"Here's a slight historical inaccuracy that literally no one else still living even knows about. I apologize for the inconvenience" lol. Love this guy

You may just have outdone yourself with this one! What an enormous amount of work, both in filming and editing it must have been. Your efforts are appreciated.

The musketry of 1914 series alone is making you a helluva shoot. Good job old chap.

Thank you for your dedication of keeping history alive. My great grandfather who fought at Courcelette would be proud. This goes to your entire video library.

New Category: Historic Infodramatic Recreamentary. Brilliant as always.

I love all the pictures and vintage film reel of the late 19th/early 20th century British infantry. Best dressed army of 1914.

Excellent series, really a unique but ultimately a fundamental series to help us understand the realities of the British and Commonwealth army before the Great War. Thank you very much for this professional body of work.

You should get pay a huge amount of money for this brilliant and spectacular job. You love and passion for history and military classic firearms should be an example for everyone. I'm watching your videos and learning a lot of things from them. Thanks a lot for sharing with us your outstanding contents! God bless you.

Great work as always Rob!

As always with your limited budget and manpower you have once again delivered a most fascinating presentation~ It was very interesting to learn how dynamic and relatively modern these field exercises were, taking parts of it and incorporating them into a modern manual would not be so out of place. I especially liked the sequences of advancing and firing because it really does visually help to tell people what they would pretty much expect in manoeuvre warfare. I also liked the drone shots, especially 9:18, it looks like a beginning to a video game cutscene or even could be used for a future intro with the text on the right side haha. You could write a paper on this subjects with your amount of research and video presentations :D

Well done. Tremendous effort on your part.

I remember using the Mk III as a skinny boy in the Royal Irish Rangers army cadets. The caubeen hat quickly became a shoulder pad. Eventually we became pretty sharp. We did a thing called snap shooting after a hard slog, bivouac camp then an early morning cross country race with 37 pattern webbing kit. We were based in a barracks & had use of the range. Marksman badges were proudly achieved. I love the Lee Enfield.

Thanks, a really interesting series so far.

Fantastic.... Enjoy you historic tutorials all round and shooting brilliant can't wait for next one💂💂💂💂💂

Brilliant as always! Loved it...

This is really interesting. Thank you for all the effort.

Outstanding! Thank you for your efforts.

Thank you for another excellent video! I appreciate all your hard work in putting these videos together, and the end result is always entertaining, informative, and very professional.

Brilliant. Interesting and worthwhile. Keep it up.

Great stuff. Really enjoyable. Thanks

Damn Good stuff Lad, keep up the amazing work!!

yet another really interesting video, keep them videos coming, Brilliant.

Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for the entertainment and historical value presented in a most professional way. thanks again.

Incredible video ! So informative and entertaining. Thank you so much for the work you do and sharing it.

Definitely one of my favorite channels. Another awesome video.

Amazing job, Rob! Once again another fantastic and momentous piece of work!

Dude your camera work has come so, so far since I first subscribed. Excellent video. Long live the SMLE.

That was so well done and so informative. Your skills and research do surely show. Thank you. I went to the range before sunup yesterday and the next fella to show up had an MG-42 . First one I've seen firing. All I had was an HM1000X and a .204 Ruger, but I happy.

I am amazed on how much content you can put into these videos, thank you for your excellent work.

Absolutely Fantastic! Education, history, and really great videography!! Seeing the targets, use of cover and support, fire and movement, perfectly matching soldiers. This is stellar work, sir, and no apologies are necessary. You put in so much work on these that any deviation from exact replication is perfectly fine. Patreon money well spent!

Easily my favourite series of videos on KZfaq, terrific effort

Thoroug and sensible video. Thank you and carry on!

Very awesome........great video series !

Amazing content as always keep it up

Fantastic work!

1st, I have never used Patreon before and found it easy to sign up and sofar I can find your page. Hahaha. Now to the video series. It has been superior to anything I have seen so far anywhere. The production is great. The content is fantastic. The work put into each video is obvious. You actually have in a minor way cost me a little cash as I look up at my gun rack and I couldn't be more pleased. More than once after watching your videos I end up at the range. This series is a pleasure to follow. Thank you for the hard work.

