Best quote I've ever heard 😀🍻
Definitely the best quote for experimental science.
Czech beer
Man that's a cool design. When zombie apocalypse comes I will need to remember that one as it looks much easier to produce new tubes in the field than percussion caps.
Fascinating!
Hi Othias!
I always enjoy your videos, especially the ones about historical European firearms. I think that sometimes we Americans tend to forget that there is a whole world's worth of unique firearms out there that weren't invented by John Moses Browning or Sam Colt.
Bravo!... That pistol has some report! 60grs! Wow. It's interesting to see how much of a "event" happens at the lock upon firing... Lots of sparks. Might this be due to a somewhat larger flash hole left over from the flintlock version of the weapon and the resulting escape of gas? You have certainly made another fantastic video. Excellent method of making the priming tubes. Great dedication to the history. Hat's off.
+britishmuzzleloaders The flash hole is not larger than the hole on a musket nipple. I think that the flash you see is caused by the larger amount of ifnition powder. 2 times more than in a regular musket cap.
Fascinating! After a lifetime of firearms geekery, I thought I knew every kind of lock, but you've just introduced me to a new, and rather clever, one.
My Czech heart melted when you picked up Pilsen beer and said "it needs a good beer"
Happy you like our brews
Fascinating. I had never before heard of the tubelock. Looks like you had fun shooting it, and I had fun learning about it. Be well, sir.
Thumbs Up for the Non-Flinch at 10:26! No way I could have done that. Nice job, and thanks for the video.
I find your videos of history and shooting vintage and historic firearms some of the best. the Console-'Augustin pistol is one I have only briefly heard of. I commend you on your ability to produce the priming and the historical way you tested the loads. I too am a student of the history of firearms and love shooting my different era pistols and rifles.
I look forward to seeing more. Oh How I would like to meet up during one of my European travels. thanks for the work and great videos.
I have to say, your explanations on these old firearm systems is outstanding. I have learnt so much and find it interesting and insightful Thank you for your time along with all the enjoyment you bring us.
I love that gun and I really enjoy the history you include. Thank you for posting.
Another great video demonstration, I've been watching for a few years now, and haven't been disappointed yet.
I love the European weapons videos. I've seen so many videos of American early firearms but it's great to learn about European firearms history.
Cap & Ball, this was the first time I have seen or heard anything about the tinder lock or the tube lock. Outstanding history lesson. Thank you. I enjoyed you method of making percussion tubes, too.
Thanks for such an informative vid on the ol'pistol with a firing system I have never seen or heard of...fine job as always!
This one's new for me. Kinda like the grandfather of percussion caps. Very interesting.
Excellent content. There was information about the transition from flint to percussion that I had never even read about before, and it was followed up by demonstrations. Fantastic.
Excellent demonstration ! as always! Keep up the great work, always a pleasure to watch your videos.
I have always liked this chap's presentations!
You had me at "Beer"!! Seriously though, your videos are MAGNIFICENT with a perfect blend of historical fact and practical firearms use. Many Thanks from the UK.
Anyone who recognizes Pilsner Urquell as a fine beer is clearly a man of good taste and discrimination.
+George Erdner :)
I have to 100% agree. The beer segue brought this video to an entirely different level of excellence.
capandball Howdy ,This I an interesting lock ,but how was this any cheaper/easier than conversion to a regular percussion cap lock? Looks quite complicated,and a little delicate compared to a standard percussion lock.Also how was it easier to train troops to use this compared to a percussion lock? Seriously curious about this!
Percussion caps are quite small and therefor very difficult to reload under combat stress or on a moving horse. This system offered a more "militia-friendly" alternative; the percussion tube was attached to the cartridge preventing soldiers from loosing one or the other part and saving reload time, the bigger parts reduced fumbling and the conversion allowed the soldiers to use the guns they were already familiar with. Also keep in mind that in military matters the Habsburg Monarchy wasn't the best judge of what was and was not practical.
Absolutely beautiful video. Your presentation just keep getting better and better!
You got me so inspired with this video that I ended up hunting down a M1842 Musket with original tube lock system. Had to get it in Europe since they are almost impossible to find in the US due to all of them being converted to percussion during or before their importation in the 1860s. Looking forward to making these tubes! Thank You
Excellent production values. Very professional and very interesting. Many thanks
I always enjoy your videos. Thank-you from the UK!
Cool, just cool. Never heard of a tube lock until I watched this vid. Fascinated.
Excellent video. Not only is the subject matter interesting to me, but a lot of people don't appreciate all the camera setup, editing a post-production you would've done with the voiceover.
That is a sweet pistol. Interesting how the caps are made with the old children's cap gun caps. Another outstanding video sir.
Have never seen that type of pistol before. Thank you for another wonderful video.
When I was a kid, I used to "reload" ammo using home made black powder. I reloaded the primers with cap pistol powder which I mixed with water. I put a disk of paper from a paper punch over the priming and pushed the anvil in. We tried to find bullets that were not to badly damaged. Also, I reloaded .22 rimfire cartridges by painting the inside of the rim with wet cap powder. When it dried, the home made black powder and a recovered .22 bullet. Instead of reloading dies, pliers were used to crimp the mouth oc the shell.
Your non-American accent makes this so much better, hahah. Seriously some of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Phenomenal quality, educational, and entertaining.
I've just recently taken an interest in these older weapons, and you've been a phenomenal source of information on them.
Have met Ian from Forgotten Weapons? I think you two would get along well. :-)
+acklan3 Not yet, but that surely would be fun :)
+capandball yes it would. Maybe some day.
