- Some more quality time with this original Civil War rifle. Very cool! We meant to speed up the reloading late in the video, as we did in an earlier video. We just forgot. Anyway, that's the reason for my comments about "speed reloading" and why I did not speak during reloading late in the video. I didn't expect you to be able to hear anything I'd say anyway. :-)

It's really nice to see a civil war veteran reunite with his rifle
I went to the museum in Springfield mass where they made those. They have hundreds of them stacked in racks that were ready to ship out at the end of the war and they kept them I guess. They all look like they were made yesterday, it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! You're a lucky man to have one in that shape.
I’m going to be restoring an original that I bought for 75 bucks, can’t wait till it’s up and running. Thank you for teasing me with all the videos of this beautiful rifle, they have kept me going for this project for awhile now.
Civil War era rifles are my new niche. I have over 130 rifles and pistols of different types and as of late, I've grown an interest into single shot rifles. I appriciate each shot more. My recent purchases were a Browning B-78, Ruger No 1 and a Remington rolling block. Still want a trapdoor Springfield and a Sharps. Most of my firearms are military collectibles. There's just something about them. Like the nostalgia and feel of an older car.

Surplus Sean; Great work Sean. That's impressive. My experience w/black powder is to sh$tcan the synthetic powder pelts and use "real black powder" & mini balls out of my Thompson Omega. I may not be all the way back to a Civil War rifle but I'm on my way!
BilgePump...Thanks. Gun collecting is my vice. It's an expensive hobby. My wife hates that I buy so many guns. The plus side is that they hardly ever lose value and I have something physical to show for my money. My love of guns comes from my Dad. He had a lot also, but I think a lot of my interest comes from my interest in history. My Dad loved history so my childhood vacations were spent going to civil war battlefields
i went back 6 years of your videos found the 1858 Remington revolver video time for a new one keep them coming
Anyone else think Hickok was issued this brand new in 1864?
Basilona Agreed
John Smith:
Sounds like something from the Book of Mormon.
lol
Hey, I resemble that remark....I'm around the same age as Hickok...Perhaps my gg granddaddy was; but he was Confederate. I think his unit at Fort Donelson used whatever they could get, I've read they used some muzzle loading shotguns.
.45 calibre
Black power is always fun. Glad to see you having a great time.
If you keep dissing 22 Plinkster, you won't get your bicycle back.
I have learned a lot from you on how to handle firearms...loading safety and how to hit a target. Thanks man.....I used to shoot years ago....had head injury..so I'm reteaching myself to do it again and your videos have been a great learning tool....thanks!!!!
Every time you break out a piece of history from this era, I cross my fingers the Spencer is going to be on the table. I know the original 56-56 won't be making an appearance but I believe Chiappa makes a reproduction chambered in 45lc.
I truly enjoy your video's. I use to have a Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle in .50 cal. I got to relive that slow shooting again, it is fun! Thank you.
I grew up going to civil war reenactments and shooting muzzle loaders you would be surprised at how fast some people can load them me and my Dad always made our own mini balls and I love using those can't stand using a round ball
I love your channel, man! You don't care if a gun is just cool, useless, suck or anything as long as it is fun to shoot. A weapon doesn't need to be perfect to have fun at the shooting range.
I've had to pull a ball twice. You are right, it is very difficult to do, but it is doable... Thankfully. It was a flintlock longrifle, 45 caliber with a 440 round ball and thick denim patch. TIGHT fit. I couldn't get enough powder in to do the trick. Tried compressed air too. No luck.
The "ADT security" sign gave me a chuckle. Hmmmm, I suppose ADT could stand for "a double tap" or something similar.
Beautiful firearm Hickok. Thanks.
every time you fire that thing I hear the battle hymn of the republic
Cavernous bore impressive. Another great video...
Love this, I found you channel looking for vids on this gun
Great video. Interesting bit of history. Thanks.
Was at a Gun Show recently and saw an M1 Garan Tanker. An M1 Garan about thr length of a M1 Carbine. Never knew it existed.
Theyre faked that way
The reason for removing the barrel band springs was it was cheaper and faster to make when you needed rifles fast removing the springs meant your factory could make 20% more a day that is a big deal.
nice gun. what history.
It's getting cold here in Kentucky hickock
I have removed a patch from my BP rifle by removing the nipple then using a pressurized spray can to blow it out. Might be used to remove a stuck ball too.
