Isaac Hollis and Sons Antique Wild Fowling Percussion 12 Bore: sympathetic conservation
The Colonial Gunsmith: • Colonial Gunsmith
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.

Love your work
@@paulheiser1 thank you 👍
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.
A mineral oil for the interior parts, and a traditional boiled linseed oil for outer metals and wood stock but less is more! If you cost linseed oil thickly, it will create a sticky gel mess. Use very sparingly.
@@devongunsmith4698 Thank you.
No worries 👍
Hi, when doing the barrel were you using raw linseed oil or boiled linseed oil please? Super video.
It’s boiled linseed oil.
