  • With the right tools, and a little bit of time, re-assembly of a sidelock is a pretty straightforward process. Watch along as Jack Rowe and Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, re-assemble the sidelock of an old double.

    What a master craftsman that needs no notes to remember so much intricate information. I guess knowing Larry, we wouldn't expect him to have anyone less on his most excellent instructional videos.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the series with Jack.I appreciate your bringing this Master to your shop to instruct us all Larry. I also thank you for allowing him to have complete control of the instruction and your sitting back and watching him at his craft. It was refreshingly respectful,not something you don't see much these days. Thank you Jack,not very many people devote their life to a craft and master it. You are an inspiration and role model for young gunsmiths everywhere.

    I was trained by Masters such as Gentleman Jack Rowe, their skill and knowledge leaves you in awe. Their tools mostly are hand made, but their priceless and to be trained by one is such a privelidge. Loved the video, i never tire of watching a Master.

    When you look at history you see just how much both clock making and gunsmithing gave the engineering world without the use of machinery. You could drop Jack or Larry into the 18th century and they could still practice their skills. Having absolutely no engineering skills myself I could ( and do ) watch their art enviously for hours. Well done Larry, keep making the videos.

    For all those worried about how he handles the gun and the state of his tools just remember this guy probably did a 7 year apprenticeship started at 14/15 years old and then worked decades in the trade. I think he knows what he is doing by now.
    I did the same thing at James Purdey and sons and worked there for 30 years. 7 year apprenticeship and then ten years after that the old guys might start to accept that you had some knowledge and might actually listen to something you say.

    This was great Larry. It was a true pleasure to watch Jack work. He is obviously a man who has many, many decades of skill and knowledge. It's always a good day when you can be informed by an individual who learned from the masters in whatever field we happen to be talking about. Jack is a true perfectionist at what he does, and you can tell that by the detail, and how well he knows his way around this shotgun. I only hope that Jack has passed on what he has learned to someone who has as much pride and attention to detail as he does. I also hope that you have found a younger individual to pass along all the in and outs to gunsmithing that you have learned over the years. We each must do our part to ensure that the art of gunsmithing remains alive and well after we've all moved on. Great video, and thanks for bringing Jack to us all, it was a real treat.

I don't know how I ever managed it, but I did.

  • @caveymoley
    @caveymoley 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why must the front and rear (or left and right trigger) be that particular way round...Why can't they be switched so the right trigger is also the rear trigger? So as to be able to slide the trigger finger from front to back (or left to right) in one smooth transitional "stroking" motion, the same way you can if you shoot left handed.

    • @453421abcdefg12345
      @453421abcdefg12345 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +caveymoley . The reason for the triggers being this way round is that the front trigger, on the right hand side, fires the right hand barrel ,which is the open choke, and the rear trigger, on the left hand side, fires the more tightly choked left hand barrel. I hope this makes sense.

      I couldn't tell if it was just the lighting, or if the tips were really as worn as they looked. Because yes, more than one appear to be in absolutely awful condition - more like dull chisels than screwdrivers. Not sure what to make of it.

    • @kenaston4220
      @kenaston4220 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The slots in gun screws are very narrow, (external ones) so a normal screwdriver won't fit in the slot. Hollow ground screwdriver tips are best I think. Jack's screwdrivers do look very wedge shaped but I guess they do actually fit the screw slots very well.

    • @RockfordOrdnance
      @RockfordOrdnance 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      These English masters call them "Turn Screws" not screwdrivers. Jack makes them himself out of spring steel. I believe there are only two standard english slot sizes for external screws. They may look worn but in fact the look is more home made and they fit perfectly. I believe Larry has a video with Jack showing how he makes his "turn screws".

      When you work with something for decades you know what you can and can’t do. English gunmakers make their own tools by hand normally when they finish their apprenticeship. We call them turn screws not screwdrivers and you make different turnsrews to fit different pins.
