- With the right tools, and a little bit of time, re-assembly of a sidelock is a pretty straightforward process. Watch along as Jack Rowe and Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, re-assemble the sidelock of an old double.

Thank you for your priceless wisdom Jack Rowe. We'll never forget you RIP Sir.
I thoroughly enjoyed the series with Jack.I appreciate your bringing this Master to your shop to instruct us all Larry. I also thank you for allowing him to have complete control of the instruction and your sitting back and watching him at his craft. It was refreshingly respectful,not something you don't see much these days. Thank you Jack,not very many people devote their life to a craft and master it. You are an inspiration and role model for young gunsmiths everywhere.
for sure..
What a master craftsman that needs no notes to remember so much intricate information. I guess knowing Larry, we wouldn't expect him to have anyone less on his most excellent instructional videos.
I was trained by Masters such as Gentleman Jack Rowe, their skill and knowledge leaves you in awe. Their tools mostly are hand made, but their priceless and to be trained by one is such a privelidge. Loved the video, i never tire of watching a Master.
When you look at history you see just how much both clock making and gunsmithing gave the engineering world without the use of machinery. You could drop Jack or Larry into the 18th century and they could still practice their skills. Having absolutely no engineering skills myself I could ( and do ) watch their art enviously for hours. Well done Larry, keep making the videos.
Machines are still used, albeit simple machines. Screws, pivots, or more accurately levers, wedges, all simple machines be they be part of the action or hand tools
It is a real treat to watch a master craftsman at work. Thanks for sharing this.
Jack is a real artist...working on a piece of art. Fascinating!
For all those worried about how he handles the gun and the state of his tools just remember this guy probably did a 7 year apprenticeship started at 14/15 years old and then worked decades in the trade. I think he knows what he is doing by now.
I did the same thing at James Purdey and sons and worked there for 30 years. 7 year apprenticeship and then ten years after that the old guys might start to accept that you had some knowledge and might actually listen to something you say.
Best gunsmiths in the world, old chap.
I think even Larry is impressed with Jacks skill and knowledge
Absolutely.
This is my 2nd time watching this video, and once again, I remain humbled. I am most pleased with Mr. Larry Potterfield on his inviting Mr. Jack Rowe on his channel. Truly priceless! Semper Fi
True masters of the craft. I’m grateful to be able to watch this.
Absolutely superb,what a guy,a pleasure to watch.If there is still one thing we have here in Great Britain its first class gunsmiths.Well done guys,keep em coming.

To always a pleasure watching an expert work.
Amazing that all of the filming was done in one day!
IMHO...
Best thing on CZcams.
This was great Larry. It was a true pleasure to watch Jack work. He is obviously a man who has many, many decades of skill and knowledge. It's always a good day when you can be informed by an individual who learned from the masters in whatever field we happen to be talking about. Jack is a true perfectionist at what he does, and you can tell that by the detail, and how well he knows his way around this shotgun. I only hope that Jack has passed on what he has learned to someone who has as much pride and attention to detail as he does. I also hope that you have found a younger individual to pass along all the in and outs to gunsmithing that you have learned over the years. We each must do our part to ensure that the art of gunsmithing remains alive and well after we've all moved on. Great video, and thanks for bringing Jack to us all, it was a real treat.
Thank you. I've gained a lot of knowledge from watching this master gunsmith.
An excellent tutorial.

When I close my eyes, this gent sounds just like Lemmy. And that's pretty frickin' awesome.
Lemmy? Are you kidding me? This man has 1000³ the class of freaking lemmy.....
Another great video! Thanks for putting these together for posterity's sake.
Thank you very much for the video series! It is a rare delight to be able to learn from men of such ability.
Watching this guy work makes me feel like I didn't try hard enough
I watch this annually as a tribute to Jack.
Amazing talent, is a pleasure watching a Master gunsmith of this caliber. 💯👍
A true craftsman in action.
