I absolutely appreciate older guns and the history that comes with them, but with that comes an even greater appreciation of modern firearms and their ease of use.
@@3nertiaThe grim reaper knocks politely when he's 93 and goes "hey man. You live in a chair and shit in a bag. You ready to go see your mom and your old army buddies?" And Clint goes "You're late motherfucker."
I think Clint is extremely misunderstood. I have seen people say he is rude and mean, he’s absolutely not. He’s just old school, he seems like one of the most caring men I have ever seen. He wants you to learn, improve, and be better. He would be the best grandpa anyone could ask for. Clint rules
Anyone who thinks Clint is “rude and mean” is just a pussie and didn’t have a dad that smacked them in the back of the head when they were being stupid 😂
Liking older guns doesn't automatically make you a fudd, it can also mean you appreciate the history & the engineering it took to make incredible tools in the time they were made.
I own both modern black rifles but also older wood and blued steel rifles and I've never seen gun owners who like old firearms as fudds. To me, fudds are gun owners who are willing to throw other gun owners (mostly those who like black rifles, handguns, etc.) under the bus in order to save THEIR guns.
@@kutter_ttl6786Bingo! As I got older my tastes varied to everything from AKs/ARs to black powder single shots. With my favorites being WWII to Vietnam era small arms, especially sniper rifles. The problem I have is with old world thinking such as "You don't need a semi auto." Or "Only someone who can't shoot accurately would hunt with a semi auto." (Here in PA we are slowly getting into semi auto hunting being allowed). Gun owners should come together as a whole, or they will pick us all off one by one. Just because your field of firearm interest is more widely accepted doesn't mean you can shit on my choices. A muzzle loader isn't any less deadly than the newest popular wiz bang. It's a tool and the outcome is all up to the user.
Clint’s insistence on letting you know he’s not trying to be “bossy” or “ugly” showcases his intense respect for those he’s reaching. He’s sharing knowledge not just tellin it!
James you have to realize this is living history that Clint is putting in your hands. I hope you enjoyed this as much I enjoyed watching. You can hear the pride and enthusiasm Clint has for these firearms. I cannot wait to see part two or however many parts there are after that.
I liked James comment " the first one looks like it was made in prison lol . .. and had a soft spot for the 2nd one > 45/70 Springfield trapdoor ! That's a gun well worth having in the gun safe great calibre , very historic to American wild west and a lot of fun to shoot !
Clint is the embodiment of what I loved about serving with Marines. Just a good person with a passion for guns, being good with them, and having the patience to teach you properly to be successful. Every time I see him on this channel I miss being a Corpsman. Can't wait for part 2 broham!
You could throw Clint into a time machine and drop him in the middle of any battle with firearms and he’d know what to do! An amazing amount of knowledge, an incredible man! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Clint Smith loves you so much James! He treats you like a grandson, constantly keeping his hands on your shoulder and his finger in your belt to let you know he’s there behind you. What a great man!
Im really shocked... these guns are so iconic, they are a must have to know, especially in the US. 😳 And the gun named an Win 73 was a Marlin, maybe 1881... no Win73 got a side eject.
funny how in the army, they have the opposite thinking. a bullet that goes too low will just dig into the ground and do nothing to the enemy, but a bullet flying high will zoom past their heads with alot of noise and stop them in their tracks and scrambling for cover out of fear of being hit
These rounds were fat heavy and slow that's exactly what they told the soldiers back in the day if you shoot over there head it's a clean miss if you aim low you literally can skip that bullet and hit the enemy or the guy beside him. It's more of a chance of a hit
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszykiewic3338Yeah when you can lay down lead like today, just shoot over their heads, but back when every round counts as you can only shoot several a minute, it's got to hit something. Love old guns, it brings things into perspective today.
Everyone should like this video and Clint is a Great man and friend to you James to share these wonderful firearms and time with you doing something the 2 of you will never forget! Great content and an example what all Free Americans should do in this great country spending quality time with friends and family on the range!!
Great video. Mr. Smith is a walking dictionary on historical weapons. The year 1873 was an incredible year for the gun industry with Colt's SAA, the Trapdoor model and Sharps buffalo gun, incredible!
Aside from the cool, old guns....this is the passage of knowledge to a new generation. To see the pride of Clint explaining them all, and James actually listening and making hits........its wonderful. More of this, please.
