Wow this guy is still going? This man is my childhood. I first started watching this guy when I was 11, I’m now 19. It’s been years
Glad I could be around and make sure you "growed up" right! :-)
@@hickok45 lumbago?
@@DONKEYWHATDIDYOUDO yes
@@roskcity LUMBAGO
2013 wasnt THAT long ago lol. i was 25 im only 33 now. i guess for an 11 year old it might seem like a lifetime ago. not as you get a little older
for those asking if this can be used for home defense yes but make sure you got a sidearm and a cannon with grapeshots
I use one as my trunk gun. Been seeing a lot more Confederate flags lately, so I have to be ready.
Make sure to don’t miss, you’ll be dead before being done reloading
@@Deadener Gotta be always ready, you just never know...
Inagine grape shot for home defense, end up wipe out your own house.
just as the founding fathers intended
Oh sweet it uses glock mags
Biokem what? it has no mag
Samoan/Mud Crab woooosh
nate. io sorry, I don't get this joke
@@nova1726 I think its referring to a pistol with the same name lol
Hanji Zoe dafuq you talking about
Slap a 12x scope, suppressor, ghost trigger, forgrip, tacticool rails on it with with a grenade launcher
But Then it would be an "Assault Weapon"
yes grenade launcher, 58cal over 40mm?? come and get it
Maybe a talon grip
Add a silencer.
lol
That is a beautiful rifle for being 156 years old, definitely looks like she was taken care of.
SgtAwesome97 it's a reproduction
Too sad hahah
@@slyman8609 he said it wasn't
158 years old now
I’m my grandmothers house she has a 1864 Springfield rifle on the wall, the stock has a crack in it but the action still works perfectly, I’m thinking fixing the stock with raw hide and cleaning it and all that stuff
Imagine having to clean and load and prime that rifle while the enemy is charging! Wow, cool classic rifle!
What the hell? People disliking Hickocks video are nutjobs. Have watched every video of his, he’s awesome!
Haters with an agenda. It’s impossible to dislike any of his videos.
Relax. It's only 13. Who knows why people dislike info videos.
Now is 33
There must be a small number of weirdos who go around just giving the thumbs down to gun videos.
bluelightning414 I don't eve understand the point. He's talking about the weapons from a purely technical perspective. I enjoy history, and firearms and their evolution are a very important part of it.
"I hope whoever carried it fared well" - righteous.
Your videos could be 2 hours long and it wouldn't matter. This is better than any TV show
Climbaholic I would agree! He deserves a tv show, we deserve a gun tv channel lol
Yep
Random channel have you watched game of thrones?
id watch
@@hondolane5513 I don't want to watch a feature length movie per episode
The best way to check the cleanliness of the barrel is with the ramrod. If the ramrod makes a "PING"' sound when you drop it down the barrel then it's clean. If the ramrod makes a "Thud" sound then the barrel is ful of crude.
If you run out of artificial cleaning solutions...pouring warm water down the barrel will loosen up the powder residue.
I've heard boiling/hot water is best?
As with soilders cleaning it in the civil war you would angle the gun and poor hot but not too hot water down the barrel of the gun and poor it out repeat this until the water is clear there are more steps to do this but this is the gist of it
Pea lol naked
@@Red_Star_robin you get qp
Where is the tactical chainsaw attachment?
Driver Nephi Where is the angled foregrip with a laser and EOTECH sight?
Oh yea yeah
@@ohioemeregncyresponsevehic3381 nuclear orphanage seeker
what about the ICBM Grenade ar 15 bazooka shooter gun ?
Driver Nephi Or the laser sight and flashlight foregrip?!
As a re-enactor we were taught to remove the spent cap as the last function in the reload. That spent cap would block off the air to any hot residue when add a new charge of black powder.
I just discovered this channel, this man is like Bob Ross of firearms, loving it .
There's no like about it he is the Bob Ross of firearms
That is a great comparison! He really is that calm enthusiasm.
Who thought weapons that kill people could have a Bob Ross
Okokok hirasa kamina ok
@@ju1cyjon3s31every community has its own Bob Ross
Arthur Morgan has one just like that
Talal Albalawi so does john marston
I thought it was the bolt action version when I first shot it, went to hunt the legendary buck and it ran off before I could get another shot in.
