Remind me to tell you about the shooting friend of mine who bought a Pedersoli Kuechenreuter pistol for fifty pounds because the dealer thought it was a cheap 'cap gun' in a lot of junk piled up in an old orange box. Not only did he not know what it was, he had to be persuaded to take some money for it. Here in UK, he said, it wasn't worth putting on the books [he was an RFD] and only did so to get rid of it. Another great video, BTW, informative in the extreme.

How is this channel not bigger than it is? Thank you for making such good videos!

I am so gratefull fir you and your Chanel. When i was little IT was the only way i could Connect with the Thing i was intrested in the Most. Now im 20 and can finally shoot blackpowder myself. I will BE forever gratefull and i still Love watching your Videos❤

Really awesome video the gun maker videos and old originals are always a joy to watch. So many beautiful guns from austria and south germany. Greetings from austria🇦🇹

Awesome! Love the gun maker family history!

This is my favorite black powder channel. Thank you for excellent content.

This was superb. The Kuchenreuter family line looks alot like my family line who came from Manheim, Germany.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful, accurate pistols and the history.

Thanks for bringing us the chance to see another incredible gun that most of us will never get the chance to see, let alone shoot. What a magnificent pistol.

Nice video. Petr Králíček is shooter from us shooting club SSK Krhanice. :-)

Excellent video. I have a Barth Jos Kuchenreuter Bellows target airgun. I did a vid of me taking it apart and shooting it and it’s a fantastic airgun. Also did a vid on a reproduction Adam Kuchenreuter air pistol that looks very similar to your one, but it’s a low powered spring air pistol. Good to know there is still a Kuchenreuter shop! Cheers

I’ll confess that it took me ten years to be comfortable competing at a World Championship level. Zones we’re easier, but the Pacific Zone is a low-key affair.

Another very informative and extremely enjoyable presentation. Your videos really fill a, until now, previously vacant spot in firearms usage and history. Actually I should say your input is of great historical importance. Thank You for sharing your love and knowledge of firearms.

Very beautiful pistols.

Awhile ago I watched a cap and ball video about you making repairs to an old gun bore that you had purchased for your son. You were demonstrating a process that was time consuming and laborious, and required you to do it over and over again. Could you, or another subscriber help me to find this video please? Thank you so much!,

Hi, that was: kzread.info/dash/bejne/amSMzdCeisLMgZM.htmlsi=hX2TCMn0l4u8uttW

Fantastic video as always, I love your work, I learn so much.

I just Love this content!! Its always interesting and always great!! Much continued success!!❤

350 years! Thats cool!

I really enjoy the history as well as the shooting. You are a great story teller. And somehow, maybe being Polish I really like the Hunglish language, takes me back in time.

Wow, I only live some 10kms away from the Kuchenreuter origin village… There exists a Kuchenreuther family branch which work in granite quarrying and stone masonry, also only some odd 15kms away. Interesting story, because in ancient times such industries (gunmaking) aren‘t that rooted in the area.

I'm a black powder shooter and I don't have a single shot pistol... yet!

Excellent vid.

Beautiful firearm indeed

I find it so hard to believe you ever had problems shooting. I will believe what you say though, but I do think it incredible seeing how you shoot now.

Shooting is simple, learning the proper mind set is difficult. For me at least it was quite difficult. That part is mainly psychology I guess.

What do you think about the Pedersoli Remington pattern revolvers? Are they worth 2-3 times the price of Uberti and Pietta?

@capandball

7 ай бұрын

Yes. The Pedersoli Remington is the best percussion revolver available on the new market today. It competes against the Hege Army Match Remingtons and the Feinwerkbau Rogers & Spencer. The Pietta Shooters' Remington, with the gain twist bore is also a good arm.

A small note from Germany: Up to 1873 the german language was not standardized. So only the dialects existed, this caused often confusion in diplomacy, science and trade. In 1873 language scientists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland regulated german language and created Standard German/ Hochdeutsch. Before 1873 behind every t a h was written, this was stopped, with exeption of few words, for example Thal/ valley, Thor/ Gate, Thür/ door. But in 1901 the h after a t was completely stopped.Compleatly? No, Wilhelm ll personally rescued the th in Thron/throne. Today in german language a th appears only in names. In Germany there was a law in 1870s, that people had to write their Family name in the way, they wrote it in 1873 In the Years before 1873, German people could write their name, as they wanted.

I , Brittas boyfriend, belong to Swabian tribe, for reason , that Swabians and Swiss Germans are both Descendants of former Alemannic tribe, my dialect is similar, so I have few problems to understand Swiss Germans, when they speak a softer/ townsman version of Swiss German.

The short rifle. Unfortunately I do not have it anymore. I sold it in a weak moment. I regret selling it very much. @@rushidixit2611

What modern cartridges are compatible to 11mm Chassepot? And would it make an effective hunting cartridge in modern times

The first time I fired a flintlock rifle i didn't know there were 2 explosions and i shot the ground in front of the target 🤪 - after that i did better - i prefer ball and cap rifles and modern weapons - my last pistol was a S&W model 15 .357 mag. Police Special that was my father's personal off duty carry

Missed YOU!! lately! I only have a Stoner single shots and Wheeled capers. I LOVE ALL that goes Bang! as a Yank! started at 12 yrs old with BP, I will end with BP when God Says it's Time.

In short, what you are saying is obvious. Black powder shooting requires both natural talent and practiced skill. While almost anybody can learn to load and fire only a few can do it very well.

In fact 90% of the medals won on international matches is probably won only by 5% of the shooters. While I think most of the shooters attending a World Match are capable of shooting World Champion scores. The technical part is easy (easier) to learn, the psychological part fro me was much more difficult.

Why there is not 1 video with the pedersoli saloon pistol cal. 36 ?? Nobody buy this gun ? Is it ugly ? 🙄👆🏻

These are the kind of guns when the 2nd amendment was written.

Single shot pistols are no good
