Very nice musket! Many of these 1816s were converted to percussion locks in the 1840s and 50s and used extensively in the early years of the American Civil War. Rifles like the 1861 Springfield wouldn't become widely available until the latter part of 1863.

How did you go about inspecting the piece before firing it? I also own a model 1816 made in 1836 from Harper's Ferry, and after watching this video, I'm inspired to shoot it. Can you share what steps you took to ensure its safety? By the way, fantastic video! Really enjoyed it.
To be brutally honest, safety is never a guarantee with these old guns. I can only inspect it to make sure I feel confident enough that it won’t explode on me. I cleaned and checked the bore to make sure there wasn’t any deep pitting. I pulled the barrel and made sure there weren’t any cracks inside the stock or deep pits under the stock line. Then I took out the lock plate to make sure the mechanisms were all in good shape and the hammer held strong in both positions. Then I used reduced powder charges
@@TenaciousTrilobiteGreat run down, thanks for the response! I have a bore snake camera that I’ll use when the time comes. I didn’t think about inspecting the inside of the stock for cracks as well. What a great piece of history, hope to see more of it! Cheers
The guns were made to be shot, and a basic inspection is usually all I’ve ever done to ensure safety. Look for signs of severe rust in crucial areas, or cracking in the stock. If you are really unsure, just take it to a local gunsmith and ask them to inspect it.
@TenaciousTrilobite Forgive a somewhat lightly-informed opinion, but to my knowledge this is due to the accumulation of residue inside the barrel, right? I'd heard that soldiers would often carry slightly smaller balls than the bore to counteract this in the field.
@redeye4516 yea black powder fouling builds up quickly. Even more of a pain in a rifled bore. He's blowtubing it between shots, but not really giving it enough. The moisture in your breath will absorb into the fouling and soften it again, making it easier to load.
@@Yeettto roblox veteran in the literal sense means you have an account on roblox older than 1 years old and if you're veteran I am pretty sure you'd agree it's not the same game anymore
Close, it is a newer model of the very first, the first being the '95, and officially the ''99 version which is considered the first model Springfield in the family.
My advice as well for this is you do not load paper down, but ball end down, it will help better with loading even when fouled. Also it was in our drill manuals to do so.
I don't know proper physics, but here's what I understand about muzzleloaders and how they work. If you pack it tightly then pressure increases gradually, slowly, and it PUSHES the projectile. If you leave a gap, then it will be more like a hit, because there will be no resistance, so it becomes an actual explosion that will put way more pressure on walls of the barrel than you'd want
Muskets are my favorite gun, specifically because of the reload. Normal LMGs take like 10 seconds but this, about 20 to 30 seconds if done quick, an entire minute if you've never done one before. Not like I wanted to wield one at all.
Was it the Revolutionary War, where one of the prerequisites in order to enlist was that you needed your front teeth, so that you could bite into the paper cartridge?
It was the Napoleonic wars where that exact requirement was needed, but it was pretty much a mandatory requirement to be able to enlist up until the breechloaders were adopted

If you notice, every shot was getting progressively harder to ram down. Especially the lst shot which was like the 4th one i believe. Black Powder guns foul VERY quickly. Much faster than you may think. And by about the 4th shot once you have accumulated a bunch of fouling you are literally ramming the ball against all that debris and fouling which makes it extremely difficult
@TenaciousTrilobite from what I've seen, most flintlock muskets came in .50 (which was considered light and was used on cavalry), .54, .60, .64 (maybe) and the biggest I saw was either a .70 or .74
@@claptrap4084 This is .69, which was the US/French standard for infantry muskets. The British used .75 in their Brown Besses. Rifle calibers tended to be smaller. Usually the .50 to .60 range as you said
Whilst there weren't any ironsights for these in the modern sense the land and India pattern muskets could use the breach screw and bayonet mount to line up the barrel With this the barrel bands could be lined up

What happens if you don't push the shot all the way down? Does the musket jam?
I think it just becomes slower
The round could squib, but if theres enough powder it usually will just fly out of the barrel slower and less accurate
If you leave an air gap between the powder and the projectile, it could cause a pressure spike and possibly blow the gun up
I don't know proper physics, but here's what I understand about muzzleloaders and how they work.
If you pack it tightly then pressure increases gradually, slowly, and it PUSHES the projectile.
