We are flattered to be featured at TGS outdoors. It would be helpful maybe to contact us personally for information and picture material next time. A kind invitation. Thank you.
That wee presentation has taken some research, it is appreciated and I share your enthusiasm for the flamboyant! Looking forward to part 2, cheers and thank you.
Thank you for an amazing video, can't wait for parts 2 and 3! I had a pleasure of meeting Hausmann at Hohe Jagd fair in Salzburg this year and could get my hands on their single trigger Vierling - it is ready for engraving already. Breathtaking gun, a true ode to engineering thought and handwork!
Had a privilege of taking a closer look on Peter Hofers creations at gun show. Absolutely sublime. However, I don’t consider them usable firearms. Art pieces? Sure. Investments? Possibly. But the mere thought of taking such a thing into the woods is making my skin crawl. Holland & Holland guns are extremely expensive and yet most of them still feel and look like a usable firearm.
Guns are very important to Austria and our history but most people, even Austrians, don't know about it. Here are some Austrian gun Facts: -Biggest firearms exporter to the USA -Home of Glock and Steyr arms -Invented the first semi Automatic rifle -Created the smallest semi Automatic pistol -Created the first (maybe only) double barrel bolt action rifle -Least restrictive gun laws in the EU, even less restricted than some US states -Despite all of the guns, we are one of the safest countries in the world. There are probably some more that I don't know.
@@tgsoutdoors I know, which is why I didn't mention any specific gun. Well, I guess I mentioned two indirectly. Think of it more as a teaser than a spoiler.
Hi Jonny, I had a quick look at the Lechner and Jungl website on the train home from work... and WOW! Just beautiful! I really like those side by sides!! Dare I ask, how much?
If you would indulge me for a moment in 70s I drooled over a Purdey that was made for a gentleman named Minoudis a Greek shipping magnate I believe check it out if you can .Now why did you have to do this to me Hofer OMG thanks again for these wonderful posts so helpful in these gloomy times
I have a Ferlach combination gun built in 1911 5.6 x 52 caliber pre ww2 , unknown shotgun gauge. Has name of “Val. Tscinkowitz” . Ever heard of his work?
Once the current unpleasantness is over, I really hope you guys can make an Austria gun making/hunting tour film. That is a country with a whole lot of visual appeal. Good deal less flat than Hampshire, though.
Total man hours per gun? the most basic of engraving jobs, such as loose scroll borders will take a full day - the best sidelock with bulino gamescene - 500 hours maybe.
@@tgsoutdoors I guess the gun engravers and wood carvers aren't classed as gunsmiths in any way? -- more as their own specialist craftsmen / women who could come and go from the gun market into others?
Very much the case, however the most famous and best gun engravers work only on guns and have a vast wait list. These masters can be working on a single gun for 6 months.
I am searching for information on two rifles my father acquired while stationed in Stuttgart circa 1970. They are pristine condition - matched - bolt action rifles in calibers 306 & 308. I am trying to determine general values in 2022 for insurance purposes. Any assistance truly appreciated.
Austrians tended to bird hunt in communist hungary in the early/mid eighties. How they got back and forth across the border I have no idea. I was invited on a hunt but as a NATO kid and because of my Dad's job I had to decline. They all had really arty austrian shotguns.
I can send you some pictures of the finished Vierling! I just ned your Email! And Prinz is not from Ferlach! He's a German gunschmith! Best regrets from Austria 👌🏻

Probably not everybody’s taste but I love the bas relief engravings the Kirsten Greener locks, thank you a ton 🙏🏼💖
Wow!! Stunning artistry. I didn't know Austria made guns like these. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to part 2.
Please make a review video on peter hofer 4 bore dinasour😊

I would take his night sky shotgun with seethrough locks out every day if I could
Peter Hofer makes sublimely artistic usable arms. He is a genius and one of a kind.
beautiful guns and good work
" sat on top of the bloody shelving unit" just brilliant mate !
Oswald Prinz is no Austrian but a German gunmaker, isn't he?
Brilliant video made even better by your infectious enthusiasm for the subject.👍

Just kidding mate, would love to come over shooting at some point next year
Don't forget Dschulnigg in Salzburg on your tour next year. I hunt with Ferlach Guns because that's what they were made to do.
Damn, and here I was thinking my Browning is beautiful, whats in your video is unbelievable.
Hi Jonny, I had a quick look at the Lechner and Jungl website on the train home from work... and WOW! Just beautiful! I really like those side by sides!! Dare I ask, how much?
They are rather nice - no idea on the price though im afraid. With every one so individual, i expect every model has a 'start price'

Thats the one any idea what it made ?
😊very beauty guns,tanks alot.
Thank you, Pure Art.
Nice. Would be even better to see the actual rifles and manufacture. But still very well done. Thank you.
Fascinating, beautiful guns. Could you give an indication of their values.
Not less than £10000 and up to and exceeding £200000
I bet you've got a damp patch now after all those gorgeous gun's.

Austria sadly, is leading the charge in global tyranny and digital fascism.
Absolutely stunning, one wonders just how many hour work goes into each hand made piece - I'm thinking in the low to mid hundreds for some of them? 🤔

i was there 7 years ago and this video just appeared in the first page of youtube lol
An eye opener on the world of the gun maker, are they too good to use?
If I had one, I would feel guilty not to use it at least once
amazing one more time !
thank you for the information.. 375 Triple barrell gun must be ideal for elephants hunting.
these are available??
Everything is available in ferlach

I should have noted they are Prinz rifles
Is there anything more beautiful than octagonal barrels? (Rhetorical question)

I wonder how the tweed set really feels about drillings at game shoots.. ;-)
Probably better than an over under
@@tgsoutdoors Ha - so it's the socially acceptable three shot option.
For sure. If I win the lottery I shall buy a triple 28sxsxs for game
@@tgsoutdoors Yeah, I think a 28ga tri-by-side ought to check enough boxes to get you seated at the head of the table. :-)
WARNING !!!!!! This video will take at LEAST 33 mins. 23 secs. to watch. If not more.
I can send you some pictures of the finished Vierling!
I just ned your Email!
And Prinz is not from Ferlach!
He's a German gunschmith!
Best regrets from Austria 👌🏻
Info@tgsoutdoors.co.uk
Thankyou.
I have been corrected on prinz, my apologies. Can’t remember why I didn’t fact check that one.
@@tgsoutdoors Did you get the pictures?
Nice guns, but I find the engraving a bit too over the top.
Really, a horn trigger guard came as a revelation to you? They were long the standard on German /Austrian guns.
Still pretty cool Though right?
likes your videos very much👍. But have to criticize this. Prinz is a German gunsmith from the Algäu and not an Austrian from Ferlach.
You are correct, clearly slipped in unnoticed. Should have known from the Plain actions
Sorry!
رائع جدا
Nice Video, but Prinz is not an Austrian but a German maker... 😉
At 1:30 I'd suggest that presenter may have been better to have wished that he could used Profound words - rather than Profane!
😂 indeed Alec
Are you in a shed?
The TGS sauna
Excellent shedage 😎
No ENTIENDO NADA DE LO QUE DICEEEEEE
I dislike the video cause I didn’t like the shotgun
Have you been smoking crack
Glen Stevens yeah how did u know?
Which one
TGS Outdoors all videos are very good but this one... I’m more into sporting shotguns
...thanks for the support!
