Let me guide you through the process of making the working reproduction of the original combination flask of the Model 1819 Hall breech loading flintlock rifle. These flasks were in use until the 1840s when they were replaced by the M1841 riflemen accoutrements. They dispensed both powder and the balls. A unique design and a very rare collectors item.

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. 😉
