Hi, I am 71, live in New Zealand and have the same shotgun, my shotgun was brought out to NZ around 1920s by a young American boy who had a job offer on a South Island farm. He spent the rest of his life on this large farm, I managed to buy the gun for 60.00 nz dollars after his death from old age. I will always keep it. Your grandad would be proud of you for putting the time and effort in the restoration of his gun. Good skills and great work. ....Barry Nz
I love that you didn’t make it look like some recreation of the original rifle. It looks like an old gun, and that’s the best thing about it. Beautiful restoration.
I have an old Ivers-Johnson that belonged to my Grandfather. Made in the early 60’s, it’s in good shape, still has a strong spring in the hammer. Enjoyed your video, especially the woodworking.
I once did a similar restoration and finished it off by painting the entire single shot shotgun with Rustolium Olive Drab Paint. Yes, It is ugly as sin, but still knocks the squirrels out of the trees. I'll give you FIVE STARS+++++ on your works. Dang Good Job!!!!!!
What a very nice project. It looks great and I'm sure it would shoot too. The hand checkering looks good as well. You need to invest in some checkering tools and make the checkering even finer. Thumbs Up!
Attic? Looks like it was found buried in the yard. I got a Savage Stevens single shot 20 gauge for my 12th birthday in 1972. Still looks like the day I opened it.
Never seen a Iver Johnson 1909 with birch wood before . All mine from late 1800s through 1968 was walnut. Guess there's a first for everything . Good job .
Good job. Im sure your grand father would be proud of you. The stock looks great. If it were mine, id cut the barrel down to 18 inches and thread it so it could take chokes. Id also put a glow sight on the barrel.
Cool! I have one from 1902 (ish) (01 & 02 Ptd dates) in good shootable condition except for a cracked butt stock, which I'm considering making a new one from some walnut I have on hand.
Great job! I would have liked to see how you filled the hole in the underside of the barrel? Please advise how you did that? Greetings from South Africa
Hi, love your videos! So useful and helpful! 💪🙌 Btw Is there a way where i can reach out to you? I need to ask some questions about some items i found.. Thanks!
Very incredibly work!. I have my granfathers 20 guage and it is identical to yours. Very same design but mine was made in 1913 by MwcMenders out of oak leaf new york. What is that product you blue that with?

I just had my grandfathers Iver Jonson restored, fully operational condition. Love the etching on the stock and stain.
This guy is a gun smith extraodinaire. Fantastic, unbelievable work. Thank you for posting.
One of the best videos on the internet by far. Beautiful work.
Congratulations!!! He sent the restoration very well, it was top!!
Great job! I'm getting ready to work on a Reminton model 11 thats been past down for generations. It's put food on tables for 100 plus years.
Прекрасно, Петрович! Отлично, Филиппыч! Браво, Иваныч!
I have my grandfathers Iver Johnson in 20 gauge. Good job! They are famous for the stock cracking. Cheers
Pleasure to watch a man, who know what he is doing. Great job❤
I have one of these that belonged to my Grandfather. I did a little bit of maintenance on it and shot it a couple times. Awesome job

Nice looking finished project, I have a champion as well, it has a dark brown rust patina! 410 Guage, fun little gun!
Very cool
I love seeing new life breathed into old "junk"
It can not come back to life until it is capable of being fired. Otherwise, it's just a nice ornament.
Old single shots are amazing in their simplicity and history
Such a nice job,you are quite the craftsman
Looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Excellent restoration Bro, Theo got beautiful.
You have given it a new lease of life , excellent refurbishment in my opinion, Su
Хорошо обновил старичка- похожего на ИЖ номер 5. Удачи!
Спасибо друг! ) Ижи копировали с этой модели)

Wow, a beautiful restoration. Thank for for preserving this rare gun. I loved how you used the old stock instead of making a new one.
He did make a new butstock & handguard. What video were you watching?
When the test is open book and still somebody fails.
He did make a new one. Are you hallucinating?
Lol😂
Beautifully done!

Very good video! nice restoration!🤝🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beatiful job, done with love and respect
You're an artist!
I just restored the same gun in 16 gauge I like yours much better! Good job
My dad has an old Iver Johnson "Champion" .410 that he inherited from his grandfather.
The "notches" on firearms stocks is called "checkering".
Beautiful job. Thank you
May god do such a job! Well done guys!

he made it impossible to fire,sadly he drilled a hole in the barrel.
Good job on your restoration. I really liked how you used a hacksaw blade to checker the wood stock. Very nicely done.
Wonderful work, it was to test at the end giving a shot. one two three and fire 🔥
Nice restoration. Congrats.

What is that product you blue that with?
I built a stock for my dads. His is a southern arms, but it looks the same. He got it for $50.
It would be nice without the music.
The wood job and protecting the viewers eyes while welding, deserved a like. 👍
Nice
