Thanks for sharing. I have been picking up old brown guns and removing so much brown patina, there is actually bluing underneath. Save them, don't neglect them!
Thank you! And I couldn't have said that better myself.
I always find it very upsetting when I look at a very important ,rare or just iconic firearm that has so much red rust patina that you can see it has started damaging the gun. Then someone buys it ,puts it on a shelf. they think that reddish-brown patina is what it should look like. They think if they remove that patina it'll kill the gun value. you're right I have found beautiful blueing under that rust patina.
Not alot of people know about converting red rust to black oxide. I cant wait to see more videos with this gun. I always enjoy your videos always seem to learn something from each one.
Thanks brother. If you want to hear a mystery. Put you headphones on and go to 1:14 secs and hit play. Turn it all the way up. You will hear a explosion. The video really didnt pick it up like real life the foor and house shook. The area that the explosion happened was over 2 miles away
@@snappers_antique_firearms I don't have no head phones buddy
@@A.R.American1 you will be able to hear it without headphones. Headphones just make the explosion more noticeable but trust me you'll easily be able to hear it
love seeing those inside workings, cheers mate
Glade you enjoyed it steve
Preach it brother! Show 'em how it's done!👍
Thanks wade.. i am waiting for the day i hear from you saying. thats a crazy stupid thing to do...whats wrong with you snapper.😁
@@snappers_antique_firearms Never happen! I look upon you as a young version of me long ago. Driven by a thirst for knowledge, combined with an overwhelming fascination with all things about firearms from an almost forgotten time. Its a shame we didn't live down the road from eachother. Not to sound like a primadonna, but I sure could teach you some more of the old school ways. As it is, I'll add anything I can to help you. I'm a firm believer in the old saying "Knowledge that is not passed on is wasted." I'll help in any way I can. You have my word on that.
@@anangryranger i am not going to lie i really wish you did live near me. It would be so amazing to learn for a master in the old ways of gun smithing. I agree with you so much knowledge has been lost. We have to save what we have left. I love trying to ReDiscover lost knowledge.. but you never know if you have it right.
@@anangryranger o for something crazy happed in this video. Go to 1:14 threw 1:17 turn your volume way up. You will hear a explosion. That explosion was over 2 miles away. I am in Arizona right now at my parent's old place. We are moving everything out and selling the place. And the place is in the getto. That explosion i was told it was a meth lab that blew up. In real life it was much louder and shook the ground and the house. Even caused pictures to fall
@@snappers_antique_firearms Yeah, I heard the thump. Yup, you really need to get that place sold and relocate yor family ASAP, if you haven't already done so!
We were about to raid a lab, and I was 200ft away when a meth-head inside did something stupid and the place blew. It knocked me off my feet! This sure not the American I grew up in. Be safe mi amigo!
👍👍👌👌
Keep it up snap 1000 is just around the corner
Trust me i am full speed trying to get there a 6 videos made already and not released and 1 is a short
Go and listen to 1:14-1:16. Remember that explosion I was telling you about. Put in headphones and turn the volume up. The the explosion ended up being two miles away. I know it dont sound that loud but in person the foor and house shook. Thats why theres a cut in the video right after.
@Snappers antique firearms Unlimited (snafu) wow i heard it even without headphones
@@snappers_antique_firearms I had to play it back at a higher volume. I thought it was just part of the soundtrack.
@@squiblift2019 no it was a very large explosion. Like i said it was much louder and you could feel it.
Could you do an episode on how to preserve a rifle considering the barrel might be hard to boil in water
i dont have any thing at the moment that i can do that with. Only thing i have thats not a modern gun is a old double barrel muzzleloading shotgun. I Hope to get a original winchester 1873 soon. Then I'll absolutely do it for you. I still boil it in water. I build a container thats long enough to fit the rifle barrel and receiver. Its very cheap and eazy to build one. I go to home depot or lows or whatever place you can find metal gutters like the one on a houses roof . Buy a length of gutter thats long enough. Now you need to buy the cap ends of the gutter. I install each side with silicone. Now you have a long metal pot basically. then I put a propane turkey cooker under the gutter /metal pot. The silicone handles the heat just fine. Bring it to a boil and do the same steps as the pistols. 🤠
@@snappers_antique_firearms thanks for the steps
Check out the Cinnabar site for video (he is a classic firearms gunsmith) on rust bluing He made a steamer tube out of big piece PVC suspended over an old pressure cooker that he hangs barrels in to covert red rust to blue.in like 30 minutes DJ
@@dorisjohnson8857 i enjoy cinnabars channel. He said he was going to the las vegas antiques arm show. but I did not see him there.
that IS interesting!
Thanks gray
😎👍🇺🇸
Am I crazy, or is your table like, melting? lol
Yeah its crazy hot here. 😁..sorry i couldnt help myself. Its a wood table painted black. Must be a trick of the camera.
Dear Snapper: I have a Pedersoli Replica 1873 Springfield Trapdoor Carbine 45/70. How much, if any, disassembly would you recommend to clean it after shooting with black powder cartridges? DJ
Well that would all depend on how much you shoot it. I enjoy cleaning my guns. i personally take them completely apart every time. But if you aren't to big into cleaning. I would do simple cleaning after you get home from shooting. Making sure to get all the major stuff. Like the boar. After every 5 times taking it Out to shoot. or if you know you wont be shooting it for a long time. Then completely disassemble the firearm to clean it very well. Hot water and soap is by far the best way to clean black powder. After that i use ballistol mixed with water when I clean. Works great..
Thats a very cool carbine by the way. I want to get my hands on one as well.
@@snappers_antique_firearms Thank you so much for your reply. I recently got the urge to shoot BP in it, as it was meant for. Great fun!
I always fully disassemble and clean my revolvers same day but wasn't sure about the Trapdoor. Didn't want to over-or underdo it. I too use Ballistol "Moose Milk" to clean with and a high pressure steam cleaner I got from Walmart (as posted by "Snapshot's Corner" from Norway. Video) Really speeds things up. Your videos are so interesting and informative. Love them so thank you for them too.
❤ DJ
@@dorisjohnson8857 its perfectly okay to disassemble each trying to clean. Thats how i normally do it. I am going to have to check out this steam cleaner. That sounds interesting. Thanks again DJ
P.S. Distilled water in steamer of course
@@snappers_antique_firearms "Costway Multifunction Portable Steamer Household Steam Cleaner 1050W W/Attachments $35.99" is the one I got and still listed there under High Pressure Steamer Be sure to check out Snapshots Corner's video on steam cleaning and how he made a long nozzle attachment out of brake line for rifle barrels. Let me know if you get one and how it works for you and if you have any questions Sure saves time and patches and leaves metal very clean hot for quicker drying. DJ
