Extra screw holes drilled into a barrel are a common problem on old rifles. Watch as Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, shows how to weld up the holes on a Winchester 1894 take-down rifle, then remark and refinish the barrel to make it look like new. - Навчання та стиль
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
I've got to be honest here, if it weren't for your videos, Mr. Potterfield, I probably wouldn't have taken a gunsmithing course and started doing something that I truly love. Thank you! I am, and always will be, a loyal MidwayUSA customer!
The level of professionalism displayed here is amazing and inspiring. great videos. the way it should be done.
Larry, you deserve all the success that came to you. The job and the way you execute it is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Larry potterfield is the bob Ross of gun smithing
I say Jack Rowe is the Bob Ross of gunsmithing.
Well, when it comes to guns i hope there will not be any happy little accidents!
I don't know about that... Larry has never tried to hide a mistake with a shrub
I mean hes more of a butcher
@@philspaces7213
No mistakes. Just happy little accidents.
I love old lever guns.. I can't buy enough of them, I watch too many John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies growin up..
Not possible I commend you! That's the way things are with the politically correct public they want you to feel guilty about being a true patriot who has great taste in classic American cinematic art!
I'm not a gunsmithing enthusiast, but these videos are a joy to watch for anyone mechanically inclined. I wish that more instructional content were done with this level of clarity and professionalism.
Reminds me of my great grandpa's old 94 carbine... stock had a notch for every deer, larger one for elk, and an x for bear. It also had a saddle ring. A true cowboy gun that rifle was.
Tapperlite1 legend has it he went to shoot his last bear the stock broke he missed and the bear slashed him once across the face before he killed and gutted it with. No more than his two inch swiss army knife....lol
You have some of the best "how to" video's on you tube, Thanks for sharing.

🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
Even if your not a shooter or hunter you have to appreciate an artist that is at the top of his profession. Truly amazing! Thank you Mr. Potterfield for your fabulous videos and inspiration to do it right not fast.
Great job Larry. You are truly a meticulous professional gunsmith. A blind man could see that from a galloping horse. God bless.
Larry is a legend and so relaxing to watch a craftsman at work these vids are timeless . Thank you Larry
Larry demonstrates so much patience. Such an amazing gunsmith. Such a lost art.
There is no way all of us to thank you for teaching all things gun, restoring, shooting, reloading, gear and yes I will stop now you get the gist of thought!! Thank you many many times!!
Larry, your skills never cease to amaze me - awesome finish!
These videos are exactly what I had in mind when I suggested them years ago. People simply don't understand what is involved in gunsmithing and mess with DIY attempts, to avoid what they view as the high cost of dealing with pros.
Sir, you are awesome. Love your videos. Keep them coming. I am a happy customer of MidwayUSA.
I could watch refinishing and bluing all day! I'm loving these videos!
I never realized how many skills a good gunsmith might have. I could learn some of the skills but I would never have the patience to do such a meticulous job. My hat is off to Larry.
Great job Larry. Not a wasted motion, not a detail missed. Thanks for this video.
These videos are wonderful, if for nothing else than pure interest. However at the very least, they are great for education, and allowing consumers the knowledge not to be taken advantage of by the lack luster share of gunsmiths out there.
Absolutely amazing work. I've got an Everlast powertig welder and I never thought I could make repairs on guns with it.
I so enjoy watching you work and listening to the explanations. It's a real pleasure to see a master craftsman at work.
You never cease to amaze me Larry. Thanks again.
Wow i had an old poster of one of these take down masterpieces on my wall as a teen. in Ireland that's the closest one can get to such a beauty..
thanks for the vid. your a true craftsman in your work and how you express the simplicity of perfection.
We didn't get the grand finale " I am larry Potterfield and that's the way it is"
Larry, thank you for showing us how to do this. I learned a lot and appreciate your skill level and technique in repairing the screw holes in this beautiful old rifle. Like MidwayUSA too!
Every step involves another $5,000 in tools
The only expensive tools here are the lathe and the mill which this job could be done without. No one buys machine tools to refinish their gun and tosses them in the scrap yard. The cost of these tools doesn't matter. I'd you can't afford it, send it to a pro. If you can't afford that forget about it!
@@WCGwkf Yes, and they're very expensive tools too. That's also a pretty decently expensive drill press, but you can get them relatively cheaply. That mill and lathe are easily $5k each.
