Converting a Winchester Model 21 Side by Side from Pistol to Straight Grip | MidwayUSA Gunsmithing 

Wow Mr Potterfield you are extremely talented not only as a gunsmith but a machinist, a iron worker, a carpenter, just everything

this is how i get to sleep at night. larrys voice murmering sweet nothings about various gunsmithing activities and those sweet tunes in the background hopefully one day i will become a master gunsmith vicariously

I miss these gunsmithing videos, are there any plans on continuing them?

I wish I had this machinery in my garage to make fabricating an "easy process".

I can’t imagine cutting the stock on an original Model 21 that was in such good condition, even if it had been refinished.

That was the most awesome modification I’ve ever seen i love it !!

Most amazing and painstaking artistry and skill and sensitivity. And the video itself is so relaxing to watch, no unnecessary chatter or intrusive music, no camera shake or swim for stupid so-called "effect". l love to watch old antique stuff including old guns being restored and repaired. I will watch all your videos now. Congratulations on your great work.

Mr. Potterfield you are an ARTIST !!!!

Larry’s RU-vid videos for Midway ... the original binge-watching for me.

I can't help but admire the skill and dedication to your trade. It's an absolute pleasure to watch you work sir!

What an absolute MADMAN, such skills. This is a good old fashioned hobby, creativity, precision, art, craftsmanship, beauty.

Beautiful work! I can tell even if I was hands on & inspecting this, no one would ever know this was previously a pistol grip stock.

Man, I would watch Larry Potterfield rebuild engines or build furniture or do home electrical upgrades. Hell, I bet he makes great pancakes! What a craftsman.

Well doe Mr.Potterfield the side by side looks fantastic you are the true king of craftsmanship, great video.

Wow Mr. Potterfield You are a Talented Man . Thank you for this content you put out .

I'm addicted to watching these videos. I must watch each one several times. Mostly because they put me to sleep. I have repaired and refinished my share of firearms in my life and one that I put nearly as much effort into it as this video. But then I have never used it again because it was too nice to take to the field. Now I take a more utilitarian approach making it useful and a good candidate for someone else to complete the process into an heirloom.

A true MASTER! Thank you so much for sharing these video's!

Wonderful talent, both in craftsmanship and narrating. Thank you for taking us on that journey.

Just Beautiful, I could watch this all day. You make it look so easy too!

these are great videos, and he has a bunch of them on youtube. Nice to see someone who enjoys sharing their knowledge and skill with the shooting community.

An "Easy Process" my big fuzzy a**. That said, beautiful work.

It's a real pleasure to watch someone who truly knows and does his job with such a high degree of precision and care. Even on guns that aren't the real high end guns. I believe that's because whether it had cost 20 thousand or 1 thousand to purchase, these owners are looking for the same high degree of precision and care for the guns they can afford and when it's sent to you, they get it.

Amazing work. Can't get enough of this.

my respect is increasing in watching each video !You are the Great mannn

It is incredible that artisan geniuses like this man still exist.

Wonderful job, thanks for sharing. Best choice for stock and double triggers are the only way to go. What a great gun. Larry you are more than just a very good business guy, a valuable craftsman!

The variety of your skills is impressive. I really appreciate the videos.

Man you are one hell of a good gunsmith, love your videos.

You're one hell of a tradesman!...respect!.

Good gravy, did that turn out a beauty! Nice work!

"join us next week as we glue a pistol grip extension on to a H&H Royal"

Great work on that project! Very nice.

I always find this very relaxing. How I wish, I could learn more.

Beautiful work, as always.

Impressive as always

Awesome sir, i love the way you work.

A master craftsman, very sure and neat. I did not know he could do this quality work.

what a beautiful work of art thank you

Beautiful work as always, and what I wouldn't give for a 20 gauge Winchester Model 21 like that one!!!

Amazing how nice that looks.

jesus f criminy!! just awesome larry. your work is bettered by no one. i stopped what i was doing to watch this video. truly the best stuff. thanks

Beautiful work,Sir!

