That's amazing. Unfortunately as a poor country gunsmith i couldn't afford to regulate one let alone build one for myself. Maybe one day i can try if so would love to have some advice. Im thinking thinking a 500/450
Great video series! I can't find part 1. Did this start as a shotgun? Did you have to modify the firing pins and protrusion holes for centrefire cartridge primers?
He probably left it out intentionally. Yes shotguns are used but normally ones with a three point locking system for strength like European or English made doubles. Sometimes you have to bush the firing pins to prevent primers flowing back into the shotgun pin size holes. The .375 isn't that hot of a round so you might get by without doing it.
While I saw you wearing gloves you really need a resperator when you are carding or working with caustic chemicals. That stuff can eat your lungs out. It is weird how chemical plating works. You have to nickel plate before the gold will stick. The case just sets everything off. Great job on the gun. You can be proud very proud. From the USA...
Very nice!!! Would it be possible to build a combonation rifle/shotgun?? 12 guage shotgun barrel on say the left and 7,62x39 on the right.double triggers with the back trigger firing the 7,63x39..??
Yes this would be possible But I wouldn't build it in 7.62x39 1. Its a rimless case and causes a hassle with extraction 2. I believe 30/30,30/40 or 303 British would be a better choice Also most SxS shotguns the back trigger fires the left barrel
@@roddflowergunsmithing5576 thanks for the reply..i understand the problem with 7,62x39 and i,ve been thinking that 30-30 would be a good choice if i handloaded them. I pretty much live in the woods and try to make my living there.it would be very handy to have a combo gun.
Final point: if you want a rifle that weighs less than 10lbs (and in this case the 375NE calls for an 8lb rifle) don't start with a 12ga! That's why he had to use such a wide rib and wedge, and heavy barrels to boot! I bet that rifle weighs 15lb! And shotgun actions won't handle the more powerful nitro cartridges, so don't even try. An unmodified shotgun action is designed to withstand 15000 psi. Rifle cartridges start around 35000 and go up to 65000. Yes, there is less back-thrust from a smaller dia ctg but even so, stick to black powder type ctgs, eg the 45-70 (32,000 psi) or. as in this case, the "mild" nitro-for-black loadings. Even the "modest" 9.3x74R is too much (around 50,000 psi) for a shotgun action, and don't go near the 375 H&H. The Brit ctgs are lower pressure but even the 450-400 is a 40,000 psi ctg.
you don't have to slather on the rusting solution, a fine wipe with a cotton ball is all it takes. slathering it on takes the black rust off. double rust good for first cycle, after that one coating and sparing, avoid runs! hand carding with de-oiled 0000 steel wool not as harsh. then you only need 6 cycles and will get a finer finish.
Lol it seems he knows exactly what he should and shouldn't do with the mix he uses. If you don't believe me watch the video of the end product. I'm a gunsmith myself but know we're near as good as this man. Who am I or you to tell him anything but thank you for letting us see your craftsmanship
That may be the case with Slow Rust Bluing but defiantly not with Express Bluing Have been doing this process for a long time and get perfect results I Express blue up to 10 sets of barrels per week I can assure you it works
300 savage is rimless, not a good choice. Video poster built a rimless double and he's onto version 4 of the extractor. Never again he says. 303 british is close in performance and is rimmed... And if .312 projectile availability is a problem, build it as a .30-303.
supper gut
All your videos are very interesting, thanks for sharing the process. You are a fine craftsman and end result is very easy on the eye, well done mate.

You are truly a craftsman! Very nice and very impressive.

What solution do you use when you rust blue?
Beuatiful work and a great caliber!
I’m probably too late to this video but I was just curious. Do you build those mono blocks? Or can a guy buy them somewhere? Thanks!
What calibre was that..🤔🤔🤔
for those who value their digits and eyeballs, heavy rubber gloves and goggles around boiling chemicals please!

True.
First of all it is not a 12g shotgun it started as a 16g (smaller action)
finished gun weighs 8 lb 5 oz
What velocity you getting on that load? :)
What is the blueing solution being used ? Thanks !
Its a solution I make myself
Nitric/Hydrochloric/Iron filings
