Trigger stoning explanation begins around 35:00 complete with geometry lesson. All of this work just to get back to why the unit was discarded in the first place. Edited through 3 hours of video to get what we have here. We had to break off filming somewhere and complete the edit. We might revisit this at some point in the future.
i just nominated Mark for the gundies, everyone else should do the same; this man literally taught me enough to make getting certified through SDI a cake walk..
When you retire, you should compile your videos into a gunsmithing course and have both an income stream in retirement ( VERY important ), but be able to help the next generation of young people keep the second amendment alive and historical firearms functioning.
I am the owner of this gun. Mark what you have done to it is amazing to say the least. To bring it up to this condition from where it was when I inherited it and sent it to you is unbelievable. I look forward to seeing it in person. I know there is more work to be done, I'll wait for you to contact me.
Looks like a neat gun!! Can you comment on the decision not to turn the new barrel down to round? We’ve seen barrels in the “past” that were octagon that had sections turned down to round. That would keep the gun visually more historically accurate while bringing her back to life? NOT being critical just curious.
@@Whitpusmc The Kennedy rifles came in round and octagon barrels. The octagon barrel I found was an original so had factory markings. I would rather have that and still have the correct appearance rather than turn the barrel and lose them.
We can rebuild it...we have the technology! We can make it stronger! Bluer! More...octagonal! More proof that the name Burgess spells weirdness, whether you're digging it out of a big layer of shale or a gun rack. Once again, a pleasure watching a true master craftsman at work.
A washed up Whiitneyville-Kennedy lever action refurbished into a hex barreled Martini-Henry single shot. Make me one that shoots the .303 British Enfield rounds. It took me two shots of brandy to make it through this video. I have learned that if you find a rifle laying in the weeds just walk on past it. You will always be my hero Mark. I neither have the knowledge or patience to ever even think about repairing a firearm.
I love this channel for several reasons. One of them is that it is much like a gunsmith's edition of Ian's Forgotten Weapons channel. We get to not only see interesting old weapons that we probably would not otherwise see, we also get to see a lot of detail about how they are put together and how they function. Thanks, Mr. Novak!
I'm not a firearms fanatic by a long stretch but I love all of your videos for the engineering, innovation, explanation and production. Absolutely love them. Thank you both
I love longer project videos like this. I know that these jobs are a bear to do, not to mention filming on top of it all, so thank you so much both Mark and Bruno for making this channel happen!
OMG - That use of a roller when you were stoning the trigger was BRILLIANT. So simple yet so utterly ingenious. It's such an education to watch you work.
Your channel is criminally underviewed and undersubscribed. I've watched numerous channels that overlap and your's has quickly made it to the top of the list.
When throwing something becomes the answer to solve the problem… or to make you feel better. I think we’ve all been there. Thanks for all the superb videos, I’ve learned so much priceless information from you guys.
Mark, you are an amazing master gunsmith. Even though your videos are not training video, your skill sets are clearly presented in an informative manner and goes to show that a true gunsmith is not a parts installer but is well informed and educated in all aspects of firearms repair and knows how to solve a problem rather than simply replace a part without knowing what caused the problem in the first place. Amazing simply amazing!
I am never going to repair or refurbish an old gun but I love watching these. There is something satisfying and restful about watching a skilled workman. Some of the techniques I have used and can appreciate a master. Indeed you are the 'Carbon Based Lifeform'!
best filming and presenting of the whole YT !!! no cam shaking no extrem cuts , always good light ...always a bit fun but most time serious ......perfekt ....from austria
Mark for the ijits that think they know better than you, they need to start their own shop, and start videoing or shut up. I've known a couple of old time gunsmiths and what they used to do some of the same stuff were big (2 foot plus ) wrenches to do what you did with a crescent wrench or multi adjustable mechanical nut loosener. I don't know of any gunsmith that has the patience to show us his work and I applaud you for so doing just tell the distractors to pound sand.
Plus, I did mention multiple times we weren't using a gob of torque....I get constructive discussions all the time. The people who "bluster", trying to make themselves look good by saying I suck, can go fuck themselves.
Sometimes when we start a project, we don't know what we don't know. Or we don't understand everything we know about it. Its called learning... Good show!
Another excellent episode, Mr. Mark. I could watch you hammer these challenging restorations all day! When all goes smoothly, it’s an added bonus. There’s simply nothing else like this, anywhere. If there exists similar exhibitions out in these wastelands, please share the peanuts…
once again great video....thank you and bruno again... nothing like seeing these old pieces of art restored and the aggravation involved in bringing these back to life.
Brilliant video and presentation. Not my normal area of interest but I sat glued to the screen for its entire length. A master craftsman. Hi from Australia.
Loved how you sanded with a file and like your scraper too. I discovered this file scraping/sanding by accident and it worked like a charm on my Lithgow stock. As always 👍👍👍
as a retired/disabled mechanic (not parts replacer or technician), I can feel your pain! it seems like frustration is a constant companion, but it is glorious when you can triumph over it! also, I LOVE some of your specialized tools. I have an entire drawer in my tool box for those one of a kind home built tools.
every piece you share and show has me amazed and having learned new lessons on conservation, patience and respect for living and functioning history. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, outstanding.
16:03 - I'd say you're modifying the priceless Kennedy forend so the Sumbitch can be upgraded to servicable and shootable condition once again. If it weren't (as before) it's nothing more than a fancy paperweight, IMO. As always, a fascinating look at history and the mechanics of a unique piece, sir. Thanks.
