    Beautiful example of an early Colonial arm! The .75 serves a function as being a military caliber for a milita and deer hunting as well as being able to digest shot as an 11 gauge shotgun for birds. It doesn't surprise me that this Musket was so well taken care of by the original owner as it was literally a means of defense and to get meat on the table.
    Owning a Doglock myself, I think the extra safety measure is well worth it if you are going to tramp around the woods with this arm.

    You have quickly become one of my favorite channels on youtube and have sparked my curiosity and appreciation of these original old firearms. Excellent presentation as always. I hope that my flintlocks and cap-locks end up being enjoyed and appreciated a few hundred years from now just like you have done during the presentation.

      Thank you Hatchet Jack. I was afraid they might be too boring compared to the shooting videos, but I've recieved a lot of nice feedback about them.

    I wonder how many more decades before this history is lost to memory. Sure, there may be some literature still around, but who will take the time to read it. How many people are interested in reading about the Renaissance. There is a number and I am sure it will surprise anyone to know how small that number is. I am just glad to be interested in this of thing. But it's hard to find other interested people.

      Came here to say the same thing! I always wonder that when I see these old weapons. It could potentially go back to the very earliest days of the country.

    Rifles and knives like that, that look like they’ve been there and done that, are the ones I like best.
    Those that look like they have hung on the wall mostly, and are engraved and such, while interesting, take a back seat as far as I’m concerned

    Nice job detailing the dog lock, can you do stalking safety's also. I think the stalking safety should be incorporated in every muzzleloader used for hunting.

    I almost bought a reproduction of one of these. I thought it would be so cool and unique and add to the fun tediousness of the black powder experienced. Then I handled one. Yeah. They went extinct for a reason LOL. The manual of arms was highly annoying and I could totally see how forgetting what I was using would be unsafe.

    Must be awesome to stop in there and get the glove treatment.
    Any plans of getting a modern made ML double rifle or side-by-side smooth bore for your own collection/channel?

    • @ILoveMuzzleloading
      @ILoveMuzzleloading  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s great, best part is anyone can get the glove treatment during their “preview days”. Free food too!
      I have an original 19th c side by side percussion gun I’d like to play with in 2023, but a review and purchase of one by Pedersoli or another maker is certainly on my radar.

      @@ILoveMuzzleloading Looks like with Kodiak Express MK3 you can have a double rifle in .50, .54, or .58 and order it with an extra set of smooth 12 gauge barrels. Or Safari Express if you want .72/10ga.

    As for the nail holding the buttplate tang down, its likely not original, but a lot of times they would set a small square nail in the stock to act as a hook under which sits whatever they were trying to secure. This is to keep everything flush so you don't have screws or nails sticking out, snagging on things. You see this method a lot for holding on backlock percussion locks.

      Thank you for sharing Krockpot! I think you are right, snag-less was key to these functioning times.

    Great vid. The sideplate definitely has a unique look to my admitted untrained eyes. Interesting about that groove/cut on the barrel possibly being intended as a sight. Like you said, a very utilitarian design suited for early colonial life.

    Gorgeous musket. I do have a question (though not exactly on topic); have you gone to an N-SSA match? I think they'd be right up your alley. Its a marksmanship competition with Civil War era weaponry and in (fairly loose) period correct uniforms. If you haven't seen their stuff, I think you'd really dig it.

      @@ILoveMuzzleloading I hope you do some day! My grandpa was on the skirmish line since the 80's before he passed and took me with him to the national shoots every year. If I had to recommend a shoot to go to, the Fall Nationals at Fort Shenandoah are the best (in my opinion).

    Definitely not European. If I'm not mistaken tnhe stock architecture is French while everything else is English. I've always had a thing about early locks and this one is definitely a transitional lock.Any thougnhts? I enjoyed the review.

    • @ILoveMuzzleloading
      @ILoveMuzzleloading  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you could be right, the research on this shows it being made in a period with a lot of influence from both countries. I wouldn't be surprised if the stock was French influence with English parts. Thoughts?
