This is my b26,what can I say other than Paul did a amazing job,had the gun refurbished as it is a present to my son,I have owned the gun for 45yrs it handles and shoots extremely well,once again Paul a brilliant job.

Love the content of your videos 😉

Love your work

Suggestion, if I may be so bold? To stop the hand vice locking up 'early' I put a couple of washers and some grease under the wing nut. It never did it again

😂😂😂😂😂

Is the 694 much different?

Obsoletely fascinating to watch you. I love to see people like you showing us mere mortals the workings of shotgun's.

I had the same problem with a MK38 some time back. Found out it didn't like 21 gr carts. (it was an old gun) But 24gr worked!

Did you use Kasenit? Here in the US Kasenit is out of business so the only real product available for a case hardening compound is called Cherry Red, but I don't know of anyone who has actually used it.

lol i swear i can smell the BP

Flintlock pistols... the first choice of criminals everywhere.

Did you tackle the scoring on the action knuckle and forend iron?

Very pretty

Lol firearms laws can be very odd what sorta criminal would try rob a bank or do an contract killing with a flintlock pistol imagine getting into a shootout with police armed response dont think there gonna wait for crim to reload his flintlock after every shot

What a lovely job on a really lovely Browning.

Hello, I watch your channel avidly and admire your work. May I ask what the product is in the glass bottle (some sort of sealer)? I assume the squirt bottle is oil? Thank you

Strip all my stocks by soaking them in a tray of lacquer thinner old stuff comes off with a paint brush and toothbrush. No mess and no water. I would never put them in water. But as they say to each his own.

Fantastic video.how did this damage happen?

Phoenix rising from the ashes repair, great patience and ingenuity

The Worshipful Company of Kitchen Table Tinkerers salute you, Paul.

I think the work bench needed a little bit of finish on it anyway. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Denton & Kennel when they were in business, had a shop in Somerton, Somerset, not far from me. Nearly all their guns were made in Spain and at the cheap end of the market. They looked great but they did not have the greatest reputation for reliability. They advertised widely in the shooting press, but went out of business many years ago.

It's a great help in understanding classic arms restoration by watching your videos. Do post a complete video too. Many thanks.

Fantastic video very informative , i have a Denton and Kennel silverpoint looks very very similar to the one you have here . Unfired untill last year cracking little gun .

What silly nonsense. Thank god im American. I feel so bad for countries that have to deal with stuff like this..

I really enjoyed that and thinking one of my inert flintlocks would be good with your skilled conversion

Schade um diese schönen Waffen 😢

At least you didn't butcher a real one... It always puzzled me when we were in the EU, that there's so much variation in firearms law, even for blank firers.

I hate to see a shotgun that neglected.

Yes looks very similar to my Arrietta. As usual a super educational video. One of the most usefully instructive parts is demonstrating one’s own limitations! More than once considered disassembling the locks and now glad I resisted the urge to. I’m sure I would end up spending about a week exploring the workshop floor in search of those little springs.

Fascinating stuff, any idea who would have originally supplied the action in the white?

nice video Devon very educational

Sincerely hope you get better soon God bless you

Bloody good Devy bloody good.

Great job

Good video, the skill just falls from your fingers.

2 layers of Blue painters tape. CA glue, temporary wooden block glued to side plate. Tap it off. Remove blue tape.

Outstanding video- love to watch you work the magic.... Thank you.....

Very nice

Would you know if there is a torque setting for the stock to action bolt please

Can a cg maxum be mead into auto safety?

How to make a ‘silk purse out of a sow’s ear’. What a terrific video and repair. Having spent many years doing similar things myself I felt your pain throughout and relief and joy at the conclusion. Marvellous skills. Thanks for all your content too!

Nicely done, I've just found your videos and I'm really enjoying them! I've done a bit of kitchen counter gun tinkering so I find them really interesting. I have a very similar half stock percussion fowler, but a lower grade. The lock is marked 'Gillespie'. Wolfe and Gillespie were a New York hardware wholesaler who marketed their firearms under the banner of Gillespie's Celebrated Guns. They were popular in the Southern States. These guns included ones imported from Birmingham makers, and also pistols from Deringer in Philadelphia. Mine has a similar octagon to round barrel with the wedding band at the transition, but it's not Damascus. A back action lock instead of the front action on the Hollis. The engraving is quite spare, game scenes with birds flushed out of grass. The barrel is marked "London" on top but has well struck pre 1855 Birmingham proof marks. Marketing never changes.The checkering on the stock is not deep. It seems like a good quality, functional gun built to a price. The Hollis is prettier. Anyway, after all that, I'll get to my question. Are you using a vegetable oil for lubrication? And if so what kind? I have a photo of an old Westley Richards gun care card that tells the owner to use a small amount of sweet oil to free up a sticky action. I believe sweet oil was a term used for olive oil.

Brilliant video and very informative. One question, why is there no spring on the top firing pin?
