If you leave the touch hole uncovered and just have the powder in the pan with an airgap there will be less delay. It burns hotter and less like a fuse.
Thank you
There's NOTHING more satisfying than making your own tools or toys and then putting them to good use. Congrats! Eat lots of turkey.
Hello. This blunderbuss kit is manufactured in Spain, by the Ardesa company. Traditions markets it in the United States. Greetings from Spain.
Hello gentlemen. It's good, you made a turkish-Otoman rifle blunderberg very good. At the back, the wooden lodge, although it is American style, it is not Ottoman, Turkish style, but nothing. You have made it strong, comfortable, beautiful.
Great video. Definitely going to purchase one and try it out.
This is the most Looney Toons looking excuse for a blunderbuss I've ever seen.
It’s the handle isn’t it lol
@@alexmoquin9994you mean the stock?
Many did have wide barrels like this to make it easier to load on horseback.
You're the most loony Toon's looking excuse for a human I've ever seen!
Jk 😊

Well then don't buy one.
Nice
Great video!
Easiest kit ever. 2 hrs. Beautiful gun! Very little sanding, gun is not like the rifle kits. Best first time, but this was the second (I did a Hawken, first). Traditions is a great product!
love black powder.. always wanted a blunder buss... their in stock too.. but alas si think im going to get the 1858 Buffalo first.. thoe 12 inch barrel bisson guns are always out of stock and now 1 iss finally in stock out of 17 websites ive checked..
but man i wish i had a blunderbuss.. next time maybe. I would have used Lint seed oil though to stain that if thats actual walnut
You said in the video that the barrel is riffled to the bell, but the website has it listed as a smooth bore. Is there a different option for the rifled barrel or do they not make them anymore?
Awesome guys nice 👌 👍 🗽🇺🇸

I've got the percussion version. I dyed the wood ebony and left the barrel white. I have to drive a few miles to find real black powder. Pyrodex is easier to find, so that's why I went with the percussion version as flintlocks work better with the real stuff. But yeah, it is a fun gun to shoot! Though I only tend to use it to blow holes in junk and grab some attention at the range. lol
I loved this video . I remember my dad made a coffee table. He whipped it with a chain.❤. You gun is beautiful. Great job. I'm buying that kit next month. Thank you for the tips
I think they went overboard with that bell. That could have been a bit smaller, it would have looked more “authentic”.
That is awesome....lol
Hey Daren.
I’m looking to buy one of the
Are u actually shooting turkeys with it
How did pirates keep their gunpowder from getting wet on the ship? How did they keep their powder dry?
It would be kept in large oak kegs, or a single person would carry powder around in a horn. Powder would definitely get wet though and be rendered useless. Just apart of the struggle.
They tried their very best not to capsize ;)
It was a constant challenge, but the best they could do was get high quality powder and high quality barrels, and keep the magazine as dry as possible. Eventually though, the powder would likely degrade, even in the best of conditions. Sailors would keep personal use powder in special tins or horns, often seal with wax when stored.
I plan to get one very soon, I don't have any tools, what tools could you recommend to assemble it? I think this is very cool...great video.
I bet this would be fun to squirrel hunt with using the bird shot
What website can I order from
Do I need a license for the black powder
“What’s a blunderbuss Gary?”
“Not much what’s a blunderbuss witchu?”
Great a 28 gauge Blunderbuss! LOL, SILLY, They could have AT LEAST made it 62 cal ( 20 gauge).
You need to close the frizzen after priming the pan. Technically primed or not but leaving it open when primed is a very dangerous practice. If someone smoking walks by and an ember happens to float down to the pan, you guessed it. Nice video but don't leave an open pan especially if it's primed.
bro it looks like he's at his own fucking house, dude can do whatever he feels like doing.
@@BeetleBuns he may very well be at his house....but being the high number of tide pod eaters like yourself out there, this can be taken as a common practice. Then when you go to a range and do this, there's other people nearby that are at risk of your carelessness. Class dismissed.
@@nickdershem7724 yeah it's not like little sparks and shit aren't flying at a target range haha.
@@JamesReedy that's the thing, there could be... someone smoking, range neighbors burning stuff, or anything else that could produce an ember can travel a mile or two and land on the priming charge. Nice try though.
@@nickdershem9357 nice try? Doesn’t make any sense bro, I was agreeing with you lol. I have a 50 BMG the muzzle blast goes everywhere, knocks stuff off adjacent benches etc.
What is the maximum firing range of a blunderbuss anyway? like 15 to 20 yards?
Depends on what you're using as a projectile, but accurately, I wouldn't put it much past 30 yards
In my humble opinion that was way too much powder for such a little shot ammount. Also halfing the priming powder would make the flash much quicker, you seemed to have a very slow burn-in
Ya, that is getting close to a deer rifle charge. I bet more than 50g wouldn't burn in that short of a barrel
I have one of these kits as well. I noticed there was a tiny gap between the barrel and the flash pan. is this normal?
What is the maximum firing range for a blunderbuss? like 15 to 20 yards?
I had the same issue. I went ahead and inletted the lock another 1/8” to close that gap. Functions fine. That must have been a flaw in manufacturing.
Is there a way to blue the inside of the barrel?
I dont see why you would considering the blasting would just ruin thr coat. They used to be made of gun brass, which stained less.
You can have multiple felonies even violent and they can't take that from you or keep you from buying one
They've starting trying to slip flintlocks etc into new gun bills. I believe that NY is the only state that considers black powder guns a firearm currently.
They won't stop chipping away at the constitution until it's all gone.
This kit is nearly $500.
For it to be a poor mans gun it's awfully expensive and its not even finished or assembled for that $500. I want a blunderbuss but thats a ridiculous price for what you get!
I guess if I want one I'll just have to make it myself. Sounds like a fun project!
Vinegar will dull shiny new brass
Its not brass
Too much primer and you don,t want it over your touch hole. That’s why you had a slight hang fire.
Do you have to do a background check? I wanted to get it as a gift for my son
On powder weapons, you do not. I am from Texas and they don’t require an ffl or background check.
@@patriot3431 true but just found out if you have a class c misdemeanor family violence. You can’t get one that sucks so bad
@@thehive7571 Not true. Black powder muzzle loaders are not considered firearms by the ATF, so there are no restrictions based on criminal record, age, gender, how ugly you are, or anything else. But there may be a state law, so check on that too.
@@paulandsarahdenubilo5195 yea there is because a black powdered gun can be converted into a guy that can use bullets so your out of luck there
He doesn't have much experience with flintlocks.it shows,but entertaining
C0oL sToRy bRuH! DeRrrp
why do you say that i thought he did fine
@@65stang98 well for starters he used too much priming powder and clogged up the touchhole with priming powder. Notice how much of a delay that shot had? It should be almost instant.
Really going to lean over that while loading it? Only make that mistake once.
Imagine breaking into someone's house and seeing the homeowner point this thing in your face and the last thing you ever hear is the click of the hammer. Tally ho lads.
Did I hear right? Rifled barrel. If so not a blunderbus.
I just got mine, don't think it's rifled. There are swirl marks in the barrel but it looks more like the marks from the barrel being turned on a lathe. The circles looks concentric, they don't run down the barrel in a long swirl like on normal rifles.
It is a smoothbore, this fella misspoke.
Wish it wasn't rifled and only 50cal tho.
That thing looks more like a trumpet!! the barrel shape at the muzzle is not the Blunderbuss slow taper more a joke.
Awesome assembly but man stop drinking the bong water i ain't scratchen shit