All that memory loss must be from smoking all those pots... LOL
Beautiful gun
Seems pretty accurate at modest distance.
300-500 yards easy. And if you are shooting at a mass of soldiers in volley fire even easier and farther.
*****
too true people blame trench warfare on the machine gun, but I place its origins right here with the minie ball. You can see trenches start to form in some of the sieges in the civil war and the Crimean war.
You think you'll ever be able to get your hands on a Springfield Pedersen Device to do a video on? It's such an interesting rifle.
Could you do a Flintlock Brown Bess chapter 2
I love to see these cool and historical guns ones again by the way you didn't do a Chapter 2 about the Krag rifle
Did a Krag Carbine Chapter 2. That's the one I own.
Hi ,
just seen a guy firing the spring field,he said you can pour the powder into the barrel ,mini ball in the pouch,{ball and powder in same pouch crimped so you know which way to pour}which drops in the barrel ,firing time 25 secs.
who thumbs down these videos seriously!
Hickok it would be amazing if you did a video on the ruger p89
Would like to see a muzzle loading rifle cleaning video
My family has an original Springfield. It was used in the Civil War by great to the upteenth power grandpaw. It no longer in firing condition, unless your goal is to have ti blow up in your face.
Hickok, I will be doing a video with an original 1853 3 Band enfield. I believe caliber is the same at .577. Or am I way off base?
Yes!
I was wondering, would you be able to make a video about the old píšťala weapon, used in Europe in the 15th century?
We want a video on the 2016/17 civil war.
Is there any chance of the mini ball falling out if you hold it at an angle/directly down? You mentioned the bore being bigger, and if it was clean the ball would fall down to the bottom, so it got me curious.
Super!
is this a different camera or something? it sounds different
"At least for now!" Feds, man!
I'm very interested in the Pennsylvania Long rifle ou Kentucky long rifle both in replica ... parts of history !
AWESOME!!!
some things you just don't want to remember...
The only bid difference with blanks and real ammo is that blanks have no projectile and it has almost no kick
mr. hickok,what is your opinion on quick-drawing revolvers?have you ever tried to do a quickdraw with a S&W model 19 with blanks?
Ok-- get the giggles out of the way- could I ask where you got that large brass rod ? And what is the lenght of it ?
I am looking for a range rod for my Lyman .50 cal Hawken. Thanks again.
Normally I just answer that questions when women ask, but I'll make an exception. :-) I get them when I attend the National Muzzleloading shoot in Friendship, Indiana. Somebody probably sells the longer ramrods online, but I guess shipping is an issue.
By the way, lest somebody think I'm a "national competitor" or something, I just attend the Friendship shoots to watch and shop. Great event.
Well thanks Mr. H. I hope to see you up there some day. For now I will look to Dixie Gun Works maybe they have a wooden one that is just as long. Oh boy here we go again.... :-)
It's hard to get the ball out if it gets stock in the barrel me and my dad where shooting the one time and we did not clean the barrel out
*watches hickocks45's Springfield1863, really wants it because history.
*watches military arms channel B&T TP9 SBR, really wants it too because tacticool
*looks at wallet, can't have either.
hickok!!!!! i absolutely love your channel, you are my hero. your son is one lucky guy. anyways, ive never really had an interets in black powder until now. you sparked something in me melon. i am intrigued and will be trying this out forsure. Also, ive come across a lonewolf glock set up with a timberwolf compact lower and a long 35 slide with 9 and 40 barrels. im in the proccess of assembling and picking small parts. have you had any on hand on the compound? if not you should check them out, deff takes the glock to the next level. god bless and everyday we open our eyes and see ths ceiling is a great day to be alive.
can you do a review of US Navy MK2 Mod 1 rifle
hey hickok im a big fan can you bring out a mg 42 maybe ? keep up the good work :)
can you also do a review on the ruger american compact please
1000 views in 18 minutes, not bad for an old man ;-)
You're clearly not from around here
KGODSMACKC yeah I'm just being a goof, been a subscriber for a long time.
How often do you change out your ear protection? Thanks
I have one in poor condition (wall hanger) not Springfield but "Parkers NWC&CO 1863" Do you know anything about them? I actually keep it by my front door in honor of the militia . They kept it there as it was the last thing they grabbed on their way out the front door.
