Hey what's going on guys so today we're. Back i know it's been a while but we're. Finally back and i have some exciting news we picked up a pet or soli this is. A reproduction of a second model brown. Bess so pretty hard to get the whole. Thing on there it's the second model. Because it's shorter believe it or not. It is a first model his approximately 4. Inches longer this barrel is 42 inches. And the other one yeah wait 42 and 46. Yeah the first first model 46 inches long the barrel but this has always been. One of my dream guns to get a hold of. They make reproductions like indian made. Ones that are you know not too expensive. But they kind of have that that bad aura. Around them people seem to think that. They're made out of really cheap pot. Metal which i think some of the parts really are i don't know about the actual barrel itself but i don't really want to. Take that chance and blowing myself up i do not want it's a daffy duck myself so i finally. Came upon for a good price a real pet or. Soli brown best reproduction obviously. To get a real brown bess in good. Condition you're talking about i don't. Know 20 thousand give or take you know. Just its condition condition when it. Comes to antiques like that and then you don't want to shoot something like that so i've always been after one of these. And i'm really excited to share this with you today so what we're gonna do is. I have actually taken this out to shoot. To actually hunt with a couple times so. I already have it loaded with some triple out buck i got three triple out triple lot buck in here i have. A-hunting load i have spaced out with. That over powder over powder wad and the. Cushion wad and a cushion wad on top of the the buckshot so we're gonna get. We're gonna try to shoot this i said. We'd go for like 30 yards and see how it. Does see how it groups on the still target that we have i think this is. Gonna be an excellent hunting musket. Because it's a smoothbore is basically this is a 75 caliber weapon so you're. Talking about the same exact thing as a 12-gauge shotgun so the only difference is you load from the muzzle that's the. Only difference and it's pretty versatile just like a shotgun you can use 77.7 3 5 round balls in this that. Would be a real tight fit use a patchen. And probably will be really accurate what i have is 69 caliber round balls. Okay i haven't bought the other multi i don't know if i'm going to but actually. What is authentic is that they use paper. Cartridges with 0.68 5 round balls so. And the whole reason behind that is obviously it's gonna be inaccurate but with a smoothbore like this you'll be. Able to load a lot quicker because the. Fouling if you know anything about black-powder weapons it's gonna get fouled up pretty quickly and it's gonna be hard if you had a set point 735 round. Ball and you know after like the third fifth time it's gonna be hard to stuff that thing down there ten shots and you're done you're gonna have to clean it before you can shoot it again so let's try out this triple up. Buck nine pellets see how it groups on the steel then we'll try the paper cartridges let's check it out one other. Thing before we shoot i want to point out that this let's see if i can get my. Face to focus. Okay so right here this is not a front. Slide this is actually a bayonet lug so and it's pretty thick we do not have a. Rear sight so i mean it's pretty much. Even worse than the shotgun bead but. We're gonna do our best and let's see how it shoots this is my first time shooting it a little bit nervous we have 100 grains of black powder in it we have. A primer charge of like 10 grains of 3f. Black powder at the bottom and obviously. We're gonna prime with 3f black powder as well but the rest of it is loaded. With what is it called i think it's alliant black it's really. Cheap black powder i use it in my martini henry steiner rifles all that shoots really good and it's like a it's. Like a 1f though it's pretty thick but let's let's check it out i got my ears in don't do this at home i got no eye. Protection in all right but this is a quality quality reproduction i checked. It out before we shot it we're gonna. Shoot it so should shoot really well. You're kind of gonna need a lot more the pans really big this is a lot different. Than your your hawking rifle a lot. Bigger god i came to think walk and all. Right let's try this actually a little. Nervous last time i shot a flintlock rifle right after i shot a fucking. Rattlesnake jumped out on me so let's see how this thing shoots. All right we got a little delay and i. Was kind of scared shaking a little bit i don't know what it is whenever i get a. New gun i'm kind of scared to shoot it i. Call me a pussy it is what it is but we got some good. Hits at 30 yards let's go check it out i. Don't know if you can see that but there's one two three four and five. Right off on the side corner right there. On the very edge so we got five out of. Nine not that bad plus you know i totally flinched and we kind of had to delay as well so not bad. We're gonna try some round balls some paper cartridges and see how those do so. The