Back before modern computers I read a story more like a guide but not, of a man who had built his own lathe and knew metallurgy and had a blacksmith shop. He wanted to build a Mans Rifle curly maple stock, half octagon half round with a double wedding ring one inch at the muzzle 1 1/2 at the breach barrel with 1137 GBQ steel ,flint lock color case hardened, all steel hardware for the working man. It was not a show piece, .62 caliber patched ball rifle had 113 inch left hand twist, made his own rifling tools and did cut rifling rather than button rifling ,He wanted that extra measure of accuracy you can achieve with cut ,this was back before I was born and I'm 69 now, he made custom guns made his own fasteners (screws and nuts) about 2 to 3 guns a year this was going to be his own hunting rifle. He had made an error and over polished the bore and could not get even good accuracy the bore had a mirror shine to it and recorded the phrase that "it shot slick" so he plugged the bore after filling with his urine and let sit over night, next day he emptied it and dried it and reinstalled it, perfect accuracy .
Brilliant job sir,, with a bit of care its nice to think that in a few hundred years something you have created will still be giving pleasure to others. Well done sir. 👏👏👏
This is the most amazing gun making video I ever saw. Your work on this is incredibly inspiring. Most people didn’t understand how much effort it is to make such a masterpiece.
This is the best video I have ever seen on TH-cam. Normally I don't like the music most channels play but your music is fantastic and fits the video perfectly. Wish I wasn't too old to tackle a gun like this. Beautiful and so much hard work. Thank you Sir.
Your rifle is the most beautiful pice of art that i jVe ever seen. You sir have a gift. The craftsmanship that yoh oht jnto this rifle is out of this world. Thank you for bringing us along and showing us this marvelous wonder. I enjoyed tjis very much.
@SharekGadd you're very welcome. I couldn't even begin to make something like that. Much less make it the beautiful. Can't wait to see a video of you firing it.
You changed trauma and turmoil into ingenuity and artistry .My life was similar, the pleasure was got from making and using also braking and repair ,long my you continue 💪🏼.
Yup, great job. Love the trigger guard and folk art touches. Got that Old Soddy vibe perfectly. Need a follow up to show the shootin'. Oh and I did take a nap in the middle. Happens on a lot of vids. The music on this one did it.
Have a .45 cal Pennsylvania long rifle, Flint , was gifted to me by an old friend it's about 20 % finished..your video gave me lots of tips ..Thank you .. all I need is patience, patience, and just a little patience. THANK YOU AGAIN SIR
I would have loved to see how you mounted your front and rear sights. Did you mount a tang site or a barrel sight? what twist rate did you use? A beautiful work of art! Thank you for posting this!
I love this video. I have built a few southern mountain rifles. Fond of 40 cal and 54 cal. Sure would like to find the background music. See lots of original guns and no two are the same. They each have a personality and a soul.
Love it! I have cheated before, as I have built from Kits. I knew how much work and tools were needed. Mine are not a beautiful as the Hand Crafted, but I am proud to not have ham fisted the builds. It is Knowledge and Craftsmanship that makes a work of American Art. Bravo, to this builder, Craftsman.
I ordered and built a 45-caliber Hawkin black powder rifle back in 1968, I always considered it a pretty good-looking project, until I saw this video, magnificent workmanship, indeed well-done sir.
Well done! I built a Lancaster 54 Cal years ago...still shoot it at the shoots and have harvested many deer & bear with the Ol'smoke pole. Watching this is inspiring me to build another! Thank you and earned a Sub from me!
Stunning work Sharek Gadd... not too sure about taking naps, you sir, are skilled with modesty. Please do tell us what the music is, the guitar is absorbing!
A beautiful piece of functional art. Thank you for posting this, I love making my own things and watching others who enjoy their skills, also very nice editing and sound track.
Beautiful music, beautiful craftsmanship and a beautiful rifle. Subscribed! Can’t wait to see her shoot! I just received my first Jim Kibler Woodsrunner rifle kit and, although my skills are not close to yours, I can’t wait to build it. Thank you for sharing your work in such a beautiful way with us.
Such a sweet looking rifle. I love all the little touches you made. The flowers in the toe plate and trigger guard. Beautiful wood and very cool design. I’d love to have something like this. Exceptional job.
Nice work! It reminds me of a Vietnamese I saw some time ago, making a violin at home. He had never made one before, nor could he play it, but it looked very real!
Inletting the stock for the barrel looks difficult. Can I just tie the barrel to a sapling & let it grow around it, then cut the tree down & trim to shape?
