MVTCO Double Barrel Flintlock Pistol

[MattTheSaiyan]

If they have war in heaven, they'd probably use guns like this.

[Magostop]

Awesome

[stevenscottoddballz]

Is there a reason there is a slight delay between the hammer coming down, & the discharge of the weapon?

[ElectricJellyDonut]

where do you get the ammunition?

[TheMandarklaughs]

omg the sound that it makes>>>>pure awsomeness

[Lordgodisgood7]

Damn she's a beautie

[saxonforge]

That is a beautiful gun, can I ask if you imported it and if so was it difficult. I have seen them on the Middlesex site but dont think they come unvented. Pictures dont justify that gun, it is gorgeous. thanks for the video.

[soheiladib]

@saxonforge : I imported it unvented to canada, have to go through the process pre-register the gun and give the exporter a copy of the registration paper. you can ask middlesex to ship unvented, then no need to register the gun.

[saxonforge]

@soheiladib Thank you, I heard that you could import non firing replica antiques without registry but did not believe it until I spoke with the CFC. Was it a big deal to vent and register it after you imported it?

[maddymann8]

what calibre is the pistol, .62 ??, and what diameter of ball are you shooting ?

[soheiladib]

maddymann8: the distance I would say 50 feet? not sure honestly!

[maddymann8]

was just wondering what distance were yous shooting this pistol at, may i ask

[Shadowcretin]

This is one of the earliest "repeating arms".

[DJdude250]

i saw one of those on pawn stars, so cool

[newhuskytwenty]

I love your gun, Wish I could have another similar, but I only have several Italian replicas. Have you ever seen a duckfoot in action? I did, five shots at the same time, amazing!

[soheiladib]

@newhuskytwenty

unfortunately I had to sell this pistol! but it was fun shooting it. never seen a duckfoot in action!

[lcpuche]

Ha, that's a sick pistol. I wish i could get myself one of those.

[gravedigr12]

omg NICE GUN i am a huge fan of anything with 2 abrrels

[Kwak3r]

I love old weaponry, amazes me what people thought of.

[strazzy3]

[camerl2009]

@strazzy3 here middlesexvillagetrading

[HunterTom3006]

thats a cool gun.

do u hunt with it, is it accurate?

[WillCardMagic]

Nice man! But one little thing I'd like to say,DON'T fill the powder from the powder flask to the muzzle directly,it could blow up.

[keymankeys1960]

excellent I love to hunt with traditional weapons

[TubeTripping]

I can't believe you actually hit the bullseye...actually I am surprised those things are accurate enough to hit the target. I think I'm in love (with the pistol).

[UnkleMusket]

@TubeTripping

A plain ball from a smooth bore can be surprisingly accurate when properly patched. A lead ball is a stable little do-dad and doesn't have much reason NOT to go in a straight line.

Much of the legendary inaccuracy of smoothbore ball-shooters came from the military muskets that fired severely undersized projectiles with lack-luster or even ABSENT patches.

[superwoofer2007]

that is badass...

[JACKtheRIPP3R189]

Where can you get these?

[lpcenter52]

middle sex trading co, check them out online

[JACKtheRIPP3R189]

thanks

[jlb1369]

How far were you making these shots?

[cf48h]

Is that a .62 caliber..? What size balls do you shoot and how much powder (30 grains)? also what size patch do you use?

[Bokershaw]

Those are supposed to be about .62 (20ga), but they can vary slightly from batch to batch. You can ask MVTC to pick one out that's specifically .62 (assuming they have one at the time). I'd go 30-35 grains of FFFg, a .595 ball, and a .020 patch about 1.5" square as a general guide, but you have to find what each gun likes best. He's using undersized balls here, since you can see him folding the patches to take up the bore windage. Hope that helps. :)

[cf48h]

Bokershaw , Thanks for info. Would 35 grains FFg be sufficent or should I use FFFg instead for that larger size ball?.

[Bokershaw]

FFg is fine. FFFg burns a we bit cleaner and it's small enough in grain size that it also makes good priming powder for the pan. You can prime the pan with FFg also, but you might notice a bit of delay upon firing.

[Kabul81]

With all these safety percautions today,it makes you wonder how anyone survived 3-400 years ago fighting battles with muzzleloaders

huh? JMAN

[gabrielguitars56]

That kind of flask is made for loading directly into the bore, it has a spout that measures a certain powder charge, and a loading gate that cuts off the main charge from the rest. I would think it a very bad idea to stuff the spout into the barrel myself, but he doesn't need a separate measure.

[6264910552]

It is a definate no no to load directly from the flask. You should always use a powder measure. All it takes is one smouldering ember in the barrell and you are holding the equivilant to a hand grenade.good bye hand

[ajdmagick]

I own one of those pistols it is a great gun well made and alot of fun to shoot. It was well worth the wait once I got it and fired it.
