All right sides 45 here and welcome to. My youtube channel and if you've watched. My intro for my channel you'll see what. Kind of what I'm about as far as the videos that i post but if you haven't i. Post videos that made with my dji phantom 4 drone and i have a little aerial photography business I'm trying to start up and also talk about my other. Passion which is firearms and shooting and collecting and things like that and. So often in my videos i shout out to. Channels that i like and appreciate and what got me into the youtube making youtube videos is from watching youtube really good youtube channels and so Hickok 45 iraq veteran 8888 Douglas. 1954 military arms channel infancy. Just some of the channels that i watched. Got me interested in different firearms maybe i wasn't interested in before or and i said actually inspired me to do. Some of my own videos for what it's worth and i don't expect to garner there the same following i just like to put in this just opportunity for me to put in my two cents and maybe help somebody and some aspect of one or. Another you know so today I'm going to talk about and if you've watched my other videos you may see me wearing the same clothes because I'm doing three or four videos in one day and today I'm. Going to talk about in this video i want to talk about the peter soli Kentucky. Pistol kit and i got this idea from. Watching Douglas 1954 build flintlock rifles and. He goes and visits some of these forts. And historic forts and things like that. And reenact you know where there's a lot of reenactors and manufacturers of modern manufacturers of vintage style. Farms and powder horns and things like that and so i was like well hey you know my brother did this when we were teenagers he built a thing was a thompson center a flintlock or. Percussion rifle kit and so actually it. Was like was a it was a hawking rifle. That he built so i thought well with the. Difficulty of finding primers and and for cut or. Percussion caps then i would I'm sorry. My dog was interrupting me with the difficulty of finding percussion caps for percussion pistols and rifles i. Thought well flintlock sounds like an easier way to go because i could find black powder and you can find flint's but it was harder to find the caps and I've had both rifles but in pistols. Percussion but i decided I'd go with the. Just for looking at reviews and things like that I'd go with the peter solely pistol kit just to start off and see if. I could replicate what other these with these other fire and manufacturers we're. Doing like rust rusting a barrel pinning. The barrel things like that and so here. Is my product this is not excuse me not. The premier kit and I'm kind of looking at my phone to make sure I've got this. The video camera pointed properly and so. This like says the peter sully flintlock. Kentucky pistol kit and it comes with. The brass mostly unfinished so there's a. Lot of parts or especially these son stays for this cleaning rod or these. Guides for the cleaning rod are sand cast brass and so you have to do a lot. Of filing and using a steel wool to. Polish those up and get those smooth and looking like they do now with some tarnishing and then the trigger. Guard i thinks is wax cast but most. Parts like said you spend a lot of time on this kit fussing with the cleaning of. The brass and then of course the finishing of the wood the hookah pistol. Was a hundred i can't i can't remember what i paid for the pistol i got it from dixie gun works so it was really not a review on pricing but i wanted to talk. About how i built this particular pistol and I'm going to zoom in let you see what (differently) than what the manufacturer suggested that i do this is a walnut. Stock it's not maple and it's got a. Hexagonal barrel which six sides and so. You worry about when you're doing these. Fine finishing of the barrel to get it. Ready for rusting or bluing you really. Don't have to worry about the bottom three sides as much and so i worried. More about filing down and preparing the. The top three sides for this barrel the. Sights are deserting it's already. Beveled cut out for the sights and your. Lock which is what i found out was true of even manufacturers in the 18th century as the locks are already finished and built, and they would even. Order them from europe and then build rifles and install locks and stuff like that if i and I've read several things where they talked about doing that and so the lock just comes intact and ready to go and so your concern really is the metal and the wood. Other than the lock and in this. Particular pistol and I'm gonna do a. Little close-up here just let's see here. So this particular pistol the things. That hold the barrel on are this tang screw here in the back there you can see. That and then they have a full display. Near i doubt they have a cap brass cap. Barrel cap at the end which has a screw. Okay and that screws into the barrel. Through the wood and that's all that's. Holding this barrel on well watching. Douglas 1954 building a rifle he was. Showing how he and the it was i think it. Was a it was a it might have been a. Peter so like it could've been something from track of the wolf where he was on installing barrels. Stays I'll call them and then pizza he's. Basically pinning the barrel in and so what I'm going to show you on this pistol is i did this to this just to see if i could do it practicing on this feeder silly kid i know you'll see several pins along here. And you'll see that they correlate with. The cleaning rod guides so there's two. Pins that correlate with those but then i insert ion beveled the bottom of the. Barrel and installed barrel stays a comp. Barrel stays a beveled using Douglas. 