Swivel breech rifles are generally legendary in a camp or at an event. These heavy muzzleloaders are mechanically complex, but give marksmen double the firepower of a regular muzzleloader with the simple twist of the barrels.
Today we're looking at an original swivel breech flintlock muzzleloader from the 17th/18th century.
J. Ernst Fielder was active in Ulm around 1760 per "Der Neue Stockel." This combination gun has an octagonal barrel with seven-groove rifling and blade and notch sights and a part octagon, part round barrel with a smoothbore and silver spider blade front sight. Both barrels are signed "J. ERNST FIELDER IN ULM" in silver inlay with some accents

Swivel breach guns are always neat to see, and when they work right, very cool to see.
Hahah! Yes!!
These always make me think of Judge Holden's rifle in Blood Meridian. The Et In Arcadia Ego laid in the stock with silver wire and the rifle fitted in German Silver!
Just got to Judge in my recent re-read. You are dead right!
Actually this is what Glanton used
Nice! Thanks again Ethan.
Very interesting and useful Muzzleloader. Also nice detailing
Incredible! So cool to see. Would have loved to see the inside workings on the lock.
Always loved the swivel breach set up... someday I will build one.
You should!
My God, that thing is beautiful.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
sweet...
WOW what a beauty the original over an under combo rifle shot gun if i had money i d tell you what i d do
Same!
Really nice to see, great video.
What was the rifle shotgun carried by the fishing Indian in Jeremiah Johnson. And could you alaberate what that gun might have been.
Hi JJ, I'll have to dig out my Jerimiah Johnson DVD and get back with you.
It maybe this rifle...
I don't know. Has always stumped me?
Is there much of an advantage to this Vs a side by side double rifle in practice?
With a side by side, both barrels are regulated to one point of aim for a certain load, and can only be changed if re regulated. A swivel breach each barrel is sighted in just like a single barrel rifle. To me, that's a big advantage.
Bud makes good points on the accuracy. Historically, we see the side by side being much more popular becuase it was a simpler, more durable design than the swivel breech. While I love them, they have their growing pains
What a beautiful weapon! How much does it weigh?
I didn't have a scale, but it was pretty hefty, close to 15 I'd say
@@ILoveMuzzleloading Thank you!
Thats not fairplay 😢 they took my idea 🤣🤣 and for sure I agree .... it is realy hard to get this system working well. Specialy the swivel mechanism is hard to adjust because it is need to get it free of any clearance. The wooden barrel sideplates are so thin that it will need a lot of care not to break them during fitting..... Overall a real work of art that requires a good craftsman.......