Similar but completely different gun and operation
Talal Albalawi Not anymore he doesn’t
@Roger Dodger They used metallic cartridges though.
Used to shoot a replica, competitively. Folks have no idea how accurate these rifled muskets really are. Watching this brings back many happy memories!
That sounds like a lot of fun!
@@codyallen2838 It is Cody, check out the ACWSA and N-SSA websites.
How Accurate are they? I am looking at a Chiappa replica. What can I expect?
let me guess your from Texas
@@o.o4534 what would make you guess that from anything above?
and it is you're, or ya'll
Who down votes Hickok45 and a real 1861 Springfield?! Great video!
*W E A P O N O F W A R A L E R T*
TH-cam need some competition! They have too much of a monopoly! Democrats must own it? Go Army NRA USA
I fainted
I like how he doesn’t beg for subs or likes like all the other youtubers
Well because it’s Humble Hickok.
Hickok45 makes my wallet lighter
It’s sad that one day this absolute legend will pass one day. :(
Yep, it's everyone's fate, regardless of age. We all have a date with the "Abyss"; we just don't know the time and day. :-)
hickok45 yessir you are correct.
But when death comes knocking, I wouldn’t doubt that he would put his M1 Garand to good use.
He'll go out shooting!
and when that day comes i will share a glass of bitter wine and salute to our hero
Is that one of those high capacity clip, full-semi-auto rifles?
Not sure. I've been trying to do some rapid fire strings with it, but I'm having difficulty practicing "double-taps" with the thing! :-)
If you paint it Black put attachment rails and a fore grip they will say it is a fully semi automatic 50bmg anti world gun.
These need to be taken off the streets, cnn just pulled up an expert who demonstrated full muzzle loading single shot automatic
50Sense its got a 30 caliber clip and can fire 30 rounds in half a second
50Sense cool
At 0:03 pause it
Why ???
@@Liamreal154it says 1862 lol the title says 1861
Fascinating to think about where this gun has been.
The best thing about this guy is that no matter how old his videos are, they're still just as amazing as his new ones
hes bye far the best fire arm youtuber on here
Now, TH-cam shouldn't have a problem with this one... actually, shouldn't speak too soon, who knows with them :/
nice beard :)
danzbeard.....yeah , don't plant any seeds with these guys
They modified the change to the new TOS to be more clear on what they dont want and its not to bad really. Just banning videos of things that are already illegal and forbidding the user to do things like post direct links to purchase firearms which is already impossible.
The 2nd amendment only applies to muskets! *Until you pick up a musket...
TheGreatBeard thanks!
Love your vids. Very informative and entertaining. I had a '62 CS Richmond repro and if you don't clean these things they will really gum up and are done. I don't know how anyone in the Civil War could have been bored when they had a rifle to clean.
"You might be new to the channel...and think we're sane..." Classic :)
Fantastic gun an amazing piece of history, I am in England and guns are very restricted (along with most knifes )here and hand guns are totally banned, I believe that it is my human right to have a gun to protect myself and my family, and if used safely are a very interesting subject, I do believe that I am missing out because of English laws on guns ,but I am grateful to see there's videos as I get to see these amazing crafted guns ,and I have learned a lot of things from this channel, thank you, I look forward to seeing your next video 👍🔫
Many of the 1853 Enfield rifle where were by the London Armoury Co. in Bermondsey, south east London.
Why need a gun when you already have 2 fists
Come on over.... this land is full of ex- Brits now Americans.... seems to be a tradition😉
Well a cap and ball or a flintlock might me legal ;-)
@@coconutsloshed4119 You need a fist license to use your hand in public.
Percussion caps allow for way too fast of reload! We should only allow flash pan muskets so mass shootings can not take place. So scary they are still allowed.
And I think that's a high-capacity barrel... Those things should be illegal!
Make paper cartridges illegal, too, while you are at it, as well as bullet lube.
You know what I'm just going to go fire my m1 garand in peace
Rifled barrels too? That’s too much.
That's fully automatic ignition! Only 1600s style muskets should be allowed, where you hold a burning wick to the barrel and ignite the powder.
Hickok45 is like the Bob Ross of guns and ammo. "The Joy of (Sports) Shooting". For real, I enjoy the videos so much.
What do you do if you get a patch stuck down in it when you are cleaning it???
