  • The chamber loading system was an early variant of the capping or percussion breech loading guns. The Norwegian and Swedish Kammerlader rifles were ones from the very first models to be accepted by an army. Here is the story of the Swedish Kammerlader.

    I find it amazing that this loading mechanism never caught on among other armies outside of Scandanavia. It seems so simple yet effective and seems not to compromise accuracy for rate of fire to any measurable degree.

      I know right its way less hassle just gotta count your shots excessive fouling after awhile acts as a barrel obstruction id figure it need a wad cleaning after so many shots but even only adding that its higly effective at throwing lead rapidly compared. be fun to hunt with for sure

      The American Army issued M1819 Hall rifle used the same loading system and was converted to cap firing in the 1830’s.
      It was a top hammer having originally been a flintlock.

      @robertlewis8295 Před 2 lety +39

      The Hall did not use a camming mechanism to get a better seal. They used thin sheet metal to protect the stock at the front of the chamber. Stupidly enough, the last model (Hall-North) made for the US military was a smooth bore, the earlier versions were rifled. Responsible for an early civil war scandal, they were declared obsolete and sold 5,000 off for $3.50 each, then in the arms panic the US bought them back for $22 each. The .52 caliber barrel was rifled and the chamber was bored out to accept a .58 caliber projectile (yes, chamber only was increased, not bore size), but that work apparently only cost $0.75 per gun.

      @@robertlewis8295 The Hall had two slightly angled replaceable recoil lugs that (if properly adjusted) pushed the breech and action together for a metal on metal seal. A couple of centuries wear and tear impede its sealing however in most surviving examples.
