Gun Making: Lock, Stock, & Barrel (1956) | British Pathé

[@The_Young_Aristocrat]

England has and will always make the best shotguns.

[@CarlGuymer1]

What a pleasure to watch! So much experience...now gone of course.

[@11slash711]

Never gone my friend. It shall return

[@johnhodges8264]

Holland and Holland, Purdy, Rigby Westly Richards and Boss are still hand made.

[@CarlGuymer1]

I meant the guys in the video...I assumed they will be long dead...and their experience will have died with them

[@senseibo4401]

@@CarlGuymer1 but everything they knew they passed on to their apprentices. I worked 30 years as a barrelmaker for Purdeys and passed on that knowledge to the new generation.

[@senseibo4401]

@Anne Camille Barairo try £150,000 for a new gun.

[@martybadboy]

2:15 made by hand because eyes are more accurate than machine. Machines have come a long way since then but the statement still has its place.

[@wholeNwon]

No longer true, of course.

[@BeaumontBrowning]

@@wholeNwon i would say it is true only in the way that I can one time make one thing more accurately than a machine but that machine make nearly as accurately 100 fold the same thing.

Beautiful. Both the craftsmanship and the product are amazing.

[@Rahul-tc1nx]

Fine craftsmanship.

[@englishman9020]

I just love the 1950s British accent

[@indigohammer5732]

It's a big place Britain. Can you be any more vague?

[@curt6926]

Its just an Atlantic accent, pretty much every show was in this accent back in the day (uk and usa), not many actually spoke like this

[@elvin2pac396]

Old guns are asome.

Yes, until they backfire & blow up in your face

That was a real treat, in colour too! Purdey's I presume?

Elsewhere there is a reply also 8 years ago, stating this is Grant & Lang Co.

Guns are beautiful objects. I remember drawing a realistic pistol when I was an artsy teenager and my leftist mom scolding me because guns are dangerous and I shouldn't be glorifying them. Gee it's not like drawings can kill, couldn't you at least praise your daughter for doing a good job? 🤣

Is that shop where the gun is being fitted to the customer Boss and co. ?

[@joeguzman3558]

That's how American companies used to make guns before 1964

[@R-Lee-]

To save people looking £1,000 for a pair of guns, is the equivalent to £26,465 in 2020. Today a SINGLE gun will cost you £30,000+ !!!!!
