Anvil 067 RePost: Savage/North Navy Percussion Revolver

[@TreverSlyFox]

Always fascinating to watch a master smith work on an intricate system.

[@davidharrington6944]

Best firearms channel on KZbin bar none.

[@mrbosh2601]

Agreed.

[@jimvandemoter6961]

I was thinking of something while I was watching you, My guitar students used to say I made it look easy. I told them the longer you do it the easier it becomes, but it's never truly easy, you always have to think about what you're doing. That's where the challenge comes from, but it's also where the fun is. Well done.

[@johnbaker1039]

Mark, really enjoy these videos. Not only do you educate us on how you do repairs you do a great job of sharing your thought process during the repairs. Thank-you.

[@cassiuslives4807]

Particularly making the toggle link was beautiful to watch, and seeing that it works and fires a vindication of all the work. Bravo!

[@unclebuzz6913]

THIS IS AN AWESOME EPISODE . IT'S LIKE Dejvue all over again. I still say that Mark has the best job in the world ! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES STAY SAFE

[@rossfudd256]

Thank you Mark! By the way if Othais or you make a Anvil tee-shirt, maybe one that has the Anvil name and logo with a caption "I am a carbon based life form!", or "I get watered twice today!"

[@StonyRC]

Mark, the privilege is distinctly OURS. Thank you, Sir.

[@OutOfNamesToChoose]

Nothing makes me happier than an anvil episode

[@bgdavenport]

I appreciate your use of the correct terminology as it aids in my learning effort. "Gizmo," I like it!

[@JimAustin-v6v]

Aside from the great work you did to the gun itself, your ability to explain what the issues, how to address them and video it, is superb. You've got a gift, my friend.

[@michaelscottalloway8915]

you know I really enjoy watching you as you always have something I have never seen before and it always interest me as you make them work again

[@terryferebee8522]

As also a pleasure to watch you work. The way you explain the mechanics is amazing and how thing go together is simplified.

[@mikemccollum4521]

I enjoy watching you work and explaining what you are doing

[@MrLarryC11]

Mark - it is a pleasure to watch you work. You make it look so easy!

[@Whitpusmc]

What, the 24 hour Civil War revolver parts store was out of links? I hope you left a scathing review on Yelp......

[@LeewardStudios]

Mark, anytime I hear “going down the rabbit hole” I know I am going to watch a true craftsman at work. I also know I am about to learn how little I know. Truly a pleasure seeing an artist at work. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄!

[@Trumplican]

27:20 "i got news for you guys I'm the guy that makes the part for Sarco" LOL

[@joshuazoldschool4720]

The privilege is all mine. To be able to watch a master at his craft working on such amazing and unique tools is absolutely satisfying and I am truly enriched by your gift. Thank you Sir👍😉

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Thanks you sir......l am 78 years old now...l always loved this sort of thing...!

[@marksimone5609]

Now this is is what u call a master gunsmith! I wish I knew what mark forgot. Lol love the videos keep them up.

[@davewilliams6172]

Interesting design, but it would not have taken long from new for the slop to set in, they must have needed a lot of maintenance...not something you would want in the field. Excellent video Mark, I love the channel and many thanks for sharing with us.

[@Siskiyous6]

I believe you created good Karma through saving this history

[@nickm9123]

that sound though.... doink doink doink..... god I love old guns

[@buckstarchaser2376]

Some of those parts were very interesting. It was like looking at a Kel-Tec, before crack and plastic were invented.

[@watrdog504]

I'm not a gunsmith nor a machinist but it's just fascinating seeing how you come up w/ the fixes for the various pieces you work on.

[@BrassCatcher]

I’m impressed every time I watch one of your videos

[@victorbrown3032]

It’s 9-7-23 I just acquired one these to work on. Mine is unique in that it was modified to advance with only the hammer. No finger loop. How cool that youtube presented this video to me at this moment!

[@ResistTheNonsense]

Reaally interesting session on this one!

[@jzeck2]

As always very interesting. Love delving into these old designs and the history of repairs done to these weapons.

[@daiprout323]

Superb restoration and conservation aside... I've been on the lathe (wood) reaching round a camera all morning... Hats off brother!! Now excuse me whilst I go curse a blue streak through the air.

[@craigfurey942]

Already watched this when you first posted it but your videos are too good not to rewatch

[@tommy765100]

Okay now this was a good one. Would luv to see more civil War guns...

[@chellybub]

Found this channel by wanting to learn more about the Savage Navy after seeing another video about the Figure 8. Excellent video! I'm excited to see what else you have in store for us. Sending my appreciation from the land down under 🇦🇺💜🇺🇸

[@marknovak8255]

I play piano and still couldn't figure the manual of arms out. That's why I shot it with one finger only. Glad to have you aboard for the ride....

