Winchester 1866 Carbine - Yellowboy, smokeles & black powder loads shooting

[buffalodays]

No it is not. This is true carbine with 19 inch barrel. Sporting rifle has 24 inch barrel.

Sorry, but isn't this classed as a sporting rifle and not a carbine? A carbine is shorter, made for portability, for the cavalry so they could load and fire on horseback (not that they actually did often)

cool

Why is the black powder throwing so many sparks?

[hankbob2000]

Russian black powder throws lots of sparks. You don't get that with GOEX.

[buffalodays]

@hankbob2000 Not russian black powder, but czech. But you are right, GOEX is better, but hard to get here in the Czech rep.

@MrMax Black powder is less powerful, fouls the gun more and as you can guess from the name of its replacement produces a lot of smoke

[pkbjorn35]

Lol. You could start a fire with that. Wery nice rifle

[RETIREINARIZONA]

Love that black powder fire and smoke---Smells real good too.

[MrMaxTruth]

I am new to this , can someone explain what the difference is between black powder shooting  and smokless, surley black powder still needs a cartridge ???
