1855 Springfield Rifle-musket Chapter 2

[@hickok45]

First video with this fine old .58 caliber military rifle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWKlq4OHns-Ir8U

[@MrPeugeot72]

These are super fun to shoot, living history for sure. I have the exact same 1860 Springfield that I inherited and hunted with it for about 5 seasons. Brought home two Whitetails and a Blackbear. Now it's a wall hanger as I'm afraid for anything to happen to it. Thanks for the video!

[@D71219ONE]

Every time I think, “There’s no way he’s going to be accurate with this gun.” and he always is. Hickok is the freaking man.

[@josecora1917]

Remenber, its not the arrow, its the indian !! 😂😂

[@TwoGraves284]

I absolutely love old Springfield firearms.

[@hayzues_moon]

First shot gong? Love it

[@andrewvanderhoof2531]

This dude's aim with just iron sights is unreal. It takes thousands of hours of practice to get to this level.

[@jimmiller7971]

I would say, it’s because he is from the great state of Tennessee. Patron state of “shooting stuff”……..

[@loveforever5687]

Not true, I grew up shooting iron sights. I only have about 200 hours shooting in sights and I can consistently hit a soda can from 75 yards away

[@midnight4540]

I really do appreciate black powder firearms, it's just a slow and enjoyable time. Thanks and take care.

My Great Great Grandfather (My Grandmothers grandfather) carried a '55 rifle during the Civil War. According to a history of his unit, 110th Pennsylvania, he was first sent to Arlington Hall outside DC in August of 62. Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, was kept at Harper's Ferry during the march to Gettysburg and reenlisted at Brady's Station the day before the battle of the Wilderness and was with Meade during the campaign to Appomattox. One of the things I enjoy doing at the different battlefields is seeing if the 100th was there. I have a "photo copy" of his discharge papers that has two dates of discharge. The first one was crossed out and July 15th filled in. The day that was crossed out was April 14th 1865 in Washington D.C. I'm surprised that model 1855 made in '60 still has the door for the tape. Ive read by '59 they had modified the lock by removing the door but left the area.

[@romgl4513]

When Mr.Hickok tell you 1855 was a good year... You better listen, he remembers. 😋

[@Confused_Slime]

Its always a good day when a hickok video starts out the day

[@josecora1917]

I'm adicted to your videos, the way you show and shoot the stuffs is amazing.

[@charlesdudek7713]

I wondered why they called them mini balls. Thanks Hickok now I know they are Minie balls. Beautiful rifle in awesome condition.

[@BigDogCha]

Love Your Channel. Very Educational. Thank You!! ❤🇺🇸

[@richardzacamy4605]

I have the 1861 model of this muzzleloader. Love it.

[@madshansen9393]

hi, Hickok45 i just want to say that all the stories you tell are music to my ears, I learn a lot of things about weapons that I don't have the opportunity to in little Denmark, so thank you for that

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Same here in the Netherlands. Learned a LOT on this channel over the years 👍

[@puppet176]

Same here in brazil

[@larcombs]

i did not know that they had a primer feed system at that time , beautiful rifle , thanks again

[@johnsodx]

Wow, first a comparison of the M16 and the AK47 and then shooting the 1855 Springfield, in just a few hours. You can certainly get a variety from Hickok45.

[@williammccarthy9360]

Thanks for the muzzle loading bump Hickok!!!

[@brandenelkins2923]

That rifle is in beautiful condition! Awesome video

[@Matzah1982]

My favorite rifled musket is the 1841 MS. Rifle. I love the video that Hickok45 made about that rifle but this one and the 1861 are both great too. I prefer .54 caliber to .58 caliber or .577 caliber although getting store bought .54 caliber minnie balls for the 1841 can be difficult. I got the idea for my video that I made last week and posted on my channel entitled ‘’smoking pot with some .45 Colt slugs’’ from watching Hickok45 shoot flower pots and call it ‘’smoking pot’’

[@ibmoosed]

Beautiful simplicity

[@mogadeet6857]

I am coming in on the second vid. It's great to see such an early rifle. Thanks.

[@kaisawheel6286]

The "God's of Sugar" bring the sweetest videos out there!

[@terrytwobears4969]

He's the best shot iv ever seen I have a 50 caliber bobcat rifle and I love it

[@Mrki381]

CZ 75 b vs BERETTA 92 fs. It would be interesting to see a comparison like the Beretta and the SIG P226. There aren't many Beretta vs CZ comparisons on KZbin. It would be interesting with a lot of views. Both pistols appeared in the same year 1975.

[@andrewpaul3130]

It's surprisingly accurate from what I've seen. Goodness me.

[@G50208]

I love waking up to a hickok45 video 😊

[@mogadeet6857]

That powder measure is fascinating too.

