Same here from a retired musical instrument repair tech, 50 years experience. There is only one way to learn, and that is by doing. Crossing the edge teaches you the boundary is. But .... It matters to few.
Amen, Brothers. Loved the trade starting in 1971. Turning dials and making chips. Didn't start pushing the green button till the 90's. Love watching you tubers teach people how to single point a thread, or comments on how inaccurate a southbend is. Did we all notice the grumpy old guy had no safety glasses on?
Yea. As a younger man I earned a degree in CNC machine tool and welding. In this I've been able and fortunate enough to work at a couple of machine shop manufacturing type facilities. In about 5 years total experience I became a really decent CNC set up operator proficient on several different machines. I loved every minute of that and gave the absolute best of myself every day.
As a very proud owner of four Galazan shotguns 2 RBL (28&20 Ga,) an A10 with a 2-barrel set, (20 & 12 ga.) and a new at the time Inverness 20ga. (serial # of 204) I shot the RBL (28) in one tournament and placed quite well. The A10 is probably one of best and most outstanding shotguns I have ever shot. I sent it back and had a 20ga. barrel matched to the receiver and with this combination I won my first Gold Medal in the Police Western States Police Olympics with a 97 score. Due disabilities I stepped away from competition shooting some years ago and sold all but 1 of my Galazan shotguns, keeping the unfired 20ga. Inverness shotgun to remember my several years on competition shooting. It is a lifetime gun believe me.
English walnut is grafted onto American because the American walnut is more resilient but the English walnuts taste better. Growing up my neighbor had a walnut orchard I learned about this.
Wow, this was eye watering, and I'm not even interested in guns. The sheer amount of knowledge, pride and passion in that place is something to behold. The workshops are nothing short of amazing! Thanks TGS!
One line of their shotguns was not covered and that was the top of the line Galazan sidelock o/u and sxs. Pinless sidelocks hand made each one a one off. maybe 20- made a year. I own several of Tony's guns. and have known Tony and Lou for many years. Quality products. The retail shop is open Thursday , Fri, Sat. Best to check before making the drive. The Facility is one of the old Stanley tool factories.
Totally bad ASS! It broke my heart when said people walked by their beautiful hardwood and case hardened metal hand made artisan guns to go buy plastic glocks. But i do understand, not everyone needs a top of the line heirloom piece. Sometimes they just want a glock to shove into their waistband.
Connecticut was famous for its manufacturing, Remington, Colt, Winchester, Henry and more. Brass in Waterbury. Sikorsky, Pratt and Whitney, Electric Boat, and GE before our fool of a Governor ran them out. NSSF which puts on SHOT show is HQed in CT. I love old guns that say Connecticut on them and appreciate that CSMC is still making them here when everyone else has outsourced.
Excellent tour. Good questions brought out some of the soul of the ‘operation’. Really satisfying to see things being made in this way with mix of machines and handcrafting.
Outstanding. It is such a pleasure for me to see a gun being made. The section on the soldering of the side by side barrels was fantastic, such attention to detail as it has to be. Looks like a fantastic place to look at and visit. Truly a good job JC and Co. Cheers and keep up the good work!
Great company, great story, great video. These people understand the markets and the importance of being able to deliver high quality products into several at the same time. Thanks for putting them on the radar.
Johnny, this is one of your most interesting videos and interesting to find such in USA...I watched you change in your approach as video progressed as the English have always been regarded as some of the finest gun artisans...Apparently you found another!
This is the best walk through I have ever seen!!! This owner is so knowledgeable about everything is so wonderful. Keep up the great job Gun Factory!!!
Been selling Industrial Tools for over forty two years as well as Shooting Shotguns. LOVED this video. I sell the Eldorado / Drill Master Gun Drills to a few of my customers as well. John is a great guy..! I WISH I could get one of these SPECTACULAR Clay's Guns..! WOW...! 😳
I've been an admirer of firearms since I was a kid. When I became old enough to buy firearms, I started with the cheap affordable guns. As I have gotten older, my tastes have changed and I can appreciate a nice, well made wood stock shotgun/ rifle.
that is the coolest manufacturing place I have ever seen. I mean everyone looks like they are having a super chill time, most people there did not look like they were at work, they were just hangin out with their mates, how cool
As a resident of CT and an owner of a SMI color case hardened 1911, I am so excited to see how amazing this company is. I hope to be able to purchase more from this American Heritage of a company.
this is why i love living in North Carolina i can walk out back and shoot many guns as i want and im betting a pistol i own was made right here in this factory :)
I live in Connecticut, and go to church with Tony Galazan. His shotguns are truly the best in the US, not just in function, but in the sheer beauty of them.
