The Kentucky Rifle

Gorgeous, yes I have the typical working mans rifle, a Jaeger.
But it's simplicity is a attractive thing. And being carbine length I just love it.
Oh and the lock is speedy.

Beautiful rifle. Mine is a Franklin Co. Just slightly different, except 45cal.

That is a beautiful rifle... mine is a plain Jane one, but shoots very well.

U Need To Speak Up or Get
Closer To The Camera, I Could
Barely Hear U, Great Video...

Can’t imagine somebody having to load that in battle back then. It takes probably like a minute just for one shot.

Great presentation good job

You are a good shot, Sir! I could not hit a thing with my flintlock, for flinching when powder ignites to my face

Beautiful 👍

You can shoot all you want there in the woods without the police being called? If someone does that to us, a special police unit will be there 5 minutes later and arrest the shooter.

Great video. Is your rifle a smooth bore or rifled?? Since you're shooting targets, it must be rifled. Smooth bores are a little bit more accurate than rock throwing :) :)

Nice video. I like your rifle. Is it a kit or did you make it from scratch? Any ideas for me on finding one. A late Golden age Lancaster i'm guessing?

one pretty gun my fav

That aint a Gun thats a piece of Art

Awesome video sir, how long is the barrel on the rifle you are shooting?

You know, I love tacticool crap as much as the next guy, but their is nothing "beautiful" about modern firearms, I think. They seem more and more to be purely utilitarian.
I had a chance to go muzzle loader shooting with a friend of an NCO I served with down in Kentucky and I gotta say it was one of the best range days I've ever had. You shoot M4's, machine guns and AT4's and you think anything "less" isn't gonna be as enjoyable.
Yeah, I was completely wrong. I even shot better with muzzle loaders after getting the hang of them since spending the amount of time I did loading one it made me be more meticulous in my fundamentals.
Excellent video! First time watching one of your videos and now I'm gonna go binge watch the rest of your channel! :)

Norwegian here. Thanks for the inspirational video.

Kentuckian long rifles are normally shorter than their Pennsylvanian cousins and for good reason. The added length was just excessive weight and did very little to make the rifle more accurate. The shorter Kentuckian is more maneuverable while hunting varmint or Redcoats. 😉

Why we wouldn’t of stood a chance against the British with his technique

How long is the barrel?

How do I buy one similar to this? Yes, I'm serious.

Greetings from Germany from a like-minded shooter. Very well explained and a very nice weapon, congratulations and hopefully many more beautiful Septembers in the forest with friends!
PS: In the over-regulated and heavily controlled Germany, powder horns are no longer allowed and only decoration, filling powder on the shooting range is also forbidden here, and wearing safety goggles with side eye protection is also mandatory here - certainly It's just a question of Time how long they allow us to shoot at all. Actually almost superfluous to mention that hunting with muzzleloaders is unthinkable in Germany. I hope you can keep your freedom for a long time.

Good video about black powder shooting! Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium!

I read one of your answers to a question about hunting and you indicated that you used your rifle to hunt squirrel.
Do you find the 40 caliber to be okay for hunting squirrels or is it to big of a caliber?

Kind Thanks and Happy New Year! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

I like your calm and informative speech. English is not my native language, so sometimes I have to watch some videos again so I can understand them. But thats not case with your videos. You clearly tell me what to do, with calm and no hurry, and with smile. I feel like my father is teaching me all of this :)

I want to stop with smokeless powder for a bit and try the black powder and discover all of that around black powder. And you are my great inspiration.
I want Kentucky rifle as my first rifle, is it good type of rifle to start with? (I also hunt).

Thank you, from Czech Republic :)

he uses a musket for home defence as thats what the founding fathers intended

Greetings to you. I am from southern Iran. From Arabistan, we had a serious weapon 200 years ago. The cylinder is 130 cm long and has eight ribs. This type is called al-Franji. It was one of the best guns of its time. My grandfather used to hunt with her and shoot ducks from 150m or more away. I still keep it to this day

I and a subscriber and at 74 I'm thinking about getting back into the sport. Along with contacting the Dallas Muzzle Loader Association which is near buy my area. I have a Hawken CVA I built in the 70's but I if wanted something near to traditional what is your recommendations.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Thanks in Advance
Mike

Gorgeous rifle and that lock is fast, are you using a black English flint or French? You should get a small piece of vellum parchment and keep a detailed record of game taken with the rifle and place that in the patch box, it gives the rifle a voice long after we are all gone, it can talk about when it was born who built and owned it and where it has been, like this rendezvous and in this video. Imagine if you inherited an old rifle and found a piece of vellum parchment in the patch box, I bet you would read it.

he better start ducking those shots

u have 1 shot two funny and 10 minutes to reload dogging arrows

i watch daniel all the time

Yes, I'm subscribed and liked your beautiful video! Thank you much! Greetings from Ukraine!

Nice video man!

I Shoot a pair of Pennsylvania style rifles in 50 and 41 caliber. Nothing like the feel of one. They make you be the best shooter you can be between making the load and knowing you just got one chance on the hunt.

Benjamin Franklin lives

most gunsmiths who build Kentuckys ore Pennsylvanians are germans

What a beautiful rifle, I have a Hawken i built from a kit. It is a nice rifle, but nowhere near yours. It probably put you back a nice penny, but for sure worth it.

Damn no wonder modern firearms are they way they are .

I'm a PA guy, we love our flintlock muzzleloader's. We actually have a flintlock only season that starts the day after Christmas. I do love my PA muzzleloader the length can be a pain in the brush but can't be beat on stand. Personally l like .54 calibers for deer. It has a little extra punch.

Hello good video

What is the difference between the Lancaster and The "Kentucky Long Rifle ?"

Nice gun

I'm a long time shooter who has recently gotten into the older muzzleloaders and I just wanted to thank you for all your videos. You are super knowledgable on the topic and you explain everything very well. Have a great day!

That looks like heaven. Thanks for posting.

In the world of tacticool stuff it’s nice to see someone peacefully and calmly enjoy something that takes time and care.

Beautiful Isaac Haines Rifle, and you shoot it well!
