Flaring tool is missing the flaring part.

Arent u supposed to try to pet wild buffalo and get a selfie?

Looks like my former home of Northern California, but left in 2008 for North Carolina...❤❤❤❤

I just inherited a 1849 wm r Schaefer under lever where the barrel release is underneath

When I was a kid mushrooming I thought I found the perfect place to pee. A nice sandy clear patch. I have not forgotten that. LOL

when we were kids blueberry picking my brother pushed me down on a huge red ant hill . LOL my mom stripped me real fast ... years ago Char and I used to travel all the back country . we don't do much of it anymore because she can't walk much now , in case of truck breakdown ..good memories ...<><

Looks like a great place to go to escape the rat race. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Great information Dale - thanks. BTW I see the little mini in the background there - how's she running?

WOW , learned a ton , thanks Dale .. didn't know <><

Cool. Literally. LOL

Hey!! I got some of those too!!

Isn't he just so precious.

Waste of good wood

Going to make some good heat this winter.

Is this before or after the great escape????

Looks like my own tackle box! That little yellow lure in the South Bend box is a Vibra-bat, not a part of the spiinner lure in the box. I have two sizes of that, never caught a thing on either of them! The red and white plug in the top tray is a South Bend Bass-O-Reno. I also have one of the Pfleuger (pronounced Flooger) fly reels, still use it, along with several of the Mitchel reels. Nice find, and great price!

Thats a lot of memories and dust to sort through. Thats a nice looking vise you got, brilliant stand too.

The mini cabin is really cool, lovely job you did. Chesters pretty cool too!

Nice video, really interesting history too.

Hey, just found your channel, not a bad haul you had👍🏻

Dang the lures are awesome there is a crawler out now called the I wing by magabass

Wish I could do that, but it's so dry that we are under a burn ban.

I used to fish with some of the lures that you have found in the tackle box.

It's a buckle of some kind.

❤

This is a great tribute to your dad🤗

Its a cartridge gun its newer than 1835. Its Damascus steel, so id be afraid of shooting it.

Can't see.

seam smasher for sheet metal

I bought that kit around 1975 it was by Ethan Allen for around $39

Joseph Manton ! A man told me 50 years ago they were sought after and pricey

It's worth fixing up. It's more than likely 1860s or newer. You can shoot 2 1/2 in shells in them

Wow!! To quote Sir Winston Churchill, "“It's a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma…”. First off, I highly doubt it's an authentic gun from Joseph Manton. He was, above all, THE master gunmaker of his time. No one else made guns to his level of quality, beauty, fit and finish. His guns were especially noted for the level of superlative engraving. His guns were not only excellent firearms, they were the utmost expression of the gunmaker's art and his prices reflected that. By Manton's standards, the engraving on this gun is amateurish at best. Even the name "J. Manton" is crudely inscribed. Joseph Manton most often inscribed his guns with, "Joseph Manton" and "London". After his bankruptcy (1826) and imprisonment (1828), his workshop was seized and Joseph Lang, a gun dealer of the time bought Manton's remaining stock of guns. His son, John Augustus Manton, preserved the name and carried on the gunmaking and legacy, going by the name “Joseph Manton & Son.” The guns from this shop continued the tradition of only making the best of the best. Shotgun gauges back then were not as standardised as today. (In Great Britain, it's not "gauge", but rather "bore".) This gun isn't a 12 bore. It's an 11 bore. That is stamped on the barrel flats along with the proof marks. A careful examination of those proof marks and a guide to British proof marks should give you the date of the proofing. I don't know if Manton's early gun records still exist but if they do, you could ask the record keeper to look up, "Double Hammer gun, serial number 2846". Nothing ventured, nothing gained!!

Wow nice old gun thank you for sharing it with us sir

Get a PVC pipe and block off the end of it. Make it long enough the barrel can completely fit in it and be submerged when you fill it up with vinegar. Let it sit in a vinegar bath for a few days and take it out and give it some love with a wire brush or 400 grit sandpaper and then put it back in for a day. Then make sure you wash them off to keep the vinegar from re-rusting the barrels. That’s how I restore my old rusty barrels. I normally Oxpho blue them right away and then oil them so they don’t re-rust.

It’ll be a lot newer than 1835 my guess is it’s probably gonna be in the 1880s or newer

You can also unscrew that hammer and put it on the other side backwards just to see if the mechanism works

There’s nothing to take in those things apart and clean them. If I could do it, anybody can. I even put a vice grips on the little square to make sure it moved back in the day when I didn’t care about marrying up my guns in the 90s when I was young and . My guess is you’re probably gonna have to make a stock for it.

You get replacement hammers and screws from Dixie gun works. Bought a 1873 charles Daly Damascus SXS 10 gauge from a rummage sale in the 90’s for $45. Missing a hammer. Finally restored it a couple years ago and shot a turkey with it. They also sell screws. I’m sure you could cobble a stock for it easy enough. Just give it a vinegar bath to clean off the rust and Oxpho blue it. Looks like a fun project!

Make new wood for it both fore and stock.And add the other hammer.

Cool❤

Typical cat. Very dramatic 😂

The vice looks like what they sold at BJ's Wholesale back in the 80s when they actually had good suff at extremely cheap prices, I think it was $29.00

Is this at the house out west of town?

You can reference the proof marks on the underside of the barrels, they will tell you within a few years of when they were made. If it was a real Manton it would be quite valuable, however Manton was long out of business when your gun was made late 1800's early 1900's

Lots of treasures in there, Thats the kind of place I like to take a basket fill it up and say how much.

Wow, looks like you definitely need to have a sale

Well I can be to sure of that....but I would think if it was patched properly chain firing wouldn't be an issue...but fast loading powder and ball unmatched I'd think it could happen often lol

Good info Dale, I don't know anything about black powder guns but they are cool,.How often do you think the chain reaction would happen in a fire fight?