Pretty incredible and eccentric factory. Clearly not how modern factories are set up but this is one way to keep alive traditional and niche crafts while managing to keep the lights on!
That’s a very smart company director building high and handmade firearms worth tens of thousands of dollars then also realising that they have to cater to the consumer market and do well in that space as well to keep his workers in a job and his machines running
Let me tell you something Johnny a friend of mine has 3 of these Connecticut shotgun over and unders and they are not cheap and so beautiful love them.
I was not aware Connecticut Shotgun was scratch building their own doubles and over/unders. I thought they rebuilt and refurbished the guns of other makers. Nor was I aware they built all their different brands in house. This is a very informative video.
Yea. I have a degree in CNC machine tool and welding. In my working life I have had a couple chances to utilize it and be able to work at a couple of machine shop manufacturing type facilities. In doing so I actually became a really decent CNC set up operator. For me I'd say getting to work at this place would be about a dream come true. I love doing machine shop work. It requires a lot of thought and even more hard won knowledge. There's no fake it to make it when getting such a job. Either you know what you're doing or you don't. I do and would rock a place like this.
That was soo cool. Thanks for your interviewing . The owner won me over to buy his products. He is a John Browning of our current times. I love his sincerity . I’m gonnna give him my BUSSINESS,.I would like to have a beer with him and Would be Honored to work for him.
They have came a long way! I was introduced to the factory/shop in the late eighties .small compared to todays location. The galazan was just in the making and service work was a main stream as well. Well done gents!!
I've fired one of their 12 gauge SXS models. I don't remember which model (it was about 10 years ago) but, i will never forget the sound of the lock up, the balance, and the solid and satisfying punch of the recoil. They truly are functional works of art.
Now that's a Great American gun maker. Im not American but Northern Irish/ British...but really respect the tradition, engineering prowess and workmanship. If i may respectfully say if you as Americans don't support your indigenous makers and buy too much foreign... well... everything . Then you will see those makers go to the wall at home , you will ultimately seriously regret it. Buying local or made in the USA supports your area, friends , families and ultimately yourselves. This company is doing it all and their lower priced products are affordable and parts id presume aren't an issue as they do it all in house. They have obviously impressed me from the start to finish of this factory tour. Well done 👍
I bought an original Model 21, Tournament Skeet from the Connecticut Arms. It was original and in fine condition, I was able to get a verified letter from The Cody museum; the custodian of surviving Winchester records. These are honest preservationists. Their new firearms are superb; I have seen their best in hand and the products are exactly that.
In addition to his rifles, Teddy Roosevelt also took along a 12 gauge Fox side by side, of which he said, “No better gun was made.” There are many nice Foxes on the secondary market, many responsibly priced. If you’d like a new, custom-made one (and have escaped the current economic problems) take a look at the Foxes being made by Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company, but be prepared for some sticker shock.
Thank you for putting this out their those were some of the most beautiful firearms I’ve ever seen. When I heard 25k for a 22lr that is only made at a rate of 2 a year I knew this company was amazing
well, as far as we know, Galazan himself (Galazyan is an Armenian from the USSR) said that only a Slav can take off one or two hundredths of a millimeter with his hands.That's why he has a lot of Russians working for him.
That guy just casually mentioned, "We make a Damascus wheel gun..." I'm like, now just wait a second there!! What?!?! I wanna' see that right this instant!! Truly a fascinating facility and collection of master craftsmen. Couple with that the business smarts to keep this place running and innovating all the time and you have a world-class factory with no comparison. The diversity of products alone is impressive. But to see the attitude around what they make and how they clearly value quality over anything else is a pleasure to see. I hope some day to visit this amazing place. No doubt, the "Willy-Wonka for adults" reference is spot-on!
Whereas I have plastic fantastic, I still appreciate older, historical firearms! I love lever action rifles, single action revolvers, & every firearm! My next is a bolt action 6.5.
A wonderful insight into an American gun maker with a dizzying amount of variation - thank you very much for the superb content, as always! I really want one of those model 21 .22 double rifles now (perhaps in .17 WSM)!!