This is what I call a real gunsmith...=) great video regards from Sweden =)
Vv good way to assemble the gun, I learned lots of from midway USA thanks lerrypoter and JAC roy
I did this over 30 years ago, without the aid of CZcams, and got an old 1890s Le Fever, a Purdy, and H&H and some other hammerless box lock shotguns apart and back together again, taking note of some damaged springs, a few missing parts and one broken part. I don't know how I ever managed it, but I did.
that's incredible I will watch this again
Two gentleman from their own backgrounds come together
Larry I'm from Brazil and I am a huge fan of yours. Your videos helped me a lot. Continue with this fantastic skills. thx
Good old English GunSmiths, there`s one in every town :) for some reason i`ve never met a badly dressed one or one that is a Knob.
Mr. Rowe died just months after filming these programs.
What an awesome man.
Beautiful work from probably one of the best to ever live. Dam good goob old man.
Amazing.. lovely bloke
Not many of these fine gentlemen around these days
SUPERB video, what a great way to spend half hour!
Now that's a Master Class!
Un grand messieurs bravo c'est un grand plaisir de travailler avec vous
Great video and one of my favorites. Thank you for the video.
Seeing all those parts laid out on the bench was intimidating. I'm used to firearms with far fewer parts. Pump shotguns. Bolt action rifles. 1911 pistols. Clearly, Mr. Rowe knows these double shotguns the way I know the 1911A1.
I love this old guy, I can't understand a fucking thing he says, but he's pretty cool to watch.
he's forgotten more than i'll ever know of gun smithing!
Wow. A master gun Smith 👍
nice vid.. how fast for an old does he work. Love the way he just chucks his tools down..
I noticed all the screws showing on the outside tightened with the notch running lengthways. Nice firearm.
+Mike Taylor . That is the only way to do it Mike!
Its called points north. That is one nice thing about the finer side by sides and over unders. They are very precise in how they were built. Only a few of the really high end manufacturers do this today.
What a Legend
Is amazing how steady are the hands of that gentleman... Is that the difference between drink tea and coffee?
He died just months after this was shot.
great video...keep them coming.
Brilliant thank you.
Not at all surprised that it worked perfectly.
Thanks Jack and Larry, how about a strip and rebuild of a Greener JP?
Esas manos tan llenas de sabiduría¡!!
Super vidéo ! from FRANCE AYA platine remonté avec brio ...tout un art.Bravo à l'expert armurier!
And there Ya go, thanks to Mr. Rows's golden "turn screws" He's a treat.
Outstanding! Semper Fi
WOW DANG awesome, i wish i knew 1/3 of his knowledge, and could do this,
Even more interesting!
Grandios ein Grandmaster and Masterpiece
Do you notice that Jack likes to throw the tools back on the workbench...LOL.
He's in work mode!!
Love how know one gets dirty beyond the first knuckle, I get filthy just waking through my shop.
This man is a true gunsmith. That said, the sound quality of this video is not as good as others on this channel and he went far too fast for anyone using this video to learn. Same goes for the companion video where he disassembled the same firearm.
Complimenti grande armiere
ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧੀਆ ਜੀ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਸਰ
Profissional de mão cheia
شيء جميل فن في التجميع👍
THE MAN ACTUALLY SAID RIGHT-O
CHIP CHIP CHEERIO IM ENGLISH
Thank You Sir
That's the most complex design for a shotgun I've ever seen
Take pics as you disassemble
Great video. How do you go about finding a gunsmith with good knowledge of old shotguns?
That screw is tight ;) 21:55
Two year program for the cert as well as the aas
Do you sell the tac-con trigger ?
huuuuauuuu muito bom em
Remind me never to take apart mine. I need you guys to hold me back! Two things are being lost in this world, gunsmiths and watchmakers. For some reason young people dont want to learn these crafts.
4:30 "Luke, join the Dark side!"
Молодцы
Can't wait to go to gunsmith school on 8/19/14 got in a year early, i was pushed infront of about 250 people.