19:54 procedures i and I'm not going to. Knock them out to show you but because you can watch his videos but i just so. You'll know i you'll see a pin here and. A pin here where i installed barrel. Stays and pin the barrel down so this barrel is not coming up at all i use actually ten penny nails for my pins and. Just follow them down they gave me pins but i just opted to use my own pin since. I just use nails and it worked out. Pretty good I've shot this pistol and it. Works as far as accuracy goes i had. Found the sweet spot yet but then it. Functions and that's the hardest thing. About building this pistol I'm gonna send back out. Right there first thing my villainous pistol is finishing the wood Douglas 1954. Talks a lot about how to finish the walnut to make it smoother because it's. Very grainy wood i struggled with that. Overdoing the varnish i guess you call. It thins at the sealant so in and so it's. I had a lot of buildups and i had to strip it and do it again and there's some couple inconsistencies. On the handle but for what it is and you. Can see you can see how it really turned. Our pretty well it's i didn't in when i. When i did the hand staining and rubbing. The stain in i didn't do what he suggested which was to get rid of. Some pitting or grain to smooth out some of the grain in here is you use the dust from the sanding and you work. It into the wood i didn't do that so you. See if you see some parking natural. Parking of the wood because it's walnut. And not maple but like it is what it is. And it turned out really well and people that have seen it we're fairly impressed not hard to do so don't be intimidated I'm not a craftsman by anything as far. As rusting the barrel i just followed the directions and took an old trash can. And create and used the lid and i was. Able to hang the barrel in the trash can suspend it with wire with the with. The with a bucket of water in there and yeah you apply the resting inhibit. Or not inhibitor but i guess you'd say. Solution and then rust really fast when. You put it in with some hot water in a closed-in area and then you have to knock off that surface rest do it in yes. And treat it and then do it again and comes out pretty good now it will. Continue to rust on you i ended up getting a slight amount of pitting which makes it a very realistic looking pistol because i was no the lighting is. Quite as good for you to see that then adjusts you really probably can't. You can't really see the pitting not. Sure you can or no I'm just looking at my phone but i continue to rush so i. Would take it out of the case now and then and i would knock that rest down and oil it keeps the barrel oil once when you rest the barrel you oil it keeps them all on it and keep it from. Picking up more moisture and pitting it. Doesn't look bad at all it looks very antique ish that's a word and so i. Highly recommend for your first project to get the peter solely Kentucky pistol. Flintlock version kit and like so i. Bought this one from dixie gun works and then watch Douglas 1954 videos I'm. Building a flintlock rifles and get some. Ideas and there's I'm sure there's other good videos out there but i like to do shoutouts to my favorite channels and watch those videos and you'd be. Surprised and you will it's a labor of love for sure and you really have to be dedicated to it because it takes some time i spent a lot of time just filing on the you know smoothing that brass out but it turns out you can see. Except for some of the varnish you can. See how well that turned out i mean sand. Casting is very crude but it turned out. Really well and then i was surprised. At how easily i was able to you know as all matters about having the right tools how easy it was to bevel the barrel and put those stays in and it's, and he. Covers dual smudging for through work covers that in his video to is about how to line up your pens and your stays. And when you're drilling holes in your stock to pin the barrel because you don't want you know you don't you know. You don't want obviously to drill. Unnecessary holes or drill holes on and. Then have your you know and have your stock kind of loose in the you know have kept too much gap or something like that. And you know between the fit of the barrel and the wood you know it's not free floated by any stretch of the imagination but i suppose you could do that if you. If you chisel out the channel a. Lot more and you just had your your. Pins or you're holding the barrel onto. The stock but still you're going to have some you know i don't i don't know if. That's really going to help you a lot i think the idea is to have that. Barrel well seated within that channel and then pin that in as tightly as possible you don't want a bunch of movement so you get the same barrel harmonics for what it's worth with a. Flintlock pistol or rifle but there you. Go thanks for watching.

