I really enjoy how you "SEE" the cause not the symptom. You express elegance with the simplicity of the repair. Not gacking it up..

[@johnrecknor925]

The craftsmanship in those old drillings is amazing.

[@JaredBallou]

I love the confidence that Mark has with stuff he's never worked on. It's not a careless lack of humility as many people exhibit who overestimate their abilities, but the careful application of years of mechanical and artistic knowledge that gets applied to understand and plan the necessary actions to fix things properly. I'd be terrified to even break the action on a gun like this, but yet again it shows that paying for a master's work is never a bad investment.

[@danliberty734]

Eric in Georgia, huh? I wonder who that could be who likes collecting and shooting old guns. Hmmmm. Beautiful firearm. Thanks for giving her new life.

[@martincorbitt1979]

I do!!!! Martin in South Ga

[@marknovak8255]

iv88, yes this is his

[@zaca952]

There are firearms I wouldn't be comfortable working on, this here is a firearm I wouldn't even be comfortable owning! The craftsmanship put into these old firearms is unbelievable. Great work on bringing this Firearm back into service, also I used BOB'S rust blue to reblue a Krag that someone took a wirewheel to, and it turned out amazing, thank you for all the information!

[@stefanschug5490]

What is really unusual in this combination gun is the modern shift cocking device on the top of the rear stock. In the 60th hardly any drilling was equipped with such a cocking shifter. Sauer, Krieghoff, Suhl, Kettner and others only came up with that in the late 70th. If I remember correctly, and I was a kid then myself, Krieghoff was the first one that came out with that option commercially. Today for safety reasons Blaser and many others have adopted it but my Sauer 3000 drilling (originally my dad's) from the mid 60th doesn't have it yet. The third lock was generally cocked through opening the drop lock as are the two shotgun locks. Anyways, that drilling of yours was either later upgraded with the external cocking device or a very special production of a gunsmith way ahead of his time. To me it looks that some gunsmith put quite a bit of work into this gun with the horn cap, trigger guard and recoil pad. Also the Sauer Luftwaffendrilling was the only production drilling to my knowledge with an aluminum housing. This drilling was, if the date is right a special order project for somebody that had a lot of money and high status. At the Nuernberg gun show in 1986 I have seen one impressive Heym drilling with gold inlays with a sales price of US $ 350 000.- Love your videos by the way!

[@morgansimis1297]

Leave it up to the Luftwaffe’s hefty head honcho to acquire a beautiful, unwieldy sporting piece as pilot survival rifles.

[@fj4036]

Veeolla! Some folks don't realize that having sight and all your digits at the end of the day is sometimes quite an accomplishment.

[@sstace69]

That gun is amazingly schizophrenic. It's beautiful outside. The receiver portion is very elegant but the lock work looks like a Rube Goldberg affair! And I loved every bit of it!

[@-Minto-]

honestly one of the most wholesome channels on the tube, xDD well-done sir

[@koehlerrk1]

I was very curious to see how the lockwork activated three barrels with two triggers... and then it's also a set trigger! I do not blame you for not wanting to tear that blivet down to the component level... An amazing piece of gunsmithing, something most of us will never own, thank you for sharing that with us good sir. Bruno, excellent camera work, as always. You make Mark look good on screen.

[@rocksandoil2241]

Always fascinated by drillings

[@mr.thickey1820]

"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"!!! Senor Mark, you ol' "flabbergasted barnacle" you! Your video was "mesmerizing" to say the least! As a retired industrial designer, technical illustrator, draftsman, & other good schtoof, I can't imagine a man with a pencil & paper, drawing up, engineering, the very very complicated action work, from the brain in his head (the best place for a brain too!)!!! Amazing designing! THEN machining all those complicated parts to fit & work together!! NO CNC machining either! Unbelievable to the "bwain" in my ol' head! That horn trigger guard was a great piece of beauty & craftsmanship too! How many hours to "hog it out"?! You didn't even get to show off the gorgeous wood stock either! YOUR gunsmithing expertise is a wonder to behold too! This video greatly helps me to more appreciate the wonder of the GOD given human mind!!! THANK YOU MARK for making the end of my day such a blessing! "Gesundheit" & pass da LUTEFISK poleaze!

