A 100 YEARS OLD DELUXE QUACKENBUSH : shooting and servicing

I knew about their existence. By pure luck walked into a local antique gun shop and saw it there.
The most deluxe of the QUACKENBUSH 22 rimfire rifles.
How could I let it go??? Got it!!!
Wanted to share some info, briefly functioning and disassembly/ service of the unusual bridge block.
Again, I am a sucker for gun mechanisms especially in 22.
Enjoy.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Amazing rifle. The lens on your camera seems lacking. The rifle in amazing shape deserves another video!

[@STEINBVG]

Thanks. Never intended to make professional videos. Used only iPad . But will consider the criticisms and suggestions.

That is a cute little rifle, and really quite modern in design

Hey Vitaly, funny how i can build that house in my sleep-but wouldn't know where to start with those guns and the mechanisms that make them work. You are a multi career chooser if you wanted!

[@STEINBVG]

Thanks. I would love to do it professionally. But I love medicine and psychiatry too, + it pays better. Shout keep the gun smithing as a hobby - for shits and giggles.

Hey man. Super cool. Is it the same Quackenbush that still makes the big bore air guns?

[@STEINBVG]

I know they have, but I am not familiar with their current production. Thanks

[@johnpannill4868]

Awesome video, surprisingly little resources on this little rifle. Just picked one up and realized from your disassembly that I’m missing the part you removed at 06:10. Could you fill me in on what exactly this part is and what function it serves?

[@STEINBVG]

It,s the firing pin rebounder - as i understood from reading somewhere: with it,s weaker than the main spring , it prevents firing pin from protruding ( for closing the bridge safely) I found the answer on rimfirecentral.com: somebody was missing the flat spring and rebounder: ‘since it's missing you also are certainly missing the rebounder. The early guns did not have this so the firing pin did not get pushed back after firing. The flat plate was a spring the was strong enough to push the firing pin back into the bolt by means of the rebounder, which was under it, but not strong enough to stop it when released from full cock, kind of like a rebounding hammer. Without it the firing pin protrudes from the breech block and rubs as the action is opened or closed unless you cock it first - which is not safe... and it was called the "Safety Rifle".

[@johnpannill4868]

@@STEINBVG awesome, thanks. I found a site that sells replacement parts online and ordered a rebounder (and grabbed a replacement firing pin just because) but now I guess I need to order the rebounder spring which makes sense now. But I do see on the rifle that there’s a grove to the right of the chamber that I’m fairly confident was from the factory, not a user modification or wear from opening and closing the breach with the firing pin protruding. So it sounds like the rifle should be safe to test fire with the right ammunition without the rebounder installed which is my main concern at the moment. So happy you have this video online, a great resource, thank you again.

Для его размера, наверное немного тяжелая. Но это старинная винтовка. Ни тебе пластика, ни тебе 3д. Но этой тяжести есть что то внушительное и надежное.

[@ivangabriel3472]

Why they stop making cheap and simple guns like this :(?

[@STEINBVG]

At the time it was made, perhaps. The modern technology now is cheaper to make a gun. This one was machined, perhaps hand fitted. It’s not cheap to make it this way any longer, when you have printing technologies, plastics, CNC etc. It is not financially feasible to do it. It,s a relic , like a Luger. Nobody in their right mind is mass producing those. Perhaps that,s why we love them even more?

[@ivangabriel3472]

@@STEINBVG well, i think there is a market for them still. I would buy one brand new with those technologies applied over an old concept like this!