Welcome back everybody back on the workbench again today i wanted to do a. Response video for a request I've had. I've actually had a bunch of requests to see blacker powder builds and more. Black powder guns in general and I've got quite a few so I'm gonna break out. My most recent build now this is. The gun that started out as this was purchased again from an auction like. Some of my previous videos that was. Helping out a fellow that needed some. Surgery bills paid so i assisted him by participating in. This auction as much as i could um this. Gun did not go for much this is just a. Kid gun that somebody had built very. Poorly very poorly being the. Philadelphia derringer I'm not even sure. The brand all this says it's paint on the barrel and I'm gonna guess that it's the jew car brand ju kar I've got some. Other black-powder firearms I'll show. You those one called the colonial pistol. I believe it was called you see lots of. Those around missing their front sights because people didn't know how to attach. That front sight well enough because it. Was actually had to be soldered into. Place so this one required a lot of work. And I'll show you this is just a photograph but I'll show you what i saw when i saw it on lines things such as the tang standing proud the crooked. Decorative surround on the pin for the. Barrel how proud all the metal was. You can't see in this photograph but none of the brass was polished out it was still pretty rough cast and you can. See hardly any shaping was done to the stock it was left pretty well as. It came from the fact smoothed out somewhat I'm sure because. Of the lack of lines in it you see all these lines that should be present they. Were sanded completely flat and then. Like most of these inexpensive kit guns. Let me pull another photograph here unfortunately i don't have any footage. Of these because i didn't even think to. Do it as i just dived in and was anxious to get going on this firearm but you. Again see how proud the tang of the. Barrel is how proud the fitment of the. Metal is here to the stock again. The bulbous stock and just a washer this. One is a recessed type washer to hold. The lock screw in place and you can see. Maybe in the picture just says spain here and a low so very low silat serial. Number and but i liked the firearm some. Of the more modern versions of these are lacking some of the brass on it and i. Decided well let's go ahead and buy this. I always wanted a little derringer these very small guns and that's a i could absolutely bring in what i ended up. Building here's the finished firearm let. Me zoom out just a little bit and. There's what it into that bad i finished. It quite a bit darker I'm still working on the finish to get it to darkened down even more takes time just do it with an old-fashioned oil rub and there's. Some other methods that we can throw in there to help darken it and let's take a. Look at what i did and bring it forwards. A little bit so you can get a closer look you can see the tang on the. Barrel is now fairly flush there were. Some fitment issues with the side. Lock which i couldn't really see repairing going into the they were cut a. Little bit wide on the lock various. Places i was able to straighten up that. Decorative piece that goes around the barrel pin reshape the stock. As you can see a little bit more of a derringer say shape a little bit especially on the rear end i bring it in. You can see how much irish aped it and. Brought the lines back out around. The lock then I'm going to have it and. Added a few derringer like fittings we. Polish the brass out got his smooth I'll let it tarnish down and you'll have a. Much better look once the tarnishes added a little typical derringer butt. Plate on it resembles it derringers. Usually have a shield up on top i added. My own version of that and then a nose. Cap this original barrel had a bunch of fillers underneath it just wood filler. And that wood filler had to come out and. The barrel lowered down into its channel that means these the pin that supports. The barrel had to be lowered which required filling them and i think it. Came out pretty good they're invisible for the most part i know where to look i. Can see where some of the fills are the. Screws i ordered as replacements. Replacement parts are still available and these were in steel rather than in. Brass which i kind of liked the look of. The steel screws and on the fittings on. The butt plate that was just a brass piece i made out of an old block a head laying or a lock plate had lying around. Shaped it to fit the the butt stock. On this gun and then screwed it into. Place i restored a 1967 jaguar e-type at. One time and that was a trim screw that was leftover slotted screws in wood. Screws are sometimes difficult to find for me living in a smaller town and so i. Saved pretty much everything and the same with that screw that's off that 67 jaguar e-type just. Shaped it to the shape i needed and used. It also i might point out this nose cap. I did not shape it's a very thick. Nose cap and that was from a original. Brown bass from the 1700s in though if you can see it there's a few cracks and. Stress fractures or just fractures that. Were there one was molded it was broken so no worries there i didn't destroy a valuable piece it was broken but i had. Enough of that nice brass left to create. This nose cap as an original. Derringer would have with something. Resembling it