- HAVE I TAKEN ON TOO MUCH?
Unavoidably, so close the Christmas holidays, and the Boxing Day shoot, the inevitable rush repair.. suspected light strike, or misfire, an intermittent fault, plus the cartridge manufacturer has some differences in their old and new cartridge stock... far too many variables.. Will my gamble to take this gun on for a rapid repair prove to be too much to take on?
Errata in the video: MacNab Highlanders were made by Batista Rizzini. The MacNab Lowlanders were made by Sabatti
The Devongunsmith Diaries concept was conceived by me during lock down, and the premise was to be able to perform work without a fully set up gunsmiths workshop, but rather, using just the Cottage Kitchen Table, a few hand tools, some cordless tools, a table vice, and other small DIY tools.
While the channel is not specifically intended to be a how to guide, it is mainly for entertainment.
While in the UK gunsmithing must be performed by the Licenced Gun Trade, CZcams is without borders, and if the channel is useful to someone as either entertainment, or indeed helps you to decide if a repair might be possible, then I have been a help to you.

I come from New Zealand and we don't have any good gunsmiths here anymore that no how look after and service good quality english guns properly. The last good gunsmith we had was a bespoke gunmaker that trained at Purdeys who I had used from time to time but sadly I here he passed away recently. I really enjoy your videos and have become interested in gunsmithing and intend to have a go at fixing one of my guns..keep up the good work.👍
The very reason I set up this channel was the premise of a guy fixing his gun on a kitchen table, with normal DIY tools… I have received some criticism from some elitist people, who fail to understand what is happening.. If I use specialty equipment, then the guy in the outback cannot learn anything about how to fix a gun 400 miles from nearest gunsmith.
Let me know what issues you might have, and I’ll try to cover the problems in a video. 👍
Another very interesting Video Paul looking forward to more of the same👍
More to come!
I love your videos.i'm a mechanic but would have been a gunsmith, if there had been the opportunity.
Thank you. I’ve wondered if the content I produced was watchable. So glad you enjoy them👍
Excellent video , as always
Thank you! Cheers!
I use a small block of Ebony wood to ck the strike of FPin and you can check the before and after dent in the ebony wood, grind the back end of a cheep verniers dial calipers and then measure the depth of strike on test block as well, cheers 🍻
Love that technique! Great idea 💡
All of the similar actions that I have taken apart have a tiny hole in the stay, so cocking the hammers and putting a thin steel wire through the hole means that releasing the sear with then de-tension the spring and they can be removed (and replaced) easily along with the stay.
Yes... that firing pin has been abused..... the term in some parts of the world is "Bubba'd"... 😀
What was the cloth you used to clean up the firing pins?
Either Mirka mirlon, scotch brite, wet and dry emery paper, or even the green bit on a dishwashing sponge will do the job.
Thanks. Looked like a pan scourer but wasn't sure. Need more content like yours showing straightforward gunsmithing content. Keep up the good work👍
@@stevemartin641 the green pan scourer is a generic scotch brite type material and can be used in a pinch. Thanks for your support. (Don’t forget to like & Subscribe) 👍
Hi do you test fire before it goes back to the customer?
Yes Mate.. you see me testing it in the video 🤣
Yes he does, I regularly see him hanging out of the bedroom window letting drive with both barrels ! .