[@craighearn747]

Q

[@robertl6196]

That operating system does not strike me as Soldier Proof.

[@wierdalien1]

Hence why revolvers became self opersting

[@k1j2f30]

Soldier proof?? I'm not convinced it's even kitten proof!

[@tboneihmc2488]

Thanks Mark! I learn something every video.

[@nazdagg2027]

after the motorcycle mechanic has done the repairs, he is expected to give the unit a test ride. riding somebody else's junk is always the scary part. be safe, have fun.

[@ScottKenny1978]

Same with an aircraft mechanic. If you're not going to fly it after you fix it, why should anyone else?

[@rp8133]

Thanks for this vid. These old revolvers have some history to them, that I really like. Although, I never would rely on this technological specialities, for obvious reasons. But, this gun is best for display 'cause of its historical meaning. Please continue your lessons of gun smithing. I guess I am not the only one that likes to see it.

[@garytrowbridge2790]

For a lover of all things firearms related. Me. Mr Novak is a true American treasure

[@acoow]

That's a fascinating piece of gear!

[@timothyruggles7396]

That was HISTORICALL thank you.

[@hamm6035]

Mark you bring the coolest stuff.

[@brentwarkentin5850]

Mark, Thanks for your videos... they are so educational»!! Love them...

[@daviddiffenderfer6963]

Love that mark please show more like that one

[@barryeaton8907]

Fascinating as always. Thank you Mark

[@kevinauld4367]

To thank you for all your efforts to show us how it's done will never be enough. But it's the best I can do right now thankyou .

[@keithkrone77]

That is amazing you made that work. You’re a genius.

[@shaneharrison4775]

One unique piece of odd but interesting kit for sure

[@wjsj69]

That rabbit hole was really fun!!!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very unusual design that I think would be a bear to deal with under duress. When you fired it was it only the caps or did you charge the weapon with powder and ball? If only the caps then those are some smoky caps, I am not a black powder shooter so I have zero experience with it.

[@ashleysmith3106]

Beautifully done for a beautiful old gun! I would love one of these just for its interesting internals.

[@randymagnum143]

You should generate a cad file for that hand and have them wire edm'd out of a2! Wonder how big the market is for race parts for savage revolvers?

[@marknovak8255]

Not as large as you might be lead to believe.....

[@Oliviiiful]

Great work has always

[@Loyer333]

I had one of these in even worse mechanical shape. Sold to someone in USA as a parts/wall hanger. When it arrived at the destination, the box had been carefully opened with a razor knife and the pistol stolen. Made an error in shipping insurance and it ended up costing me money to sell the gun. I will never make that mistake again.

[@paulrainsford1953]

Fair dues for getting that to function.

[@lancemillward2462]

thats a super weird design. glad to see you getting it going again

[@briancox2721]

Danger: this firearm not to be operated by shooter with cranial-rectal intersection.

[@elijahaitaok8624]

I think it has before we just don't have the records

[@ScottKenny1978]

Can be said about every firearm, though.

[@Khanclansith]

Those olde times revolvers are really quirky

[@keepyourbilsteins]

Our priveledge Mark. Amazing

[@Monster11B]

I second that. I was going to type the same.

[@coreys2686]

That is such a strange sounding pop gun. I feel like I must have said that in another life, or another version of this video.

[@hoodoo2001]

I had one of these, pretty beat up, that I used in a reenactment. Quite fun.

[@nicholascrawford6068]

It has a very interesting noise when it's fired.

[@STEVEN-STEELE]

Yeah it reminded me of when you hit the end of a hollow tube. It scared me when I realized he fired the pistol the first time with the other charged cylinders uncapped. Most chain fires start from the nipple end, not the ball end. It's why you make damn sure your caps are secure. I read that was a design problem with this particular revolver. As the nipples were close to 90 degrees in relation to the cylinder. In firing the nipples that were towards the ground could it not given a nice squeeze when capping. Could fall off with the recoil jerking the pistol upward. Needless to say he did indeed use his karma for the year. Very interesting design. If memory serves me right. Henry or Winchester bought the design off of this pistols maker. The toggle link was improved and used in the lever action rifle.

[@ethanphillips8637]

Fantastic adventure through an unusual arm. Well done

[@cul9193]

That was a whole new kind of awesome.

[@gumbomudderx7503]

That’s probably my favorite cap and ball pistol of the civil war era. I really wish I could find and afford a functional one

[@elifoust7664]

Mesmerized

[@Odin029]

That file work is amazing. If I tried that the part would look like a half sucked lollipop.