recoil on that wasn't bad at all honestly i mean this is a pretty hefty weapon that's why in the revolutionary. War a lot of soldiers preferred their. I'm trying to think of the french musket. Charleville something like that actually. I got lucky with the gun shop i got an authentic charleville 1770 something i. Don't know original it's a cut-down. Though but it has original style original lock all that bore looks good. Touch hole everything i'm really excited. I would be shooting it right now too but. Stupid gun laws i guess i got a hold it. So no one can claim it if it's stolen or whatever at a pawn shop so but anyways. Um i used um fled i got a lead ball. Smashed it down using it but it came loose i mean this led right here it might be a little on the thick side so i. Don't think we're getting a good secure i'm gonna have the tightness every time. So kind of sucks but let's try this we've got some real cartridges paper. Cartridges that i made for this yep they. Even had cartridges all the way back then so first thing we're gonna do and like i said before we're in half cock right now it's pretty much the safety on. This gun a lot of people are gonna say this is unsafe this is how they really did it back then okay driving your vehicles is not really safe. You're better off walking you know a lot. Of things that we do in life are kind of dangerous so and there's one of the. Things i just like free producing. History i'm a big history buff so called. Unsafe it is what it is but i'm gonna do it how they did it back then so 69 caliber round ball gonna bite it. Off one other thing about this the black. Powder go act is pretty expensive so what i did is i put sixty grains of a. Lion black which is a the knock off. Black powder so it doesn't have sulfur. In it and it's really cheap so and then. The other sixty grain is real black powder so i'm gonna put a nice a little bit of real black powder which is on top. Right in the pan let's try not to put. Too much this time that way we get good ignition and then i still got a i see. The real black powder steel so that should go in first hopefully we'll see. We're testing this out we just put the. Whole cartridge in there the whole thing. Make sure it's nice and tight all the. Way at the bottom like you said before. You don't do that you'll blow yourself. Up just got to be touching the powder and now we're gonna take a shot all. Right let's see if we get better ignition this time okay definitely. Missed let's try that again. Half cock yeah that's not yeah sorry i. Should have just used leather i don't know i try to get cute but don't worry. We have i was smart enough and brought a. Screwdriver to tighten this down all. Right let's try that again we're in half cock let's let's try. Blowing this. I'm sure that sounded kind of gay right now but we're gonna blow this thing. Make sure there's no burning amber's left so i don't blow myself up there's. No more smoke so let's try this again. See if we can actually get a hit at 30. Yards. That might be a little too much close to. The touch hole remember from everything. That i saw it's you really don't want too much powder in here you don't want a a chain reaction so that's a little bit. Less than the last time we're still kind of getting that slow ignition you might. Have to just use completely all black powder but let's try this again let's see if that remedies things like i. Said the recoils very manageable i was. Worried that uh loading these up with 120 grains would be too much i mean 10. Grains is probably going in the pan and. The other 110 the other 110 is going. Down the bore which really isn't a lot. Kind of sounds like a lot compared if. You reload martin modern cartridges so. Let's try that again see if i can get up. Get this whole thing in the picture here oh yeah not bad that was badass. This time was a little more comfortable it hit pretty much for exactly where i aimed so that's really cool that's a big. Ass all right let's blow this little. Girl right cool grab the cartridge i. Mean i tell you what guys i enjoy. Shooting this guns like this a lot more. Than i do any modern type weapons i mean. It just it's like you're going back in time when you're shooting these things it's a lot of fun i mean every once in a. While ar-15 sar tans whatever aks it's alright. It's just boring to me honestly. You got to swap it switch it up so there. We go got about ten grains up in there. Doesn't look like our flint moved at all. I still even though we're doing this and. Like i said people saying not to do it still try to keep it away from you so i. Mean the worst case scenario we boil off. A couple of our fingers i mean they'll. Suck but do not put your face in front. Of it you're just asking for problems. And as this gets more more fouled up i. Mean we're gonna see better accuracy but let's see how that does again let's see. I haven't been this happy in a while. This is really cool like i said i've. Always dreamed getting this gun this. Brown bess like this was right there. Along with you know which will probably never happen getting an mp 40 mp 44 s bt. 40 gewehr 43 i'm really