I just fired my Euroarms "Zouave" for the first time today Very reliable with that straight flash channel, a beautiful, well balanced rifle.

1800s firearms are works of art. Look very elegant and organic. They're like gothic cathedrals of the weapons world while modern ones are, to me, very square brutalist skyscrapers.

Happy to keep seeing classic firearms used on this channel one of my favorite channels to watch when sad lol hope maybe to meet y'all one day and burn some powder! I also decided not to go with the model 27 for now I got a Taurus judge 6/12 magnum nothing like fitting jacketed hollow points of 45 colt or 410 shotgun shells

I have the the 1841 ( Mississippi Rifle ) reproduction from Antonio Zoli of Italy, 58 caliber...along similar lines of the zouave rifle. Hoping to get out in near future to try it.!

I just got a Zouave today at a gun show. Price was too crazy to walk away fromIt was half set up for competitive shooting, had mounts for crazy front and rear sights, the whole barrel was glass bedded, and the trigger has had some work. I’m bringing it back to original though. Should be a fun back yard plinker. It seems like 60 grains of FF is pretty standard for that gun, have you tried any other loads?

I use 60 grains too. Haven’t tried anything more yet

I got an original 1863 Remington. Never fired it but my paps used to, last time it fired was 15 years ago. Been dying to see one shoot, and no I ain't gonna use mine. It's apiece if history at this post don't wanna risk hurting it after it surviving over 100 years

With that rifle right there you can go up to 95 grains of powder and that is a perfect powder charge for that rifle and everything it's doesn't give it a whole lot of hurt on it at all and 60 grains of powder was used by military load because I am a civil war reenactor but if you're going hunting 95 grains with it is perfect
@ForestFirearms2 жыл бұрын
I was surprised that the military load was 60 grains since it seems a bit light with that 500ish grain projectile but I do plan on shooting elk with rifle so I will have to play with hotter loads
@Nick-wn1xw2 жыл бұрын
By all means do but if you're going to use the loads the OP suggested use a minié with a thicker skirt.

I have all the stuff to start casting my own bullets but have not tried it yet. If all goes smoothly it will be a money saver for sure. I got this rifle from a local shop so I’m not sure where one would be available out in the world.

Please explain the difference between a rifle and a musket?
@ForestFirearms2 жыл бұрын
A rifle normally is a long gun with rifling and a musket traditionally was a smooth bore. A muzzleloading rifle normally took a while to load because you had to force a patched projectile into the rifling down the barrel and a smooth bore musket was must faster to load. A rifle musket gets the best of both worlds with the undersized minie ball that can load as fast as a smooth bore but gets the accuracy of a rifle

Please be careful while ramming the ball. Remember you have a load of powder in the chamber. Your hand should never cover the muzzle. Tilt the rifle away from your body. Safety. Enjoy the piece.

Try a patched round ball in that rifle. I get better accuracy with PRB (80 gr FFg) than Minie' ball (60 FFg) using 1853 Enfield, 3 band, 58 cal, rifled musket replica.

No. it's not a rifled musket. It is a rifle. There is a big difference.