To say I'm impressed is an understatement. All the work you put into that rifle, no wonder it'd be worth a lot of money. Too bad there wasn't any footage of the rifle being fired. I would seriously presume the kind of power and accuracy this gun would deliver has got to match the superior craftsmanship you put into it. Congratulations on creating such a magnificent firearm. Take it back in time to 1846 and General Santa Anna would only have this rifle to fear above all others.
Thank you for your kind assessment! I agree, hopefully, this summer I’ll have an opportunity to prove it and finally put my mark on its barrel. Thank you for watching and engaging. Sharek
As all the other comments say - WELL DONE. The skills you have in each different trade that it took to build that rifle are extensive to get to that skill level. My dad was a die maker and I was going to follow in his footsteps and be a die maker/machinist too. After I had a couple of jobs in that direction I decided I liked working with wood better. So I started with doing construction work and transitioned into being a cabinet maker. So, I have some experience in the skills you have, but no where near your skill level. The wood work I could do, no problem, but the machining of the metal and the forging etc I couldn't begin to come close to your quality. Maybe I could learn, but it would take me some effort to get to where you're at. All that is to say that from my own knowlege and experiences I can appreciate the skills you have to build such a beautiful piece of art. Again well done
Thank you Don, I appreciate your words and your assessment. As you know, it all comes down to the number of hours spent at any one thing; I’ve just been at a lot of different things for most of my life.
Thank you! Aqua fortis is for attaining an amber color to the stock. That color comes from the iron dissolved in the acid. Heat applied to the solution brings the dissolved iron out of solution and into the grain of the stock. Linseed oil sets the color in the grain. Further coats of linseed oil preserves the color. Any kind of stain on wood is applied before any oils or finishes. That’s kind of an old rule; otherwise, your stain would be trapped or blended in the finish…or just muddied. Any scratch or wear upon the finish would reveal your “white” wood. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for asking! Sharek
I’d like to make the York with it but I’m not sure that’ll be an option with the work I’ve got going on right now. I do miss going to that show, although I never made enough off the table to cover any of the costs.
Yes it is! There’s a particular kind of shooting sport that originated in that area in the late 1800’s. Long barrelled cap and flint target rifles stocked in various woods. Over time, some characteristic qualities developed; notably, the stocks started losing the traditional drop, barrels lengthened and got heavier… Today, it’s known as chunk gun shooting or over the log matches. You lay down to shoot these rifles, propping, the barrel on a “chunk” of wood or a small log. The range is generally around sixty yards with three warm up shots, followed by 10 individual shots fired at ten individual slips of paper. These are scored closest to the cent of the “x” and prizes are awarded for closest x as well as the ten shot aggregate. There’s a modern match dedicated to this hobby, held every March in Pall Mall, TN. It’s called the Seargent Alvin York Memorial Match and it takes place on the former property of said Medal of Honor recipient. Awards are generally fresh cuts of pork, winners choice, butchered on site.
One of the most satisfying gun builds I have ever watched. Perfect imperfection! An amazing example of hand craft. Your gun would fit in well at the annual Sgt. York Shoot. Thank you.
I have not seen such a beautiful and accurate work for a long time. Question: Why did you not sign your art? I do not see any stamping or signature. Did you fire her?
Thank you Michael, I have not engraved it yet as I haven’t had a chance to develop its load or fire it. I’m in a position now to do that, and will probably let her bark sometime this summer. Thanks for watching and engaging! Sharek
I did not make the barrel. It was made by a man named Ed Rayl. It’s a .50 with 49” of rifling. The twist is slow. If I remember correctly it’s somewhere around 3 -4 by 12. It’s been several years since I ordered it.
Ferric nitrate and sawdust followed by bleach and heat. Fairly standard in the group I run with. After applying liberal coats of oil, it leaves a nice matt black finish for competition.
Beautiful rifle, but I have a question. Why such a small caliber in such a huge barrel? A .50 caliber can easily be produced in a 7/8" flat to flat barrel. Much lighter.
Your statement is true, but this is a target rifle, specifically built after and for what’s called, Chunk Gun or Chunk Gun Shooting - sometimes called and Over the Log Match. It’s history weaves down into Pall Mall Tennessee around the 1880’s into the 1930’s and up into today. th-cam.com/video/cTjPZZgxfG8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=N3YIzXMERb4w1Peq Thanks for watching and engaging.