I have a problem with a Brazil side by side 12 gague. The breach will not open after being fired. I have never encountered anything like this before. Asking for anyone to help with a solution. Thanks
W. Jeffery y Aranzabal, Plymouth (via Eibar)
what is the name of tool that hold the main spring in 18:40 please tell me🙏🙏
Does anyone know where locks can be purchased? I need 2 lock assemblies for a 20 bore.
o nono monta de olho fechado se precisar!
can i get subtitles?
Why must the front and rear (or left and right trigger) be that particular way round...Why can't they be switched so the right trigger is also the rear trigger? So as to be able to slide the trigger finger from front to back (or left to right) in one smooth transitional "stroking" motion, the same way you can if you shoot left handed.
+caveymoley . The reason for the triggers being this way round is that the front trigger, on the right hand side, fires the right hand barrel ,which is the open choke, and the rear trigger, on the left hand side, fires the more tightly choked left hand barrel. I hope this makes sense.
Help. On this and other MidwayUSA CZcams videos I watch where there is a link to watch the full length video such as the one above bit.ly/1nGHTgZ the link doesn't work. Is that because I'm viewing in the UK?
Hello yaar 1 1 paath ka measurement all template chahie
Because you do not do a more detailed tutorial because I went to mount and I did not understand anything and I set everything up wrong make a video explaining it right there please
Only thing I can think of is, are the vise jaws holding the receiver made of lead, as in, soft enough not to scratch a receiver?? Somebody knowledgeable shed some light on this before I have to dial 911 please........
Jeff loves dogs sorry i'm late to respond, he has lead padding on the vise since its softer
Jeff loves dogs Jack explained it in an earlier video :)
asmr anyone?
shame that good old British shotgun is in fact a Spanish AYA!
I guess you don't need loctite to put a firearm together...
Only if the pin hasn’t been made properly.
@@senseibo4401 No. Screws back out from vibration.
Awesome videos but the condition of those screw drivers is horrible, I can see Larry cringe!
I couldn't tell if it was just the lighting, or if the tips were really as worn as they looked. Because yes, more than one appear to be in absolutely awful condition - more like dull chisels than screwdrivers. Not sure what to make of it.
The slots in gun screws are very narrow, (external ones) so a normal screwdriver won't fit in the slot. Hollow ground screwdriver tips are best I think. Jack's screwdrivers do look very wedge shaped but I guess they do actually fit the screw slots very well.
These English masters call them "Turn Screws" not screwdrivers. Jack makes them himself out of spring steel. I believe there are only two standard english slot sizes for external screws. They may look worn but in fact the look is more home made and they fit perfectly. I believe Larry has a video with Jack showing how he makes his "turn screws".
Mani di fata
I cant waitfor instructional videos by the masters in 2040. Heres on we turned the x box on. Heres how we turned it off. We never left our bedrooms our whole childhood . our kids will never know the true joy of craftsmanship. Shameful.
Oh God you think the same way I do.
WE'RE SCREWED
Stop talking and let the man work
He's a bit rough handling parts and those are not proper screwdriver blades.
he makes them himself. it was explained in an earlier video.
When you work with something for decades you know what you can and can’t do. English gunmakers make their own tools by hand normally when they finish their apprenticeship. We call them turn screws not screwdrivers and you make different turnsrews to fit different pins.
Please remove the subtitles, missing all the art..
Why on earth is he not using a PADDED VISE????? That's a very expensive receiver, as sidelock side by side engraved receivers are. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Just go ahead and ruin that $10,000 or more receiver by risking scratching it up in a non-padded vise!
Gunsmiths have been using leaded vices for a few hundred years, pretty sure they know what they're doing :)
Jeff loves dogs he uses lead, cant u see? Lead wont marr the engravings
After working for decades in the trade I think us gunmakers know what we are doing, thank you, and as my gaffer used to say to me now just watch and pay attention.