happy with this. This is awesome let's put that in half. Cock make sure it's in half cock this is. A absolutely cool gun to shoot it is i. Mean very very high quality i mean when. I saw it it's like i had to have it i totally uh you know begged the guy to. Take a glass i didn't really had that much money at the time and he. Accommodated me so kudos to that guy. Really cool alright let's see so like i. Said we're not putting too much in the pan and that's working out we're getting better ignition okay and i'm putting it. Away from the touch hole alright. And guys if you're doing this please. Please wear eye protection alright. Alright this is already starting to get tight with a 69 caliber balls i don't. Know seems like it should be down more. I don't know i want to jack myself up. Definitely jack my finger up i'm just. Super scared that let's see it's about. Right there ah we're good alright. Obvious this isn't too boring for you. Guys so already is like what the six shot and. It's already getting like to the point where it's getting hard to shoot oh shit. Flash in the pan so we're gonna try. Again sparking its igniting but i think. The touch holes just clogged up alright. That one definitely felt like that one. Definitely felt like i don't know how to. Explain it but i don't know if i was. Just kind of scared to shoot it or what. Or maybe i fucked up and i left an air. Gap hopefully not what happens if you do. Manage to leave an air gap i mean this thing could fucking blow up overpressure the barrel could swell so look for. Cracking or anything like that i don't. Know it seems alright i'm just nervous. All right totally fuck that one a powder. Everywhere so what i did last time is i. Kind of like wrap the paper on. Accidentally around it instead of just. Pushing the extra paper down the bore i. Think that's why it was just so tight but that's how much rod we have left so. That's it like exactly how much we had. Last time and that one wasn't hard to go down at all so let's see if we can get. That full body shot i like how the um the rod the ramrod is very tight in this. Musket like there's no way it's going. Anywhere all right let's do that again. Let's get all right that's the only. Thing that kind of sucks with the only. Thing that sucks with the oh damn this is hot how does fall with black-powder. Weapons in general is that you can't. Really see where your shots going. Because it's just cloud of smoke but. We'll go at it again i mean i couldn't. Imagine fighting with this weapon under. Pressure even with modern weapons it's. Easy to forget to reload your weapon. When it's empty um you know making sure. The magazines all the way seated things like that anyway you might be taking. Fire people dying around you you forget to. Push the ball all the way to the bottom or you triple load your musket and i. Mean it took real discipline for. Soldiers back in the 18th century to be. Proficient and not to make mistakes while being engaged i mean coming out. Here with a weapon like this just really allows me in a weird way to like pay. Respect to these people that gave gave their lives for us to have all this. Freedom that we have today is just amazing what those people did for us. Gave up their families gave up everything that they had you know for this idea of not being the subject. Subjects to a king you know i could go. On on and on but let's do this again. That's good this time we just push the. Whole thing down yeah it's starting to. Be a nice fit i see now why i'm not. Gonna even bother with getting yeah i'm. Not gonna even bother getting anything. Bigger in diameter as far as the round. Ball goes just like i said what is this. 10 11 10 11 shots now and it's already. Tight we should be able to get some good accuracy out of this all right let's get. Let's get it up close let's see let you. See this block in action. Yeah that's that's got some more power. Now definitely losing that windage i. Think we only got a couple more paper cartridges we'll go back when i review. The video and we'll see exactly how many we fired here but i now know why a lot. Of times they only issued soldiers so. Many cartridges i mean what's the point if your guns going to be no good in 30. 30 shots you know why would you give them any more i kind of see the thinking around that and also i can see i guess i can see. Soldiers cleaning their weapons you know. Once i get to the point where it's getting really tight but i mean you need. Water and i guess i got water in their. Canteen you could do a quick cleaning job but it's definitely like my favorite. Gun to shoot my favorite gun right now i. Mean. So yeah i don't think it was too bad of an idea to not use all black powder like. I said it's really hard to come to come. By real black powder where i'm at and. I'm sure it is where you guys are at to. Obviously the the other not fake black. Powder i can't think of the word right now what do they call that black powder. Substitute okay the black powder substitute the whole thing with that is. It just ignites and a higher temperature. So that's why it's not suggested for. Flintlocks for your cap locks and all that your percussion caps so it's not an. Issue at all for your black powder cartridge is not an issue at all but for flintlocks it is and it's it this is. It's not too bad. I don't know dude i like this shit i. Really like this i don't know if you. Guys noticed but i have my backup weapon. Right here too which is a harpers ferry. 