[@ridgerunner5772]

As to Battlefields, and one steeped in history and lore, may I suggest two. Cowpens and Dan Morgan, who had and implemented the only real strategic and tactical battle plan allied with terrain, the composition/capabilities of his troops, as well as, a hell of a whippin' on Col. Banastre Tarleton.... The engagement was the only complete envelopment of an Army in the Field during the War of American Independence. The other tussle would be King's Mountain with the invasion of the Over The Mountain People by Tarleton's Tories. Two famed firearms are associated with this engagement. First, the Ferguson Rifle, and the demise of Patrick Ferguson, and "Sweet Lips", the Tennessee Rifle that "touched off" Ole Fergie. Sweet Lips was at one time displayed in the Tennessee State Museum for all to view and appreciate..... In any event, the trek East two these two sites also lends the occasion to take in Sycamore Shoals, Jonesboro, David Crockett Birthplace, Rodgersville, Rocky Mount and the Blount Mansion. The latter was the first house across the Appalachian Mountains to have glass windows. The Cherokees were fascinated by the clear looking glass panes. The local Cherokee Clans came far and near to tap on the windows and it went on night and day for a couple of years. There were also the Bean Brothers at Bean Station who created some of the first Tennessee Rifles.... Few are aware that Cowpens and Kings Mountain were the turning point of morale, support and bite to enable Washington to push, and trap the British Army at Yorktown with the French Fleet blocking the naval extraction...... There is so much early, American/Tennessee History to savor and appreciate in America's first Frontier, and the Scots-Irish Migration with a few hanging Northwestern Brits and a passel of Germans, aka Dutchmen.... There was no real Germany then, just famed Hessians who went AWOL..... All this makes me want to take down my Royland Southgate Flintlock and spark off a patched ball or two......

[@EDKguy]

Goex is back in business and started shipping product recently. Can't wait to get some REAL black powder in my Hawken!

[@timsmith9645]

Awesome rifle there Hickok45 thanks for sharing

[@galenhisler396]

I love it all, and especially blackpowder can't wait for your flintlock to be out again.

[@WhistlinBullet]

That rifle musket looks like to much fun! I’ve actually never shot one yet. Hopefully will get to shortly!

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day all.

[@markknister6272]

Love the videos. History must be carefully taught.

[@awsomehobbies]

Know this video is pretty old so alot of people probably wont see it but Maynard priming tapes are back in production. The youtuber/business owner PaperCartridges in Gettysburg is the only person to make them but you will have to go to his store in Gettysburg to get some since he wont send them through the mail.

[@hickok45]

Good excuse to go back to Gettysburg sometime. :-) I'll probably forget the company name by the time I get back there, though.

[@cliffordmaynard6559]

Nice, I love the old west guns.

[@hickok45]

This one was "Old West" AND "Old East." :-)

[@chrismills4213]

I agree with slinging big lead…it’s one of the reasons I like the 45-70 😊

[@sammyprestwood3182]

That's the grandfather to the Springfield XD sub Compact my favorite Springfield, by the way even tho the old sub compact is all but forgotten it still holds 16 rounds and in my openion a battle ready weapon thanks for the video hickok

[@hickok45]

Actually, THIS Springfield is the U.S. Armory in Springfield, MA, which has nothing to do with the modern company that makes the M1A and other firearms.

[@RonRockwell-w3k]

I enjoy your videos. You're very informative with your knowledge of fire arms and their history. I am tired of some videos with the commentators with ball caps turned around and acting like a kid with a toy gun. Keep up great work.

Wonder if there are any led fallings in the riffle? because of the fact that led is in direct contact with powder.

Curious what you think about the stevens 77 with how split people seem to be about them

[@thrustfrombehind9869]

Semi-auto to Fully auto, a Single Shot or a Six Shooter is enough if you're good enough. Makes you really think how good gunslingers had to be with guns of the old.

The bugs there must have a sweet Statue of the Hickoks to worship :-)

[@hickok45]

Yes, underground where the ants and yellow jackets live, there are likely gold statues of John and me. No doubt they regard us as the "gods of high fructose corn syrup." :-)

[@glennsowacke9752]

Where can I buy the wood loading rod????

[@ridgerunner5772]

Buffalo Arms is one that is easy to access... There are a few others, and you might take note that Hick has a guide/barrel loop attached to the table to keep the rifle from wandering/slipping from the edge.....

[@tdata545]

I could never fire something that old, be too afraid of damaging it. I like mine shiny and new. Also, not a collector in that regards. I collect ugly and weird modern guns like the Canik METE Miami Day and Night series, or a gold DP12, or that gold Hi Power knock off by Grisan with the weirded and worst front sight I've ever seen on any gun. Yeah make that front sight half a centimeter wide. Thanks Grisan.
