Hi Barry and happy 4th weekend. I did have a ball making the ammo. I also purchased small brass tubing the size of the rolled tubes, but never got around to try them yet. Best regards...Doc
Hi "Just", and a happy 4th weekend to you as well. I was hoping that one of the more seasoned Gents would pick up on the Betamax comparison. ............Doc
That is the shortest carbine I have ever seen. Thank you for the interesting video Doc. I watched this while supper was cooking. Now I can eat it. Happy 4th.
I gotta agree, 30 inches at pretty much .70 is crazy. Tho like a stocked(ish) version of the old horse pistols. Well Good Golly Miss Molly That priming tho...
God dag herr Loken, hope you are having a relaxing summer. That gun sat on the wall for years and it is interesting and I had never shot it. Great fun making the ammo and she was well behaved on the range. Pleased that you could join me on the adventure.....Doc
Hey doc, thank you for the new video, nice to see another rare historic weapon, been wanting to make a game using these sorts of guns for a while and your channel has been a godsend
What a handy little carbine. I like the simple but effective hammer block. The smurking powder gremlin face took a good eye and imagination to see. Were your tubes as sure fire as they seemed off camera. I think CapandBall was the only other tube lock shooter I've seen. Thanks for the effort to bring this one back to life. Gp
Hi Gp, What a nasty little weapon. Can you imagine being in a serious conflict and having a brace of them suspended on your saddle ? The primer tubes worked very well, all I made went off, only one or two needed another wack. Cap & ball has a great channel and this is a gun of his homeland, so he knows them inside and out. The guns of Louis Tiege and Henry Delvigne, the Kammer-buchse, Jagerstutzen, and kammer-louder, all the early arms of the Hapsburg's, even the schpiz-kooger !!! This gun hung on the wall for years, so it was time to experience it. Best regards....Doc
Another great video Doc. I just received my 8 bore pinfire rifle. Waiting on some materials to make the cases, and a mold for the bullet to arrive. I'll post a video when it's shooting again.
Hi Mike, Glad you came along on the shoot. Wow! the 8 bore pinfire sounds grand. Best of luck on the ammo build. One of the favorite cartridges in my collection is an 8 bore "Cement Gun" round used for cleaning out furnaces and kilns. Regards....Doc
Спасибо за отличное видео редкого сейчас образца оружия 😁👍 Это кавалерийский штуцер (для кирасиров, гусаров и т.д.) то есть для тех, которые в отличии от драгунов стреляли не спешиваясь, прямо с лошади, их возили в седельных кобурах. Именно поэтому он и нарезной. У драгунов для стрельбы с лошади был свой специфический тип ружья - "драгона" или "тромблон", стрелял дробью, длиной был такой-же, но гладкоствольный и с раструбом, чтобы удобнее было заряжать сидя на лошади, а спешиваясь они стреляли с обычных карабинов нормальной длины.
Hello, Здравствуйте. Благодарим Вас за информацию о воинских частях и используемом огнестрельном оружии. Я рад, что вы посмотрели презентацию. Хороший Доктор.
GREAT VID. Sad to say tho, it kinda shows why this method/style never hit the big time, so to speak. Thank you tho, I've learned a bit, which I do appreciate. EDITED: After giving this some more thought, I can see where this could have been a really neat cavalry carbine, but that priming system, while mounted, possibly under fire...ugh. I think I'd go with the Joslyn or a Burnside myself, but I'm just an old cowboy, what do I know? But thanks again for the vid.
Hello, and thanks for the comment. I guess this system was fine in its day compared to the flintlock which it was trying to replace, but as you say, in a few years the Joslyn would use a totally contained cartridge. Regards...Doc
BTW I've followed you well, heh, a while, I just never say much, becouse nobody wants to hear what I think. I'm O.K. with that. Keep up the good work Sir.
Hello Sir, I have pondered that myself, and can't make sense of it in its present configuration. I suspect it is the coarse acme thread that holds the breech plug in place, but there is no need to have it extend that far into the chamber. I further conjecture that this breech plug may have been of the system Delvigne and was removed and cut back flush to its present location. Good question. Best regards.....Doc
Another firearm that is on my short list for my collection largely because I want to make the tubes. Thanks for the great video!
Hi Barry and happy 4th weekend. I did have a ball making the ammo. I also purchased small brass tubing the size of the rolled tubes, but never got around to try them yet. Best regards...Doc
I keep waiting for you run out of cool unusual carbines, but you never do. I laughed at the VHS vs Betamax reference. Happy Independence Day.
Hi "Just", and a happy 4th weekend to you as well. I was hoping that one of the more seasoned Gents would pick up on the Betamax comparison. ............Doc
She's a bold little statement.
Well said, good Sir !
Another fantastic presentation. Thank you.
Hi Dave, Happy 4th. Thanks so much for the kind commentary.....Doc
That is the shortest carbine I have ever seen. Thank you for the interesting video Doc. I watched this while supper was cooking. Now I can eat it. Happy 4th.
Hi Robert, Being that short, like a big pistol, it was a little unsettling shooting it in close proximity to ones face.
I gotta agree, 30 inches at pretty much .70 is crazy. Tho like a stocked(ish) version of the old horse pistols. Well Good Golly Miss Molly That priming tho...
Thanks for sharing another interesting gun, with a facinating mechanism. Well done!

I'll bet it made a good "forager" with about 3/4 oz of No.6 shot. Thanks for another great video. I wish you were my neighbor.
Agreed Sir, I would hate to be on the receiving end of that load. ( or a buck-n-ball )..................Doc
Neat carbine. That is one cool anvil.
Hi John, thank you. The anvil is stamped Portsmouth Navy Yard, England, 1841.
Excellent vid, very informative and very well edited.
Hi Dan, and thanks so much for the benevolent commentary, it is appreciated. Regards...Doc

P.S. I had to crack a grin myself the moment I saw the little face emerge.

I have the same gun! Mine was converted to musket caps and sold to the America's during the civil war.
Congratulation on your gun accusation, they are not real common in the states. Wouldn't it be grand to know who used it and when. ...Doc
Happy Independence Day Doc 😀😇😊 Amazing Carbine 😇I’m Always Amazed at How You Create The Ammunition For These Historical Firearms Doc 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Chris, and happy 4th to you also. I started this project last November. It was time consuming but loads of fun. Regards...Doc

Wow! where do you find those hidden gems?
They are elusive and turn up in the most unsuspecting places. Thanks so much for watching and the kind comment.......Doc
Fascinating...Any chance you have a pinfire laying around ?
Thanks for commenting and let me direct you to the Mike Harrell channel ( just click on his red M in these comments ). He does a lot with pinfires.
@@dr.durellshepard398 Awesome, thanks.

@@dr.durellshepard398 Agreed, I think It's honestly for me, the priming mechanism, I saw what ya did there, and was like.Wow, intensive.

@@Iowahorse Well Sir, I thank you so much for the support.
Thank you for cleaning your anvil. That was bothering me.
Absolutely Sir, that priming compound is very corrosive. Thank you for commenting.
In your video at about 2:45 there are what look like many rifling grooves, at the breech at least. What's the story there?
