Yes looks very similar to my Arrietta. As usual a super educational video. One of the most usefully instructive parts is demonstrating one’s own limitations! More than once considered disassembling the locks and now glad I resisted the urge to. I’m sure I would end up spending about a week exploring the workshop floor in search of those little springs.
@@specdel yes the makers traditionally made a generic standard gun for the local iron monger or hardware store if they bought a batch, with the trade name of the store. this happened in British Birmingham gun quarter a lot.
Excellent job, whether expedited or not. I always ask my gunsmith how much time he needs to do a job well, and then wait for that time to pass. Emergencies occur, but otherwise I dislike putting undue pressure on any service provider. Perry P., SoCal, USA
Suggestion, if I may be so bold? To stop the hand vice locking up 'early' I put a couple of washers and some grease under the wing nut. It never did it again
Fantastic video very informative , i have a Denton and Kennel silverpoint looks very very similar to the one you have here . Unfired untill last year cracking little gun .
Denton & Kennel when they were in business, had a shop in Somerton, Somerset, not far from me. Nearly all their guns were made in Spain and at the cheap end of the market. They looked great but they did not have the greatest reputation for reliability. They advertised widely in the shooting press, but went out of business many years ago.
In my opinion, no shotgun looks more elegant than a sidelock side by side, but in truth I always cringe at how delicate the wood looks behind the locks, having been carved out for placement of the locks. This is more appearance than reality, but that is my reaction each time. Perry P., SoCal USA

I have an Arrietta in for some work. 👍

Good idea! I will implement that Mod 👍
@@devongunsmith4698 it’s caused ( I think) by the screw thread not being at 90° to the wing nut base so it binds on the edge 👍
@@posei3960I believe you are correct. I noticed it binding up.

Thanks for your contribution. very interesting. 👍
Fascinating stuff, any idea who would have originally supplied the action in the white?
Almost certainly Spanish.

I hate to see a shotgun that neglected.
It happens too frequently.