[@HausarztpraxisDrProem]

The date of first shooting was probably before 1933, because there is no eagle with swastika and no date of first shooting like it is common later. All these guns were made in Suhl, I think Hubertus was no company like Simson or Sauer. It was the trademark of AKAH a trading company in Gummersbach, that still exists until today. Very nice gun!

[@andrewsmith9455]

This firearm is an example of a true work of art and engineering excellence. Thank you for this demonstration

[@weinerdog137]

Indeed. Marvelous work.

[@GHOST0766]

Another piece of history saved and what a beauty… keep them coming. As usual great work…

[@wilsonlaidlaw]

I remember drooling over the lovely drillings for sale at a shop in Kitzbühl, Austria. The UK authorities for some reason are not keen on them, presumably because they don't fit into their required neat categories but that would not stop me applying for one at my French house. Ideally 2 x 20g + 1 x 9.3 x 62R or 74R for the all wild boar that are tearing my garden up.

[@TheTarrMan]

It's absolutely amazing the craftsmanship that used to go into things that we humans used to make. . . . . What the hell happened to us?

[@ScottKenny1978]

People thought they'd make more money if they sold a new unit every couple of years.

[@FrednDeeDee]

A perfect example of cause and effect or causes and effects in this case. And it just kept getting worser and worser. Not to worry boys and girls. Your "Hero" and mine, Mark Novak, will make it all better. I enjoy watching Mark do his thing better than watching old Clutch Cargo Cartoons. Your #1 Fan !!!!!!!!!!!

[@desolatemetro]

Maybe odd for a viewer of this channel, but I'm not a huge vintage firearms guy, I just like Mark's videos and techniques. That gun, however, is beautiful. I would love to get one just like this. That almost heart shaped transition from stock to action is incredible. Dark black anodizing with the engraving showing silver...wow. Just the style of the engraving is awesome too.

[@Otisthelesser]

Absolutely beautiful firearm. The unusual materials and mechanism to produce a true “walk in the woods” sporting arm show a lot of care and engineering. Great episode Mark.

Mark, Starboard is to the Right and Port is to the Left. I will thank you one the lesson for Acraglass, never knew that having the wood damp increased the bond strength.

[@pystykorva7114]

I once had similar drilling as that one and loved it! The problem was it was too fancy for me to carry and bang in the woods in the rain so i decided to sell it and buy a cheaper combination gun (with one less barrel) for hunting. I didn't wanna worry about the gun all the time while being in the field.

[@ScottKenny1978]

They make great sense as a "one gun to go hunting" with. Too bad most hunting regulations really frown on that now...

[@marinioaweischo6614]

Nice, i think there are not much american gunsmith that understand a drilling. The rear triggerplate screw or cross screw is conical and just bears in front of the wood so its pulling the hole action back.Thats important, if it dont "pulls" you have to make a bigger screw or bed the wood hole in front.

[@sheldoniusRex]

Does Eric in Georgia also have a KZbin channel? Just wondering. Magnificent drilling in any respect. All around a good looker. Though to most of us in the current era it is weird that anyone would use aluminum to make such a high end gun, of course ninety years ago aluminum wasn't considered cheap or pedestrian like it is now. That trigger mechanism was what those of us who were in the Army would call a clusterfuck. I wouldn't have taken it apart for any reason other than dire necessity either.

[@chekovsgunman]

IIRC it's Eric of IV8888. Could be wrong, but they name checked him in the Project Lightening wrap up so I'm going with that.

[@marknovak8255]

IV8888, yes. Eric and Chad

[@ScottKenny1978]

Yeah, you'd have to pay me enough to retire on to get into that trigger group! Yikes! 😬 Actually, I think I would ship it to Germany and let Hans, who was an apprentice when this was built originally, to fix it. And pay *him* to pull out however much of his hair is left...