we also added a lock plate. The original derringer would have been quite a bit more elaborate than that with engraving but i added that give it. More of a derringer to look you can see how small the gun is it just a hair. Longer than my hand i can only fit two. Fingers on almost two fingers on it that's how small these little things are. This one is in 45 calibers it's not. Loaded so don't worry the bluing i over. Blowed it was not in bad shape when i. Got it so i didn't do much with that i was actually considered browning it like. Browning guns i will show you that some. Other guns i have browned in the future. We'll take a look at that and so that. That was a real inexpensive kit these are selling for in excess of 200 dollars. Pushing 300 dollars just for the kit and. For 40 bucks i figured why not make a. Shootable fun little pocket Philadelphia. Derringer. Spelled with two r's there and like the. Original which would have had just one or. So i just wanted to fulfill a few. Requests I've had to see some blacker. Powder anybody can do these the more. Time you spend the better they'll come out be aware of your lines on them again. If we go back to the picture see. Absolutely how that line had disappeared. And how i forced it to come back out see. There was none before and i forced it to. Come back out just with careful sanding. Not sure how much time i have into this not a tremendous amount of time it was. Really a pretty easy project and then getting rid of that bulbous rear end off. Of the back of it and giving a much more elegant shape much prettier eye i. Think so there it is the completed. Project I'm sorry i didn't give you a. Better feel for it is by recording it. Along the way but this is a good. Overview of a real fun little kit to. Build so this is a good way to do it find yourself some people selling some. Cheap old black powder firearms and practice on them one thing i didn't do of course was checker and as original derringer might have been checkered and my checkering skills i don't are not up. To that yet i have been practicing my. Checkering and it's one art form that. Has always eluded me i have tried and. Tried and i can mess gonna guns up quick. With checkered ink so i don't do it but. In small batches i have done some small. Pieces I'll show you in the future but. Not up to good enough standards to. Tackle a little project like this where. The whole butt stock would have had a band checkered here and then attaching. To two points that come up the backside. But anyway I'm pleased with it'll be. A fun shooter and until then next time we will be. Seeing some more of these black-powder firearms in the future so thanks for. Watching and we'll get back to some more mil syrup here coming up see you next. Time.

Hello everybody welcome to another detailed gun review today we're gonna be looking at this absolutely miniature pedda so lee lee ag derringer in 44. Caliber which is this this tiny little thing right here when i thought i'd. Start off with a size comparison and i've got it next to my taurus model 66. Silhouette long barrel revolver which is. A 357 magnum uk legal revolver which is. Why it is so long and what's kind of. Funny is comparing these two of course you can see how tiny this thing is it's. It's pretty much as long as the the other one is tall and what i find really. Amusing is how we just check that this. One is unloaded of course this is a 357. Magnum and this is a 44 caliber gun so. It's actually got a considerably larger bore which i i really like very small. Gun very big hole in the end so pedis. Only make a few different versions of this particular gun and if we have a look in the cardboard box that the gun came in it's a very very small kind of. Airsoft deep plastic box i always expect real guns to come in something a little. More substantial than the airsoft guns that i'm more used to and it's pretty. Much just an airsoft gun box in function. But it doesn't really need to be much more than that i suppose so they make a few different versions of this gun here's the manual that comes with it's actually a generic manual for all of their muzzle loading guns i released all of their small ones so you can see so. They make this gun which is the leo g. Derringer which is their their name that. They've given to their 44 caliber small percussion pistol you can also get it in. 36 caliber and it comes with a different profile barrel which they called the cannon barrel it's got sort of ribs in it kind of looks like a miniature cannon barrel thus the name and that's in 36. Caliber and they call that the pocket derringer which is kind of interesting because it's actually longer it's it's actually longer than the 44 caliber gun. So i'd probably say that this is the the pocket gun because it's smaller but i'm not sure how they do their naming i do know that they've called it the le ag because so many of these guns at least. These this style of gun that was so popular in the early eighteen hundreds were made in liege in belgium i assume lee ag is the edge in italian if we have. A look at here just gun burke not a very. Good one i've got to say lots of nice pictures but this guy really doesn't nobody's talking about but anyway here's. An example of an almost identical gun however this one is a double barrel you can see there's two triggers and two hammers but if we