I got a 1863 Tower. I need parts and a parts list. Where can I get original parts.
Have you ever thought about reviewing an AR 15 from Core Rifle Systems?
1853 Springfield Rifle
You have many vids about civil war/old west gun/revolver, but never in 50-70 cartridge one. Fine a sharp carbine pls..
where can you get black powder these days?
The old video says it's an 1863
Нихера не понимаю , но смотреть очень интересно! ))
Do the browning 1919 machine gun
Can this be fired in the rain?
blackopssavage good question
John Graham yes the cap lock system solved the problem of pan powder getting wet and created a water tight system. the pistols are the same way. the remaining problem, however, was with the cartridges. although they were made of heavy paper, rain water, atmospheric moisture, rivers, etc could easily ruin the powder.
It will, the percussion caps are not that affected by rain like the naked powder in flintlocks.
Offcourse with some serious rain it would be difficult to keep the powder and barrel dry during loading.
blackopssavage light rain? Yes.... downpour? Maybe, depends if water gets under the cap, and if you can keep your powder dry enough while reloading
Just don't get your paper cartridges too wet or water down the barrel
Does anyone know what kind of knives those were on table
Thelonewolf4032 Jordan Bowie knife.
Rob LaRosa I know that I want to buy that exact one the big one
rsrsrs. .. very very good, I liked this is old guns 😊😊😊
😏.... sorry my inglish is very ogle kkkkkkk...
I need smellovision for black powder videos...
Perfect timing! Just sat down with my lunch.
Perfect timing! Just finished packing my bowl.
Perfect timing! Just 3 weeks before the Second Civil War
+Vincent Trudel true
Perfect timing! Just finished dinner.
lol
great history lesson
You need to sign the used patches and sale them on Ebay.
busted a gut!!! Hilarious. *BGM.41
The original assault rifle! The liberals hat it!
Nah, he's safe. If he painted it black however, then it would be a different story. Those helo's would be feds getting ready to confiscate it due to it's ability to fire 10's of thousands of rounds a minute.......
+Ken Creppin agreed
robleake that's not what the Second Amendment under the US BILL OF RIGHTS says.
Not sure what my comment has to do with 2nd amendment but it says you have right to bear arms doesn't say any gun you like does it? Also doesn't say anything about not filling a form in to register it. Not sure this affects your 2nd amendment rights. Of course the 2nd amendment could be amended. The clue is in the name. Other amendments have been amended. Of course that's unlikely to happen due to NRA lobbyists etc. My point was I am a liberal and I don't have a problem with guns per se
robleake it says shall not be infringed upon.
Perfectly legal... 'least for now haha
Hickok you're the best.
Have you ever fired a Martini Henry Hickok? The only issue is trying to find the ammo I suppose.
Was waiting for the joke as soon I heard the chopper off in the distance, haha!
Great video. Now all we need is a chapter two of the brown bess :)
That is one loud rifle!
Hickock45, please think about doing a chapter 2 "Brown Bess"
Are you ever gonna to shoot the FG-42
Garbage.
junkygamer How pc. I just call it the gun of the losing side of WWII.
+Brian Thornton The FG42 was an excellent weapon.
crazyfvck Natzi garbage. Mainly the sound was feared most. Required two or more to operate. Im a carbine guy. And we won with it.
Brian Thornton Uh.. NO. We are talking about the FG42, which is a full auto paratrooper rifle. You are talking about the MG42, which is a full-sized machine gun. And with the exception of their "last ditch" weapons, none of the firearms used by the Germans during WW2 were garbage.. They were all excellent weapons. As a point of fact, the U.S. borrowed features from several of them to use in later weapons (like the M60 machine gun.)
It's a melancholy weapon. I couldn't look at it without thinking about the terrible civil war. The PBS series with the black and white stills is awesome, but what an horrific war.
All war is horrific. People just cannot get along, it seems. Never have; never will.
I like to think that the big ones are behind us, although with people like Putin you're never entirely sure.
word!
Craig Ross I know, I break down and whimper every time I see it. I have to go to my safe place now :(
Now are you, 1) someone who has seen a lot of life, or 2) someone with the bold self-confidence every society needs (and readily finds) in its young men, and which (unfortunately) doesn't save them from complete breakdown when they see the reality of what they thought they understood?
How is the recoil on something like this? What caliber would you compare it to in todays type rounds?