Lol at least you tossed it in some tall soft weeds and I lost it when you got out your cheap lipstick for the in letting remembering your comment about lipstick on a pig. Great video Mark thoroughly enjoyable trip deep down the rabbit hole. And really got it when you worked out the trigger and hammer triangulation looking at it as you explained it was a spot on and even in stoneing the trigger and hammer full cock interface I see the problem with triangulation of the intersection. I've seen a few that had the same wonky triangle set up either positive or negative
I love these long videos. I learn about rifles and their function that I otherwise would probably never see the inside of and I ALWAYS learn a new tip or method that I can practice or implement in my work. You guys are amazing!
I had a 94 Winchester go across my bench that came out of one of the local railroad offices. It had nigh on every screw a hardware store replacement and was very frustrating.
I know you've heard it plenty but you continue to inspire me. I'm eternally grateful to you Mark and the whole C&Rsenal crew. Every video shows me more that I don't ever know enough and I'm happy to learn from these videos. My basic caveman understanding of my firearms and the simple work I've done has been tremendously helped through work like this and it's helped my lateral/critical thinking of how sears and different actions systems work. I fear for the days when your generation of smiths retire. There are no gunsmiths near me with this level of expertise, and it makes me want to learn it more.
Mark its great that you have saved another old part of history. If you would have been around in 1944 we might have a few 1920-30 cars left to admire. Congrats
"The decision to destroy this gun was probably made a hundred and something years ago." The fine art conservation nerd in me was satisfyingly placated this statement. Basically saying, "the thing is already dead, so I'm making something new, rather than attempt to keep it going as a zombie."
Fantastic - not only given a physical shot of the mythical and legendary epoxy, a suppler name and a masterclass on its use thanks Mr Novak and Bruno it shows not only do you create superb content but respond to your fans of your craft, (I'll mostly be using this on guitar repairs but the I do conserve the occasional air rifle here in the UK and have a brownels🙂)
Mr.Novak, I could watch your content non stop, being a young guy and only dig older firearms. I love it your work is flawless. I'm always on the look out for junker or project firearms at gunshows,fla markets ect, just for the challenge of trying to fix them !. I don't mind the black rifles. But there not my thing. Did you go to a gunsmithing school ? I just wonder how I or where I could learn more about the art of gunsmithing. Cheers Cody Michigan
Excellent video, well worth the time spent viewing. Very complex firearm, would not want one - too many parts subject to failure. Subscribed to your web site. Not a gunsmith or restorer but as an engineer am fascinated about how just about anything is invented. Thanks for your videos
Simply hypnotic and fascinating in respect of your assessment and break-down of the armaments you handle and repair….. Can you give your viewers the same analysis and breakdown of how you came to be narrating and undertaking your UA-cam videos? Would also love to see one of your consultations with a client in respect to their aspirations and requirements and what you have to undertake to win the project and manage their expectations….
Thanks for another great video! I have a Whitney Kennedy large frame (loop lever). Hoping to see a final video of this one cycling and firing correctly. Thanks for bringing it back!
Woaa!! Super nice trick at 40:24 ... I really like these simple but super effective precision like oldschoool stuff! Basically thats why I'm here... As always, nice job Mark!
Hi Mark, A small note. You should not mix up the Acraglas on a paper surface. It will absorb some of the esters and create an unwanted low strength bond. One should use a glass surface to mix on. Buy a cheap picture frame at the local 2nd hand shop for little or nothing. Remove the glass pain then tape the edges so it can't bite you. It can make a big difference in the bond the set up time and long term strength.
Good updated lesson on why a basis foundation of geometry is STILL important. I am amazed at how these guys and JM Browning even pictured something like this in their mindvand then put it into a product the functions. I would hate to own one of these as cleaning them would be a nightmare. As always, more of a lesson plan that for use to do the task. Thanks
I have done quite a bit of re barreling of lever and single shot guns over the years and you were very lucky to get that barrel to index. Better go and buy yourself a lottery ticket...
We had to go around once and push the chamber out, beyond the scope of the video. You are correct, this project burned up karma for the next YEAR........
Mark, it's only a dream (I'm 73) but I wish they had had a shop class at St. James when I was a student there and you were the shop teacher, I would have learned a lot.
I so envy the fact that you guys on that side of the pond can just do barrel replacements without having to go through litteral years of legal battling like we have to
Like the tubular cutter ! just what I would do, which is sort of comforting somehow, half the value of my tools to me are the little oddities I have made for one off jobs.
Love watching your channel and soaking up the knowledge! This video was absolutely worth the price of admission to watch till the end! Maybe I should say the beginning again!!! LMAO
Something I’ve done to all of my AR triggers, I take 1000 grit sand paper and put a dot of Hoppes number 9 on the edge. I lay the sand paper on a flat surface and just barely touch up the sear surfaces. It gets rid of the burs and machine marks and makes the trigger perfectly smooth.
Hey Mark, I just wanted to let you know that you can still get Craftsman tools. Stanley/Black&Decker purchased the IP from Sears back in 2017. Ace is now the official retailer of Craftsman, but there are other stores where you can find the products, like Lowes for an example. The one thing that still gives me hope for the brand is that Stanley/Black&Decker made a commitment to bring the manufacturing back to the US; there are only a limited number of products that are made in the US at this time, but I believe their ultimate goal was to get all Craftsman products made in the US again.

