I like his style of explaining historical stuff, but too much noise is shooting all the targets once he start shooting, he need to edit the noise in the shooting scene to tone it down a bit. I also like 9 hole review and forgotten weapon.

I was addicted to his channel for weeks. I need to check him out again to see what is new.

Hickok is very good on a lot of his videos. I especially liked his pump shotguns reviews, but he's a bit slow on the operation of them
but shoots right to the far gongs with slugs.
Noise can be controlled with a volume adjustment on your machine. Guns make noise. When he shoots magnums, or magnum wheelguns, even more noise.
This time seemed a bit noisier than normal, but I just figured my hearing aides were turned up too loud.
My own #4 was already a sporter when I bought it, so I rechambered it to .312 Express. I thought it was MY idea, but found Ken Waters had done the same
thing a few years before I did.

A very well known and very entertaining channel. A classic.

I watch Brandon Herrera quite a bit. Lotsa neat stuff not normally shown.
Sometimes the language is not suitable for all "audiences", as in the Darwin awards videos.

I don't care for many gun tubers. Usually poor gun knowledge, and useless fumbling around with a gun, doesn't tell me anything about build quality or accuracy.

I do like Gunblast though, (mainly the write ups). Was saddened to hear of Jeff's passing, but will meet him in paradise. Also like USOG.

Just re-watched some of the video. He's looking a wee bit older, but still can shoot!!
The noise wasn't too bad - that's what happens when shooting CF rifles. They make noise.
MANY are a lot louder than the #4 he was shooting.
This is a Mark 111 #3 I currently have in my possession, dated 1916 ENGLAND.
All matching numbers. Also has a re-fit stamp, 1953 on the side of the front receiver ring.
The bore is PRISTINE appearing new.

Brandon Herrera knows his guns & how to use them. Lots of full auto stuff too.
Garand Thumb is a bit of a card, and is OK with anything modern.
He's on a learning streak with muzzleloading guns.
Another knowledgeable U-tuber on guns, is Iraq8888.
