@DeadBaron 5 лет назад

They were designed to be shot, not gather dust and rust away. Just clean and oil properly.

@skepticalbadger 5 лет назад

Do that with all of them, and there will be none left in the future. There is a happy medium of shooting some, keeping others preserved.

@eberbacher007 5 лет назад

not all of them, if you have serial nr 1 of each us military firearm, basically unfired, , they need to be well stored and shown to the public in perfect condition, not used time and time again

@thegoldencaulk2742 5 лет назад

I'll shoot anything once unless it's value is directly derived from it having never been fired. But I don't collect stuff like that. I collect shooters.

@willblucat3335 5 лет назад

Why do I see you on every gun channel I watch?

@cutlerylover 5 лет назад

The only reason we like old stuff is because it brings us back to that era its cool because its rare so why not enjoy it, if your talking about a gun and know it wont blow up in your face shoot it its way more fun than holding it :) Oldest gun I own is my wifes, a 12G side by side from 1902, it shot like it was made last week...Only WAAAAAAY smoother :)

@mateobang6334 Год назад

Yea I bought a shotgun from 1907 but I only shot it once because the one barrel has a crack halfway thought the inside of the barrel. Maybe I’ll just load it really light to shoot it

@sonnygunz9207 5 лет назад

You guys are talking about really old guns. I have noticed people lately thinking that guns made from 1860 to 1950 are to old to shoot. I laugh and politely set them straight.

@andyd2960 4 года назад

I have a muzzleloader from the 1870s. I intend to hunt with it this year.

@mannequinfukr Год назад

I have a ballard made in the 1880s that shoots really well

@ericschulze5641 Год назад

Trust me they didn't listen

@mateobang6334 Год назад

What if the barrel has a crack though the inside of it

@troydecker9685 5 лет назад

Ive got a 1917 Enfield that was refurbed in 1941. I shoot it all the time. It is one of my favorite rifles i have.

@Rumblestrip 5 лет назад

Definitely agree. That's why I sent my wife's Trapdoor Springfield to Mark. I truly want her and others to enjoy it. I also agree smokeless is a fad lmao

@bobb.9152 5 лет назад

We break out great great granpas 45-70 rem. Rolling block from time to time and shoot it for the family. Black powder of course. It killed a buffalo in wyoming and shot a gris in northern cal. Documented. Shoot on.

@paleosteveo3501 5 лет назад

Mark and Eric in the same video?! New Shad video on Chainswords? New Forgotten Weapons about A South African polymer frame BHP? Excellent day for youtube.

@yankey4 5 лет назад

DUDE ARE YOU STILL HERE!! I live here in Charleston South Carolina. Would love to shake your hand.

@williamkeith8944 5 лет назад

A good example of guns not being shot are old Colt firearms. "Oh no, don't shoot that, don't turn the cylinder! Blah,blah,blah... I have an old WW2 Mauser that I shoot all the time. It is now 80 years old.

@miketeeveedub5779 5 лет назад

Don't fire modern shotgun shells in an old Damascus barrel shotgun. I have 2 that previous owners did, the barrels didn't come completely apart.

Should I shoot an old handgun, which is new in the box?

@thatguyoverthere9634 5 лет назад

If its valuable, no, it's worth saving. If it was a large production commercial handgun then sure

@Mac-pi4cy 5 лет назад

Getting shot in the box would smart a little!

@jdod64 5 лет назад

I fire my gewehr 88, it's almost 130 years old. Headspace is tight and i only had to make a ejector for it.

Even the most expensive original vintage cars get driven or else the engines seize and the seals rot.

@Michael-kn2kw 5 лет назад

I don't own anything that old, but the majority of my rifles are 75+ years old. Id also say that your videos led me towards those rifles (especially the K31). This was a great topic to cover. Love it.

All of my collection gets rounds put through them. Mausers m1 carbines and of course everything thing in between. my oldest is a mauser that's just 100 years old.

@AlanGriffith Год назад

Mark I'd an incredible bank of knowledge. Using his methods I fixed a friend's heirloom underlever 16 gauge that was assumed to never shoot again.

@nekoghostgunner1129 5 лет назад

I didn't get a 100 year old civilian Luger to just look at it. Always take the opperrtunity to experience a gun.

