Alright boys and girls, yes, you've seen this episode before, however we were made aware of an issue with the first release of this episode, one we could go back, fix, and re-upload. Points of fix are at 28:42 & 38:56, this is regarding the purpose of the screw above the block. Really it just prevents the block from coming out the gun from one direction, that's it, it isn't necessary to loosen it for disassembly. We appreciate the heads up and when we can we will always try to go back and address any major errors like this. Thank you all for the continued support and I hope ya'll enjoy this second showing of this beautiful reproduction piece!

I feel less bad about abusing this comment though
I was a Civil War reenactor. Our Captain had a chain-fire with his Remington reproduction. Fortunately, it was just loaded with powder and cream of wheat. However, it was impressive to see.

Is it a regular reenactment thing to „load“ (I can’t even imagine how you form a somewhat coherent mass to then compress out of cream of wheat) in your blackpowder guns?
@geraldgriggs3492

@@rolux4853 I never thought the cream of wheat thing worked very well. He would dampen it before putting it over the powder. It obviously didn't prevent a chain fire. This was done because we didn't want anything coming out of the barrel except smoke and fire. A lubed felt wad would have worked much better. However, the felt wad would shoot out of the gun. Crisco had a tendency to melt and the powder would fall out. When we loaded our muskets, we just poured the powder down the barrel from a paper cartridge. We then threw the paper on the ground. Since we were pointing our muskets and pistols at other people, we tried to be very safety conscious. Still, accidents happened. I saw a guy get a ramrod shot into his shoulder.

I had one with a .31 pocket pistol., the bullet passed next to the frame and was cut in two. It scared the hell out of me.

I really appreciate the integrity of your channel. You took the time to correct an error that 99% of your viewers would not have noticed. Congratulations and looking forward to the rest of this series.
I know someone who owns an original Colt Paterson. Other than the blueing being long gone, the pistol is in excellent condition - very likely fully functional, but of course he's never going to find out, lol. He's got what looks to be the original holster, too. I've inspected it many times, and it's just a magnificent example of 19th century technology and piece of American history, regardless of its problems. I've read it may be one of only 150 still in existence.
And then the Mexican-American War were declared... *insert Mariachi music*

My thoughts exactly.
Can’t wait for the 1851 Navy episode! I’m excited like a kid waiting for his favorite show adapted as a movie!
I read that the gun would ship with 3-5 cylinders. The concept of swapping cylinders instead of reloading all 3 components was a real legitimate selling point for colt. That’s 15 to 25 shots ready to fire in seconds. This was used like a we would use a submachine gun today. The troops in Texas sure did a good job against natives and Mexican combatants during that time period. The Patterson was the first mass produced force multiplier that could easily be used by one person.
My experience with .36 caliber black powder cap and ball revolvers totally convinced me that caliber was a pea shooter which likely wouldn't harm a rabbit at 20 yards. AND THEN...I heard the legendary story of Bill Hickock in a "walk down" duel, shot a man dead with a .36 caliber ball through the heart at 75 yards.(with a Colt Navy)
Okay, so, yet again... I'M SO EXCITED FOR MORE BLACK POWDER CONTENT!
The "taper" is from the originals. Wedges were a VERY common way to assemble machinery in those days. Look at steam engines of the era.

They’ll just have you swap the cylinder. Which is plausible but theirs no record of anyone ever doing this. That doesn’t mean no one ever did though.
I can't imagine how much work you guys must be doing behind the scenes. Launching a whole new series in the middle of Primer, thanks for giving us so many great vids!

