About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this KZhead channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

Clint Eastwood demonstrated the swap cylinder reload in Pale Rider. He had an 1858 with several extra cylinders in belt pouches. He took out several Pinkerton mercenaries single handedly with his Remington.
You saved me the trouble of commenting.
Try a Griswold and Gunnison revolver. That's the starting side arm of the series.
Yep, amazing what can happen in a FREAKING MOVIE.
If you look closely, he was actually using a cartridge conversion cylinder. Given the time frame not historically inaccurate, unlike "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".

When disassembling your gun is faster than reloading
Underrated comment
*Gaz:* "Switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading - oh. Oh dear."
What’s the difference at this point
Californian: yeah we do it all the time
Removing a box magazine isn't all that different, the loading lever just acts as an additional catch in the way

Also here's something to know about that black powder revolver, in between the cylinders you have grooves and those grooves can act like a safety device that will allow you to carry all six cylinders without a fear of a negligent discharge. You just load all six cylinders and then you carefully pointing the revolver in a safe direction make one half rotation on the well and drop your hammer down into that groove and that groove will lock the cylinder in place and you can carry all six loaded cylinders safely, and when it comes time to shoot all you have to do is cock the hammer and the will will finish its rotation and line the loaded cylinder up with the hammer and fire. I have been shooting black powder for almost 30 years and I have one of those guns that I had bought back in 1983 and I have shot it many of times and used it in reenactments. So I figured that is some bit of information that you and others would like to know about that revolver. That revolver was the most well-designed revolver of its time, not only for it's fast to reloading with swapping out the cylinder but also for those grooves that allows you to carry all six loaded cylinders safely.
Nice.
Those grooves are known for wearing out even on higher quality steel used with modern replica's though, so are not generally trusted. Back in the day no biggie, but these days you'll gonna get a mouthful for using them.
@@ToreDL87 true but that’s why the Remingtons don’t use the pins in between cylinders they use a grove that the hammer goes into way more safe and I have seen the colts pin system ware out never had problems with Remington
I bought my friend a reproduction of the Colt Paterson just because he was a massive Supernatural nerd. That's a pretty neat one too. The aesthetic of those classic revolvers is so much better than modern ones...though obviously I'd take a modern one for practicality first. But damn those are some gorgeous firearms.
Thanks you are making my 29 3" smooth cylinder cry.
@Fredrick Rourk awwwwe just give it a blanket and tuck it into bed.... (Joke .-. )
Dude I know I’m 2 years late but where do you get a Paterson and how much was it?
@@radiantone5158 I got mine from Taylor's Firearms, but I don't think they offer them anymore. It took over a year to get, so even in 2016 I think their supply was drying up. It was around 800 dollars if I recall correctly.

Hell on wheels is one of my favorite shows. One thing I found pretty cool about the show is in the beginning he has a Griswald which is a CSA verson of the colt navy revolver and is one of the rarest guns during the 1800s and he gives it to his friend later in the show and got the remington revolver due to how much faster it reloads.
That's why I bought a Pietta G&G replica because of the first seasons.
Now I don't know much about weapons & firearms, but I know that when you find one of theses baby in a game, it shredds.

My sister was obsessed with Hell On Wheels and watched every episode as soon as it aired. I showed her this video and she got all the references. I only subscribed to Amazon Prime Video and AMC+ a couple of weeks ago. I just started to watch Season 4. I’m really getting into it. Thankfully, it’s unedited. I’m thoroughly enjoying Hell On Wheels now, thanks to you, Brandon. I’m also modifying my 1858 Remington to match the one carried by Cullen. Fun times, indeed!
The Remington was more coveted over the Colt revolver because it had a full frame, which made it a more rugged design.
Not only that bit swapping cylinders was extremely easy and you could carry multiple loaded ones
It was also less prone to jams
wasn't it also more liked because of better sighting?
11bang they make and (made) cylinder pouches to go on your belt you put the cylinder cap up they don't fall off there's written accounts of officers carrying 6 cylinders at a time

Now I want to see Brandon build a black powder AK!
it wouldn't work, or it would be single action
@@thewanderer5295 would it be possible for the am to have a fannable hammer
Hey there! Love your channel!
If you stuffed some 762x39 brass with ffffg or fffg it would absolutely fire and probably be relatively powerful depending on how much powder you can stuff in the shells. But it would almost certainly need to have the action cycled manually and would probably only be able to make it through half a mag or so before it got to dirty
After the .950 JDJ AK
I'd like to see more black powder weapon vids. My first black powder weapon was a CVA flintlock kit. Loved that pistol!!!!! And here's something for you. The War Department spec for black powder at the time of the civil war listed charcoal to be made from alder wood no more than 1/2" thick. This makes a much cleaner black powder than you can buy today. (source: Buncha vets playing with black powder and wondering how a war was fought with guns that fouled so quickly. Answer is, it wasn't.) The sparks you see when you fire are impurities that were not burned in the initial explosion and are part of what fouls the weapon.
Yep, got the same model (though, in stainless) from the same place, and because I was under 21 and wanted a pistol. Receiving it in the mail was truly mindblowing. 😅 30-some years later, and I still have it!