Excellent job! Really enjoyed the interpretation of the shoots :) Great camera work and presentation skills!

You’ve outdone yourself on this series Rob!

Good grief you're good! This is quite simply superb! Your attack shoot was excellently executed and your analysis of fire and manoeuvre by mutual support was well researched and presented.

Very rewarding vids. Keep the vids going.

You started off doing good work, you improve hugely with each video doing truly outstanding work now. Superb coverage of an interesting topic entertaining and more importantly informative. Bravo Zulu as we US Sailors say.

Its always difficult telling the difference between highland soldiers. Love the video Rob definitely my favorite content creator here

Awesome work, as always. Long live the king!!!!!

Excellent video... As always 👍

Thank you for working on this program. I have learned a good deal from watching . blessed be

Rob, that's brilliant, and as good as we have learned to receive from you. Watching you move about and then fire a few rounds make me wish I was back in .

Gob smacked, simply gobsmacked. I had thought you'd set a new criterion with your work to date - nope. Bloody 'eck this is a grand series.

Today is a good day because Rob uploaded a new video!!!

this is superb, thank you, surprisingly modern!

very nice filming and angles!

Great video! I've always been a big fan. Cuidich 'n Righ

Looks like that bolt was giving you some static there at times, Private. Is there a mechanical issue you're struggling with? I don't know if I am more impressed with the history lesson, the antiques and period correctness, or the cinematography. Your work is unquestionably first in its class! You put a lot of work into this, it shows - and it IS appreciated! :)

This is a stupendous video, as always is in your case.

When the going gets tough send in the Gordons....Now Jock, his majesty would like to know what you`re going with an extra 4 rounds?A most excellent video,thank you.

Great work Rob. I am lost for new superlatives. So, as the Prime Minister used to say in Parliament, 'I refer the Honourable Member to the remarks I made earlier'. Nice to see what my grandfather was doing pre Great War. BTW the soles of your boots need to be polished too.

Good man. Thanks again.

I'm a bit surprised by how similar these practices are to modern training.

Truely a very awesome well informative video. I am a proud owner of two No1 Mk3's and two No4 Mk1's. I have got to get to the range soon to sastify my now itchy trigger finger. Best wishes for future videos and the channel. (Side note I look forward to the day of the No4 Mk1 making its debue and the history of its musketry) cheers!!

As always, a very interesting video. Bravo, Sir! Looking forward to part four. But I hope, you will cover a british military engagement like El-Kebir sometime soon. Best regards from Switzerland.

Brilliant as always Rob and regards to your brothers. Did I say it was brilliant by the way? :D

Another excellent video. I feel a little guilty only contributing $1/month through Patreon for this level of quality. Well done.

I love watching these WW1 videos and would like to know if you'd do a series on British rifles of WW2 keep up the good work you got the Kaiser on the run.

"Over by Christmas". The Kasier said "You will be home before the leaves change.". Tragic that those brave men had no idea what they were about to go through.

Great video once again.

Great video as always, obviously enhanced by the red and blue glasses I wore for the true Part 3-D effect :-)

Excellent as always rob how many more parts to this series?

Excellent video! You have me wanting to grab my rifle and come along! Great experimental history experiment.

Three things. First, back in the early 1970's, I was a member of a United States Army Infantry Company in Germany. One procedure that I particularly remember was placing the whole company on line, and then while the Riflemen walked two paces and then fired a single shot, myself as a Machine Gunner walked the same two paces, and then fire a shot burst of ammunition. Not far from what you demonstrated in this video. Second, It would be very interesting to see something along the same lines as this, but using a different weapon, for example, your Martini-Henry, just as a comparison to what could be done, and what could NOT be done with that earlier rifle. Third, keep up the good work, this has been fascinating. I look forward towards your next video in this series. P.S. Have you ever played the Regimental March of the Seaforth Highlanders, or of the 79th Highland Regiment of Foot?

Awesome video my friend!!

