First time Shooting the SUPER RARE needle fire Dreyse pistol M1865 - Buy as a replica? Yeah or nay? 

Hi Peter, i will give it a try. But next video will be an awaited build of a Chassepot tuning with a Picatinny rail to mount a scope on. ;)

Yes, I use normal percussion caps. Ammo making is very similar to Chassepot ammo production. I have a video in German where it is explained. But there are lots of vidz in english how you do it.

It is really easy to manufacture, as far as you check out the correct cartridge length (bullet included) before building any paper cartridge. But it takes its time. 😅

@@DrJacks all black powder takes "time" so I need to dive in! I can always learn to swim.

That's a good question. I never tried. But I estimate it will be at least similar.

Hi, the model you're talking about is the earlier M1835 and M1840 Dreyse pistols. I have one of each too. But there were only built about 100-200 pieces of the M1865 pistol. If you want to buy one, you can search for it on gunsinternational. They are incredibly expensive. Dreyse constructed the M1865 for the prussian military as an officers sidearm. But it was abandoned by the military due to its high production costs.

Oh ok i see