just grab this one a second and of course it is unloaded which you'll see when the barrel comes off i mean look at that you can see. Where pedis only got their inspiration from all of the curves the lines the. Shape everything is is near identical to. To this which really just shows that that type of gun this pattern of gun. Despite being made in many different countries by many different manufacturers are all very similar here's a british one which is of course a different style but it shows you the. Type of gun that was very popular for carrying in that kind of time period of. Course what made these so desirable to. People back then is that they're so small compared to previous generations. Of firearm technology where people were. Reliant on flintlocks which were bulkier. And of course less reliable but but were. Bulkier and made for larger guns with a. Percussion gun all you need is your nipple for the cap you've got a hammer of course you've got your hole going. Through to the to the i guess guess. Chamber not really chamber over through. To the barrel and that's it there's not much to these very very simple guns they could be made very cheaply very small and yeah they were widespread the kind. Of thing that sold in great numbers here. All over europe and here is pedis oles. Recreation of one now one thing that was brought to my attention when i actually went to purchase this the guy was buying. It from my with my local rfd why don't you just get an original and there are lots and lots and lots of examples of antiques just like this they look very similar just like the ones in the books and of course they've actually got some historic interest being old guns and they're quite cheap because again there was so many of this style of gun made however i really wanted something modern that i knew i could shoot safely i'd quite like having. Reproductions of guns if i wanted to have a a genuine one then i'd really just keep it as a as an antique whereas. I wanted one that i can actually have some fun with and shoot a lot which is. Why i went for the pedis olli as i. Showed you a second ago it came in a very basic cardboard box and i thought. That it'd be nice since i quite like this gun i thought it'd be nice to put. In something nicer so i was looking for wooden boxes that might fit it and i. Realized that pedis olli actually do make a deluxe version of this gun i believe it has a silver barrel and a silver frame that comes with a wooden. Case so i messaged paedophilia and i said would i be able to buy one of those and it was quite expensive but they they. Do sell the box separately so i've got this nice little box which is very very compact again if i get the revolver out. you can see quite a tiny this boxes. That's really nice about this is though. When you buy the box you also get. Included this really nice little powder. Flask and it is absolutely tiny i believe on its own you can get this from henry crank they do sell it in the uk and it's about 25 quid or something so these aren't overly expensive but it's nice that you're paying quite a bit for the box but it does come with this so there's some added value allowed me to kind of justify it to myself so yeah it. Comes of a nice little powder flask really nice of oil looking the finish. And it holds enough powder for this tiny gun to really last quite a long time i've got triple7 in here at the moment. So that fits in there nicely what i've. Also got in here which doesn't come with the gun but you might be able to find one of these yourself a really useful little pistol capping tool so you can. Get larger ones of these quite easily for rifles but this is a really small one just allows you to put that percussion cap on because it's. A little bit fiddly trying to get your your hand under the your thumb under the hammer though you don't want to be bringing this to full cock you want to keep it in half cock while you're doing that so it's nice to be able to just get. This little thing in there mmm strip your cap off so that fits in there as well so i've got my i've got ten percussion caps i've got my powder flask. I've got the barrel wrench which does. Come with the gun and i've also got got. To put it down i also got a a little. Plastic tube here which i think a drill. Bit came in we have my 44 caliber balls. They're actually for 51 so 45 caliber balls and you can fit 10 of those in. There and very nicely it actually fits. In the box so in this very compact. Little wooden box you've got a you've. Got all the equipment for 10 shots and i. Suppose you could put some more balls and percussion caps in there so you could potentially get more than that but. Yeah i really like that you can have everything all in one little box because one thing that was a little bit daunting to me when i first got into muzzleloading black-powder guns is just. The amount of equipment do you need you know if you want a muzzleloading revolver if it doesn't come with a if it doesn't have a built-in ramrod then you need a little stand and you need a jar of powder you need all your balls you need your percussion caps you might need some lube sand wax you might need wads. Wadding and there's a lot of paraphernalia it's really nice at everything you need you can fit into this box alright so let's have a closer look at the gun itself because even though it is very tiny