Being from the South, it's good to hear the old fashioned Southern accent spoken by an educated man.

Mine is stamped 1864 on the plate behind the hammer.

Don't buy the liverwurst.

0:36: "Today is the 23rd of May"

TODAY ONLY. DON’T BUY IT!

Happy may 23

Once a year I am grateful to find this clip.

It's the 23rd of May. Going to the deli. What should I Get?

This is incredible.

Back when the railroad tried so hard to get there on time it got their people killed. Now WE'RE Casey Jones.

WOW!! Thank you so much for this tour of the Trapdoor rifles!! I have one in excellent shape, I shoot it and it works perfectly. Stock is 1884, with the shorter distance between the trigger guard and the beginning of the comb, also the serrated trigger and the trapdoor is marked 1884. However, the lock only has two notches. Bluing is about 85% and the stock is perfect, no cracks or gouges. I treat it with boiled linseed oil every so often. The leather sling is all intact, Rock Island Arsenal, treated with Obenauf's every so often....No cartouches readily discernable although it seems a very faint one appears on the left side of the stock close to the upper bushed screw. There is a "43" struck into the right side of the rear of the stock. A treasured gift to me by bu late Uncle..Thank you again for this wonderful presentation..

Never heard this song before....and I've been around for a while! I never liked liverwurst but (of course) my mother used to "encourage" (bribe) me to eat it. It was supposed to be good for you. Idk about that:((

👌🐈‍⬛😎🇦🇺

Wonderful presentation. Thank you..!

I learned that I have a 1888 rifle vs 1884. Thanks for sharing.

A friend of mine recently picked up a trowel bayonet (from a farm auction) and he didnt pay very much for it since no one else knew what it really was.

Thank you very much!

Hello, I purchased this 1884 Springfield trapdoor rifle yesterday. It came with an unusual single hook on each end, leather sling that I knew was not correct for the gun. After looking online, it shows a lot of similarities to the Civil War era slings. The only difference is where the hooks are, the leather is normally doubled over and stitched on the originals. This one is not. I am hoping that someone has seen this sling and can identify it. Also thought that perhaps it was originally doubled over and broke loose and re-attached without stitching, perhaps just cut down slightly. so if anyone knows the actual length of the originals that would help. Looking forward to any information you may have. Thank you.

Liverwurst or as we say in Germany Leberwurst is a sausage you can eat worm or cold, if it's a good quality. It#s produced with marjoram, tasty and fits together with mustard and sour pickles, we say Senf und Gurken. Maybe eating the liver of pigs doesn't sound healthy, but we don't eat this not too often. But I would miss ist, if threre would be no Leberwurst available.

I still get a laugh out of this song😅

The crazy part is what he said “we had hit the caboose, gone through it, a car of cay, a car of corn, and halfway through a car of lumber” that is when you know that Casey was on the highball

TRULY GREAT STORY

Like 6 👍 Greetings from Naples, Florida. That was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing, have a great week. 💯

I read that the windage feature on the Buffington rear sight was disabled on some of the 1884 models, for what reason, I don’t know, and sure enough that was the case on my 1884. I disassembled the sight and found a small hole drilled on the underside with a pin inserted that prevented its movement. I removed the pin, reassembled, and now it works.

Thanks for one great video with the nessary information.

Love the Trapdoors. I have a Cadet model and a couple of cavalry carbines. 45-70-405

How is the audio quality so good?

My dad still sings this in the house. He’s 70

Thanks. Watching this seems to confirm the "1884" I have is actually an "1888" minus the sight hood.

Being able to hear my great great great grandfather voice is absolutely amazing!! This is definitely something in keeping close to me

Thank you for this excellent how to. I did mess up the last step first try but, got it on the second. Safety check now complete, its ready to go Bang

RYI: My 1870 (serial 4990x) has the long receiver & site your 1868 has but is dated 1870 above the eagle, with 1863 dated lock plate. I have no doubt there is a huge # of variations as they progressed.

I loved this bit as a kid, everytime I eat liverwurst I remember this and laugh.

That time of year again

My understanding is that during the ensuing investigation by the Illinois Central, Mr. Webb was pressured to change his account. He refused and gave the same description of the accident throughout his life. He is very precise and has provided history with an accurate accounting of that tragic event.

Hey SearTrip do you have any contact information?

Sir, can you tell me why my 1884 has an "I" in the serial number?

I’m sure some of that illicit material was subjected to rigorous and thorough testing by the authorities before completely disposing of it all

Great information. Thank you. I have a WW2 era, Olive Drab web made production variant. I've had it for over 20 years, and it was NOS when it was purchased.

I love your vids. besides antique guns, I also collect Victrola records and have a console (and a restored portable)

Is this really him?

Excellent most helpful

This is a great video. I have been waiting for information about the older slings for the last 30 years or so. Luckily, I still have some.

My good friend garrett from the 11 bang bang channel told me about your channel and i am glade he did. Great videos
