An Original Flintlock Blunderbuss from the 18th century | William Perry Gunsmith, Birmingham

[@mrwdpkr5851]

I'm seriously considering getting the Pecatoni River Blunderbuss kit . It looks like a nice kit .

[@jasonprairie9968]

The old blunderbusses are awesome, like seeing the different styles and accessories, ie bayonet, ect.

[@donmartin2788]

How well it still operates is pretty awesome thank you for showing on video

[@seriousros7280]

I don't like repro so it's good to see an original - lovely! You're so right - the bayonet coming out is swift!

[@FrontierTradingCompany]

This is too awesome!

[@southronjr1570]

That's a really interesting piece there, I was wondering what in the world that sliding catch was and thought it could only be a safety but have never seen a safety on an original piece before.

My Gobbler Knob .72 caliber Fowler is perfect for the Va. Mountains where I live. It's an all around gun ,meaning it goes from killing squirrels ,rabbits,varmits , to duck ,turkey , Geese , to deer ,bear, or Bigfoot. Having a shotgun ,rifle . Is much better than just a rifle . And a farmer or settler would always choose it over a rifle for the versatility ! Gobbler Knob makes the best ones I've ever seen , period . P.s .72 = 12 ga. Peace.

[@MartasZLA]

Hey, how come NO follow-up video on firing this one?

[@BTCAsia]

I saw you are up on Odysee now too!! Thanks for sharing your content on the Odysee; I will watch this video over there. YT can go to H E double hockey sticks!! I need to watch this video, because in a few months we'll be lucky if this is all we're allowed to own anymore.

Thank you.how big of a powder charge and lead shot was it supposed to take back in the day...

[@masonjarhillbilly]

That girl is set up for close quarters business.

[@jeremythompson7597]

I believe I have held that one about a year ago.

[@psychodiagnostik]

Nice! I wonder why that safety catch isn't more common on historical locks.

[@libertyboy2743]

On the blunderbuss what is the barrel length of that weapon

[@johnbernstein203]

.......the original switchblade zip gun!!!!

[@oscarhauge1607]

How did they make the barrel ?

[@k.s.3748]

cast and then turned on a great-wheel lathe

[@sailorjohnboy2325]

That's cool! Too bad modern kits don't have bayonets.

[@griffin5226]

Do we have a concrete reason why they used bass barrels on these bad boys?

[@carolramsey6287]

Brass doesn't rust and swamped (flared) barrels were popular on ships snd stagecoaches because they were easier to load when on a swaying platform. It had nothing to do with spread of shot, it's found on naval pistols too

[@swamprat9018]

no need to do any more of these videos because everything else will be a disappointment after a switch blade blunderbuss. That was flippin cool right there. I shocked it was only 20ga.
