- How do you put a 3-month long project into a single video? Look at this masterpiece, hand-made by Daniel Casey of Casey Arms. In this video, Daniel walks through the tedious process of creating a fully functioning Flintlock Long Rifle. You could consider this as an heirloom piece, as it contains some unique items the customer wanted to be included in the finished Rifle. I really enjoyed making this one, and I hope you enjoy watching this process. Enjoy!!
This young man should be paid at least 1 million dollars for every gun he makes. I am almost never impressed, but this level of craftsmanship from forging, woodwork, all of it, and don't forget, a true artist can visualize the finished product before he ever starts. As a shade tree mechanic, home fix it guy, self taught welder, all around do it myself guy, I have tears in my eyes at this display of excellence!
Absolutely, you are correct. A true Artesian, some of the best work I have ever seen.
So are you willing to pay him a million dollars per rifle?
If I won the lottery yes, maybe buy 2 and give you 1
@@kevinhardin2941 don't forget me!
If I had it to give him....yep.
This is a 'tour de force' demonstration of mutli-craft skills, endurance and dedication. I like the way your custom customer included parts of his family memorabilia into the make.
The best 45 minutes I've spent in a good while! 👍
It's so pleasing to watch your work, and create a timeless piece of history.
Absolutely wonderful to watch. Mind destroying to listen to, though := ] Muted was terrific !
It was a pleasure watching you turn wood, steel, and silver into an American tradition!
Thanks so much.
Daniel
Been doing gunsmithing since the early 90s. But I did learn a few things here. Never seen one use a cold chisel to open up a dovetail like that! Overall you have a way with hand tools that definitely puts you in the Master Gunsmith class! Only hand tools can create a gun with soul.
AMEN! Fearless TOO!
Agreed 100% Thanks for watching.
Daniel
That touch of making the trigger guard out of an old hammer was really something. A grandfathers tool lives on in another form. Bet ol granddad would be proud. That is a fine rifle. Love that little tool to mark your barrel tennon hole location. Simple but effective. Also fine clean inletting job on the lock recess. Not too much but enough for a good fit. You did a fine job...
Well thanks man. We appreciate you watching.
Daniel
I mean DAMN! Now that is some legit craftsmanship!
Fantastic video and craftsmanship
I'm a craftsman myself but have always enjoyed watching others at work too. The end product is always so satisfying. Beautiful rifle!
Thank you for watching.
Daniel
I thoroughly enjoyed watching a true Master Craftsman, plying his trade! Incredibly entertaing. Thank you, Sir!
I believe this was the best video Ive seen on here. Amazing craftsmanship.
Glad you liked it!
Like. A lot. Great styling touches. Triggerguard, pipes, sideplate, patchbox. Unique but classic.
Great video! I miss y'all's tv series back in the day.
An absolute devine creation, gentlemen, you have definitely earned my respect. Dave & The Girls
Thanks Dave. Your a pretty alright guy yourself. 😊
Daniel
я старый и много видел.таких ,как ты очень мало. Мое почтение.
What a superb degree of master craftmanship this man processes.
Truly a combined piece of art and function.
Anyone would consider this fine rifle the crown jewel of their collection.
Thanks so much for watching and your kind words. I am truly blessed to pursue my craft for a living.

The number of skills and the level of knowledge is amazing
I really have to compliment Daniel as a true artisan & craftsman. Thank you for sharing your talent and helping us along.
I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you for your interest and taking the time to watch and comment. Look forward to sharing more videos soon.
Daniel
Absolutely Gorgeous ! VERY WELL DONE !!! I Always learn Something from these Kinds Of Vids ------
What fantastic craftsmanship and videography. Great build
Incredible amount of skill...and patience! This guy is a true artist!
Это копия ружья из фильма 1969 года! "Gansmit Williamsburg"
Beautiful work. Forge On. God Bless
Such an awesome and comprehensive look at a true art. Excellent flintlock and the custom hardware was awesome!
