[@bhoward9378]

Looking forward to more videos when the time is right. Best regards.

[@sonnygunz9207]

That’s extremely impressive. Thanks for showing it.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Thanks for watching.

[@m.s.l.7746]

Looks like I made it here before Hickok45...he'll be along shortly I'm sure though...lol. Beautiful piece of history. Thanks for sharing...

[@DTDRIDER]

That tank in the intro is Badass! cool Winchester too.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Yes, I want to do a video on the Stuart M3 sometime. My brother-in-law has some cool toys. He has 2 other tanks in the works.

[@joeguzman3558]

i can tell your a very honest MAN ,God bless you and protect you and yoyr family always.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Thank you so much.

[@LegoLikeDaBlocks24]

I miss your video's Mr. Bell! Love your stuff!!

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

I have a bunch of review projects waiting in the shop. I have been very busy between family and working on the property. Loggers thinned the trees and I am working on getting things back in order, repairing roads and ditches and building new berms. I'll get started back on the videos in April. I'll be running an excavator for a week starting next week then we are off to Florida for a family vacation. When I get back I'll have 200 oak trees to plant and some grass seeds to spread. Then back to the reviews. I never knew being retired would be so busy. :o)

[@LegoLikeDaBlocks24]

Family always comes first! Take your time and come back whenever it is most reasonable for you! I wish you luck in your endeavors.

[@bhoward9378]

Glad to hear that you're doing well. I, too, have missed your videos. Have a fun and safe vacation, and successful spring sowing.

[@joeguzman3558]

THANK you for sharing the video

[@Instantphojo]

Thank you for sharing this video. What a wonderful rifle!

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Thanks for watching!

First and foremost, what youtube is doing to the 2nd Amendment or Conservative channels borders on criminal bias. The problem is they know they, for the most part, can do anything they want with total impunity. I know that any and all channels need to make sure they have backups of all of their videos because that is the only way they can archive what they have done because, if youtube deletes those videos, they are lost. We in the community learn much from all of your channels and we don't want to lose them. If you are putting your stuff on a different platform make sure you reference that platform in every one of your videos. Thanks for all that ya’ll do!

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

I have most of my videos saved. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the kind words.

[@fourthhorseman4531]

Hey Mike, where ya been? Miss your videos man!

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Life has been busy. Will get started back on the videos soon.

[@iamoption11]

Beautiful rifle

[@thebaddest2562]

That is sweet piece of hostory sir.

[@dsloop3907]

Where are you ? Missing your videos.....

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Taking a hiatus. spent winter and spring working on the property in my spare time and now it is blazing hot. KZbin has sliced the ad money on gun channels and I am waiting for it to cool down to get out and do more videos. I have a pile of projects to review.

[@dsloop3907]

I bet it is hottern hell out there. Have you looked at other channels for your vids?

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

No. I need to look into other channels/outlets.

[@bhoward9378]

You excel at explaining the elements that comprise the topics you discuss. I hope you will find a method and/or venue for broadcasting videos that operates in your favor.

[@b80-s9i]

Man Alive..perfect!!! I'd give 3 toes & 2 fingers(your choice) for that American Nectar...🇺🇸💪🏼🔫🏞 Thanks for showing this beauty! God Bless y'all

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Thanks for watching. It is a beauty!!

[@oovotzify]

They certainly don't make them like that anymore.

[@user-mt4vo4ey5n]

I appreciate the showing of this rifle very much. Not a bad creation for a sewing machine mechanic named Benjamin.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

It is a work of art.

[@Bayan1905]

Can I be in your Brother in Law's will? I will call him Daddy and everything.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Me first !!!!

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

Beautiful rifle, can you give us an idea what something like that goes for?

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

65k

[@mabs9503]

Very cool.

[@captjim007]

My grandpa that was born in 1893 worked at Winchester, he was a machinist/tool and die maker. He said they never tested any barrels for any of the Super Grade guns. He said all the barrels were accurate on all the guns. He said that was a rumor put out to get people to buy the more expensive guns. I don't know for sure but I would bet the same was true for the older 1 of 100/1000 guns.

[@regsparkes6507]

I do like lever action rifles, this one is a beautiful example. Also coincidentally , I just noticed that movie was on TCM so I recorded it to watch later,...now I'll do that this evening.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

We always watch old classic movies when we vacation with my wife's brother. This time we had the perfect old movie to watch, and an example of the "star" firearm. :o)

[@regsparkes6507]

Just finished watching this good ol' movie. There were a few classic rifles mentioned in this, weren't they? Anyway, enjoy your vacation. Cheers.

[@redtra236]

Why no videos recently?

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Major work on the property thru spring and into summer. Lining things up now to restart production. Lots of projects to review. New berms roads and ditches at the range.

[@ScotWalt858]

Very nice! Thanks

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Thanks for watching!

[@sonnygunz9207]

That’s an unbelievable rifle. It would be right at home in a museum. Personally though....I’d have to shoot it. I’ll let you know if it’s really a “shooter” or not Hahahaha.

[@henrysara7716]

Great video Michael

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Thanks for the visit

[@janivarsrvaag5137]

it s my favrithe rifle the 1873 this is one of the coolest i have seen tums upp

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Thanks for watching. Fun to have a close look at this historic rifle.

[@bhoward9378]

Beautiful rifle! (Did you sneak into your brother-in-law's safe to make this video? Don't answer...) Winchester '73 is a great movie. Kierkegaard was not a Great Dane.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

All understatements, especially the last. I consider myself a scientist.The irony is that modern science has become it's own religion and lost it's objectivity. It is not possible to isolate the subjective and objective in human existence.

[@BDPlock]

Mike how about one of your own collectables, A certain Brno ZKM 611 that briefly was shown in an old vid long ago. Nice old Winchester that you rarely see.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

I want to do a ZKM 611 video. It is on my list to do this winter.

[@sanamorim1024]

Oque eu faço pra comprar uma arma dessa.???

[@badpossum440]

Does it have 'one of one thousand' engraved on the rifle anywhere?

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Yes, watch the video. I have several up close pictures.

[@badpossum440]

@@MichaelBellmbell556 my mistake don't know how i missed that.

[@jander6442]

Did you get a chance to shoot it? I could have shown you a good spot around here.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

No. I will shoot it with my BIL if he volunteers, but I can't ask to shoot this rifle considering it's value. He did mention he may be willing to fire it. Believe me, I will do a video of it if we test fire it. It would be interesting to see how it groups 140 years after it was manufactured.

[@maxc1962]

There's no doubt this is a great find and a very nice piece but the "One of a thousand" was just a "marketing campaign" to sell more firearms.

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

It ended up hurting their marketing.

[@donut3110]

Will you be moving to Full30? Small Arms Solutions/Chris Bartocci just got his KZbin account permanently banned. And I would hate to lose you too... No homo

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

still looking at options.

[@jimdent351]

Sweet, sweet cherry pie!

[@MichaelBellmbell556]

Oh yes!!!
