How to Disassemble a Boxlock | British Side-by-Side Shotguns | MidwayUSA

[@pastalavista5754]

This old gent has probably forgotten more than we'll ever know! Great stuff, I love the way he says "chuck it in the box"! If I did that I'd forget which bit belongs where!

[@warwickmudge4114]

My sentiments exactly, the old boy certainly is a living encyclopaedia, if you didn't know any better you might think he's in his dotage..big mistake! I too loved the way he just flicked the parts away as he was finished with them! Total confidence!

[@Badbri2A]

for sure ha.

[@Hobgoblin1975]

Jack is a pretty awesome guy, but I can see the old guy doesn't have too many winters left. I am glad KZbin and the the internet has come along to preserve some of his character and skill.

With great respect to Jack, thank you for getting this recorded and available for all of us in the business. I love to study under the masters. Thank you.

[@Hotdogger808]

shame Jack passed away in June. A wealth of knowledge that has been preserved thanks to both Larry and Jack.

[@MrRea45]

indeed

[@renelopez2244]

What a wealth of knowledge

[@gm6hgw]

I could watch Jack work all day. Such a wealth of knowledge and even if you don't strip your firearms down to component parts, it give an insight as to how your shotgun functions. Thanks Jack and Larry.

[@GPH1403]

Love hearing an old west midlands accent, reminds of my grandad

[@BSKustomz]

Larry, thank you, thank you, thank you, for preserving the knowledge of the elder generation... we can only truly learn from the experience of those those who have before us

[@chrishullhull9156]

this man is a master gunsmith

[@Doan84]

His might be old, but his brain still remembers every step of the disassembly perfectly.

[@spanielbeater]

Absolutely brilliant. A true craftsman sharing a lifetimes experience.

[@QuillHyde]

I got an old boxlock - and have been sneaking up on total disassembly - and I appreciate this video so much. I learned a lot - like, that I need to make special screwdrivers for this gun - almost like chisels. The screws have hand-made super-thin slots with decorative patterns across the heads - which are very beautiful, but very hard to turn without messing up. So, now I know! And now I have a basic idea of what I'm getting into - mechanically - and I had to laugh every time I heard 'chuck it in the bin' - that's exactly what I do. That chucking motion. The defiant, I'm still in the game, it took all my power, but I did it! chuck. Thank you!

[@LEXxTALIONS7913]

I love to see and ear this amazing talented man explaining this! Even the sound of is voice is so relaxing!

[@500asquare]

I am blown away by the fitting and precision of the parts as well as the engineering to make it all work. Its also important to have young people apprentice in these trades. I have seen to many master tradesmen taking there wealth of knowledge to the rocking chair. Thank for a excellent video

[@dan78kit]

You guys are awesome there is a bond present, and by the way great camera work Mr. Potterfield, Mr. Rowe thank you for your time. I noticed such an effort to share all of this knowledge with all of us, the viewers. i only wish MidwayUSA would also make products available to Canadians as well.

Nice to see the use of proper 'Turn Screws' Here Sheer Masters indeed! Nice vid Guys...

[@mickf3885]

i love how informative and thorough he is, i wish i could ask him how to remove the top lever and tumbler on an AYA, its obviously a different way to remove it, but everything else was very similar

[@matthecyrus5]

love the old guard. lots to learn form men like that. people who were there when these firearms were popular.

Wow what a daunting task.. And this is exactly the reason why a double barrel shotgun is significantly more expensive than a pump! lol so many little parts... Brilliant series gentlemen, Jack is an absolute wealth of knowledge! :-)

[@James-fs4rn]

👍 years of knowledge packed into 20min.

[@Dozer1003]

What an amazing Gentleman, with an absolute WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE and this was a truly amazing video and the most impressive thing about this video is that Jack just rolls along naming each component as he strips this shotgun down to its bare bones, without a hitch!!! Now, I'm going to watch him put it back together with the same precision as he disassembled it!!! I almost feel inspired to do the same thing to my FEG CONTINENTAL 200 12 GAUGE SXS but it also has EJECTORS and they have me a little concerned...Lol...AH!! Who am I kidding here, I'm scared to death to try this on my FEG 200!!! :) Thank You for a Great Video!!!

[@dereksullins4841]

Just found this video a few weeks ago. Thank you very much for putting this information together. Although it wasn't my exact gun, this video helped me take my CZ Ringneck apart after it went swimming on a duck hunt near Tulsa, OK. It was in a bad need of solvent and oil after that trip.

[@markandrews6567]

You can tell he’s a pro by the way he chucks the screws around.

