If you followed my series about the original Colt Lightning rifle your already know that this was not the most reliable concept ever. Unfortunately this is true for most of the repros as well.
One exception is the improved Pedersoli Lightning that is working with straight wall cartridges also. If you want to know the answer why, Stefano Pedersoli has the answer for you. The last interview from EOS 2026, Parma, Italy.
Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
