I don't know if others are watching this series, but I'm finding them interesting.

They're excellent, as are all of Ian's videos.  I'd sure like to meet that fella some day.

Maybe there'll be a YouTube convention or something!

I enjoyed both this and their Henry video.  About 95% correct, which is refreshing on an internet evaluation video.  If alive then, in the Civil war era, I would have had a Henry (or maybe a Spencer).  No question.  After 1866, though, I would have found the 1866 very attractive: 16+1 rounds in the rifle, and a pair of pistols in .44 Henry (a Smith No. 3 top break and or a Colt 1872 Open Top) would give you unprecedented firepower for the times! 29 shots of .44 on hand, without reloading. See my other post about .44 Henry being underrated!