1805 flintlock pistol by petter solely. As well we'll do a video on this as well. Sometime i don't know when i bought it. Fairly cheap the hammer is kind of a. Little loose i don't know i don't know why that is but i'm pretty sure and the. More i look at it pretty sure it was a kit gun that someone put together it. Doesn't explain why that's lewis probably just been shot a lot but and. One thing i don't really like about this it's fucking rifle i'm pretty sure they. Weren't rifled it's a 58 caliber pistol it's pretty light for being a 58 caliber. Pistol and they were made started i. Think believed produced 1805 or 1807 something like that but it's really cool. It looks cool i was an mp i don't know. If i told anyone that before but i was. In the military mp and on our logo for. The mps there's cross pistols and come. To find out before a little before i bought it it's the harpers ferry pistol that's what those cross pistols are and it is. Actually united states first pistol ever. Produced so all right let's see how many. Let's see i think we got one or two. Cartridges like yeah we got two left. So oh you know what i didn't do. Stupid me didn't not prime the pan. Hopefully we got some real black powder left yeah that looks like all real black. Powder see i get to talking you can make. Mistakes with these fucking please these weapons so be very careful what. You're doing when you're shooting these. Type of weapons all right i mean just. Everything everything on this high. Quality i mean kudos to petter slowly. Damn the end of this ramrod though has. Made four attachments and i'm totally. Cutting up my finger with it but everything on this is high quality i looked up when this musket was made and. It was actually produced by petter solely in 2007 so brettly knew only you. Know i guess that's a long time ago huh. 1112 years ago not that new but oh let's. Tighten down our our flint yeah the. Whole thing with this lead i think i. Just think it was me i think i totally. Fucked this up the whole the whole thing. With the lead it's mostly be better like fit our hold its securely better but i. Think it's just too thick let's see we. Can get a hit we've been missing i don't know what's wrong with me all right let's try that again. That happens guys i was watching a. Documentary recently and they said these. Guys they would have misfires 25 percent. Of the time okay i don't remember off hand which documentary this was - if you look at. Revolutionary war it probably has the most views i don't. Think it's a history channel thing but i don't know why i even put more i don't think i just got a spark. Pretty sure those guys knew what they were talking about no we might have. Reached her didn't bring a new nipple pick like an idiot so might have reached. Our end with this i really don't like. Leaving with with the pan with. Everything not the pan but the gun loaded because then we can't clean it but thank you guys for checking out this video i'm gonna try to make more videos. In the near future also i have my ffl. Now i'm starting to sell military surplus weapons and sometimes modern weapons too so just look for that i have a website. It is surplus firearms dotnet so if. You're looking for a mauser 98 anything like that old-school weapons mazda guns. I got them check out my website also i'm. Gonna start getting into the antique rifle selling those right now i have a i. Don't know i can't anyways i'll list them at the bottom in. The description if i remember what i even have right now but you enjoy guys have a good one We got one left.

Went out with joe yesterday and. This hawking with me as i generally do in the end i probably put about ten. Rounds through this and ten rounds of. Black powder it is its dirty one round. And it's dirty that's just how it is i want to point out that right now in central florida it is the middle of the winter and with that it is cool, and we. Have relatively low humidity the first thing i want to discuss is health put away after use and i use a heavily. Coated patch with ballast all inside the. Barrel just to coat everything it's not so much cleaning but a coating and then particular attention is made to this area because there is going to be a lot. Of residue of black powder here so this whole area was slathered with ballast. All and then i take a patch coated with. Ballast all and i put it in between here. It makes its way down where the. Percussion cap sits and stops any area. Here from rusting as well as providing that that insulation here to stop these. Two pieces of metal from gowing which is how i always leave this sitting i have. Tested that using this method and not. Storing in a safe right so using this. Method and keeping this in a dry air-conditioned environment it seems. Perfectly fine to