and wasn't overly expensive. These are less than 200 pounds about 190. Pounds i believe this one was there really nicely made in there which is really nice little guns to to fiddle with so you've got a very very simple. Mechanism of a folding trigger you have a very very thin top guess you kind of. Call it the wrist the top of the the. Grip there is very thin i have heard people all these flimsy and say that it feels like it might break i kind of know what. They mean i've actually taken the wood off because i wanted to see what it was like off the gun and it is indeed very. Very thin with the metal out of there. Even thinner it's not something that really concerned me when i was shooting it but you don't want to drop this i. Have a feeling if you were to drop it like this and it slammed down on the butt it could break off you've got the screws anchoring it there but i wonder if this portion could snap but it feels nice and. It's it's nice quality wood looks good. Nicely finished a little gun brings you. Back to the the size of it though you mean this thing is it's tiny very small. Gun and i don't even have big hands but. You can see you can see the size of this. Which i think makes it all the more. Amusing that it's 44 caliber well talk. About the barrel let's get it off and. Unloaded because i've been paddling. Handling all this time so here's the. Barrel key that it comes with you can use this to both remove the nipple and. To help remove the barrel you don't actually need it i've shot this a few. Times without i've actually left this at home by exim and you don't actually need it you can tighten it down pretty well just with your hand but it does help. Just engages in there like that you can. Take off our barrel and see that there's nothing in there and there's no powder in there so being a screw barrel design. Like this there are a few advantages. Compared to a traditional muzzle loading. Gun the first of which is that as i've. Just demonstrated here let's say that i had loaded this gun and then i decided that i didn't want to shoot it you're in a bit of a tricky sit sticky situation with a regular muzzle loader so once you've rammed your ball down quite forcefully it's engaged in the. Rifling the powder is behind it you're. Gonna have to shoot it really unless you can put something down the bore that. Screws into the barrel and manages to extract sorry screws into the screws. Into the ball and somehow manages to extract it safely really something you want to be doing so when once you've loaded a regular muzzle loader you really should shoot it where is really something like this would be keeping it in a safe direction of course removing the percussion cap would be the first thing you do as well you could quite easily spear off through the barrel off though your ball would just be probably stuck in there pop it. Out and your powder you could pour out so this is actually from a safety point of view i think these are have a little bit of merit there the other advantage. Is that because the ball loads directly. Here there's no there's no ramming involved there's no there are no words required it's sorry patches eyespace i. Should say instead of wads it's simply a. Case of spearing the barrel off pouring a powder in and placing a ball and screwing the barrel back over it no having to worry about the size of the ball being able to actually ram it down. Easily no patch is required for a first. Muzzle loader or black-powder gun in. That regard this is a good choice although the the lack of sights means. That it's a very challenging gun to shoot accurately i'm gonna take the. Barrel off again for a second and show you something rather interesting which. There's a little bit of misinformation out there about so here's our barrel. Let's have a look at the markings by the way this look very nicely made this is a nicely machined barrel the threads are a. Little bit rough i do a lot of fred work. Grinding fred's and i'm kind of used to. Very cleanly machined fred's and yeah. The fred's are a little a little bit rough if i'm honest but for in general. The machining is good for a relatively cheap gun and you've got your markings here black powder only and little will. Proof mark in your peda solely mark on. There alright anyway what i was talking about with a information about these being a little bit wrong if we have a look down the barrel here i put something there for white we've got some. Grooves now some people have looked at. This and said oh it's a rifled gun isn't it's got grooves in the barrel in fact if we forget good view of the muzzle here you can. Kind of hmm probably can't really see but you can see the grooves and it does indeed look like rifling however it's completely straight as you. Can see there it's very very shallow and it's completely straight so there's obviously no rifling effects being imparted on the projectile here if it's. Completely straight how can there be and. Indeed i believe the only reason that the barrel does have these grooves in is. To one allow you to put the tool in because this engages in those very shallow grooves and that's what allows you to twist the barrel on and off with a little bit of force and the the other. Reason is when you have the ball on the other end so you have the ball sat on on here the ball needs to engage into. Something that will