    CZcams doesn't like this content, but it's a gunsmith repair video!!
    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.

    What a sweet gun to own. Beautiful job all around. My favorite videos side by side shotguns.

    Viewing this gun brings back memories of the Greener that I carried for years on upland bird hunting. My chokes were IC / M and the gun shot well even though it had been built for another gentleman. It’s always noticeable when you look closely at the wood that the gun has been in the hands of less than professional individuals working with tools not suited for the proper task. The stock grain on this is almost identical to that of mine. I deeply regret having sold the gun several years back because it was somewhat unique in comparison to other guns that I had. Beautiful right down to the silver stock oval. I do like the checked butt job you did.👍🇨🇦👨‍🦳

    Hey Devon Gunsmith! This is FANTASTIC! What great timing .... am trying to learn the skill here in CA and not a lot of mentors. Thank you!

    I'm interested in your dive watch. It looks like an Omega Seamaster?

    • @devongunsmith4698
      @devongunsmith4698  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I wish! 🤣 it’s an Tag Heuer 1500. With a Swiss quartz movement.
      The “Heuer Monnin Mk1 Reference 844 Dive Watch” was the original automatic submariner style with the Mercedes hour hand,
      The Tag Heuer Aquamaster is the equivalent to the Seamaster these days, used Tag Heuer can be found with a much lower price point, but still a quality Swiss watch👍

    Hi, I have just got hold of one of these, looks like the exact same one. Would you be able to share the model details so I can research?

    • @devongunsmith4698

      No, sorry, once the customer has collected the gun, I tend to forget details..

  • @devongunsmith4698
    @devongunsmith4698  Před 8 měsíci

    Are you using 76 mm (3 inch) cartridges in a gun chambered for 65(2.5inch) or 67mm (2.75 inch)?
    That commonly causes the hull jam you describe..

    Peter, amazing work! Where did you source the length of pull calipers? Thanks

      The Shotgun Combo Gauge - Robert Louis Company Inc.
      Extremely expensive but the amount of gun-fitting I do, was a little gift to myself.
      FYI I plan to do a "how to measure stock dimensions" using much cheaper measuring tools!

    Agree, leave the gun with some original patina, makes to look like a old gun which it is, sleeving keeps the gun safe to shoot, IMHO does not lower value.

    Evening, I have an issue with my beretta silver pigeon 3. Every time I fire the bottom barrel, the empty cartridge gets stuck and won't eject, I have to ram it out with a rod. However, when using snap caps, it ejects fine. Any ideas

    • @devongunsmith4698
      @devongunsmith4698  Před 8 měsíci

      I would first ask you what cartridges you are using? If you’re shooting large shot 4’s or above it’s most likely the hull’s deformation when it’s pressed. But it could be many things. Ejector springs, corrosion in the chamber, falling to break the gun fully, I would first look at the hulls of the cartridge to see it I can see shot pressing against the hull walls increasing the size of the cartridge..!?

      Thanks for the reply. It's a new gun, it happened the first time I shot it, I've tried many different brands of cartridges, but it still gets stuck.

      Just come back from a clay shoot and still getting stuck in the bottom chamber, however today it decided to completely lock the whole gun up.
      Any ideas
      Many thanks Ashley