James is going to be reading about historical arms now. I love how Clint presents a scenario for his students. "A little poop in your drawers." is so effective for removing ego from training.
People like Mr. Clint Smith must be appreciated and their knowledge must be passed down to the next generation. Thank you for making this video to share knowledge. Keep up the good work.
Awesome video James. Great to see history being used and explained. You need to do more of these for sure. You can tell Clint is just an excited kid showing off his toys and love for all things firearms related.
Enjoyed the video. Enjoy all the "old guns", too. That lever action 1873 Winchester sure looked like a Marlin to me. All Winchester lever action rifles are top eject. Marlins have a solid top receiver and side eject.
Krags fuck. I used to have an old 1898 sporter, but in 2018 found a beautiful unaltered long rifle variant. No exaggeration, smoothest actions you will ever shoot.
Shooting old guns with a living legend like Clint Smith is bucket-list level AWESOME!!!!!! Really enjoyed this episode, especially the “Clintisms” like “you’re trying to build custom cabinets with a chainsaw, it’s just not the right tool.” Episode Two here we go!!!
Mr. Reeves, I am very rarely jealous of things I see on the internet, but I do find myself envious of your friendship with Clint Smith. He is a wealth of knowledge and always seems so eager to share it.
James I'm not mucha fan of the older guns either but I at least have respect for the elegance of the design and engineering of them because if these guns never existed we might not have all the guns today that you I and others really enjoy shooting.
One of your best videos. Love it. I have a Cimmeron 45 colt lever action. I searched high and low to answer why it has a ring on it. Question answered!
Cling Smith is awesome and I am so happy you take the time to learn and do videos with him. I am an old timer myself and we appreciate when the younger generation takes the time to absorb information we learned in our life times. When you finally make it to that time youself, you will feel the way same way. I will miss Clint when he crosses the bridge, being a fellow Marine. We love to teach and train others who are willing to learn. God Bless brother.
Uncle Clint taking going James to the range and giving him a life experience. Everyone needs an Uncle Clint who doesn't mince words and is so full of knowledge.
This is by far an amazing episode. I can’t wait for episode 2. Thank you. After a hard night at work with sick patients, this was the perfect way to end my shift.
Small game hunting license at 14 and the rifle I was allowed to use: a Stevens 22lr falling block/ octagon/round barrel. Can't believe you never shot a falling block before. My dad competed at camp Perry on the Navy pistol team and Clint makes me remember some of the things I did with my dad. Thanks Clint. Pay attention James, you don't get some thing like this everyday . God bless.
Great video....and always great to hear from Clint Smith. One of the better videos covering the span of time and US rifle history with actual shooting. Nice.
I love the way Clint interacts with you. He seems like a guy I’d love to have a chat with well into the evening picking his brain for bits of his life experiences.
James, this is really cool, entertaining Clint's desires to expose you to the historical side of firearms is once in a lifetime, thank you for sharing this adventure 👍
After watching and seeing Clint in so much online, it's really cool to see his reactions in this video. You can yell he's loving it and very passionate about it. His excitement over those historical firearms is awesome to watch.
Clint Smith reminds me of my grandfather so damn much! They way he was helping and controlling the guns in a way that he's showing him the proper way of using this all and explaining I love it. I miss you grandpa!
I really loved this episode. Clint is great, and his decades of firearm enthusiasm gleams through his explanation and instruction. Thanks, that time zipped by.
You are standing on the shoulders of a GIANT. I hope you appreciate the lessons learned as you/we can never learn what he has experienced, as none of us can. Thats how we don’t repeat out past mistakes. Thank you and God bless you Clint, I hope we do you proud.
Back in the early 90s as a young man I had been gifted a Sharps trap door 45-70, and there were around 7 other guns in my collection that weren’t very expensive but valuable to me. My home burned down in 97 when I was 15, and it was a total loss. I’ve since acquired a nice collection, but it’s mostly modern stuff
James, you are truly blessed. Clint will not live forever and you have been able to spend quality time with him and he treats you like his knuckleheaded but beloved grandson. Everyone should have a father/grandfather like Clint. A better man from a better America.