Pour some bp solvent down the bore. You could also remove the nipple and pour some in there too if it's really stuck.
You pack it down all the way, and then use a patch worm to remove it.
I have a corkscrew sort of attachment that makes it easy to get out, provided you don't get the patch AND rod stuck down there. That's the biggest problem, getting a dry patch that you cannot pull back out. I have a horror story about this involving my stupidity I'll share with you on a muzzle loader pistol we'll be doing a video with soon.
Thank you for the info.
I use a wire brush on a cleaning rod.
Okay, I was panic mode when he cleaned the barrel. HOW did the cleaning pad stick to the rod!? What am I missing?
It has to do with the size of the end of the ram rod, thickness of the patch, and size of patch. It doesn't always work
I use a long cylindrical brush on a wire
If the sides contact the barrel well enough, tension should stop it slipping off the end.
One year later and still no Elephant Gun video. But hey, a guy said greetings from Brazil, so there's that.
@ not so many. Only in zoo's.
Great video Hickok. Boy I could write and write and write some more about my reenacting days (between 1983 and 1993, and what stories I could tell (about guys shooting their Rammers across the field during volleys, and the National Park Officers finding a cap in the cap pouch wool (uhoh written reprimand) during parades in Gettysburg, and I could go on and on, but what fun both reenacting and testing loads at the range - Whoo boy! Thanks again Hickok for the ride down memory lane. Tom KC3QAC
Why do they want to take down gun demos I love Hickok45
Because they want We The People disarmed so we can't fight back against their terrorism of our Constitution and freedom and become their controlled slaves, like the rest of the world.
Chip Doogie because they think you should care about butthurt mentally ill liberals should have a say about our constitution I think not sir
@Jon Dillon Just people that are anti-gun.
Hi history major here. First time ever watching your channel let alone anything on guns. Im currently doing Civil war research and learning about the Springfield and was curious to see how long they really take to load and how accurate they shoot. This video was honestly really cute I enjoy people that share their hobbies like this and I also found it really interesting!!! thank you
Black powder awesomeness, what a great antique! Great history lesson, thanks hickok!
How is the metal preserved or finished?
It is not blued and does not look browned?
I've only seen bluing on newer guns.
These guns were from an era where bluing was not availible of affordable. They were waxed to preserve them.
They were rust blued at the factory and there's probably a trace of that remaining.
These were manufactured "in the white*, that is to say with no blueing. Just the metal. Faster to manufacture and get out to the troops. Pretty common for military muskets from revolutionary war on.
We always carried a nipple pick and brush as
well as a wrench. Normal load was 60 grains of ffg.
Black powder for me has always given a more immediate
blast when I pull the trigger then black powder substitutes.
But, this is a cap N ball rifle and less cranky with
respect to substitutes. With a flintlock like
I usually use, black powder is the only way to go.
Minnie balls were preferred because as the barrel fouled
during a fire fight, it got extremely difficult to ram a patched ball
down the barrel. Believe me, you don't want to be farting around
trying to reload in the thick of battle any longer then necessary.
My family was in the Gettysburg area during the war and still lives in the Gettysburg area
so as a youngster I got a chance to
see these guns as well as shoot old stuff like real 1860 Henry rifles
using the actual .44 rimfire. I don't know who has that old Henry now but
I sure wish I had that baby today. Did get a Uberty
replica and love the thing. Your Springfield's are absolutely beautiful survivors.
Treasure them!!!!! Lot's of history there.
If you are shooting for fun it is not necessary to use 60 gr of powder and since GOEX is no longer made it is even more important to conserve powder. Now Swiss and Elephant are the two main powders. Swiss is clean but Elephant is more dirty as far as fouling is concerned. 45 - 48 grains is sufficient to send the bullet down range and accurately as well. N-SSA shooters never use full military charges and they are the most accurate shooters in the US. BTW you can use either 2fg or 3fg in a rifle musket. It may change the strike of your bullet some what but it is safe to use. I used 3fg because I also shot revolvers and they only use 3fg. That way I only had to have one size powder.
hickok you are like a friendly grandpa or uncle to all your viewers. thank you for the history and for the demo!
I dont like Muskets, but I like muzzleloading rifles!
THATS a difference 🤓
These are actually "rifles," too. They have rifling and are accurate.