@@BrandonHerrera you got to love how easy these guns are to work on, ive done some reenactments using the 1851 and lets just say there is a reason some people carried 4+ revolvers. they are fun and scary as hell to be shot at with tho.
@@BrandonHerrera Just giving you a hard time. If anyone can beat on a gun relentlessly and have it keep working fine, it'd be our very own resident AK daddy. 😄 Also, I'm new to revolvers, so is the spinning thing bad for timing for all revolver types, or is it just bad for the ones where the cylinder can swing out from the frame and be slammed shut? I genuinely don't know. I just know the general rule for wildly spinning the cylinder is "don't."

Thank you Brandon Herrera for making a black powder video you hardly ever see a channel on KZhead these days making a video on black powder firearms,I love black powder personally, I've got a black powder rifle myself seeing this video makes me want a black powder revolver even more now 👍
I used to own an 1951 Colt Navy replica in 36 cal. Loved firing it. Not extremely accurate but it was extremely fun to shoot.
Ammo has gotten so expensive he’s started shooting cap and ball revolvers
Well you're not wrong...
At least he's not shooting. Looks like he's having fun.
I just found 1000 7.62x39 for .32 cents a round the other day.... One small caveat, I'm an AR guy and don't own an AK/SKS, so I'm literally buying one to go with the ammo I was able to find
Its true though, my local cabelas has black powder supplies all day, but no ammo.

The army models were .44 the navy models were .36. Black powder burns slower under pressure and has roughly 30 percent less power than modern powder equivalents. But it is a lot dirtier and requires frequent cleaning and light oil hence the rust you can actually see in Brandons barrel.
I run mine with 40grs of 777 fffg powder and a roundball and it's a bad mamajama! I also bought a conversion cylinder and get the kirst. Much stronger then 6 shot Howell! I run full power lead loads for old school loadings (no modern pressures or jacket bullets). 7000 rounds later my only issue is the latch catch fell off at 6000rds. The guns have great accuracy with a 200 swc at abt 950fps! Ik some will say I'm crazy.... I am lmao 🤣!!!!! But the newer gins will take it 100% reliably!
This is literally Poland’s best selling gun these days.
Link?
Where are yours produced? My Colt replica is Italian, and pretty nice.
@@Seth9809 it is a joke I believe, because we've got some really... interesting gun laws. Basically same as in US black powder guns aren't considered firearms, at least in terms of getting a gun permit- meaning you can buy them legally provided you are 18. If you want a modern gun however, you need to acquire a gun permit from the government. This means you need to provide a viable reason (such as sport or collecting guns for a hobby) to get one in the first place. Self defense is not considered a viable reason unless you can prove you are constantly living in danger (e.g. you work as a politician or police officer). Then you need to get some firearms training, pass some exams etc., and in the end you still need to pay about 500 bucks to the government for the permit itself. Considering some other disadvantages (say, if you get a permit for collecting weapons you can own them but not carry them around) a cap and ball revolver is a neat alternative if you want to have a gun.
@@mateuszrokita6066 can you legally carry black powder guns around without a permit then?
@@somnolentSlumber yes. That question was answered by police. When carrying standard gun aws apply, so only concealed carry on your body when loaded. PS. My Remington New Army should arrive today! 😃
I bought this at Cabelas and it was shipped right to my door. ~A few moments later~ I'd like to thank our sponser... Sportsman's Guide!
Cabela's went downhill a good bit when Bass Pro bought them out.
I have one myself and the reason for that choice is to have a pistol that is dual ammo the pietta likes the 0.454 lead ball which I have two cylinders for and you can purchase a conversion kit that shoots the 45 long colt cartridge either or it's fun, and great for hunting, targeting and self defense if necessary, enjoy the video make more like the apparel too.

Brandon, I can’t believe you would bring up the fact that these can ship directly to your door and fail to mention TWO VERY IMPORTANT THINGS. #1) you can roll your own paper cartridges to make reloading even faster on the range. #2) you can buy cartridge conversion cylinders and shoot modern ammo like 45 Colt and 45ACP and evening install a loading gate so you don’t have to remove the cylinder at all. It’s the ultimate ATF nut kicker.

with the conversion cylinder it is a firearm. gotta be careful with it.
@@vicdiaz5180 also if they are going to ban any of this its gonna be the cannons, like i know a few people with reproduction 12 lb cannons and you can have explosive shells with them. would say they arent the safest things tho.

