    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!

    A lot of people tend to forget, while he is the CEO of Midway, he started out as a gunsmith and he is a very skilled one at that. I have a friend that is very skilled not only at gunsmithing but woodworking as well. Nothing wrong with having the toys!

    Amazing, and kind of humbling, to see such masterful work being done.
    When I was a lad in Montana, someone gave me an old single shot .22 rifle that was so worn out you could drop an entire .22 cartridge down the muzzle, and all that stopped it was the rim. It fired, but wasn't too accurate! I think it needed this job done to it.

    When I started gunsmithing, the only way to secure a barrel liner was by Silver-soldering it in place.

    My father would have loved your videos he was an d school engineer who considered perfection a good starting point. We did work on a couple of my guns but living in the UK not as many as I would have liked. Dad kept my grandfather's Lorries on the road and did work for the lokal farmers (farm work was allwase urgent last minute jobs) but even then dad never cut corners. A lokal farmer asked for a breakdown on the bill for a job dads reply was priceless
    "10% for doing the job 90% for knowing how to do the job" my leston from that was knolage was everything with being able to do the job a very close second. Please keep up the very interesting video's even living in a gun hating country I do find them very informative.

      @@adventureguy4119 Modern anaerobic adhesives are fine for the task. High temp versions exist (see Henkel and other websites) if desired. Modern adhesives hold all sorts of things together, including jet fighters. Bonus is if someone shoots out the liner, the barrel can be safely heated (use an IR temp gun to monitor) to the point where the adhesive releases and the old liner can be easily pressed out.

    @russbilzing5348 5 років тому

    What you aren't seeing is the patience that it takes to let the drill feed itself into the barrel. Many fine barrels have been poorly treated and lost a great deal of accuracy by someone rushing the job, as pushing the bit even the least bit too hard will cause it to wander off center. Drilling it from both ends helps to alleviate this but cannot prevent it. Proper bit sharpening and constantly removing the bit to clear it of chips are also hallmarks of a decent gunsmith as is the oil he uses and how often. I have no doubt "J.M. Pyne" could be stamped on there without complaint...lol.

    I know this video is 9 years old, but I was wondering how much it would cost to reline a bolt action .22 Long Rifle. I have a 1956 Remington 511, Score Master with a 7 shot magazine. My dad gave it to me when I was 10 years old. He had it as long as I can remember and it was used when he got it. He didn't shoot it much, but I've put literally thousands of rounds through it. In my younger years it was quite accurate, but as I got older and my eyesight started failing I had a gunsmith drill and tap it for a big game scope mount and I mounted a 3X9 Tasco scope on it for squirrel hunting. Most of my shots were head shots taken within 20 to 35 yards. I recently tried to re-sight it in for 100 yards. My shots were all over the place. I averaged about an 8 inch group. So, I re-sighted it back to 25 yards and even then it wasn't as accurate as it used to be. I was using sand bags and a solid bench rest, but nothing helped. After taking a closer look down the bore I could see the pitting that had occurred over the years. If it doesn't cost too much I'd like to get it relined, so I can shoot it confidently again. I'm almost 70 years old and it's one of the few things I have left that my father gave me. I'd like to pass it down to the next generation, but if it's wore out I'm afraid they'll just sell it after I'm gone. So, anyone have any idea what this would cost?