hold it in place but not obviously provide so much resistance that it blows the barrel off so having having those shallow grooves means that the ball will stay in place and you tighten it down into the rifling but. Then it's easy enough to to shoot the ball through it so yeah some people have. Called this a rifled gun it looks like rifling but being completely straight i don't think rifling is accurate and i'm. Sure there is no spin being imparted on the projectile here as for projectiles. I've been using the spear for 51 caliber. Swage lead balls which are quite nice. And uniformed some of the just purely cast ones i've. Seen have been quite rough and they have. That that little pip bit where it's where it's been cast but these are perfectly round and i these are for 51. Caliber and they're a little bit too. Loose you can see there we'll just about. Drop into the barrel i could probably push that through quite easily whether. That's just my example i'm not sure but i really need to get some four fifty four or perhaps 457 or something larger even though peda solely recommend 451 there really isn't quite enough compression here to make a really good. Seal on top of the black powder and i can tell when i'm screwing it on the the ball is going into the rifling. Quite easily and i think a slightly. Larger ball would be would be better. That's for percussion caps i've been. Using these they rw s yeah rw s so. They're not number 10 they're not number 11 they're 1075 maybe it's like an. In-between size i'm not sure but the guy i bought the gun off i just tried a few different different caps that he had in. Stock and these were the ones that fit the best and i bought a few hundred of. Them and i have still got lots of them left because this isn't a gun that you kind of go to the range and blast a hundred rounds through really is it so. They go on easily enough of course. You've got a shroud around the hammer in. The what i mean by that is that the. Nipple is quite well covered when the. Cap goes off meaning you're not getting bits of it blasted in your face now as you've just seen there the trigger is folding it does not present itself on. Half cock so what you do actually let's. Go over the loading procedure quickly so what you do is you'd you'd break it down like this and i'll say you should really. Be keeping this in a safe direction the whole time just because you know safety. When i'm at the range i unscrew the barrel with it pointing downrange with such a miniature gun like this it is so easy to point it somewhere that you don't want to you've got to be really careful that you're keeping it pointed in a safe direction even when you're loading and unloading it so the. Procedure would be to unscrew the barrel fill up with black powder or in my case. I'm using triple 7 which might be a little bit powerful for it but i haven't seen any ill effects yet so you fill to. The top and then a little bit more i've found so rather than just filling to. That exact sort of line and then placing the ball on top as i demonstrate what i. Actually do is fill a little bit beyond so it almost makes a little ant mound. And then you bury the ball into it and. That gives it a tiny little bit of compression now with triple7 you're not meant to give heavy compression and i'm not talking about packing it down in the hole there i'm just talking about a little bit of a giving it a little bit. Of resistance when you're trying to screw this on and again like i saying before i think a slightly bigger ball would would be a better for this actually for a little bit of a better seal anyway you simply fill this cavity. Up but there's no measuring you don't need to get a scale out or we'll have pre measured charges you simply fill up. To the top so there's so your ball sits. Into it you screw your barrel back on again i'll be keeping this pointed. Downrange if you need to have the help. Of the little wrench you can do that to screw it up so screw it up and then. You'll be putting on your percussion cap either trying awkwardly to get it in there with your hand or if you're sensible you'll have a little capping tool like this one you put on half cock. To expose the nipple but there like that. And then of course as soon as you bring. It to full cock you're ready to shoot which is a little bit daunting the first. Time shooting something without a trigger guard that just has a little folding trigger and a gun that's so tiny with no sights i was quite nervous about shooting this the first time if i'm honest and i will put some footage somewhere in this or at the end showing me shooting it just to show you so this. Is the point where you'll be keeping it down range of course because as soon as that percussion cap is on there the gun is ready to go you carefully cock the. Hammer which brings out the trigger and something's just fallen out of the gun. Well that's interesting isn't it great. When this happens as you're filming a review looks like looks like the pin. That holds the trigger in has sheared. Into all i'm gonna have to message. Cutter solely or henry crank about that i just put it back in for now it looks like the the pin has actually sheared. Off how interesting hmm. Well i'll push it back in there for now better get that sorted out anyway. Great endorsement for the gun there. Yeah it's come back in now interesting. Anyway