go a couple of days. Without cleaning, it provided you using black powder not pirate decks and nothing will happen so long as you know. The ballast all that's on there is heavily coated it neutralizes the. Black powder residue and obviously the. Oil does not allow any rust to form on. The metal i encourage people of course to clean as quick as possible for something like this you go out you're done you don't immediately clean it maybe the next day as is the case here I'm now taking out we're gonna start the cleaning and I've already done a video that specifically talks about. Breaking down this rifle as much as. Possible for cleaning an inspection i will post the link up here that's not. What this is going to be about this is just gonna be me going through talking about how i clean this rifle a general. Cleaning after usage first thing to go is going to be the ramrod and like everything else on. The rifle if it has the opportunity to be cleaned it will but this is going to. Be all broken down, so we're going to take the ramrod out we're gonna put it to the side and I'll remove my patch. Here I'll bring this to the halfway. Position as shown and using my tool i will start to remove. This i may actually have to bring this to the full-back position to fit the tool in alright and this tool should be used only to start the. Procedure just to get things moving right be sure not to obviously scratch. The metal of the rifle you want to you. Don't want to do any harm and sometimes. It sits in there. I always point out that you would always. Use this tool to remove them you would never use this tool to insert them you know except to snug them down we're not. Even there yet but i continue to point that out take a look here that is that's. Filthy so more of this you know I'll. Tell you and i put a lot of ballast on. Here obviously this thing never jammed. Up the entire day and i didn't use the. Pic or anything on this rifle not once. And it could be argued that yeah it was the winter and there's no humidity but okay fine didn't jam up once thing. Ran like a champ and with that removed i wanted to give a good view here and. Remember oil was applied but nothing was scrubbed away just to give an idea of. What this all looks like here before i do any separation so I've already I've. Already loosened this pin so now I'm gonna pop it out like so there you go. Now i will split the barrel from the stock grabbing the stock like so from the front gently lifting and removing. There you go having just cleaned the. Entire mechanical assembly here last. Time i don't need to rip all this apart and like i said i have a video that. Shows how this could all be ripped apart and cleaned i want to show what it looks like having completely clean this and then fired through what we have obviously we have debris all along here. Throughout here and extending down you. Can see some into the wood and the metal here this all gets cleaned out with a q-tip I'll show where that debris is you. Get that cleaned up you oil it you clean. All the wood around here and you're pretty much good to go after like maybe. Four or five times or if you're having any issues then it's time to take apart. This whole assembly and go through it for general maintenance, so we could see looking down in here on this metal plate. Very little residues so that tells us that very little gunpowder residue made it. This far back right and i go all the way. Back here and have a look on this plate. And i could see a little bit of residue here and what that tells you is that. You really don't need to dig that far down all the time if it's not touching. This metal if it's not getting in here a. Lot it's really not getting all the way. Down in there a lot as well but you can. See right here i mean just it skates. Right so right here it's simply filthy. If i go along here i realize the. Contrast makes it hard to see i could. See some residue here on this black piece of metal but again not terrible up here obviously on the outside we're gonna see some residue but that's not surprising right so inside here not too bad but everything on the. Outside is obviously gonna be filthy where the percussion cap is held in here. It needs to be cleaned out as well and everything around the hammer here we. Could see also look at this thick kicked. Up over here it's gonna need to be cleaned but that's just to show. That the trigger and the mechanism and. The hammer and everything it's not really getting in there too bad as bad. As this all is it is contained mostly to. The outside. yeah well percussion-cap still in there. Nice and clean so i started off with. This thicker layer of ram well to mull. Safai any black powder that i might have missed and I'm going to let it just sit. On here I'm gonna wipe off the excess. Later and then check to see the color of. The patch rights he's just seen this thick layer and it also allows that rem. Oil to get down even here look behind. That trigger see what comes out the other side i don't plan on seeing much. More of anything at this point but i said trigger i meant I'm in hammer i don't see a plan on seeing much