Awesome video!! New found respect for this company. I'm still new to firearms, living in a less than privileged state. I don't hear gun tubers, where I get most of my consumer info. from, talking about this company. I'm a new fan of Lou too, i like they way he thinks. I'll be looking over their offerings for future purchases. I can't afford the expensive stuff but good to know they have something for the average enthusiasts
Johnny, this is one of the most interesting videos...I wish there had been a better description of the G1 with regard to similarity comparison to the K80
Connecticut is part of the historic center of firearms manufacturing in the US and I am glad to see the tradition is being kept alive. I own a Revelation and love the true charcoal color case hardening. It’s a US made O/U that’s competitive with the mainstream price imports like the Beretta 686, but much nicer in my opinion. I think a lot of people looked askance at the DP12, etc. but I see his point about getting attention for the company. Maybe some of those folks will decide to get a Savage-Fox or Revelation.
@@georgegeorgiev2610 I did not, but I wrote to CSMC to get the full stock dimensions first, which are typical. I like it, the gun is handsome and well made. There is a review of it in Shooting Sportsman you can probably find online. It is quite light, I mostly shoot targets so it’s not ideal for that. I may send it back to have a recoil pad put on, which CSMC does for a nominal fee, to help with recoil and length. Those can be an issue with target shooting, less so with hunting. For a hunter I believe it would be just about ideal.
I've had two of their guns, a 20 gauge Fox CE grade, #3 of the first ones. A custom made 20 gauge Model 21 -1 with 20 and 28 gauge 30" barrels. Sorry to say I sold both.
Great film as usual. But honestly ‘is this where you come to rub the wood - is there a lock on the door?’ 🤣🤣🤣. Couldn’t decide whether he was happy you were visiting or not!
A great video. I spent most of my time thinking. I want one of those, oh, and one of those. Ooo one of those. Wow, I'd love one of those. Pity they are not for sale in the UK
Que interesante y bello recorrido adentro de la fábrica de armas en E. U. en este caso en la fábrica de escopetas Galazan, nos dieron una muy buena explicación de como se hace cada pieza y en general como se fabrican las armas, que por cierto son hermosas, son de colección..!! Que buen documental y recorrido me gusto mucho..!! Excelente video TGS Outdoors..!!
That was bl00dy interesting! So much innovation and thinking outside the box. I wasn't surprised to hear that people walked past his wonderful traditional shotguns at Shot Show, hand crafted shotguns are a British and European thing.
Lou, the manager, seems like a really nice guy. The factory looks a bit haphazard, but they obviously know what they're doing making guns. Having a broad range of types and quality is a good strategy for covering the market.
Agree! Especially when compared to the Beretta factory. I guess what is important is the quality of the parts being produced and their final integration into the overall firearm.
The single trigger Winchester 21 is by far the best American made ( no longer made ), but standard makes excellent quality firearms .It's great to make custom special requests, I wish I could afford to have them make me a side by side in 12 gage single trigger in 22 inches barrel
Proud to be a 40 year experienced machinist and see others take pride in what they do automatically.

That’s really cool I didn’t know that I have a few American walnut trees
We had a walnut tree in our front yard (Conn.) growing up. I'll never forget the unique smell the pods had-
It was for nuts not wood we had these trees all around us in California
Pretty much every grape vine in Europe is grafted onto American rootstock because of disease resistance.
Yeah but the Galazan guy said it was for the wood.
Wow, this was eye watering, and I'm not even interested in guns. The sheer amount of knowledge, pride and passion in that place is something to behold. The workshops are nothing short of amazing! Thanks TGS!
Then keep digging!!! If you had fun with this try picking up a real gun???
Everyone who a gun nut has been in your place!!!
Guns are sort of precision instruments...so they're precision instrument makers, much like watchmakers.

I NEED to go there! I've never heard of them and I live like 20 mins away. I hope someday I can.
absolutely love the hidden fasteners on the scrolled decorative action, nice nice nice, and the plant feels so casual, nice, thank you
Thanks Johnny, that was a good time. I live close to these guys and never knew they were there. Best Regards gentlemen.
Definitely an eye opener on American gunmaking. Had to watch this again for A 10 and Galazan over & under.
This has to be one of the most fascinating videos I've ever seen.
Wow, what a factory. I'm just trying to get my head around the knowledge & skill in there.