Remember, when you’re looking at a rifle from a different era, they didn’t have choices. It was the next best thing and they had to make it work. You have always done a great job and get as much of Smith as you can. Thank you.🇺🇸
Fun fact: automatic pistols, the 9×19mm cartridge, and even the modern box magazine all trace their lineage to Sharps Rifle Company. Hugo Borchardt and James Lee were both employed at Sharps and designed a few single shot rifles. Lee started tinkering with a bolt action rifle with a detachable box magazine he'd invented. That rifle would gradually evolve into the Lee Enfield rifle. Borchardt took Lee's design for a magazine and applied it to his groundbreaking Borchardt pistol, the first commercially produced automatic pistol, the first to feed from a detachable magazine and also the first to put that magazine in the grip. That pistol would evolve into the Luger which went on to influence every modern pistol. The bottlenecked 30 caliber cartridge for it was designed by Georg Luger himself and when the German government said they wanted something bigger he blew out the neck to invent the 9×19
thank you for putting this video together. I had a close uncle that would of absolutely enjoyed this lesson on these historic pieces that shaped the nation. he loved old revolvers mostly because of their history.
G-Day James, bloody awesome video, I can watch Clint talk / teach all day long, love his sense of humor. I'm really glad you went with a two parter. Cheers for the video, looking forward to part two.
So is criticizing people's preferences. At the end of the day, he was initially ignorant and ended up kinda enjoying some of the rifles. He learned something. The fact that you can't comprehend that simply by watching is pretty cringe, man.
I love learning from Clint and really anyone who is as excited as he is about their profession! It is another level that can get you excited about how paper is made or anything.
Easily one of the coolest videos I’ve ever watched, what an awesome experience to learn about all of these rifles and their history with none other than the legendary Clint Smith. Excited for part two, thanks James for the excellent content.
You are very lucky to have spent the day with Clint. It looks like you had a blast. I would have loved to have spent the day there learning and firing those historic guns.
I think its extremely cool to see how old guns work. Far more interesting imo than modern guns. You had people who figured out how to make gunpowder explode down a barrel by using a rock that created a spark when struck! That to me was about as amazing as the first revolving premade bullets. Can’t imagine avoiding guns because they aren’t “modern”.
I enjoy your videos for the most part but this is probably the most enjoyable video of all. Thanks for making this one and thanks to Clint for allowing us to see these guns and how they work. Thanks a lot. Great content.
I absolutely appreciate older guns and the history that comes with them, but with that comes an even greater appreciation of modern firearms and their ease of use.
Normally I would say: “Protect Clint Smith at all costs” but I’m pretty sure he can do a better job of that on his own than we could.
Clint Smith is one of the few dudes where I'd feel sorry for the Grim Reaper when he comes for Clint ...
@@3nertiaThe grim reaper knocks politely when he's 93 and goes "hey man. You live in a chair and shit in a bag. You ready to go see your mom and your old army buddies?" And Clint goes "You're late motherfucker."
With guns? Eh, he's set. In hand-to-hand? Yeh, that could do.
@@BriselanceOkay tough guy
Clint Smith is a national treasure.
You absolutely stole my comment! He should be protected at all costs!
Clintlock.
Agreed. I really regret that I doubt I will ever get the opportunity to train with him.
If anyone should be made into a "Cortana" AI for future training, it's Clint Smith.
Big facts
It's fun watching James pretending like he's not having fun. I know he's stoked lol
I think Clint is extremely misunderstood. I have seen people say he is rude and mean, he’s absolutely not. He’s just old school, he seems like one of the most caring men I have ever seen. He wants you to learn, improve, and be better. He would be the best grandpa anyone could ask for.
Clint rules
Anyone who thinks Clint is “rude and mean” is just a pussie and didn’t have a dad that smacked them in the back of the head when they were being stupid 😂
Yes, he's very direct.
But he does it in a respectable manner.
You can tell he cares about teaching someone correctly.
When others are speaking he listens intently looking directly at them. Old school is bullseye.
I'd rather be a good man than "nice guy" any day.
Very well said

@@ZundfolgeAmen
who the fuck even cares about being called a "Fudd"? If you care about a name or title being applied to you, you're a child.
You can hear in Clint's voice how giddy he is to pass on his knowledge of those older firearms. Just purely awesome.
It would be good if these guys would attend the national match at Friendship, Indiana for the National Muzzle Loading Association.
You can hear the genuine exuberance in Clint's voice as he's able to pass on his knowledge to another person. Like a father teaching his son.
I love how engaging he is. He demands your attention, perhaps a bit brusquely, but is always respectful of it.