Watching a master at work creating this work of art was amazing. And you did it in under 42 minutes. Lol Beautiful job.
Boy I wish I could do it that fast. But then everyone would call me speedy Gonzales 😊
Thanks for watching.
Daniel
Magnificent workmanship, very impressed with your work.🥰
Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful work of art and just the correct amount of bling to bring out the best in a firearm in my view. I wish it was mine.👍
I am an engineering technologist with 46 years of experience in electronics and electrics, in addition to woodwork, metal work, foundry work, arc welding, and a fair amount of mason work.
In the light of my experience, I can say that you are a master of your work, especially in metal work and wood work.
Salute to you from Pakistan.
Outstanding Artist and Craftsman!!
Is this guy for real. He is truly one of the best master craftsmen that I’ve ever seen. You are truly amazing. You make it look so easy but yet for the average joe it would be beyond comprehension.
Fantastic workmanship !!!
Great work, Dan! Just keep on keepin' on. Probably see you next year at the CLA show.
what's a rifle. absolutly great,
a masterpiece of craftmansship
That is one more piece of artwork and buddy I would like to be the first to shoot that thing. No matter how beautiful it is it was made to be shot not just stuck on the wall to look at. If you were going to do that there would have been no sense in putting a rifled or a smoothbore Barrel on it. Absolutely amazing!
I enjoyed watching your process. As I fellow builder I always am able to pick up a tip or two from how others do their builds. Funny how we all seem to have that same bin of antlers under benches!
Ha! You can never have too many antlers.
Thanks for watching.
Daniel
Absolutely a beautiful work of art! I am so glad I came across this tonight. I look forward to more of your videos!
A beautiful rifle and the video was well done too. I felt like I was building it with you.
Nice! Thanks for the input. Appreciate you watching.
Daniel
A Master of Master’s! If I didn’t see this video I’d never believe there’s someone with your talent! I can’t believe my eyes! I’m guessing you were raised by someone as capable. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent! I wish you and your family the very best! God Blessed you!
A stunningly beautiful piece!
God gifted you wonderful eyes for form and detail. Please take care to protect them when using power equipment.
Miss Iron & Fire…but I’m glad you have this to follow you and your craftsmanship
Thanks amigo.
Daniel
Excellent craftsmanship !!!
It a beautiful work of art to watch a master gun smith at work.
Wonderful craftsmanship. Here in England it’s not possible for us to own these.
Well done fella
super work ❤❤❤
perfect beautiful work, professor doctor engineer casey !!! 😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much!
I should have just went ahead and ordered one of these a few years ago. Had the form filled out and was in contact with them but backed out. Beautiful work
that's when you appreciate these rifles when you see someone building one.
I wish you would still have your show!
I'm hooked, THATS WHAT THEY MEANT WHEN THEY SAID HANDMADE. Not a kit. Super impressive.
WHERE did you learn all this? Engraving? Pretty darn GOOD engraving!
Lol thanks! I learned the basics from the House brothers of Woodbury Kentucky and the rest from books and lots of trial and error. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Daniel
You are definitely THE MAN! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Watching this process has rekindled an old desire to make my own black powder rifle. Now to just get some land, space, tools and an income to support that hobby and I'm good to go.
Lol nothing to it!
That's awesome brother!! Unreal , Good job!!
Beautiful build
Beautiful beautiful work. You are an amazing talent. True craftsman. You have been blessed with talent. By God. I am sure. 🇨🇦✌️
Thanks man. We appreciate you watching.