Wow that is outstanding sir it's more than beautiful they labor and love you put in to her touches my heart god bless you sir I wish I was 20 again and labored for you to learn how much are they
My grandfather and I made one with a flint lock instead of cap. Your's is much better. We purchased cast brass parts for butt plate and trigger guard and the loch mechanism. We had to fit it. I really enjoyed the finished product. Your's belongs in a museum. 🙂
That’s one crazy long tang to inlet lol, Rifle looks amazing! I like everything about it. work of art. I hope to make a left hand flintlock of such quality someday soon

@@joestewart6319 the Foxfire books would be a good start, one of them devotes several chapters to old time gunmakers.

Beautiful job. A narrative would be helpful. The producer of this video should write a book!
My hats off to the builder, I don’t have the patience for this kind of build
I've run out of superlatives to describe this magnificent rifle and the workmanship of the builder. Simple design perfectly executed!!
Thank you, sir.
Yup, great job. Love the trigger guard and folk art touches. Got that Old Soddy vibe perfectly. Need a follow up to show the shootin'.
Oh and I did take a nap in the middle. Happens on a lot of vids. The music on this one did it.
Thank you!
Oh, my, my... This much details work.. you are truly a dedicated person..
Thank you sir!
Sir, you are an artist. A very good one. Absolutely great video, and great music. I was hooked from the start.

Man, I'm not usually a fan of the burnt wood asthetic, but on this it rifle it actually looks *really* good! You did an amazing job man!
Thanks!
The trick, like most things in life, is moderation. When styles are over done they are just tacky.

It captivated me from start to finish, just wondered why there was no Brass used for the guns furniture?
It’s inspiration is from a regional style of rifles in the late 19th century that had all iron furniture. Thanks for watch in engaging!
I have a 50 cal Hawkins kit, and the matching pistol, that I bought in the 70s and never finished. I am inspired to get after it now.
It’s a great hobby!

Amazing hand work and the extended barrel tang is one of the many unique features this rifle has!
Amazing traditional work on this old rifle, the color of the wood is gorgeous

Inletting the stock for the barrel looks difficult. Can I just tie the barrel to a sapling & let it grow around it, then cut the tree down & trim to shape?
For those interested,see a 1969 video called Gunsmith of Williamsburg; will leave you awe struck.Not to take anything away from this remarkable video.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement. All the work you put into that rifle, no wonder it'd be worth a lot of money.

This is such beautiful work!!! The music was really good also! Who plays the music, and where might I find it?
a fine piece of engineering, is it a door stop or dose it go bang
It’s made to go bang. For the moment, life is in the way of one of those go bang videos. It’ll happen.
Wow! A hell of a job! I wonder why did you apply "aqua fortis" to the stock before the linseed oil?
Thank you! Aqua fortis is for attaining an amber color to the stock. That color comes from the iron dissolved in the acid. Heat applied to the solution brings the dissolved iron out of solution and into the grain of the stock. Linseed oil sets the color in the grain. Further coats of linseed oil preserves the color.

Beautiful Rifle but it looks chunky. I bet he could make a very graceful rifle in the southern style. Would love to see one.
Full stock, iron furniture. checks all the boxes. Beautiful work. A .030 caliber little sister would check one more box.
Beautiful enough even a English collector would be jealous. I envy your craftsmanship more.
How does it shoot?
It shoots very well, after a trial of testing loads and a volume of rounds fired.
One of the most satisfying gun builds I have ever watched. Perfect imperfection! An amazing example of hand craft. Your gun would fit in well at the annual Sgt. York Shoot. Thank you.
Thank you!
Nice work, congrats
Thank you! Cheers!

Question: Why did you not sign your art? I do not see any stamping or signature.
Did you fire her?

Beautiful Rifle!
Thank you!
Great work. But how did you finish the metelwork? Dont look blued ?
Ferric nitrate and sawdust followed by bleach and heat. Fairly standard in the group I run with. After applying liberal coats of oil, it leaves a nice matt black finish for competition.
@@SharekGadd Thank for that. It looks superb.
Just incredible work on a stunning rifle. Hope to see it being fired too!