@MrMacroJesseSky 5 лет назад

If you handload you can shoot anything provided it’s in decent condition. Really opens up a world of firearm collecting. In old guns it’s mostly the wood that is the most fragile than the actual receiver

@kingtrumpet123 Год назад

I have 3 shotguns that seem to be around WWI era, and of course the 1932 Mosin. I shoot them all. Now I take it easy and only throw a few low based shotshells through the old shotguns, but I get them out every now and then, shoot them, clean them back up, and it just feels right.

@mre.w.2850 5 лет назад

It's not how old but what's the condition if its clean tidy with minimal pitting in the barrel it's good to go, correct powder charge to match no problem, if its tatty poor condition with a barrel like a sive common sense says don't even try it, but why not keeping them going keeps the parts moving

@ProbablyTooLoud 5 лет назад

There's nothing like s good 'ol American Fort. Oh the stories they could tell.

@Cletrac305 Год назад

I completely agree, and extended this same philosophy to my other equipment. As an example, on my old cars etc. If it's really nice but not a cherry or one off i have no problems putting the original engine and trans preserved on my shelf and building the motor i want for it. If it bolts on and requires no permanent modification BUT allows me to use it and demonstrate its potential to a younger generation whom i can allow to operate it and see the massive difference between theory, simulation, imagination and actually doing it, while preserving the original parts from wear I go for it!

@maverick3576 5 лет назад

"Take care of your rifle and it will take care of you." My father instilled that in me at an early age, and he was right. Do the maintenance!

@spyderxtra777 5 лет назад

@coldandaloof7166 5 лет назад

The biggest problem I have had is finding a qualified gunsmith. I have found some hacks that talked a good talk but when it came down to thier work it left me feeling that there are very few men left who know how to work on guns properly. When I see the work that Mark puts into his Anvil videos I know this to be true.

@thomascampbell5755 5 лет назад

Wish I'd have known you were in the palmetto state! We could've made some bang bang sounds.

@1861James 5 лет назад

I shoot all my old guns, Trapdoor, Snider, Martini & Gras

@PrescottCaliberClub 5 лет назад

I'm having a full auto MP44 built now, Mark didn't wanna build it. I'm shooting it 100% without a doubt. I have a case of ammo already!

@williamnicholson8133 5 лет назад

Just use appropriate loads for the weapon and maintain it and you should be alright.

@JettyDeke 5 лет назад

I wish I would have known you guys were in Charleston. I would have loved to meet you guys.

@mattbrophy1900 5 лет назад

Mark Novak said, I've filled barrels with lead. . . I use to watch Mark Novak gunsmith channel until he said he cut someone's shotgun bolt in half because "it wasn't safe." I have my Great Grandfathers and Great Uncles shotguns, if he did that to those guns. . . Well you know. I have no plans to shoot those guns. My personal option, I don't like the man because he will destroy guns he deems unsafe - no respect. I don't even watch C&Resnal anymore because of Mark.

@ek8710 3 года назад

I have to agree, it's over stepping a line cutting up bolts and it'd be interesting to see where he stands legally. Advise repair or deactivation to the owner and go from there, don't take it upon yourself to make a poorly firearm worse.

@dustynewman1 5 лет назад

I have a Civil War Enfield that was converted to 45-70 rolling block by Carolina Arms.

@TheTexan99 5 лет назад

You should do a video on how many slugs it takes to crack a shotgun

@georgelong4888 5 лет назад

I agree. I have 2 1873 Springfield Trapdoor Carbines , both made before the Battle of the Greasy Grass. And I shoot them when ever I feel like it.

@WhyteLis21 5 лет назад

This can be apply to anything man made with the right mind set that is. Just like an old car. Should you drive that old car? If it's well maintain over the years, then yes. 😁

@stevelucier8346 5 лет назад

2017 a new not so common caliber gun was introduced in a not so common finish. Well I managed to bring home #32 made some four months after the release. It is a shooter. Not a time piece.

@InSightFreedom 5 лет назад

Great discussion and interview. One of my favorite places in the mouth of the Savanah.

@germaxicus6670 5 лет назад

Real men shoot black powder. How do I convert my AR fo black powder???

@kenibnanak5554 5 лет назад

You gain a lot of appreciation for today's guns and how far they have come when you start off with some old, single shot, black powder pieces and experience the progression of designs up to the modern world's AKs and ARs. Similar when you start off with a flintlock pistol and move on to percussion revolvers, early cartridge pistols, then early semi autos before finally reaching your CZs and Glocks.