more at this point the q-tip starting to get. Dirty but seeing everything is now. Looking good once this is done I'll be. Able to put this part of the rifle to. The side and focus on the barrel right. And this didn't take me long at all I'm really taking my time for the movie that. Could move this now to the forward position and take a look and make sure that everything behind here has been touched and looking good and yeah just. Let that kind of sit there now we get to the other half of this rifle which is the barrel we could see some you can see some nice crud here I'm just. Gonna what I'm gonna do before i get started with the barrel procedure is wipe this crud off because the procedures that we're gonna use we don't want to introduce any more contaminants. Into the mixture if they could be easily removed so let's do that now and i think. That the soaking overnight that it does. Makes a lot of this easy to remove i. Think it i think it breaks up the. Black powder residue you can see just I'm just removing with the patch it's more like a sludge it's not like a crust at this point i mean some of it stuck to the rifle but you see how easy that's coming off it's hardly anything you know to get that. Removed from there that's i just wanted. All that to go away before i begin so what I've done here is I've prepared some hot water not boiling hot but i. Wouldn't want to stick my hand in there but not so hot that it's melting this. Glad container just to give you a reference now what i do is i just put a little splash a ballast all in there that's enough that's actually too much. But that's fine some people use something like palmolive or a dish detergent and that works. Good too but if you use something like palmolive you're gonna have to do a rinse step after you do this and if. You've ballast all you're not gonna have to use a rinse because it's a gun oil so once you've cleaned the barrel with it and you dry it you're good so given that. Option i simply go with the ballast all. I'm not a sponsor of any product by the. Was it's just that I've been using dallas doll and rem oil for many years. And these are the products that i use it's my own personal choice for this procedure on the end of the ramrod we'll go the 50 caliber cotton swab and this. Cotton swab will be just to start off will be put in that mixture so it will. Expand I'll give it a second here it's important to note that the water level will be higher than this thread here when this barrel is put into the water. This is the operation it's gonna be done we're gonna place this all the way down into the water as shown here and then. From the top we'll use this as a siphon to clean the barrel out. See all the black powder residue coming out the bottom now into the water all. The while pulling the water and ballast all up into the barrel give it a good. Cleaning and I'll do this as long as i. See fit. Having finished this process you'll. Notice that the barrel is completely dry all of this stuff here where the metal is screwed on that to hold the ramrod and the sights and everything with the. Exception to the first two inches obviously way back there was underwater. The barrel didn't get wet everything was. Done the inside this process is an extremely clean and thorough process to. Clean out the barrel so I've dried off this area of the barrel i put it back on. The stand i will point out the barrel is it's quite hot you know it does transfer. Heat from that hot water so any residual. Moisture will dry relatively quickly the. Important thing now is getting all of. The stuff that was used with water out. Of the working area now so the barrel is now sitting up here and i have this. Piece of the ramrod that I'm now. Just gonna squeeze out with a paper. Towel because I'm not gonna be using it anymore let that dry out and I'll I'll put my. Put my regular component back on the end. Here that i usually use i will point out. During the cleaning process that i did with the water in the pan with the ballast doll if you weren't running a patched ball and you were using a lead. Bullet and you wanted to remove any lead fouling in the rifle and you would alternate between that that cotton adapter and something like this that. Would also be used to clean the inside. Of the barrel and remove that lead fouling i use a patch ball so i don't need to use this but this would have been put on the end of the ramrod and the inside of that barrel would have been scrubbed with a brush like this effectively you would have alternated. Between the two of these I'll point out that when you deal with something like that now you have to also deal with lead. Contamination which obviously makes cleanup and safety around like pets and kids an entirely different matter but. The bullets that i use in the way i set. It up the lead is never exposed to the. Barrel there's a separation so i don't deal with a lot of in the cleanup of this rifle and this is. Not necessary for cleaning but i do this is a 50 caliber scrape that i just run to the back of the breech and twist. It around a couple times and make sure that there's no foreign body stuck