[@ngilbert100]

I was going to say the same, the man is a artist with a file.

[@napalmholocaust9093]

Ever see a chainfire from running hot without all the caps on?

[@bbarton84]

Amazing! You are a genius!

[@djinfwb]

Very informative! Thanks Mark!

[@mushroomsamba82]

2:30 I really didn't appreciate the uncomfortable angle at which Mark has to work until this shot. That can't be good for the back!

[@HarryP457]

Someone needs to fund Mark a small camera boom rig.

[@vilsiran]

The camera should be above the bench, and shooting straight down.

[@michaeltempsch5282]

HarryP457 Looks like something like a 'magic arm', attached to the shelving could do

[@Stigstigster]

@@HarryP457 Mark answered that question before and said "Camera is still in your face, and you are still reaching around to keep your hands out of the way. We have tried it both ways, this is far more rigid, no camera bounce"

[@mohammedimran3670]

Do you know what kind of metal was used in the construction of this weapon was it some form of steel or iron?

[@MLKusername]

"That works out to a number 12 drill bit. IT JUST DOES." Lol.

[@ScottKenny1978]

Drill bit numbers never made sense to me.

[@bradlilly8603]

Love the videos

[@daveclemons1225]

Great Video Mark!!!

[@StonyRC]

Pure gunsmithing - MANY thanks.

[@stowers157]

Nice job Mark! Now get the muck and gack off of it and angel piss the hell out of it. Love the videos and the passion you have for preserving history.

[@tiortedrootsky]

These reverse engineering videos are gold!

[@nicolainicolaev3153]

Hello, Mark. I also have Savage Navy, but i have never shoot. How much Black powder you charged ? Merci

[@marknovak8255]

35 grains, under a round ball. Pretty much just fill the cylinder till there is just enough room for the projectile

[@nicolainicolaev3153]

@@marknovak8255 Thank you, Mark

[@edmazzeo1985]

mark you're so bright....i have to wear sunglasses ,just to watch the vided...

[@Rspri10104]

Very cool.

[@jgranger3532]

There is a hell of a lot going inside a fairly small space in this Savage.

[@frankdn109]

Fascinating as usual! One question: no need to harden (toughen) that new link?

[@marknovak8255]

No difference, but the rest of the gun is as soft as a wad of double bubble.......

[@gregwright392]

That was just cool to see and hear shoot

[@thralldumehammer]

Love the videos. Trying to figure out how to get my dads type 38 carbine so it can be maintained. It would be gorgeous, only problem really barrel is dark. It would be a nice surprise for my 73 year old dad!

[@randymagnum143]

Ive had good luck with dark bores with 0000 steel wool on a jag, and a lot of elbow grease. Sometimes there is also a lot of copper jacket rubbed off in there, and a copper remover speeds things up.

[@keithkrone77]

What a weird design. How many people lost some fingers and faces with that deal.

[@dsofilms9334]

Is this considered the first double action revolver?

[@M.M.83-U]

Very interesting.

LMFAO!!!! *Just used up his karma for the rest of the year?* Nah man, decade, sorry bro.

[@Voelund]

Do good civil war era revolver smiths live in rabbit holes? A bit like "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit..."

[@coozy100]

Technically they are in holes. Cuz 99.9999 percent of them are dead. After 200 years 😂

[@johnhewett5952]

late to the discussion, but are the screws in the right places? I'm watching the part when he took it apart. 12:30 to 13:00.

[@marknovak8255]

Dont assume we are the first people in the project!

[@terryhall9159]

Once again excellent Mark!

[@keithkrone77]

I 100% love your videos.

[@emiliohernandez2790]

Curious????....Are there any guns ever brought in..That the cost of fixing it is not worth the gun being saved...Or do you just fix whatever the costumer wants.So in otherwords spending $500 on a $200 gun..I know all guns have varying degrees of worth but just curious?

[@SanchoKobe]

I'm guessing if a gun can be saved and the owner is willing to pay whatever, then Mark will do what he's paid to do. But Mark also has to be willing to certify that a gun is safe to operate, and if a gun is so hosed up he can't do that then it probably doesn't matter how much money the owner is willing to throw at it.

[@virgilcain8152]

Nice work! Great videos! Thanks

[@MrThomass281]

My brother has one with similar issues.

[@giuseppe4909]

That was pretty awesome. What a wild pistol !

[@Frank-Thoresen]

That camera position is not practical for you when working. Why don't you place it above looking down?

[@oftenwrong.]

Well done. Very entertaining!!!

[@bluescatreimer]

If anyone can fix any kind of gun, Mark can.