And they're working on the shotgun series, too!
Great show. Very informative and entertaining. One reason cap jams weren't nearly the problem in the cap and ball era that they can be today is that the caps themselves were made of a thinner and flimsier metal, so when they would get stuck between the cylinder and frame, they'd just flatten and/or fall apart rather than stop the cylinder turning.
I will happily watch all this a second time. Love the honesty and willingness to update videos.
Holding the pistol vertically while cocking allows the expended cap to fall free thus avoiding cap jams. This also helps in cocking the pistol.
Yes, we get to support you more through our repeated engagement!
I watched the majority of the WW1 shows. But I have been shooting and collecting black powder rifles and pistols for the last 30 or so years. This is a nice surprise and I look forward to seeing what else they come up with. Good show, thanks.
I really like your style of videos, I don't care much which guns you do videos on, I'll watch. This series in particular I really like because it combines the history of the original with reproductions that I would actually consider buying. Even if I could afford an original I wouldn't be interested because I want guns I can shoot without worrying about them.
Never thought I would've been this invested in the sort of guns my dad would've dreamt about shooting with while he was reading Old Shatterhand as a kid. The things you learn about yourself and old gats....
Thanks for reuploading, I admire your willingness to admit mistakes and dedication to making sure you present the most accurate information possible.
When a great episode gets even better
Thank you guys so much for getting into these black powder revolvers. they have become one of my most favorite hobbies in the last 2 years. Collecting these firearms is extremely fun. Especially when you start getting to play with the original ones. I'm sure you're going to cover nitrided paper cartridges. They make loading these guns a lot faster. Plus there are a lot of fun to make. I recommend everybody look into eras gone bullet molds. 4 original conical bullet molds. And a KZread channel called guns of the old West. he sells forming tools to make the paper cartridges.
I clicked thinking this was part 2. I’m not disappointed, and am still excited for the continuation of this series
Remington. The 1858 was revolutionary. My favorite Reprocussion. Switching out cylinders almost as easy as a magazine.
Thanks for the fixes, and I'm settling in to watch all over again!
Yeah. I’m down. This area of firearms is a huge weakness in my knowledge base. Bravo! Regards, Marky
As a fan of non-firearms, I am SO PLEASED with your "Reprocussion" videos.I am glad to be a Patreon of this effort.
My first look at this new series, and I enjoyed it. The older the better.
half of me hates that these drive up prices. the other more reasonable half is super happy! ever since the first vid, there have been so many people at the black powder only and cowboy action ranges! i always worry that they only stay open due to benefactors in CA, but im happy to be proved wrong. thanks for the extra friends in these trying times!
This is going to be a great series! Cant wait to see more
more, More, MORE OF THESE! Excited for when you reach the Dragoons.
Very cool that you folks keep these up to date with new info. Excellent work as always! Hope you had a relaxing Christmas, you deserve it!
You need a single shot to compare against. GREAT episode.
Here's a comment about how awesome it is that you guys will reupload an episode, probably at some expense, just to correct a few small technical details. Bravo.
Can you create a seperate playlist for the Reprocussion series please? It took me a while to track this down again.
Black powder, cap and ball! Slowly and minutely detailed! Yum yum, I will enjoy this greatly! Thank you Guys and Happy New Year!
Glad to see the dedication to correct information even when it could be hard on the exposure! Black powder series!!! So excited!
I’m certain that my 1851 clone has a half moon cutout on the wedge screw such that you have to time it to the slot in the wedge to get the wedge out. Now you’ve made me question everything I thought I knew...
So good I’ll watch it again!
Thanks for doing this series! I'd love to see more like this!
Thank You for updating and releasing again. I am finding this new topic interesting.
Thanks for putting in the effort for the fixes, you guys really do go the extra mile for us :)
Damn it, Othais and Mae, I already was going to watch this again and here you go putting it right back at the top of my subscription box so I don't have to go hunting for it. How irritatingly nice of you!
Good on the corrections, although I never would have noticed myself. Your commitment to excellence is most admirable.
I watched the first one. I really like this new series. The repros are accessible, relatively inexpensive, available, and a ton of fun. Might open up a whole new collection for some folks
Nice job on the edit. Perfect excuse to watch it all again!