And a humidity closet he made for$15 and a $12 boiler. The really expensive stuff wasn't necessary, just something he'll use if it's there. The TIG welder is getting to be a fairly ubiquitous tool these days.
larry could do all this with hand tools he doesn't need anything fancy it's just for convenience. he's the real deal! and if he can make some money by making these videos good for him.
He’s an artist. Superb work
Awesome video! I had no idea how much work was involved in bluing a firearm. This gentleman seems like a true professional!
Nice job, Larry!
Larry is just the best and a very kind person.
Larry is a part of American Legends of 20th Century
It's a pleasure to see you work.
4:12 me, as I watch these excellent videos
Learn something new every day.
Very nice job.
Man I just love your videos. You love your work and the whistling shows it. Keep it up.
Thank you Mr. Potterfield
For the content you put out
Wish I had Larry workshop and tools , nice job Larry
Larry Potterfield does amazing work!
Beautiful! Wonderful craftsmanship.
as a gun collector, i find this type of work both beautiful and petrifying
Why petrifying? He's hardly destroying it.
Great job Larry!
Holy cow that was amazing...
That workshop is amazing...
This guy is amazing, so good to watch
I am humbled by all that you do for us. The smallest thing that I can do in return is to subscribe.
I think this is the best video I have seen of yours. Very well done and informative. The barrel turned out great also!
Amazing job, well done, and thanks for posting.
That was awesome! I love watching these videos.
Thanks Larry... Your knowledge is much appreciated..
Larry Potterfield is my hero!
I just went down to the basement of the Ace Hardware on Virginia St., in Reno, NV and the young guy found two for me for the two holes that had been drilled and tap to mount a scope. I think it was under 50 cents! They matched the others exactly!!!
Beautiful work
You do beautiful work..
Thanks for posting this and your other videos. I have learned a lot from watching them.
Great show!!!
😎👍
never seen anything like it. thats amazing skill
Absolutely first class craftsmanship A++
That is amazing. I'm very impressed!
Really amazing work. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for posting this. I have to do this exact same thing to one of my rifles!
Great work, not for an amateur to tackle. My way if thinking is the screw holes are part of the history of this rifle and I would have left them alone.
Awesome shop brother and Mad Skills to boot
Impressive skill and knowledge of the techniques needed!
I’d find an A5 scope and mount it back onto the rifle.
great video & well presented.....love the work shop.
wish I had of that stuff Larry good think I am watching a video of something I can never do thanks Larry thanks for the business
What A PRO!!!
Great job! Very interesting.
You can tell when someone loves their job, they whistle while they work.
Another Superb Job, sir !
Great job sir! As usual!
Learned a lot in this short video. Thank you Sir!
You’re a wizard Larry!
Wow! I wish I could work with you to learn just a little of what you know.
What a legend.
Larry Potterfield is an alien ! But an alien that loves firearms !
Amazing work
That was really a good blend. I usually press plugs in or thread a plug with a shoulder from the same material(If I know what it is). I have had problems with weld showing up as a different color. I even leave the plugs extra long so I have plenty to cut off. Even the compression will of the plug steel will show up with bluing sometimes. Not as easy as it looks.
professionalism at its best.
Larry is awesome.
I love these videos
Larry instead of plugging the barrel with wooden plugs use all thread rod make nylon taper plugs and draw them up with nuts. I came up with this while doing parkerizing to prevent any from getting in the barrel works 100% and if you design the plugs with threads in them and a long enough taper they will work on different calibers .

AMAZING, AS USUAL!!!!
This guy can do ANYTHING
I can't even lick an ice cream cone without dribbling all over my shirt, Larry. How in the world do you stay so clean in these videos???
absolutely incredible
Seems like your changing a piece of history
Wow, this is really good!
RPM's ! LOL. Great video.
Nice job
What a professional!
"Larry. How about filling two screw holes." Larry : "Sure. That'll be about three weeks."
Nice work.
Excellent !!!
Sinceramente da gusto ver trabajar a un profesional en la materia,su trabajo es muy original....
Wow that was amazing
i love these videos !! in fact its why i wanna be a gun smith, but this seems like an excessive amount of work just to fill in some holes that would otherwise be useful
Too cool!!! Best channel on you tube.
Отличная работа! Желаю успехов!
