You know, I grew up old school, shooting from a young age with Men in the family who were all old Army and War Vets and Cops. I never shot anything but Iron Sights and still do today. I had eotech sights on my AR's and ended up taking them off, because I shoot just as well as with a red dot. I have two scoped rifles that are bolt guns, but that's it. I'm fortunate that even in my 60's, my eyes are still able to do Iron sights very quickly.

"M1903 Garand"? The elephant in the room is "What does Clint think of the shorts?"

This was by far the best series TFB TV has produced so far. Thank you very much for sharing it. Clint is a living legend. The bottomless knowledge he represents combined with the integrity only a true warrior has, makes him the perfect teacher for the next generations.

When I was a Mormon missionary I had a similar experience. We knocked on a man’s door and when he opened I saw an M1913 on the man’s table in the back. I said “hey just so you know a Mormon invented that gun you have” and he let me in. We talked about the Bible while he was smoking cigars and then proceeded to show us his whole gun collection. Within 20 minutes of talking to him I was holding an AK, my companion an AR, and he a Thompson. Good times.

Gotta love my man John Moses Browning! If you asked people what types of firearms are their favorite, you might hear ARs, WWII arms, 1911s, etc. For me it is simply the arms of John Browning. From Winchester 1894s to 1911s, 1887,1897,1912 shotguns, Winchester 1895s, and Colt 1903s. Not to mention his somewhat smaller hand in the Browning Hi Power. As well as the massive input he had on automatic firearms for the US Military. There is a type of firearm discipline for everyone. His influence on the firearms world continues to this day! With the Browning short recoil action being the number one pistol action in use currently.

The M1 carbine is seriously underrated. I would love to see one pop up for a TFBTV videos as the Mini 14’s brother.

My Dad was a Ranger in Korea and my Grandfather was with the 101st in WWII. Both used the Garand Rifle and could run them so fast and smooth, including reloads, that it would bring a tear to your eyes. They could literally do at 100 yards, as many rounds as most people with an AR, and hit every time. It was just the rifle that they knew and had literally put thousands of rounds through and had reloaded hundreds of times. Even during the Cold War and after when people thought the possibility of the Sh*t Hitting The Fan in the USA, their food storage and shelter was well equipped with many Grand Clips and ammo cans of 30-06 ammo and of course 45 ACP and many 1911 Mags. Though my choice today is the AR platform, I still have those two glorious rifles.

Like the M4 at the end, use the technology if you need it. Many younger people think that just because I use iron sights that I abhor technology, not true I use it where it gives me the advantage.

This series was outstanding! The reality is, you could do an hour and a half of Clint Smith describing his favorite garden hose, and I'd still watch it twice in a row. He is the true American firearms treasure. 🇺🇸

Having a firearms legend hand you historic weapons and explain their significance. Then let you shoot all of them. A once in a lifetime experience.

As someone who loves old guns more than anything modern, this was an awesome series and watching Clint share the history with someone who is learning it for the first time was really cool. I share his passion. I don't just enjoy shooting old guns, I love them because they tell the story of firearms history in real tangible objects you can hold in your hand and enjoy with friends and family.

I miss Clints Video's, the only time I get to see him is on your channel, He is a National Treasure.

You can see how long Clint has been teaching from the way he speaks and some little things he does; like holding the rifle for James when he sees he doesn’t have his ear pro on.

Clint is amazing. James needed this firearm history lesson. The short epilog was heartfelt.

James doesn’t like old guns, but he likes old men who like old guns. This was a great series

The M1 Garand was actually still in use in the 1970s because during the infamous Kent State Shooting National Guard soldiers still had them

I guess being in my mid 60's and having been a shooter for 50 years I have been exposed to a lot of weapons platforms (especially WW 1 & 2 era weapons). I love Clint's philosophy. Don't ignore the technology, but you CAN fight with any weapon; just learn use it to your advantage. I hope you continue to be open to shooting older weapons. I enjoy the channel!

6:00 Clint Smith an absolute unit, no earmuff on right ear with a 30.06 firing

Clint’s Sharp’s “It’s not for Sissies” is a great video. James thank you for sharing this national treasure of a man with your subscribers!

Those old bolt actions like the Springfield are awesome. Same for the M1 Garand, just fun stuff. Clint is passionate about the history! I love that. Best videos to date. Thanks, James, for doing this with Clint. He is a treasure to all the gun nuts out in America for sure.

Really liked your message at the end of the video. Very well said, thank you .

Clint to me is the godfather of guns and training. Imo he is the best at what he does. Brings this old school Salty no nonsense aspect to it. I hope I can get up there before this treasure of a man is no more.

Every single one of those rifles are a privilege to shoot. There are a lot of shooters who will never get the chance to shoot a Sharps, the Burnside or a 4040 Craig. They are guns you hear or read about but will never get to shoot. Then add Clint Smith on top of it all. I would say you are a very lucky man. I am 68 now and have had the privilege to shoot several weapons over my LEO career, you sir had a good day. Great video. Keep them coming.

Absolutely loved this series, James. Thank you and Clint.

Great seeing history lessons from Clint! Thank you for sharing!👍

The 1897 is by far my favorite firearm out of these two episodes, such a beautiful gun.

I inherited a 30-40 Krag, it was my granddad's deer rifle and I to this day tell everyone I'm here because that rifle exists since it fed my mom so many times as a child. It's definitely the king of the rifles in my safe. First time I shot it I thought it was broke because a little lever was in the "by pass" position, but I thought the internal magazine was malfunctioning. I loved this series, now time for the hand gun version...

"I don't fucking plan on bayoneting people with THAT" No truer words have been spoken, especially by an Old Breed Marine 😂😂😂 Clint is a fucking national treasure, I love listening to him talk his favorite firearms. Also, cool to know he digs Motwon like I do! Keep being excellent, brother!

I wish Clint knew that whenever he spoke, it brings genuine joy to my heart, listening to what he hast to pass down

I thouroghly enjoyed these episodes. Clint has an infectious personality that I think anyone can enjoy, even if you could care less about history or firearms. Combine that with the retard firing rounds off, and it makes a great show. I also think your short monologue at the end was great.

To touch on the end of this video, this definitely came across as a grandpa teaching his grandson the old ways and being excited to do so. Clint is an awesome dude.

Whatever their passion, running into guys like Clint is always a special treat. He cares enough to put so much effort into sharing. It is a fool who doesn't recognize the effort and how much they care about the people who take even a casual interest in what they are sharing. These guys will dump decades of learning on you in an hour.

The thing that makes these "old" guns great is the idea that it is a link to our history, your hands are in rhe same place a cavalry trooper had his hands 150 years ago. It's a little window into the human experience.

Clint is a wealth of knowledge and there is no one better to learn from. Nice to see you being humble and honest and not being a smart ass.