Watching you repair firearms is like watching Bob Ross paint a painting. Soothing! Keep up the great work sir!

mark i would never expect you to throw that gun. But you did a good job thanks for letting us see this
Thanks for the upload Mark, always a good day when Anvil comes into my feed!
After having this in my hands and watching the video for the third time, I realize the weight that this project has carried.
I love these long videos. I learn about rifles and their function that I otherwise would probably never see the inside of and I ALWAYS learn a new tip or method that I can practice or implement in my work.
You guys are amazing!
You are most definitely "The carbon based lifeform"!! OUTSTANDING!
Greeting and best wishes from Ontario Canada. Very glad to see you healthy in these COVID-19 times, a really hope you stay that way.

Mark its great that you have saved another old part of history. If you would have been around in 1944 we might have a few 1920-30 cars left to admire. Congrats
It's amazing that I never realized that rifling a barrel makes it try to twist with each shot. Thanks for that nugget!
There's interesting science to it, calculations and such. It's possible to spin a bullet so fast is disintegrates.
Great job 👍👍, better than I could ever do. Any time you preserve something old, you are saving a little bit of history !!
Mark, you are an artist! Such a pleasure to watch you work.
Your a craftsman. I am hooked. You take the time to explain. And you do a great job. Thanks.
Great content. Thanks, as always, for putting the work in to make these videos for us.
Always a pleasure to watch you work
Thank you once again Mark, your tips and suggestions have helped save and preserve more than you know Sir.