That gun customisation is so satisfying to watch *_* beautiful craftsmanship

Wow, I am so impressed. When you started all I could think of were the ways this could go so wrong. With your caftsmanship it came out really well. I could do some of the other repairs on the action that you show in other videos but not this, it makes me nervous just thinking about it. Thanks

Very interesting project and very well executed.

What a remarkable quality job!

That one talented man. Great job.

Beautiful job! You're a real artiste'

at first I didn't want you to cut into the buttstock I thought you would ruin it but when you finished I was in love. great work!

WoW Fantastic work Mr Sir

I just love all your videos

Amazing work

With some practice Lary will make a name for himself😂!!! That hand checkering is an art in of itself. He's like John Moses Browning in our lifetime.

Larry Is one hell of a gun smith. I wish I was half this good I would be doing this for a living

Beautiful work.

Excellent video!

Salve sono un Siciliano non parlo inglese e tanto meno lo capisco. Ho guardo tutti i suoi video e di una cosa so certo persone come Lei con la sua professionalità e bravura non c'è ne sono. Complimenti

Nice job Larry

Very nice conversion.

Excellent video

Got a give the customers what they want ...wow you did a great job.... A lot of tips 2. ...great video .

Always a great artist !

😀😮😮😲 Amazing Work Larry 😎

Amazing ability, i only wish i had a 'man cave' as smart and as fully equipped as yours!

Larry’s an artist.

You,re a very good gunsmithing.

Fabulous. What a craftsman.

Great job sir

Everything this guy does is an easy process lol. He failed to mention its easy with 50 years of experience and every tool imaginable. That being said, I love this guy and all his videos. He is a master.

Amazing work ..well dune

i may not agree with the look but man Larry Potterfield you sure do some great high quality work!

Classy look, indeed!

Pocas veces he visto un video, que muestre a un Maestro Armero, trabajando, felicitaciones por su trabajo. Tengo mucha manualidad y he intentado algunos ensayos; esto me permite valorar su trabajo y saber que lo que parece fácil, mirando un video, es solo posible porque la mano de un Maestro lo hace posible. Gracias por compartirlo.

Wow. What a beautiful finished product! I wish you taught classes on gunsmithing, and refinishing. I love these videos, and would love to be able to do this kind of work. Quite a shop you have also. You are quite the artisan. Where did you learn?

skills like that are rare nowadays

Great viewing TY

You're an absolute wizard

I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your commentary for its wealth of information. But if you'll allow it I'll have a little moan about leaving out nearly all of your work on the checkering. I wasn't expecting you to include all of it obviously, but enough for us to get an idea of the process.

As we all should know, model 21s, are the the " nplus ultra" of the Winchester line, being hand crafted, to fit the end user! So many illuminaries, such as 4obert Stack, and so many of our beloved stars of old, required shotguns be intimately fitted, so they could get the most from their pride and joy... And the fit was always exquisite! Both in steel, and walnut!!!!

GREAT VIDEO WHAT GREAT TIPS

isso que tu fez, é uma obra de arte!

With a little know how, you can make that Winchester looks just as good or better than any Holland and Holland. Great video.

larry is an artist

Not only is he an ultra high networth ceo, he's also a humble master gunsmith

AWESOME! THE LOCAL GUNSMITH SAID $100 !!! LAUREL, MS

Great Video Thank you

Beautiful

eres un artista que buenos vídeos me encanta las paralelas saludos desde España

Amazing! Very Very Amazing!

Fasinating, fasinating! I would not have imagined how versitil the use of epoxy is here. (1) it wood tones correctly with sanding dust (2) checkers like the wood, (3) stains like the wood to blend in perfectly. I have a wrecked Parker stock, broken in half at the wrist that after gluing up I will use the 'Larry Epoxy Method' to deal with the cosmetics. Thanks for this gem of information!

That's impressive!!!!!

Man at 0:55 that 2nd one from the bottom sure is a beautiful gun!

Absolutely beautiful! Semper Fi
