Interesting on the rapid-fire. The ejection is not total and it seems to be harder to arrow the round into the breech than maybe for Springfield 1873 that could drop into cup then just slide forwards.
I think that's the point -- he's demonstrating the typical rate of fire with this rifle. Not very fast, you say, but actually way faster than the muzzleloaders it replaced. Put it in historical perspective, it's was a remarkable advancement.
Thanks for the video upload! I am getting a 1902 model tomorrow, just the action and stocking material. I plan on barreling it for 40-65 Winchester. Your video is an inspiration. Thanks!
Excellent video, you're very informative! I've just bought an original (1869) rolling block rifle and it's a rather nice piece of kit... I still can't fire it though down to British gun laws
My grandma just showed me that we have one of these. It is not a replica, and I will say your gun looks exactly (a little less rusty though) like mine. Although, is your a millitary or a civilian model? Mine has metal at the tip of the wood and a plate on the end of the stock.
black powder substitute may be cleaner.. and modern, but it doesnt perform as well as real black powder does... also you lose out on the feel of it when you lose the typical cloud of smoke seen with these rifles
Excellent video, easy to watch, and informative. Everything in your presentation was about the rifle or ammo; none of this self-serving nonsense that bores us on so many other videos. Please make more!
What caliber is it...?? The most known here in Denmark is the 11.6x40, but still it is almost impossible to get by.... Can you still order that caliber in the US....?? Great video and great gun....!!!! ;-)
I'm so envious that I cant come and spend some time shooting with you,it would make for a really good time,obviously a man who loves his guns,America and the civil war.I do love that period rifle,it makes me sick that its almost impossible to shoot in the UK now,mainly due to the stupidity of others who cant control themselves.We cant even buy replicas anymore,all mail order has been banned (2004) all because of city idiots.
Arent those shells very hot when you take em out by hand like that??

do you know guys, the older rolling block rifle had n' t a scope on it!
there was a narrow barrel mounted on the rifle!
it was to focus to better hitting.

To me, it just isn't right unless there is a charge of black powder behind the bullet. Great video!
