The gunmaker at the end of the video is the iconic Hershel House. Kinda funny that Dr. Clarke refers to him as “Herman” and the credits list him as “Carman”. I'd say Mr. House is a little more known in the flintlock rifle circles now. He is a true American treasure.

I had the chance to handle a HH rifle at a rendezvous.
Incredible work of art, the culmination of a true riflemaker's artistry. |