This is an awesome idea for a series. Great work as always!
Love the new series, eagerly awaiting more episodes!! Happy new year to everyone!! Stay safe and God bless 🇺🇸☠️🇺🇸!!!
Awesome idea for a new series, and I look forward to more episodes on more of the later model colts.
Ladies and gentlemen! This is revolver number 5!
I’m gunna thoroughly enjoy these episodes!
Love this series, hope you all keep up the great work!
Cool ! I get to watch this again ! Great episode !
Thanx O&M. Y'unz found a new subject I like and that is percussion firearms. Ill watch them all and comment when needed. Thanx again,
Thank you for your diligence in your work.
Your commitment to accuracy is inspiring.
Looking forward to this series!
That loading segment was so interesting yet soothing.
Thanks for the update, and the excuse to watch this again.
Enjoying the new series guys.
This is great can't wait for the 1851 Navy content one of my favourites
Thank for the update!
Love the WW1 stuff, but it’s nice to see you going down a different path. I wouldn’t mind an occasional detour to a more modern gun, too, with the kind of deep dive into the developmental history that you do so well.
You guys are true scholars, you always put the facts above all
Great show! I love this concept. 👍
These are awesome. Keep up the great work!
Sounds to me like I'm gonna see a Colt Walker in the next episode. Can't wait! The Walker was the most powerful handgun ever invented until the .357 magnum in the mid 1930s. I have an Uberti repro of a Walker and have studied the history on the collaboration between the two Sams that made this masterpiece possible. Looking forward to the next video!
I'd still love to see a Sam Colt short series (or single episode). Perhaps a series on gun-makers Colt, Browning, Kalashinikov, stoner etc. Something where you can tell the mad stories of Sam colt with just a short overview of his firearms development.
I love these series! I am looking forward to the Dragoon episode. I love that gun.
Looking forward to the Colt 1860 Army episode!!!
love the channel and all of your great content
Looking forward to more of the series
Reprocussion is what got me to subscribe. I love black powder history Colt especially. Thank you guys.
Excellent as always
I see a great series before me. Really good idea from your side.
Love it! Thanks Keep up the excellent work
I enjoy every minute of your channels, Othias, you're a dude, Mae you remind me of an ex from Scotland but the positive parts, you are very knowledgeable, a good shootist but just says anything you want 😉, Bruno, you are just an absolute artist I really appreciate your animations, they are superb, Mr Novak is an adorable lunatic and kind of reminds me of me but is much more handsome, and there's Ian Mc of whom I share long hair a love for bourbon and whisky /whiskey but am twice the size 😅😅😅😅, if I live through covid and down size this house in the new year I will be a patron as you have all kept me as sane as can be possible for a good few years now, have a superb new year and be safe love you all, Mark, Ian, gutted I missed that second chance of your book but it has to go for a reprint 👍
The depth of the back story is impressive 🌄
I love the attention to details, and that you are willing to update with new information. Are you doing all of the innovative designs or just the Colts? I love the Remington 1858, I have 3 of them
Oh yeah, black powder's the stuff. Looking forward to more episodes, hope you have a happy New Year!
Great video. I'd love to see more videos just like this.
Awesome episode!
Okay..i'll watch again. Thank you guys for opening my eyes to literature. Before when I bought a milsurp I had to have the matching bayonet. Now I realize how much more important the matching book(s) are.

Commenting for support of the updated information
I really enjoyed this and often thought if I bought a revolver these reproductions' looked intriguing as I have gleaned over them advertised for a long time with wistful nostalgia. Not sure if this made me want one more or less. But maybe after part 2. But I admit know little about black powder other than they are iconic and cool to look at. Part of the appeal is how affordable they are but I didn't know they were fully 'authentic' in the machining to some degree. I will stay tuned.
I look forward to hearing about this in the next Unloaded!
I remember first seeing this on film in the Antonio Banderas Zorro films. Really happy to learn the full history now.
I am so glad you don't have to dis-assemble firearms to load them in modern firearms... Although a lot of "modern thinkers" believe that is all thats legal (roll eyes) Love the show, and I will continue to watch as long as you're here!
Even as a repost, I love this.
"Booyah!" achieved.
Very few channels take care of making a new upload for such a minor mistake. This kind of things makes C&R a special one
Excelente, muy buena explicación. Muchas gracias.
Exceeds even your usual high standards. The best short technical history of early Colt revolvers.
It exists somewhere between contraption and invention. I love it.