+acklan3 Ian does not cover these sorts of firearms very often. Your knowledge would certainly compliment his.
+megazilla 941 Ian does cover firearms like these, if they are an unusual design.
megazilla 941 with all do respect Ian has covered many weapons that have been converted from flintlock to percussion and to metallic cartridge. He also covers many rare and unusual designs. In one of his last videos he cover a stacked percussion design. It had several locks that fired from a single barrel.
Both, this and Forgotten Weapons, are a treat and compliment each other.
Very much agree on the subject of beer. That comes after the range, not before. If one enjoys a few before, bad times happen, instead of good times enjoyed after the range session.
@ 10:00 NO FLINCH!!!! I am impressed, Sir! Also, a great video about a very beautiful (and previously unknown to me) old pistol! Bravo, Sir!!
Once again, great job and great video.
finally ! i have been waiting for this video for a year and some change lol well done
Thx Capandball this was a new ignition way for me !
Fascinating. Beautifully done. Thanks.
what a great piece of history and video examining it. thank you.
Interesting and informative presentation as usual.
I have one in my collection. thank you for the tutorial on making the caps.
I absolutely love your videos.
So good! And you're really sympathetic!
As always !! Super video !!
thank you for the upload. i did not even know that something like this "locking system" exists. very interesting.
Great channel, glad I found it.
Thank you this finally identifies a rifle I picked up in Germany years ago. It is a converted flintlock with the frizzen (hammer) modified.
I was puzzled as to what it is and how it works and now I know.
Another very interesting video with really neat gun
Great show and history lesson . Thanks
Very interesting mechanism. It's always interesting to see how many solutions people posed to the problems of ignition in the post flintlock period.
Thank you for this video, it has inspired me to cast my own version of this beautiful little lock
THATS SOMETHING IVE NEVER SEEN. WHAT A STRANG WAY TO FIRE A PISTOL. IT MIGHT OF HAD A CHANCE TO CHANGE FIREARMS FOR EVER. VERY RARE PISTOL FOR SURE.
Great video! I've always wanted to shoot a tubelock gun. Had no idea the tubes were that simple to make!.
BEST EASTER EVER! Because you uploaded another black powder video!
Pilsner Urquell is a rare favorite when I can find it!
Oh wow! I had never guessed. Your English is excellent. It appears that Hungary enjoys the shooting sport and ownership of firearms. I enjoy watching watching your videos and always learning something new!
Fantastic video once again. You really do produce quality content. I am surprised you don't have more views.
Keep it up brother!
+Baron Lipton It is not an easy job to increase the views and subscribers, but I am on it.
+Baron Lipton : I think it is probably due to the fact that there are more people interested in the boring, fully automatic black guns, and the interesting Black Powder guns are seen as old, therefore there are a lot of people missing out on a whole area of interest, but that leaves more for us to enjoy!
very cool and interesting blackpowder design! great video
That is fascinating and what an interesting story too. Thanks for that.
The holes that thing made!
Now that was very interesting, I have only read about tube lock. Nice to see one in action.
You have an amazing collection of black powder firearms. Very interesting videos.
A very interesting piece of history. I had no knowledge of this type. A very capable Pisol. I love black powder shooting.
Very cool! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!! Very interesting, and I think a very rare musket design, including making the tubes. The beer scene is just fantastic in a fun way :)
Thank you for another great video! Production quality is excellent.
Ive never heard of the tubelock before. Seems like an efficient system, and a very quick locktime too. I do wonder why it didnt catch on for other flintlock conversions.
That has a very satisfying bang in that range.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Yes, fascinating! I too was unaware of this lock type.
Another beautiful old firearm.....love the combination of wood and metal so much more than the modern trend of plastic and metal.
10:00 Outstanding follow-through, not even a hint of a flinch!
That was very cool and very informative.
Love this stuff. They are not tack drivers but would do the job. Hate to be on the receiving end of one of these.
+capandball ... A tube lock musket review would be great, as this was very interesting ! thanks for sharing this !
Never seen the tube lock before, but that pistol is a beauty for sure! Nice vid. Very informative :-) Subbed!
This one is entirely new to me. VERY interesting!
happy easter!
WOW what a great video
It looks and sounds so different when shooting this gun than with other muzzleloaders. I never realized how significant the delay is with other lock types.
Super Interesting. Cheers from California.
One of my favorite beers.
Enjoy your videos a lot very interesting
Very interesting, thank you for sharing.
Interesting conversion.
great video thanks for share this beautiful guns and i hope to see more videos
Thank.you for explaining the tube lock primer.
Great video, again!!! Thanks!!!
No better words have been spoken then at 3:55. Truly wise words! 😁
Fantastic!
Pilsner Urquell is the best! I've never seen it in Aluminum cans, we can get it here in Idaho in bottles though :)
Excellent process making the brass tubes.
+JRhoney It would be a bit harder from glass :)
what an interesting lock mechanism.
You did much better this time than in your Augustin vs Lorenz pistol video. Its kind of a wonder why the tubelock never caught on, though bearing in mind that percussion cap guns were very shortlived. Here in the states, the first military rifle to use caplock systems was in 1842 and there were already cartridge arms by 1862.
I think I'm in love!!!...
+murpheysmuskets :)
incredible!
...just EXCELLENT.
Many thanks..!
Good video.
I had never even heard of this kind of lock! I really do love this channel.
Pilsner Urquell ! My favorite!
very interesting system