Hey Hickok, could you please make a video on the 1857 Smith Carbine?
The Springfield Armory museum has a ton of these on display. All never issued they look brand new, very cool and worth seeing
Was a wonderful insight to history, part 1 and 2, sad in someways that so many good men perished during that time.
On a lighter note preservation of history is very important and I watch all your vidios and I am constantly amazed with your knowledge. So much so I am sure you have forgotten more than I'll ever know!!
Thanks from OZ (Australia :-) )
You guys should read "The Guns of the South" by Harry Turtledove if you want a really interesting alternative version of the Civil War.
I read that entire series it is a great read.
does that rifle kick like a 12 gauge or lower
Hi sir just subsribed to your channel. Watching you firing all type of weapon is just amazing. Could you please make a review also with taurus pt 24/7? Please just to see you smoke the pot and little cowboy there. Planning to buy taurus. Thanks.
Loved it, keep em coming. The "early arms" stuff is great.
That is some massive lead heading down range from that beast. Plenty accurate for white tail deer and certainly enough wallop!
Very well done video as usual, you are an excellent teacher and very well informed. And what a great rifle!! You're a lucky guy to own that gem! Keep up the great work you and John do for all of us.
For what it is worth, you might have mentioned that the barrels on the original guns are iron, not steel. Firing an original with 60 grains of powder might produce more of an explosion than you expected! If you intend to get involved with a 61 type Springfield, get a repro, and stay safe!
Yep, they were iron back then firing 60 grains of black powder, just as they are iron today firing 60 grains of black powder. As with any antique firearm, you want to check it out and make sure it's safe to shoot, whether it's an 1st Generation Colt or an antique muzzleloader.
If you intend to get involved with antique firearms, get them checked out, but as with many, many thousands of people who shoot antique arms, don't just out of fear or an unnecessary obsession with "safety," feel that you can only shoot reproductions. My shooting experience has been vastly enriched through the years by experiencing so many antique firearms., maybe because I've never known anybody who blew himself up, or have even heard of anybody who blew himself up. :-)
That said, everybody else's mileage might vary. Always do what you think is safe and be sure you are aware of your limitations.
Isn't the correct term "rifle musket"? Muskets are muzzle-loaded while rifles use cartridges
Correct me if I'm wrong
With the adoption of the .58 Minie rifle in 1855 by the U.S Army, the designation for the various .58 Minie rifle barrel lengths was: 40 inch barrel "Rifle-Musket", 33 inch barrel "Rifle", and 22-24 inch barrel "Carbine". The ""Rifle-Musket" had roughly the same barrel length as the old smooth-bore musket (40-42 inch) and could use the same rank-firing and bayonet tactics developed during the smooth bore musket era. The Carbine was intended for use by Cavalry and Artillery units, and the 33" Rifle intended for use by skirmishing units as the shorter 33" barrel allowed for a slightly faster rate of fire for the forward-deployed skirmishers. The 33 inch Rifle was made with a thicker-walled, heavier barrel than the "Rifle-Musket" and was actually more accurate in long range firing tests at 500 yards and beyond than the .58 Rifle-Musket.
I've had to extract a .45cal lead ball from my rifle. I made my own extractor tip out of a 2" metal wood screw. I cut off the screw head and ran a die (10-24) over it ........... then threaded it onto my ram rod and extracted the lead ball. Works GREAT!
Would you/have you make a video going over the cleaning equipment you use? Does anyone have a link to a video that he says explaining the tools he uses for cleaning. I'm primarily interested in the what the end of the ramrod he uses to put patches down the barrel and then pull the patch out without it coming off the end is called. Does anyone know?
What brand of Musket Caps do you use?
I grew up shooting muzzle loaders with my dad...gotta love it :) you should do a video showing everyone how cleaning these are a bit different.
Hey hickok! I'm curious, how is the felt recoil on these old black powder rifles? Is it similar to any modern caliber?
Thank you sir!
Ok! Thanks guys! Have a good one!
john Mullholand Nice ! Now i have an idea ! Thank you sir !
Hickok! Awesome video! Could you perhaps find a nice Spencer, or a Sharps to play around with?
WE've done a Sharps. See FAQ Video 54. We've not been able to get our hands on a Spencer, though, anywhere.
Thanks for the quick reply! Well, no rush if you can't get a Spencer, but I think it would be a popular choice :) Keep up the awesome work!