@justcallmomy 5 лет назад

HI Chad or Eric, are you guys friends with Ian?

@gizmofire 5 лет назад

To be honest I am looking for a replica of a Lorenzoni with rifling, not the musket version. I think it would be fun to shoot a repeting flintlock.

@Mark-W5ADK 5 лет назад

Great to see you guys collaborating together! I don't own anything I can't fire. I have 3 Swiss Vetterli rifles, 2 from 1870. Swiss 1889, 1893, 1897, and 1882 revolver. Also a Frommer Stop and Dreyse 1907. I shoot them all... That is at least half the fun of having them! Thanks for the videos guys!

@ek8710 3 года назад

I have an 1889 and 1893. Love them, the 1889 is a very special rifle to me

@hamm6035 4 года назад

An original Peabody Martini. In .43 Spanish. I'm guessing 1870 to 1874 by the serial number and Providence tool co. records/history. Amazing to shoot. It's an all day thing.

@mahbriggs 3 года назад

Oldest I have shot is a 45-70 Springfield Trapdoor. I am kind of passed I did not buy the 50 car. Springfield muscle loader. Supposedly a Civil war weapon.

@doraran2138 5 лет назад

Good video. I have a few serious questions: 1) When you say have it 'checked out', what are the points that are checked? Not wanting to take importance of gunsmith, but what exactly are you looking for? This would be helpful info when purchasing something. 2) Where does metal fatigue play into factor into this. Old US Krag rifles have document cracks in bolts. Springs fatigue and fail as well as certain parts subjected stress. Any suggestions on what to do? 3) Uncertain past history of gun. Past users (abusers) of a piece could have weaken critical parts. Two example that come to mind are Colt 1902 auto pistols in .38 ACP fired with .38 Super and C96 Mauser pistols fired with 7.62x25mm Tokarev or worse, CZ52 7.62 that is even hotter. Prior shooter could have fired these inappropriate rounds just short of failure, stressing parts to eventual breakage by next shooter. Any suggestions on how to factor this variable? 4) Not readily visible erosion, especially in breach areas of muzzle loaders that can undermine metals and fail under pressure. I saw an 1863 Springfield barrel at breach spit to what was blamed a narrow but very deep pit in metal. Corrosion at hammer welding junctures of damascus or twist barrels as well as welds coming loose and 'unwinding'. How do you check? Get one of those bore cameras that you can see inside breech and barrel? 5) Poor, rusted, corroded or pitted bore. Doesn't the roughness on inside of barrel increase friction thus increase pressure? How much is acceptable/how much too much? (Obviously I'm wanting generalities not a specific response.) Anyway, these are some concerns I've always had with old guns.

@thatsmrharley2u2 5 лет назад

I bought an 1849 Colt Pocket Model, 5 1/2 " barrel, made in 1860 a few years ago. Did I shoot it? Hell yeah I shot it. All 5 chambers. It nows sits in a display box with all the accessories. A few friends asked me why on Earth would I shoot a revolver that's almost 160 years old. Well, first I wanted to see if it still functioned, and it did, without a hitch. Secondly, as I was shooting it I was thinking about who shot it last... Under what circumstances? WHO owned it? Did it perhaps kill or maim somebody and did it save the persons life that owned it? It's a piece of living history, people. Where else can you actually experience something like that?! Hell yeah I shot it, and besides, how many people can say they shot a pistol made before the Civil War? Can you?

@giuseppe4909 3 года назад

If you alter the gun significantly, yes, you probably reduce its collector value....I prefer to make the correct load for the gun. That being said, if you own it....do what you want to enjoy it.

@McClungMichaell 5 лет назад

Got a question for you guys. I have an 1864 Springfield Joslyn, never been shot was my Grandads; it looks brand new 155 years old,it came from an arsenal in Indiana. Would shooting it devalue it as a collectable ? If I shot it I'd have to have ammo made for it I know.

@thomaswashburn3513 5 лет назад

Last month I shot a Winchester 1873 38-40 made in 1888 for the first time. Last year I had the firing spring (not sure of the technical term, but the leaf spring on the lower tang) replaced. It was my dad’s gun and my entire life it had a broken firing spring. I’m 44 years old now. It was taken to a gunsmith first.

@chrisoseland4643 Год назад

So i have a 1873 Winchester manufactured in 1891. I bought and replaced the hammer lever and it seems like the pin engages fine. Its a .38 sp and the rifling seems good on it. Would it be a good idea to get it into a gunsmith first or should I just give it a shot?

