can be adjusted with needle nose pliers. I ordered on of these rifles in 50 cal kit. It will be here tomorrow.
I can barely hear you and I am very interested I what you have to say. Thank you for explaining the kilt I don’t have a large nut sac so I guess I can stay with jeans.
Lol nice. Yeah some of the older vida had issues on some devices with audio, new ones should be fine. It was an interface and recording issue and not apparent on my computer. Thanks.
Make your own black powder! All the tools and chems for less than 2 pounds of powder @40 a pound. Completely legal. I make mine for 3 or 4 a pound, and its better than comercial powder. I can shoot my .54 cal all day for basically free.
@@stevenhall9349 you gotta ball mill it for like 6 hours. Then wet it till it's like play dough, and press it through a screen. Let it dry, run it through the screen again. Done
Unfortunately I can't tell u and honestly there's no point in the 36 as there is no need for this high, that and traditions max safe load of 3f is 65 and 2f is 70 gr. So sorry but can't help you on this one. If you ever do shoot it that high are record it please share.

@@JB-wj6vc yup I've run my 50 great plains to 120 but don't wanna push the 36 beyond much as it's not worth the potential damage to the barrel, even though these are new barrels there has been lots of talk as to the overall quality and while they are better than the originals apparently the steel still has its own issues so I'm ok being just beyond the max , in this video I was using pyrodex and thats already hotter than the recommended of true bp. Thanks for the info and comment
Learn to read your shot patches. The correct fit is scratched all of the way into the grooves. Too thin is spotty contact. Too thick tears out the middle. Then, adjust the powder charge, looking for the most consistent accuracy. Every gun seems to want something different.
Yup totally missed it , I mentioned it in the comments after I cut myself while trying to load and film missed it def my fault. Too much happening but luckily I shoot 20 grains so no real pressure issue there.
I trapped the coon on my property skinned and tanned them , then sent them to usafoxxandfurs to make the hat , they sell completed hats as well. But these are my coons.
Your view is better than mine all I see is snow. Nice gun did the hat come with it? Hey Daniel you shoot them in the head so you don't waste any meat. Well,..we can blame poor shooting on Pyrodex,.....I mean it's not Triple 7 or goex's fault. The gun looks pretty good. I am very happy for you,.....I think giving a gun like that to my son might be an insult to him. I watch all the Danial Boone shows on you tube.
Absolutely its super hard making videos and doing this solo there are many things I check and recheck and still can miss. Without video making distractions its far easier.
The loud noise caused by wind made listening very difficult. Try a different camera camera next time. Try to incorporate squirrel hunting with a future video.