back. There before i continue in everything. Everything looks okay i just wanted to check so the first thing I'm gonna do is. I'm gonna run a dry patch through their i don't want to mix oil and water so i want to get through their real quick there's would be a lot of crud from that water and all the stuff that was mixed in there and all that residue and it's probably some surface orange rust and. Garbage that's gonna immediately form on. The metal and i just want to get that out of their right quick and you can see that right there definitely not dirty i mean this will come off I'm gonna get some oil on this immediately and everything will be fine but that's to be expected. We're at the point now with the inside of the barrel is perfectly clean we're at the stage now where we could start cleaning the outside of this barrel and putting the rifle back together give the. Barrel a good once-over with rem oil paying close attention to where it was stamped just to get any black powder residue out of there and you do find some mostly just from the hands touching. It and the underside where I'm not going to be able to apply the oil later when. The whole thing is reconstructed so. I'm just going through this whole thing and just giving it a good general cleaning especially on the bottom out. Last item of business for cleaning will be this thing that by now you've noticed i cannot say on youtube so i will call. The thing for the percussion-cap and this will have to be cleaned this one takes quite a beating i will be using a q-tip some Rommel and this device right. Here to clean this thing out i finished. Cleaning this piece and now i could screw it back on I'm gonna wait until the rifle is assembled before doing so. However again in the reverse procedure of the installation hammer all the way. Back making sure everything is absolutely centered i insert the hook. Under here i grabbed the stock from the. Front all we've checked me that it's centered if it's not centered I'll lift it up again and check to make sure everything's right and everything seats right down perfectly just like that then. I will install my pin lock it into place. Finally, i will install this into the. Rifle i will not use any tool to accomplish this task only using my. Fingers and it has very wide thread so. It only grabs in one location there it. Is and it should be able too especially. Once cleaned turn very easily all the. Way down just like so i only use the. Tool as shown here to give it a little. Snug and that's it no more I'll use a patch. To wipe the excess Rommel and distribute it evenly in these. Areas that i did earlier now around the. Piece that was installed you need a. Little bit cold for this will be fine. Then i will take that patch as i did. Before and fold it brings it down over. The hammer and release it into position. Final patch is used to get all the rest. Of the gun metal that might have been missed or touched during this process evenly distribute all of that oil including the crown up front sights. What-have-you under this area before i. Go and put the ramrod back into the gun and with everything oiled up and completed finally the ramrod which is. Never used for anything other than taking out and starting during cleaning is reintroduced back into the rifle and. This hawken cleaning procedure is now. Complete so i hope you found my hawken. Cleaning procedure useful thanks for watching. You.

Okay what i got with me today you know. If you could see or not she's gotten dirty i bought this gun probably a year. Year-and-a-half ago and it's the. Traditions Kentucky rifle I've done a. Couple of videos with my other one now the difference is the action here. I felt the other one was getting lonely in the safe so i bought another. Kentucky rifle this one's a percussion. And the one i used in the other videos. Is a flintlock of course and today's his first day i. Took this one out after running it for what a year your half anyway maybe two years and i brought her today to site. Her in now i have had a little medical. Issue and the doctors didn't really want me firing guns and no if you watched my. Other videos my mugs a little mesto ak. See more of it's working now that's a 50. Caliber rifle and i just did half dozen. Shots and it really feels good to be. Birthing smoking flames over the place. Again nice gun just like the other one. Though it'll punch you in the cheek when. You're on the rest so the help i get the. Rest a little bit high just saying a bags i did forget my gunner ism yeah i find it you're raised it a bit and you. Just kind of be careful you get position your head you want punches the thing is. Brutal accurate layer down here. I'll give you the ask this gorgeous thing looks like nice price let's talk. On it and the beautiful wood. It's hardly but it is stained. I say it's long enough saying it is it's. Just these they darken it up but stain so otherwise it would be a blond. Boom stick and you see it's got the. Nice original style percussion action. Honor and not not rocket science and how. These things are converted nice brass. Trigger guard usual traditions fluffy. Trigger