[@ptitseb01]

Thank you Grandpa for sharing the knowledge. I'm actually willing to restore one such gun I received. Really nice and well explained video. Best regards!

[@chrisjohnson4165]

When you watch this, remember that each and every part was hand made by craftsmen, working for peanuts. Usually in Birmingham, workers had to rent a bench space in a large workshop.

[@ATINKERER]

Wow! Who is this guy? He sure knows his stuff. Lets see lots more of him!

[@philcurley3143]

He's from the midlands too you can hear in his accent. Probably birmingham the epicentre of english gunsmithing.

Not anymore, the gun quarter is no longer called so because 50 people complained to the council about the name.

[@bombdoc42]

Well.. it isn't going to fix itself... go on try - make new springs.. After a few you might succeed and you would have learned something, All you need is a file, a hammer and a blowtorch..

[@garrylycos4795]

Very complicated. RIP Jack. Sad all that knowledge gone.

[@SWEmanque]

I wonder how many have done this and then had to go to the gunsmith to get it put back together :)

[@thomasmanolakos4788]

This is a lot easier than a Parker Brother shotgun.

[@fullretardcustomguns837]

Interesting to see those "turn screws", they look like triangle points compared to what we are told should be hollow ground and fitted screwdrivers. Guy makes me think of Seinfeld, when the old guy "fixed" George's "Jon Voight car."

[@GottliebGoltz]

I saw this program some years ago, nothing has changed much but I still have my lead "soft jaws" for My vice, they really hold certainly better than leather, etc.

I knew Jack was going to tease you by trying to bail on you, What a great smith.. taking nothing from you Harry, your simply, The Best.. I'm just moving to gunsmith from being a Master Auto Technician (43 years) What a great field of craftsmanship, it's a shame it's being threatened politically, and really has me concerned..

[@sergeantbigmac]

Good Luck! There are a number of people out there who call themselves 'gunsmiths' because they know how to use a bottle of cold blue and a hacksaw (but are really more like a 'bubba', if you catch my drift haha) Few are truly skilled and well trained... with your experience it sounds like you would be one of the good ones! ;)

[@MrTigerprincess]

This man is a master craftsmen but if I or anyone I kn ow tried to do this we would have a pile of nothing but parts with no idea of what to do with them or if they were in good or bad shape etc. Even If I copied this video and reverse engineered it for hours and hours I would end up with nothing but an unusable and probably very dangerous shotgun. This video just makes it clear to me that I should not mess with something I know nothing about. I have a cheap side by side 20 guage with a problem that I see may not be worth repairing since it will probably cost more to repair than it is worth.

[@Cornbread_1776]

+Ed noyb look, im not trying to be disrespectful. but isnt a part of life learning and gaining knowledge ? just go for it, tear it apart, figure out what makes it tick. Learn to fix it, either by internet, books or figuring it out. every new firearm i purchase i field strip it then tear it down further so i know what goes where, any firearm in my house i could field strip and assemble in the dark. So get after it man. I'm not a "professional gunsmith" or master of the arts, but i would tell you to stay away from shaving anything, at least for now. a couple years back i bought a H&R pardner, grew up on a 20 gauge model, mines a 12 though, anyway i bought it and the barrel release was loose wiggly and wobbly, so i took it apart, took out the hammer, the trigger, obviously took off the barrel, came to the conclusion the notch thats ON the barrel was too high, so i slowly shaved it down, and what do ya know? the barrel release is no longer wobbly wiggly n loose. so just do it man.

[@MrTigerprincess]

My inexpensive shotgun is a side by side, double trigger 20 gauge that cost me $100.oo at a gun show. It worked fine for about 20 hunting trips and then I heard a rattle in the receiver area and it stopped firing. It is not the firing pin I checked that out. It is somewhere inside the receiver. I know something came loose or broke and yes I could take it apart but I need to be real careful to record where everything is and hopefully where it belongs. As the video shows though is that it is a little more critical than just putting things back for a gun to work properly and especially to be safe. Yes I could attempt to repair it and I may. But I am not going to just go for it and blow my hand off or blind myself or whatever over a $100.oo shotgun. I like this shotgun very much but not more than my well being. .

[@Cornbread_1776]

+Ed noyb man, excuses.. only thing you need to watch out for thatll hurt or blind you is the spring for the hammers... take pictures of every step or video record yourself taking it apart for a library, thats what i did my first time. but again, you do you, im just trying to help.

[@karvast5726]

I find this mentality quite stupid if it's broken and not worth repairing take it as an opportunity to tear it appart and learn how to fix things if you can't put it back together or if it is unsafe you don't loose anythink every craftman started somewhere and they all made a mistake of some kind at some point