I seen re-enactors use these and they’re absolutely beautiful.
The Man With No Name I wish we could see reenactors come to our school but sadly time changes.
Big Ben77 my group still goes to schools sometimes.
Ballpark Burgers I wish we can have em at my school
We are missing something in our modern times. These weren't merely "guns", feel there was more to it. Just look at that design, the wood, the shapes...it is amazing.
You stopped showing up on my recommend :( I some show just thought about your channel
I bet this gentleman is ex- military
The rifle was use by the union troop during the civil war.
No KATUSA, a troop is a cavalryman. They didn't use Springfield Rifle-Muskets in the US Civil War.
John Delich yeah they did, they used them by the thousands, in several different Springfield models- the M1816, M1842, M1855, M1861 and M1863. Might want to brush up on your history.
”Firing blanks… thats what reenactors fire… mostly”
Mostly? LOL 😂😂😂
You're right about the 75% price difference Hickok. A new reproduction Springfield will cost you $700/$950
used/new and an original you could pick up for $1,200/$1,500 but might be a little rough but functional.
$1500 for an original just like Hickok is firing????????????????? Really? Where can I buy one?
@@a1amm I said an original that might be a little rough. The “new like” condition his Springfield is would obviously be much more.
I have an 1864 Springfield 🇺🇸👍🏻
careful with that bump stock, high capacity magazine, and fully automatic weapon of mass destruction
What if you hit the gunpowder too hard and it ignites while the ramrod is still inside the rifle? 😨
Not how gun powder works but okay
It won't. You're thinking of percussion caps.
That sometimes happened in the Civil War--it was caused not by hitting the gunpowder, but by heat and/or live embers from the previous charge still being in the barrel. Hardee's and Casey's Tactics (the tactical manuals used in the War) taught the soldier to return the rammer with the pinky finger after loading, so if the charge did "cook off" it would only blow off that finger, rather than his entire hand. It also instructed the soldier to hold the barrel away from him while ramming the Minie ball down the barrel, for the same reason.
I just got one today at a gun show that was made in 1865 can't wait to fire it
There's definitely a relaxing and soothing effect from cleaning and maintaining something like an old rifle or anything else antique.

Virtual first shot
I am from Australia and I just had to buy myself an 1861 Springfield. I agree and can spend a whole day just shooting.
That would be so cool if you could follow that gun back in time through its history. The stories it could tell.
I would like to own one , but I'd have to get a bayonet for it.
I like how the spout on the powder tub is made of a cartridge case :D
And reenactors are not even allowed to use the ramrods. So there’s no risk of somebody leaving the ramrod in the gun, next thing you know someone is killed. You pour the powder into the barrel and you shake it and bounce the butt on the ground.
The Springfield sucks in BO Zombies
Andrew Hernandez If you packapunch it I think it’ll be a bit stronger or it had two barrels I don’t remember
Good to see some fellow cod zombie nerds
I just purchased one March 23rd, not as good as yours. I had quite a delay getting my payment through Canadian Customs and then it was shipped to LA Customs. It's out of Customs now and should be here in 3 days. I have to tell you, I'm anxious to see how well I can clean up the bore.
I love shooting my Armi-sport 1861 replica. It surprises me how accurate these rifles were considering the technology
The American rifle/musket, beginning with the 1855 pattern Springfield, used the .58 Minie Ball. The British Enfield Pattern 1853 rifle/musket used the .577 Conical bullet. In actual use, they were pretty much interchangeable. In either case, a 550 grain soft lead projectile, about 1/2" in diameter with a velocity of 1000-1200 FPS is DEVASTATING to the human body. It mushrooms upon impact to damn near an inch in Diameter; shatters bones, which makes amputation the only viable treatment and causes massive internal trauma to organs.
I really appreciate the historical aspect of Hickok's presentations! Such an introspective way to enjoy this sport!
When I hear the words "American Civil War" this is the rifle I think of
I'd like to watch some war footage and listen to your commentary throughout the film.
dude what i do is pack that powder in tight 3 strokes just to condense it .then the ball with patch
Дед, дай бог тебе здоровья и денег побольше! Ты сделал меня счастливым этой презентацией!
Yea he’s got plenty of money already!
I’m watching this on the day Abe Lincoln was killed. R.I.P, Honest Abe.
