Because of your videos on this musket and Military Heritage in general, I purchased a 1795 Springfield musket from them some months ago. I love the gun, it is well made and the fit and finish is outstanding. Keep the informative videos.
I can’t wait to strip and re finish the stock on my ‘77. Just don’t have a place to do it at the moment. Mine came with a very low off center barrel band front sight post. I ground it off and soldered on a taller brass blade. Hopefully it will aid my accuracy. So far I haven’t been able to replicate the fine display of accuracy you’ve shown in your previous videos.… been playing with loads from 80-130g 1-2 fg. Using .648 and .662 balls…. .. Been too cold to shoot here in middle Iowa or I’d be out trying to fix it…. Love shooting it, can’t seem to shoot it well consistently. I think it’s a flinch and I’m pushing the shots right with my off hand…. Wanted to take a deer with it this year but I gotta do better if flinching is the case. I think military heritage should be obliged to offer a commission for the sales you’ve generated… maybe a case or two of powder.
Outstanding! I just picked up an authentic 1767/8 and am looking for a reproduction lock just like the one on yours to get me by until I find a historically accurate replacement.
a heck of a thing to be in combat with ... you can well see why sword wielding galloping cavalry didn't have much fear of the projectile rate of fire .. great video, love the close-ups
Trooper Cody with a bit of practice not hard to get 3 rounds a minute, 17 inche bayonet was really the biggest danger to the cavalry. We used to do renactments at old Sydney town convicts vs red coats with a few mounted officers involved, showed pretty well how displinced you had to be to stand up to cavalry or even lighthorse .
@@matthewcharles5867 great input there mate, yes, I heard years ago the idea of the harsh British Army training was to make each man a brick that then became part of an unbreakable wall ... I really liked that. discipline is all cobber, cheers
Looking to add a correct flintlock (either a Charleville, Springfield 1795, or Brown Bess) replica to my collection... although actual black powder is getting hard to come by as well.
"Brown Bess this, Brown Bess that" Yeah well, Charleville was around for just as long! I remember a tv show (maybe it was Battlefields) claiming the Charleville was a horrible musket.
Say Ethan, are the metal ramrods on the Military Heritage muskets solid, one piece? I ask because I own both Pedersoli & ArmiSport guns , and the metal ramrods are 3 pieces , friction fit together. It streamlined the manufacturing process, but I & friends , have had them come apart under field conditions. I got VERY lucky years back and found a machinist to make a one piece solid rammer for my Brown Bess. I want to buy one of Military Heritage Charlevilles and was wondering. Love the channel,very best regards
Yes All the military Heritage ramrods that are made out of steel are actually made out of solid steel. I might add that the threads also work on track of the wolf worms.
I think they usually put the bayonet on after they stopped shooting. I love your videos. I'm thinking about getting one of these for myself. Any advice on ordering does and dont's?
just find what you like and go for it. most of these india made guns will need a little work when you get them but for the price they can't be beat. if you want a military Heritage gun we have a video on the pros and cons ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-taQTktYbEAA.html
If I purchased the musket - what other items do I need to make it fire .... like leather pad, flintstone, powder type, etc ... do you have a video on those items to get someone up and running ... do you use a powder flask or make your own paper wads ... stuff like that .. thanks -
I am going to buy a musket soon but I can't decide which one. I was thinking about getting one with a cows foot buttstock because I like the look. Which do you think is more comfortable to shoot, the charleville style or the fusil?
Is in my opinion the fusil Is much more comfortable to shoot than the charleville considering that the charleville has a tendency to come up and hit you in the cheekbone unless it's the 1777 where they actually shaved a scallop out of the stock so that it won't hit you in the face as hard
Any difference in shot impact with the bayonet on versus without. ie greater accuracy? given its a musket, like the video. Oh by the way looking totally in charterer.
Yes because when reloading There is a step which is known as "cast about" which basically means you put the butt stock behind you on your left side. With the muzzle pointing up at a 45° angle, the bayonet being offset to the right allows for reloading without as much danger of impaling your hand
I don’t tend to spend money on anything I can’t use for multiple tasks so a bayonet has not been on the priority list. I realize the bayonet charge is a vital tool of Washington’s troops but using it around the homestead? Can opener? I’m sure my Mother would borrow it for the rock gardening.
@@Real11BangBang My front barrel band would jump the retainer too. I worked on it and it hasn’t jumped since. PS: They make a T-shirt on Amazon that uses your favorite quote, “...and keep your powder dry.” 😊
@@Real11BangBang which bayonet did you guys order? because I’m having trouble in choosing between the two options that they have. I’m trying to get one for my napoleonic 1777 musket
Always funny how people will call military heritage guns garbage. You know the indians were occupied as a focal point of their history right? You think they don't know how to make a musket?