@joshlanter0928 2 года назад

I found an old 1928 Colt 38 at my Grandparents home. It was rusted up. I soaked it in WD40 for a week, then pried it open, loaded it up and shot it. Since then I've gotten 90% of the rust off and can hit a torso sized target at 100 yards with it

@sparkplug1018 5 лет назад

Unless it is something stupidly rare, shoot it. Its that simple. Like they said, if its in good condition and you can get the right ammo go for it. Would I ever take that original .45 ACP Luger out to the range? Hell no! But I sure as hell will take my Steyer M95 out to the range, the fact its 115 years old doesn't mean much.

@poppopscarvinshop 5 лет назад

Did y'all go fishing at Santee-Cooper?

@Verdha603 5 лет назад

I absolutely shoot mine. With proper maintenance and firing ammunition that falls within safe SAAMI specs, of course. That’s precisely why I can never buy a firearm in pristine condition, because I know for a fact that I’m going to shoot it after I buy it.

@rogerj412 5 лет назад

One of the most fun rifles I've ever had the opportunity to shoot is a Winchester M1917 in 30-06. Winchester made the fewest of them from what I've been told and the gun will run all day and night. The trigger is wonderful and so are the iron sights. People if you have an old gun in shooting condition do yourself a huge favor and shoot it. There's a certain quality that modern guns lack compared to old guns and they deserve for people to know just how good they were and still are.

@mannys9130 5 лет назад

So, I suppose it depends on the collector that you ask whether that target Vetterli's value was destroyed. I say no. You made a new firing pin and the gun WORKS now. Guns were made to be shot. I don't really want to own a gun that's so collectable I can't have fun shooting it. I'll let other guys preserve those specimens and I'll own and use the used and storied examples. :)

@stephenmitchell3569 5 лет назад

Common sense and enjoying shooting, even better sharing the sport.

@tootall5559 5 лет назад

I feel that guns should be shot, cars should be driven, toys should be played with, whatever they may be. There comes a point though that thigns get so valuable that do you risk it? Guns, yeah, you control everything, but a car, driven on the street that's worth a whole lot of money... no, probably not, but on a private track, sure. Oh, what is the name of the smokeless powder that's designed to be used in place of black plowder?

@brentwinkelman1990 5 лет назад

Recently got my vetterli converted...hoping to shoot a bear with it this fall...super excited... reloading for it has been an experiment for sure

@polarjet1833 3 года назад

Thanks for making this especially since I recently found an original WW1 M1897 Winchester

@kurtvanduran7725 5 лет назад

I shoot ever gun in my collection, if I can’t shoot it why do I want it? When I inherit my great granddads lc Smith black powder shoot gun I’ll get it checked out and take it to the range... sounds like fun. I was named after my great grandfather so shooting his gun ( first one he got when he arrived in America) would be an honor.

@shotgunjack5564 5 лет назад

Thankyou so much for this video. I love it. I have a stupid question. I have a old h&r single shot shotgun that a love and i shoot as much as possible. Lately I got the idea that I want shorten the barrel.,due to the fact that I want it to be my truck gun. I Know the problem is that it is only a single shot but I love this gun so much. And I am unsure if a should do it because I heard that H&R is not making fire arms any more thus will.H&R shotguns start being collectables. Will shortening the barrel ruin the value of this gun.

IV8888 I have a reloading video request. I have a Egyptian greener in 13ga ( as far as I can tell it uses a straight wall case) and cant really seem to find any reloading data and I would love to shoot it. If I provide the shot gun could you do a reloading video on how to reload these shotshells? I really want to shoot it and use it for skeet shooting and maybe some slugs now and then.

@Patrick_B687-3 3 года назад

Jay Leno would agree, and does drive his cars. Like his near 100 year old Bugatti’s and older steamers.

@bunkstagner298 5 лет назад

Exactly they are made to shoot. Now your responsibility is to use them correctly and clean to operating room cleanliness. It is the responsibility to the future to do that . Enjoy it them pass it on.

@tim7325 5 лет назад

The wealth of human knowledge is at your fingertips, if you don't know the proper load chances are there is a youtube video or article out there that can help you. Get out and shoot and enjoy them!

@kris6682 5 лет назад

Haven’t watched the video yet but my opinion is if your not going to shoot it let someone else buy it same with cars why buy it if your just going to carry it around on a trailer