i think i might spring one of. These just to make it nice and what is nice about these you can't adjust the trigger this thing's got a bit of a pull on them when you get it just a plain old. Sights you can see i got some brass marks on it too for the wind age some. Shooting 9 inch to the left and a half. At both 30 meters that's roughly 30 yards it's been nice. Brass end cap and the wooden ramrod i. Did not use leave it there strictly for. Looks so it's yeah it's a nice looking. Gun and it's a lot of fun to shoot and I've. Heard how much fun it was shooed. — 70 grains i seem to me like i was. Doing better with 70 that makes a. Difference. Any difference in that kick that's resort can't believe how much of a. Little low a little left getting dark to. So it's getting a little harder to see. Yeah it's not bad. So fifty sixty i guesses not really making. A lot of difference a little higher i guess what take my sunglasses. Off maybe a little help because the sun. Is pretty much behind the clouds oh this. Time i thought is shooting at three f. Apparently not. And the right of the center bar. Four inches over just gave her a. Scrubbing with the brush i used to take. A patch wet patch and run through i find. Just brushing it over every fire six shots for me anyway I'm not not laying a. Competition shoot here in france every. Four or five shots i gave her a run the brush through it was good enough well i. Had a couple of times has plugged up the passage of the nipple there so after. I brushed it out now i run a cat towards. Just to search clear shoulders getting. The sore there's lying one thing left to do go up to 80 greens that's what i just. Did again it's two left's punching them. Pretty good. Did make a difference. Hello and right this time. Things just too much fun 90 grains a2f. This time more is better. It certainly is more fun. It's that beautiful plume of smoke down. The right side again no far right and. See where i hit the tip of the star. There. Once again the chi credi keep it this. One. A taper offs no it looks like it's up top. And the left and the small target there. And the top left i think so you're it's just taper off. I'm starting to lose track 2f 3f not. Getting that mixed up today yeah so i. Put down to seven degrees to rehab. And he would see it as much difference i. Won't be able to tell until i look at the video. Don't seem to be reading the top of the. Left small star top left tagged her. Right there so a little bit all over the. Place sorry didn't chew him to get all. Kinds of wonderful excuses missing that. Bozo think he what i found. Thanks only real bullets 240 greener. Said i just happened to find him my kit. So I'm gonna stuff up down her see how. She works it out here. Amusing. Or butter is lou and the pine-scented. Stuff I'll never buy again the whole kit. Stinks like fake pine. Yeah some news i want a reduce load of. Course. To west. You know. Whoa it's stuck to the end of the ramrod. Yeah it's not shallow enough that things. Set up for a rep conical has more. Painful grabbed onto the end of the. Bullet kind of watch that to you. You'll see it happens here. I should have benched that just to see. What the difference is bottom left. That's where she went through what a. Different jag flattering on her. So I'm still using 50 grains 3f. Venturous at this time to see where. We're at. Harder and harder to see you here. Hi and left say the targets getting. Blurrier all right is a bit messed up. That's not hoping i hear panem fletching. Because my shoulders are sore just keep. Shooting don't we love that echo seem to. Like that spot high in life but again. That's standing. Yeah one percussion cab left in that tin. No sense taking that homie that's there. Ball. I love these black power guns here's out. Cheek and a sore shoulder and not bad. It's getting barreled. I'm very dirty and cited in traditions. Kentucky cushion rifle 50 caliber and. Just like the flintlock of course they're identical other than that action. That one gorgeous right they are a. Beautiful looking gun. While wood the full woodstock is that's. Half of what makes these things i think. It's getting dark as you can see and. She's quite gorgeous.

Okay this is a peter sloly pennsylvania. Long rifle 45 calibers flintlock little. More complicated in the springfield rifle musket as far as the ignition system, so we have triple f go x maximum. Charge in this is 38 so I'm going to go. A little less than that okay take you. For 40 caliber ball and I'm a hatch that. Is 0.005 thickness makes it fairly easy. To get it down the barrel okay it ran. The little guy home i use go x by the. Way instead of pirate x because you get a faster lock-up time the pirate x tends to have a real delay between the pan going and then the actual charge firing. Okay bullet seated it's ready to roll. Now i need to put some i use four x go x. Here in the channel in the pan. And let's see we can get hopefully not a. Flash in the pan double set triggers as. Soon as you set the back trigger basically brushing the front one sets it. Off more insights and there we go. Petter Sullivan sylvania long rifle.
