Building a BLUNDERBUSS | Traditions Black Powder DIY Kit

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

What a fun project. I know some kits aren't as "fitted" as that one is. Glad it wasn't too much extra work!

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Yeah it wasn’t too bad! It wasn’t the first time I put it together, but had to make sure that it was video ready!

[@artwebb6939]

Pretty cool That belled muzzle makes loading powder and shot a snap compared to other muzzleloaders

[@samulator9761]

Exactly why the navy in the 1600's developed it. Easy loading on roaring seas

[@claykennedy6790]

Just picked up this exact kit for S's & G's. This video helped my decision to purchase. Cheers!

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Awesome to hear! Hope it treats you well!

[@GaryEtheridge-d5n]

I want one in Flintlock configuration- I would want to hunt a Turkey with it! Pilgrim Vibes all day long in the Fall with leaves changing!❤

[@taylorgang8753]

I had no idea you could put these together yourself, how cool! Really love the idea of staining the wood

[@SaltineCracker006]

How long did it take to put together the blunderbuss from start to finish?

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Around 45 minutes. But I put it together before the recording of this video. It’ll take about an hour and a half to 2 hours right out of the box. You’ll need to shave some random pieces of the wood to make everything fit snug.

[@SaltineCracker006]

@@SaintAndrewTV thank you so much man! You're awesome! 😎👍

[@SaintAndrewTV]

@@SaltineCracker006 no problem, friend! Glad I could help!

[@chcagr]

I'm looking forward to seeing how you brown (or blue?) the barrel.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Will have to stay tuned! Lots of different directions I could go!

[@chipngo9758]

Lot of it on yt. Go check it out. Cold blueing is the easiest.

[@brianmitchell719]

Thing I find funny is a felon can’t own a .22 but the blunderbuss is perfectly fine lol

[@JasonHurricane]

being a felon and having a buncho of blackpowder guns is such a vibe tbh like a pirate

[@Eggmayor]

@@JasonHurricane Are you speaking from experience? 😂

[@beltzlauren]

Great project! Can’t wait to see the final product at some point :)

Niiiiice Andrew! Showing some love to the blunderbussy I love that, my dad had one of these when I growin up, very nostalgic. Awesome video as always brother

[@gerzxxiplayz1016]

Nice blunderbussy there i wonder if it can mow down a whole line of infantry?

[@SaintAndrewTV]

I doubt it haha!

[@shenyathewelder9695]

And NB’s? Fuck yeah! Instant sub

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Welcome aboard!

[@thomasciul8932]

The unique muzzle flaring out on blunder buss might have made it easier to load on horse back

[@chipngo9758]

Love this content.❤

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Thank you friend!

[@williamjhunter5714]

Does it come with the ready to use flint(s)?

[@SaintAndrewTV]

This is percussion ignition, but I think the flinters do

[@davidgreen7392]

All very good. Might I inquire (generally) where in Arizona -- as I am often in the Tucson area?

[@SaintAndrewTV]

I’m currently in the Phoenix area! But moving to a more rural setting soon!

[@TheImmoralNosferatuZodd]

0:21 no, the title did that...

[@Darthdoodoo]

I would make pre measured paper cartridges with everything u need wrapped up in paper so u can either just toss it in or dump it in real quick in the field. Or u could have teach part inits own lil paper pouch to dump in pre measured amounts

[@AlTrading-hr1cc]

Love this!!! That’s such a cool and interesting piece, we want to start providing accessories for this type of gun at our trading post but it just isn’t a popular enough of a gun :/ such a bummer because the blunderbuss is so cool

[@buck9739]

Looks fun that’s my next gun

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Love it!

[@odinson81]

What type of black powder do you use with the blunderbuss? Real course or real fine

[@tbjtbj4786]

Smooth or rifle barrel?

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Smooth bore!

[@tbjtbj4786]

@@SaintAndrewTV thanks Saw a few adds for it but it never said. With what it is I thought smooth but with it being 54 was not sure

Do you have a link where you bought yours?

[@bericdondarian6745]

@SaintAndrewTV thank you sir I do appreciate it?

[@RosiePaintsMinis]

im thinking of making one completely from scretch. just not sure how to approach the barrel

[@conanruisi]

I wish they made a nitro fire blunderbuss I think that might be alright on a camping trip where hunting isn’t exactly the main idea

[@TheImmoralNosferatuZodd]

How much do these cost?

[@spookymulder945]

Hey I have that same Annie Oakley Action figure! Unopened of course. And oddly enough, bought it way before i was a gun owner too.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Where did you get yours?

[@spookymulder945]

@SaintAndrewTV I worked at a Salvation Army back in 2013 in Central valley California. Saw her and paid $2.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

@@spookymulder945 got me beat! I got mine at the Garst Museum down in Greenville, Ohio where they have that Annie Oakley exhibit! I paid $10.99!

[@anangryranger]

Yikes!😵 When you dropped the hammer on the weapon, I felt a disturbance in the force... A bit of old gunsmith advice.. Never dryfire a percussion firearm. Bad juju.😡 That said, I'll be watching for continued progress on the weapon. Have fun in the big wide open spaces in the desert. Your old amigo from Texas, Wade

[@SaintAndrewTV]

I wasn’t aware! Thank for that information! No need for any bad luck on the old timey zombie killer! And I am looking forward to letting this thing rip! Thanks for stopping by, Wade! Stay cool!

[@anangryranger]

@@SaintAndrewTV Not a problem. An accidental dry fire is not too bad. However, a few more can batter the cone of the nipple to become damaged. It's how we learn right?😁 Oh, don't forget to sing Happy birthday to Doc Holliday! Born August 14, 1851. 🎂🍻😁

[@SaintAndrewTV]

@@anangryranger well I appreciate the knowledge! I’m new to percussion weapons, so any advice is good advice! And I knew that August was a wild month for birthdays. Doc, brother, and grandmother! Everyone ages in August!

[@Jonah9HexFan9978]

Please please please dress up like a zombie Cowboy when you shoot this! Undead nightmare irl!😂😂

[@SaintAndrewTV]

Deal!

[@EricDaMAJ]

The targets should be turkey silhouettes for Thanksgiving.

[@SaintAndrewTV]

That’s a good idea!

[@bobb.1215]

I have the same one!!! They ended up sending me a trigger and hammer that won’t catch on, so I’m struggling with testing to figure out how to fix that, got any recommendations? Awesome video though brother, a joy as always

[@reesewilcoxon5896]

Totally should do the Kentucky rifle their really no good videos on how to do it

[@SaintAndrewTV]

I do want a black powder rifle! Maybe I’ll invest in that next and film!

[@reesewilcoxon5896]

@@SaintAndrewTV I look forward to it if you do ,since you already have the blunderbuss you should do a video on how to clean it after watching your video I had to go shoot mine and realized I don’t know a good way to clean it lol

[@DustinKeating-yk3vq]

All muzzleloaders are not labeled as a firearm thats how i was able to still deer hunt years sgo sfter u had got myself into trouble but that was long ago

[@13bravoredleg18]

I wish it was a 75 caliber…

[@craigthemonke794]

Now stick random trash in the barrel and shoot it

Sticks and rocks!