I've been watching your videos for many years, and I really just want to say thank you for using your life experience to effectively communicate your knowledge of and passion for firearms to a global audience. Your calm demeanor and easy laugh are indicative of a person who is secure in himself, and for that reason and more, you have been a real role model for a lot of people, myself included. You strip out all of the unnecessary political drama surrounding firearms, providing contextual, historical, and practical information in a realistic, safety-first setting, and you stand tall as a public icon for reasonably-minded gun owners and gun enthusiasts all over the world. You truly represent the best of us, and that is truly priceless in these times. When my girlfriend asks what I'm doing, I often reply, "Just watching Grandpa's gun videos." Thank you, Hickok45. You really are the man.
I just appraised an 1865 Springfieid Second Allin Conversion 50-70 Trapdoor Breech Loader for insurance for a customer, and in the process, we took it to the range! Great shooter, great conditiion, and customer very happy!!
NOT EVEN CLOSE TO FIRST WTF
What
why are you so obsessed about being the first comment
Let it go man, can't be first all the time. Let it go...
Let it go man, can't be first all the time. Let it go...
This dude could survive a zombie apocalypse like if you agree
Stock up on rifles guys
Matty Ice ww3 lmaoooo
Probably used in more assaults than anything in my safe... There was a special ball that had a zinc washer at the base. The Williams Cleaning bullet that was supposed to be used every 10 rounds. The theory was that the zinc washer would scrape out the fouling in the bore. In reality, not so much.... Black powder is scarce here in NW Oklahoma. I'll find some eventually.
Thats a nice Assault Rifle you got there sir
Oh, and keep it halfcocked after you fire, ALWAYS, you have to release the heated gas, especially if you are fast at loading the musquet.
That's pretty much what I've always done, for 50 years, but apparently, the "experts" seem certain that it's best to leave the fired cap on and not cock the hammer until you're reloaded. The idea is that any embers will die out without any oxygen getting to them.
I've always wanted to get that oxygen IN there as fast as possible so that anything left in there WOULD go ahead and burn up before I start loading again. I don't want to hold off the oxygen and cause the embers to remain alive in there.
Either way, in 50 years of shooting muzzleloaders, I've not had any issues.
Very informative! Thank you!
North south skirmish association shoots live round competition with those. I have shot them in competition. Also never load the musket with the hammer off the nipple. On some muskets you may blow your powder out the nipple.
Never had a problem with that in 50 years of muzzle loading; however, everybody has to do what he thinks is best.
First!
I'm Italian so it's hard for me to listen to these videos but I can't stop watching them this gentleman is always teaching me something new !
I just gotta ask, do you age sir? lol I've watched your videos from 2012, and then I jump to this video and you seem pretty much unaffected by time lol.
Nobody :
John marston after walking out of the thieves landing gun store :
my favorite gun in RDR1, not so good in RDR2 though
Thank you. I truly enjoyed the video. I am a Civil War Re-enactor and appreciate what you do. Depending on my impression, I carry a reproduction Springfield 61 or an Enfield 53. I have several original Civil War period muskets, cabins and pistols. Great fun to shoot live. Thanks Again. See you on your next video.

I use an 1862 Richmond.
Where you get that from? Don’t tell the dark web 😵
Just the sheer size of the bullet, im not surprised about how gruesome wounds would be at short range. Urgh.
Roughly how far away is hickok from the gong? Anyone good at estimating distances
@James thanks!
Greetings from Germany. I like your videos cause they're so educational. Keep on the good Job ;)
ppl who hate the musket in arsenal gang vvvvv
My favoite gun in both Red Dead Redemption games!
Alpha Chinoz this isnt even in red dead!!! The gun your probably talking about is based on the Springfield 1873 not the 1861
Big boi Ian yeah, you're probably right
Can you make your own custom revolver authentic
I would rather use bow and arrow instead of a musket lol so painful to reload it with all that cleaning and such
But when you have a line of twenty people you have time to reload
How does the patch “stick” to the cleaning rod?
Good question
I am extremely disappointed in this video. I was expecting to see it bump fired.
Where the heal you putt the bulets on that gun

Love your channel my friend
"I really feel sorry for people who didn't shoot this civil war gun..."🤣🤣🤣🤣
That sums the essence of this channel. You sir, are one of the kind.