Terrific videos on the SMLE and No 4 musketry and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just acquired my first, a 1916 BSA that was in Australian service until the big sell-off. With the My question is this: I learned on the SLR L1A1, Load, Action, Instant. Unload. In these commands the operations of the magazine, cocking handle, safety catch and rear sight are integrated. I have not seen how the safety catch is integrated in SMLE practice. In Africa hunters tell me the bolt should be closed on an empty chamber all day carrying it, and the safety catch is a decoration only. How did the SMLE safety form part of the movements taught in service and work in service in the field?

I thoroughly enjoy the historical shooting practices. Anyone can go to a range and aim a rifle at static targets. Shooting historical practices adds an interesting flair to shooting.

Have you made a video demonstrating how point of aim might/ might not be changed when a rifle is or isn’t wearing a bayonet?

run, Pvt MacKensie, run!

An excellent video !!! A question for you. Are you able to find all of your fired brass ? It looks like the fired ,303 shells are scattered all over the underbrush. If not you must have a good source of reloading supplies ?

Would you consider the possibility of doing a series on the 303 service round and its different types? (I.e. armor piercing, Tracer, Incendary etc) ive always been curious about all the different types and marks of the 303 round from the first world war to world war two.

Top, wie immer! 👍

awesome as usual...what are you using to clean/lube your rifle? mine runs on CLP and Hoppes no9 from time to time to get the copper out

One of the main things I like about your video is you use cast bullets in your loading for the .303 Brittish. You mentioned once that it was an N.O.E. mold, However, you did not give a number for what mold it was. I would like to get that mold for my .303 No.4 Mk-2, any help with what the ordering number for identifying the mold would be a huge favor as I plan on shooting cast bullets to extend brass life and save money over jacked ones. the .303 bullets have skyrocketed in price in the last few years. Thanks, Dave.

Thank you

100 years ago and it still came down to shoot, move, and communicate.

One bloody hun disliked this. Bloody huns. Well done that man over there. Huzzah to the commonwealth.

Excellent video! So would the musketry be the same for other rifles in British service like the Type 38, P14, and older Enfields?

How good is an individual field firing practice with a bayonet charge. Great work, thank you.

I would love a video where you talked about where you have gotten your rifles and bayonets from. A little bit like the ones you did with your kit. -Andrew

Would the same practices also apply to Pattern 14 rifles? Or since it was deemed for rear-echelon troops, was there a different shooting standard associated with it? Thank you and keep up the great work!

When the SMLE mk3 stil had a volley plate was the "FIre by rank" still in use?

What mold did you use to cast those bullets and did you use a gas check?

Gros délire! Et tout ça sans drogue?! Rires, merci encore pour cette vidéo de qualité. Je suis en train de monter un dioptre avec un guidon sous tunnel sur mon Hawken Missouri cal. 50. Avec ça je vais pouvoir toucher une cible posée au Canada de ma maison à l'autre bout de l'atlantique...

The UK should be showing this on the BBC

Great work! Do keep an eye om those copies so they don't escape into the world. I have twin sons so I know that 1+1 does not equal 2.

You just have to know having those McKenzie Clones would come in handy

That was outstanding sir. Even though an American and proud of what our men did 'over there' I would be willing to shoot that with my Lithgow No.1, Mk III* Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield (SMLE) along side yours. Were all of the pictures from before the war? If so the majority of those in the pictures were most likely gone by this point 100 years ago. Molon Labe! Keep your powder dry and your faith in God.

Hey, britishmuzzleloaders, I was wondering how Canada's firearm laws effect you, in your area of interest. I personally have a interest in collecting, and understanding firearms from a historical view, wich has always been a bit of an oddity for someone who lives in Texas, where pretty much everything is legal within reason.

Huzzaaaahhh!!!!!

Will you eventually do a no 4 mk 1 series?

How do you do the snap presentations? Do you have a friend with you sat behind you pulling on strings or have you rigged up some electromechanical method?

This is great! What part of the world are you in?

Ah spring is in the air time to get out the old Snider aye britishmuzzleloaders?

I own enfields, great video