This is the way.
you gon learn today sonny
You can hear the cigarettes too
Clint must be easily the most quotable person in the gun community. He's such a legend.
"yeah well there's a lotta people that got killed" 3:50
9:26
Clint’s insistence on letting you know he’s not trying to be “bossy” or “ugly” showcases his intense respect for those he’s reaching. He’s sharing knowledge not just tellin it!
Glad to see you expanding your horizons. Post Civil War to WWI was an amazing time firearms-wise. It's probably my favorite firearms era.
To see muskets being replaced with modern bolt action rifles and machine guns
It's awesome that Clint is giving James a history lesson on old firearms. We should never forget how firearms evolved through history. Great video!
what a nice collection of specimens Clint has!
James you have to realize this is living history that Clint is putting in your hands. I hope you enjoyed this as much I enjoyed watching. You can hear the pride and enthusiasm Clint has for these firearms. I cannot wait to see part two or however many parts there are after that.
This may be my favorite video ever. Not only do I love old guns, seeing James uncomfortable and Clint enjoying it is amazing
I liked James comment " the first one looks like it was made in prison lol . ..

I’m more intrigued by the “No Rucks Given” t-shirt. I think James would half die if he actually had to ruck. And would rather die than try.
Never, ever have I known a “gun guy” that hates old guns. There is at the MINIMUM a “respect your elders” attitude.

That Winchester 1873 is actually a Marlin 1894. And 44-40, 38-40, and 32-20 were rifle calibers that fit into a revolver, not the other way around.
Yeah that slide action is unmistakable.

Well done can't wait for the next video. The amazing thing is when you dig into the history and realize the 800 to 1,400 yards shots were being made
Awesome video James. Great to see history being used and explained. You need to do more of these for sure. You can tell Clint is just an excited kid showing off his toys and love for all things firearms related.
Every interaction James has with Clint really does feel like a father/son interaction. So much better than a bromance

Glad I'm not the only one to see that. Now I can cancel my eye appointment.
Yeah, there’s no way that was a 73. Had to of been a Marlin. I own three 73’s.
Another thing on the Winchester Model 73. It was never a military rifle.
That was definitely a modern Marlin 1894, not a Winchester 1873 or a reproduction.
His excitement shows this is what he loves. Great teacher but this is what his passion is i think.
I love how much you and your back up dad care about each other, it really comes through in the videos.
Not normally into old guns, but I’m seeing a Krag-Jørgensen 1898 rifle on the table. That’s near and dear to my heart. Looking forward to part 2!
Krags fuck. I used to have an old 1898 sporter, but in 2018 found a beautiful unaltered long rifle variant.
No exaggeration, smoothest actions you will ever shoot.
Agreed; action is butter smooth. Fortunate to have one passed down from my grandfather, to dad, to me, and it hasn’t been sporterized. 🤘
I love the way Clint walks you through these guns and I absolutely lost it when he was talking about the hair trigger

Easily one of the coolest videos I’ve ever watched, what an awesome experience to learn about all of these rifles and their history with none other than the legendary Clint Smith. Excited for part two, thanks James for the excellent content.
You are very lucky to have spent the day with Clint.
It looks like you had a blast.
I would have loved to have spent the day there learning and firing those historic guns.
I absolutely love listening to Clint Smith. A wealth of knowledge.
I think its extremely cool to see how old guns work. Far more interesting imo than modern guns. You had people who figured out how to make gunpowder explode down a barrel by using a rock that created a spark when struck! That to me was about as amazing as the first revolving premade bullets. Can’t imagine avoiding guns because they aren’t “modern”.
Seriously such a awesome video, I hope there are many more like this to come. I learned a lot about these older firearms . Very interesting
You can tell Clint is having a blast teaching, and that makes it so cool to see.
We need more videos with Clint. Wealth of knowledge. Keep that knowledge alive James. Doing the lords work.
Client's an incredible instructor and has an amazingly dark sense of humor just a wonderful human being.
This is the coolest thing ever. Thank you for the great content, man. 👍🏻
Just want to say great video.I love anything Clint Smith he doesnt make enough of them.Thanks.
This was fun and informative, thanks James and Clint!
I enjoy your videos for the most part but this is probably the most enjoyable video of all. Thanks for making this one and thanks to Clint for allowing us to see these guns and how they work. Thanks a lot. Great content.
Thanx for enduring this so we could enjoy it.