Black powder is considered antique. Don't split hairs, read up on it. Just because it isn't technically a firearm per the 1968 act, it is a dangerous weapon when loaded and capped. Know the laws in your state
Cool vid! I have one with 2 BP cylinders and 1 .45 Colt cartridge conversion cylinder! I have been a Mountn Man reenactor for over 35 years and love shooting BP! Of courst the 1858, which really didn't go into production till 1861-1863, depending on the account you read, is a fine weapon and, as you sid, EASY to reload! Kwwp up the good work! You do look like Bohannan!
It did I have a 1851,1860,1858 on order and my SAA .22 shows up tomorrow so thanks brandon
for anyone interested, you can buy this gun, ship it to your home, and order a conversion cylinder from Taylors and Co to convert it into a modern revolver.
Still a single action though Edit- also for the love of God if you do this GET THE STEEL FRAME! Do this conversion with the brass frame model and you WILL lose fingers and possibly worse.
be sure to only use "cowboy loads" or load your own black powder cartridges. even with the conversion the gun is not up to the task of handling modern cartridge pressures for too long

Brandon: *starts loading black powder gun* Me: *receives flashbacks of Sharpe* BITE, POUR, SPIT, TAP, AIM
Blakc?
@@EvaLasta yeah, it's called a typo
Four rounds a minute? Now that's soldering
@@El_sweep responding with a Sharpe meme? Now that's soldiering
I understood that reference!
"it's not a great idea to have to disassemble to reload your gun" *Cries in california*
Just as well high capacity mags are still not allowed in Commiefornia.
Hey, at least you allowed to just have a gun. Me in Moscow need to make a lot of papers just to buy a shotgun. And i would be allowed to buy a rifled gun only after 5 years. And no pistols allowed at all
@@mEDIUMGap I thought Russian gun laws are similar to Czech. We can buy muzzleloader without gun lincense and shotgun is just shotgun, you need only basic gun license and register it on police station, you don't need buying permission, you just buy shotgun and go register that, nobody cares why you want that.
@@Pidalin For a shotgun you must be a so called "hunter"
@@mEDIUMGap Not here, it's just cat. C gun, gun license needed, but not buying permission and nobody cares why you want that, you can use it even for sport shooting or defense of your home if you want. We have cathegories ABCD, A - you can't buy that, full auto guns etc...only with special permission for colletor purposes etc.. B - most of pistols, revolvers and semi auto rifles - you need license and buying permission from police before you buy that C - shotguns, lever action and bolt action rifles, black powder revolvers - you need license, but that's all, you can just buy that D - airguns, airsoft, flobert, paintball, crossbows, strong bows (under 32lbs it's not considered as weapon) and max 2 shot blackpowder guns - anyone who is 18+ can buy that. Also there are similar cats of gun license (not coresponding with gun cats) A - collector purposes (21+) B - sport (18+) C - hunter purposes (18+) E - self defense (21+) D - service or work purpose (police, security, etc...) Most of people have gun license for self defense because it's the most "powerfull" type of license and why don't have it when you can, ofcourse you need pass more tests and license is not valid so long as I know.
The way it makes a "chuff" noise when it goes off is fabulous.
Love this video been into muzzle loaded rifles for years and just starting with pistols they really are fun and my kid get a kick out of how smoky they are
The fact that Brandon mentioned Hell On Wheels first and not Pale Rider really reminds us how young he is.
Clint Eastwood is great.
Don't forget the outlaw Josey Wales, he only reloads when all four of his pistols run dry!
Unforgiven
Bruh I’m “a KiD” and I love all Clint Eastwood films from Unforgiven to Grantorino, Fist full of Dollars to Dirty Harry. He is the quintessential American.
@Excalibur01 I just wanted to say, *I* am old enough to have first visualized Pale Rider when he talked about the cylinder reload! (Silly children!)
America: That Wheelie Gat isn't a firearm Australia: That PVC pneumatic potato cannon is a firearm, and you will catch a weapons charge.
Soon, they will probably classify pine cones as explosives and dismiss lawsuits against restaurants who served their customers plastic mockups of food.
Look up “Gel Blaster ban”, you need a firearms license to basically get a nerf gun that shoots orbeez
@@sealandgi8724 Oh don't you worry, my gel blaster was lost in a horrible boating accident
@@benrogers6143 that’s unfortunate, looks like you don’t have anything left ;)
is it really that ridiculously strict in Australia what considers a firing weapon? in my country as long as you have a purpose for it you can have one like hunting etc, but if you want one just because they will refuse you.
I shoot a 45 Colt in Cowboy Fast Draw comps at my club - occasionally I’ll load up some Black Powder cartridges for it and “slip one in” just for fun. The gasps of appreciation when the “Fire and Brimstone” explodes out of the barrel are great to hear - then everyone wants to have a shot with it. Black Powder is an awesome spectacle.
Just bought a Colt Dragoon 44 reproduction. Haven’t shot it yet but can’t wait.
Easy to forget how big those old six guns were, not to mention gorgeous.
You want to talk about big? I have an Uberti Walker Colt clone. That thing is ungainly front heavy.
@@timbuckjr9081 my 1858 is bigger than my forearm lol
@@yeehaw8106 I also have both an 1858 with an 8in barrel, total length 13.25in & an 1875 with a 7.5in barrel, total length 13.6in Remington clones and the Walker Colt has a 9in barrel with a total length of 15.5in
@@timbuckjr9081 Since we are on the topic of bigazz ungainly 44's, have you ever held a desert eagle?
@@hardlylivin6602 Yes, I rented an 50 cal once at an indoor range.