Always fascinating to watch you work on an old firearm. Thanks.
Excellent video, well worth the time spent viewing.
Very complex firearm, would not want one - too many parts subject to failure.
Subscribed to your web site.
Not a gunsmith or restorer but as an engineer am fascinated about how just about anything is invented.
Thanks for your videos
This has been the next delicious video I have been waiting for since that colt-burgess. Thank you!!!
At 1:20:40, did you lose a screwdriver bit?
HEAVY EDITING.....oh yes we did.
when I am tinkering with one of my guns and come to a stop I as my self "what would Mark do"
Thanks Mark you are magic with guns.
Lovely to see Lord John at work Will, thank you.
that ending is amazing
Simply hypnotic and fascinating in respect of your assessment and break-down of the armaments you handle and repair…..

Thanks for another great video! I have a Whitney Kennedy large frame (loop lever). Hoping to see a final video of this one cycling and firing correctly. Thanks for bringing it back!
I'm getting there. It appears the ejector also has a feed function. I will do a short one on this, not a full Anvil though
Woaa!! Super nice trick at 40:24 ... I really like these simple but super effective precision like oldschoool stuff! Basically thats why I'm here... As always, nice job Mark!
Love the last bit of throwing the darn thing in the bushes! We’ve all had that level of frustration
Hi Mark, A small note. You should not mix up the Acraglas on a paper surface. It will absorb some of the esters and create an unwanted low strength bond. One should use a glass surface to mix on. Buy a cheap picture frame at the local 2nd hand shop for little or nothing. Remove the glass pain then tape the edges so it can't bite you. It can make a big difference in the bond the set up time and long term strength.
In a pinch, plastic gift cards make excellent mixing paillettes . Good spreaders for Bondo, too
I use glazed printed cardboard (like cornflakes box, bits of plastic milk jug etc) anything that does not absorb liquid.
Good updated lesson on why a basis foundation of geometry is STILL important. I am amazed at how these guys and JM Browning even pictured something like this in their mindvand then put it into a product the functions. I would hate to own one of these as cleaning them would be a nightmare. As always, more of a lesson plan that for use to do the task. Thanks
Thanks Mark! I end up watching every one of these many times.
This video made me really appreciate the Marlin 336.
Oh YES.
I have done quite a bit of re barreling of lever and single shot guns over the years and you were very lucky to get that barrel to index. Better go and buy yourself a lottery ticket...
We had to go around once and push the chamber out, beyond the scope of the video. You are correct, this project burned up karma for the next YEAR........
Beautiful job, lot's of skill, experience and some common sence. I love the scew head renovations.Thanks for sharing
Mark, it's only a dream (I'm 73) but I wish they had had a shop class at St. James when I was a student there and you were the shop teacher, I would have learned a lot.
Absolutely loved this. Cannot get enough of these
What a puzzle, as always you make it look easy. Great video
I so envy the fact that you guys on that side of the pond can just do barrel replacements without having to go through litteral years of legal battling like we have to
Come on over! The water's fi....Somewhat better in some regards... Let's Go Brandon and all that jazz..
@@rodgersmith1573 I would if I could, but at 20, I'm struggling to afford filling my car up, nevermind a plane ticket. One day though
I just discovered your videos..need to catch up and hit the buttons and comments. Love this thanks..

Like the tubular cutter ! just what I would do, which is sort of comforting somehow, half the value of my tools to me are the little oddities I have made for one off jobs.
I love your VFR into IMC comment it made me snicker. I’m sure anyone who isn’t a pilot that one just slipped by them
The guy was scud running in a 152. It was pouring down rain 5 minutes later, totally closed out. Hope he got down ok

I cut a beer can to use as a protective shim when using the crescent.
As a machinist, I approve of what you did to the trigger.
Loved the ending. That was me today with a # 5 rolling block with a wimpy main spring... LOL
excellent video. You have the knack for teaching. Thanks
Us ex-machinist usually find a reason to cringe during these videos, but the end result un-puckers things.
I love these projects of yours. In some ways, for the viewer at least, the problem guns are the most interesting.
Thank you for this, I hadn't heard of a Kennedy rifle before seeing your video.
Another great video! thanks for taking the time to do these.