Daniel
I love watching a Craftsmen figure "It Out", build the tooling, whatever, DARN GOOD JOB! Darn nice chunk of timber! Dig on the notching system's simplicity, effectiveness, with the Fearlessness! as you Get After it! Dig the alligator clips! I always chase and cuss! Nice SHOP too! FYI grew Up with a hack Saw just like yours, started as a Sparky "cordless" just like yours, then I got a Lenox! Game Changer. AND I see you "engrave" TOO! I do knott nor wish to.
but I Inherited a Strange Tool? Took my about 5 to 7 YEARS! to figure it out. I thought it was a giant mortar pesto kinda thing. "I Have" a a cast Iron Concaved and Convexed engravers vise holder tool for moving your work in 360 rotation with about another 60 axis side to side it's about 120 lbs or more? know anyone who could put her to a good use? I know the buddy who left it to me would like to see it keep working!
never built a ground up Stonner? but WHY NOT? did 1st kit at 12 in 77, and DIY my consumables. I was already planning a forge oven for case hardening?
Smitty work in in the Family Blood line, I already did a few yrs OJT in Forges and Foundries. Me thinks a 45 same as my capper revolvers?
perfect work, prima & respect ...!!
Thank you!!
Simply beautiful
That was fun to watch.
Amazing, you make a very very fine Job.
A true artist at work. Complete masterpiece of both metal and wood.
I know sentiment has no value, however what would a custom rifle like that be worth?
This rifle is in the $5k range.
Thanks so much for watching.
Daniel
Hell ya!! Beautiful flintlock!!
I own a custom Bedford County rifle I've had since 1975 and it does not come near the perfection of this rifle.
Very kind words and much appreciated. Thanks for watching.
Daniel
Really well Done!!!!!!!
What kind of wood? I wish I had the patience to learn this trade. Outstanding!
Maple especially curly maple is my favorite stock wood and is the wood used in this build. Thanks so much for watching.
Daniel
Beautiful work, I would love to see it in action. Will you be making more firearms and showing them on your Channel?
Yes, I'm thinking about making some flintlock pistols, I'll make sure we show them perform in the next firearm video!
@@CaseyArmsChannel Thanks, I can't wait for the next video.
That's really nice.
ALL I can say is WOW !!!! ( ... well almost ... that's a fine rifle . I don't know if it's a smooth bore , or not . I would like to see Him shoot it through . Nice touch incorporating Customer 's Grandpa ' s hammer & silver. coin )
Gifted craftsmanship! Only thing missing is the shooting. Gotta test it before passing it on, right?
We leave it up to the customer whether they want it unfired or not
Thanks for watching.
Daniel
Franchement cette vidéo m'a fait pleurer tellement c'est beau 😢 merci....
Outstanding
Pretty cool little project, but what did you do with the rest of your weekend?
Ha! Freetime? What freetime!?
😂😂
Building a rifle from scratch on one video is an amazing feat in itself. Excellent job, but making a trigger guard from a hammer seems extreme to me !
But the customer is always right!
😄 Thanks for watching.
Daniel
Very entertaining video.
Thank you!
Beautiful rifle
Very nice WORK
Just found this video, I used to watch you on TV, now I'm your newest subscriber.
Bad ass Mr Casey!
Well done
Veramente un fenomeno...grande invidia per la tua manualità
I loved the video it reminded me of my father and his gunsmithing. Thank you for sharing. My question is how did you work the rifling? What twist did you choose?
The twist is 1 in 48. The barrel was already rifled when I began.
Man this is a great looking gun! Maybe next time Chad as a 18th century track I'll be able to go and finally get to meet you. If you can make it next time as well. Have a great day!
Wow! Great peice!
Excellent Video , Very Nice ''💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Muy bueno ... impresionante un gran talento. Saludos
Thank you!
Daniel
Buen trabajo!!!
Brilliant!
amazing work
Wonderful video, but it left me wanting to know, why is the toe of the buttplate sticking below the stock? I'm guessing a toeplate is going in, but wasn't available.
Thank you for pointing that out. I just forgot to include footage of trimming it.
Прекрасная работа. Не стану много писать, а приведу русскую поговорку :дело мастера боится!!! 💥💥💥👏👏👏❤🇷🇺 подписался.
Artwork.
What a Craftsman
Art !
Looks like "curly violin back" maple wood?
Отличная работа !
masterful!
That's a hell of a way to show off your buffalo nickle .
very cool
The og ghost ❤
