Wheres the Baker Rifle and the Brown Bess?? Those are flintlocks, with the Brown Bess having many incremental improvements over the years it was used. While I enjoy all muzzleloaders ( except those bastard inlines) my main interest has always been in the pre flintlock era of firearms. I hope to eventually own at least one handgonne, matchlock and wheelock as even reproductions of these guns are not seen, in least my area at least. There are a lot of shooters that have no knowledge of early firearms history, I always try and post a few vids to show those who may have an intrest. |

Just seen this vid, told my wife I want it for my 10 year anniversary gift in a couple months, walked away shaking her head for some reason. Not sure why.

Always wanted a Sharp's rifle, but my intrest lie mainly with older front stuffers. I have fun with modern guns, but there is something about those old muzzleloaders. |

Is that 70 by chance a target barrel? I can't be sure if they were doing that in 1948, but I remember shooting a Pre-'64 at the range that was chambered in .300 H&H. The barrel looked like a baseball bat. Also, please post a picture of the Model 70 so I can get angry jealous? |

I do have a Ruger Model 1 in .375H&H that has a thicker barrel. I'll grab a photo of it tomorrow and post it. The Winchester is a "well used" rifle, but it adds to the character. My son has gotten half a dozen deer with it so it holds extra sentimental value to me. |

Just in case you find yourself face to face with a cape buffalo Yeah but with it only being a single shot you better make it a good one! Not sure where my father got it, but I only remember him ever shooting it at the range. I inherited it when he passed. |

I like the look of firearms, especially a single action army, or a 1911, but I've never actually held, let alone fired, a gun. I like watching Demolition Ranch, because of his humour, and Hickock45 because he teaches me something in every video.

Been shooting since I was 6 years old. |

Might be someone near you who could teach gun safety + range trip |