at this point you would be. Pulling it to full cock this way around. So the pin doesn't fall out full cock trigger comes down which is actually the. Only thing that makes a click when you do that something that i don't like about this is that the the hammer is incredibly. Stiff which i think it just has to be for reliable ignition like it is almost painful on your thumb and it doesn't really have a solid noise as it goes to. Full cock it's difficult difficult to do. On camera ok i'll demonstrate that by. Angie how can i demonstrate that there you go see if you can hear the hammer. Engaging in the see barely audible i. Don't like that there been times at the. Ranger of cock this and i've just. Haven't been entirely sure that the hammer is cocked properly and i've kind of had to grab it with two hands and really make sure because the last thing i want is to let go this and it's a slam forward again it's it was a little bit. Nervous the first time i shot this and it's still a little bit daunting which i. Know sounds silly but being being in a member of a club where you shooting an indoor range you will really have to you. Know be very aware of where you're pointing a gun like this and of course. Whether where the bullets actually going and this thing has no sights put out the. Shot this thing has no sights at all. Let's have a look what it looks like looking down the gun this is what you are presented with and. You just have to try and the best way to do it i find is such keep both eyes open look at the barrel like that point it. Down and just hope that it is somewhere. Near when you pull the trigger i wasn't. Actually sure if they would allow me to shoot a gun like this at the indoor range again there's there's just a chance that you're not going to be pointing it in exactly the right place after a few shots i figured out the best. Way to hold it and i was able to keep my shots fairly well regulated on target i. Certainly wasn't putting them into the ceiling or hitting them shooting them down into the floor but this certainly isn't a gun that you shoot for accuracy it's just a bit of fun so after you've fired the shot you can. Fold your trigger back in there so i. Suppose i should come up with some kind of conclusion and it's a it's a tricky one to come to a meaningful conclusion. About it's the kind of gun that if you want it then get it it's fun it's. Definitely fun to shoot when you manage. To get it right first couple of times i didn't put quite enough powder in there was obviously a very slight air gap or maybe the compression just wasn't quite there and the first few shots i was met. With a kind of a little pop and the bal. Practically rolled out the end and i realized then that you actually need to almost overfill it with powder right up. To the top a little bit extra push the ball into it tighten the barrel down properly and then you can actually get some fairly powerful shots out of this i haven't run across a chronograph of. Course i definitely wouldn't want to put this anywhere near a chronograph because i would definitely shoot via shoot the. Chronograph to bits but looking at. Someone else shoot lists when i've let other people have a go i don't want to. Say you can actually see the ball flying in the air but i think if you were to record it with a decent camera it'd be very easy to see the ball flying because you can tell the velocity here is very. Low perhaps 300 400 feet per second i would not be surprised if it's that load we are after all talking about quite a large and heavy projectile backed by a. Very low powder charge it i think it. Works out about 10 grains or so of powder that you film there and these are. Quite heavy they're about 140 grains i. Believe so um it's a bit of an odd. Combination a gun this tiny with a ball that big and heavy very little black powder yeah it's it's interesting. Shooting a gun like this then the the. The world of the audible delay between the bang and then it hitting the the back of the the range and sometimes. Coming back the the lead wasn't even. Flattening fully at the the end of the twenty five or suppose would be about thirty meters as twenty five is 25 meter. Range and it was quite clear that the lead was not being completely flattened and destroyed at the end of the range because some of them did roll back and. End up by my feet so this thing doesn't. Have a whole lot of power i'd love to actually know quite what the ballistics. Are but it's not the kind of thing you buy for power or for accuracy it's the kind of thing that you think is cool and. You uh you appreciate that it's going to be a bit of a challenge to shoot but at. Least sort of build quality wise it's a. Really nice and made little gun it's a gun that i like to get out and show people you've got color case hardening on the frame nice little folding trigger. It's a really okay it's a really. Pleasant little gun that i probably won't shoot a lot to be perfectly honest this it's just that kind of gun was gonna i'm gonna shoot every now and then. But it's mostly going to be a showpiece and a something to talk about with. People anyway i'm gonna put a bit of shooting footage in please ask me any questions i'm sure there's lots that i've missed but that is my review of the. Pedis olli lee ag derringer more videos. On the way. Stop saying when you start filming yeah.
