I’ll be 76 in June. Been retired going on 14 years living the life here in central New York. I’ve never had so much fun working for myself gardening, fire wood, cropping hunting and shooting at my own range. To keep fit the wife and I have fitness programs. My philosophy is I’ll keep on doing till they call for me up above. I bet you are cut from that same philosophy. I really enjoy your channel and look forward to your videos. I also tinker with guns so you’re teaching me a few tricks of the trade. So I’ll keep on keeping on and bet you will too! My vote for the all guns is send them hunting in the best condition possible!
Wow...thank you Henry! My dad passed at 95, and the day he had his stroke (which is what ultimately took him) he had just finished a 5 hour day working at his gunsmithing bench at the retail store. His motto was to "live till you die". I am beginning to think we are a different breed.
I agree. It should be used and loved. I do amateur gunsmithing myself and love finding old firearms that still have good bones, that have all or most all of there parts, clean them up, repair whats needed, and bring them back to life and USE THEM!
I know your videos on the little Stevens Favorite helped me with mine. I'm 73 so I sure know where you're coming from. One day, one gun at a time. You get to set your own pace so don't over-extend yourself. You've already done a lot. Cheers!
I have worked on and collected all the old Winchester auto's. I have a 03, 05, 07 & 10. The difficult part in putting them back together is the recoil spring. I found a trick some years ago on getting it back in. Use a piece of 5/16 cold role rod about 18" long and drill a 1/8 blind hole near the end of it where you will put a 1/8 pin that just stick out enough to capture the recoil spring when you place it over it. Insert the rod through the bolt, compressing the spring with the pin facing towards the bottom of the gun. I used a pair of vice grips to hold the rod after compressing it in the bolt extension. Insert back into the gun, holding the bolt all the way back into the receiver. Once you have everything lined up, remove the 1/8 pin, holding the bolt back with the spring compressed, remove the rod and insert the actual guide rod and screw it in. I have also found that ruffing up the inside of the forearms and putting a light coat of epoxi on the inside of the forearms do help strengthen them. The 07's & 10's are bad about splitting the forearms since they are so thin and having all of that reciprocating mass seems to crack them.
Wow...guess you have been into these old beast. Ill have to remember this comment when we finally get this thing ready for restoration. Thanks for the tips
@@jeffryrichardson9105 Yeah...thats a bit far for a quick tune up. You guys are having one hell of a time out there with the anti's. I am thinking it is only a question of time before it hits everywhere.
I will be very appreciative if you can show us how to fully disassemble the M1907 Winchester. Replacing the buffer pad and the recoil spring is not easy and requires like four hands. There aren't any good videos on it.
I have a ton of collectible rifles and shotguns and I hunt with them all. I'm careful with them and I don't take them in the rain ,but I love hunting with them. To me there's no use having them if you can't use them and enjoy them.
Geez all caps even. Don't be a "little" man, but instead, make some well thought out and well articulated comment on what it was in the video that you found difficult to watch. Or then....like they say....you can just turn it off. See yah!
I noticed what they are commenting about. Just a lot of fast movements with the guns and hands. Probably be more enjoyable video to watch if all the movements were tuned down. Never really noticed before. Love your channel anyway!
You know what Bill? I enjoyed your company whenever I walked into Rody’s, and now that I’ve found your channel I get to continue to enjoy listening to you. Very informative, Very informative…Thank you Sir.

Glad to hear that you are teaching the youth! 👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Small starts! Hopefully a new generation.

Thanks for your reply, your Dad had it right. We can only hope for the same!
Been wondering if you were okay, Bill. Glad to hear you've been busy!! 👍
Thanks Karl. Yep still here. Very busy! Working on that new channel too.

Thank you so much for the support! We will keep doing what we do , but the pace may slow down a bit.

Well....we will learn together. I have never had one apart.

Thanks Jason! Yep...agree!
All that spinning action got me dizzy
You okay now? Hope you watched the video though. 😉
VERY ANNOYING,VERY ANNOYING
