D K I agree with U 100% I was thinking exactly the same thing full credit to you Mr Potterfield most of us watching this video feel the same respect for yourself

Exactly DK, it was an excellent example of human goodness and decency.

Fffgçç C c CV ffccccc c d dad did

@@tannerlemons46 Larry: :D Jack: :l *The look*: oi yu'ever ad a shotgun barrewl wrap round yer skol?

Me too!..Although dealing with the ATF can be a bitch.

We’re they near the jewelers quarter ? ( haven’t been home in a while )

I agree, my dad was an engineer and taught me many things that have served me well, he`s now gone and im 66, and my son does not listen he knows best, Jack is a joy to watch. a true craftsman im from the UK and love these videos.

john g true storie.

There is most definately a difference between English from the US and English from GB. I'd bet you couldn't understand the eglish spoken in my neck of the woods by some folks.

amazing people,,never seem to get over excited,, a cup of tea ''Keep and carry on.''

Aldins89, I think you failed to get the English humour.

Englishman French then so did Larry :-)

aldins89 Yes I take your point, but that is because our Larry is not English either, I think you would agree that the final result ended with an action that was as good as it was when first made, that is all we can hope for,had the gun been one from a top maker, it would have been better in the first place, that is why it would have cost more to start with.

These guns were bargain basement guns when they were first manufactured, even though it is a nice looking old English gun, it was a budget item, they were never constructed with the precision of a fitted English gun like a Purdey, for example. Jack knows exactly how to work these guns and to bring them back into their as new fitting. When he says nearly is good enough, that is exactly how these guns were manufactured back in the day, and that is why English shotguns are still in use often well over 100 years after they were first manufactured. You can buy a budget English gun and it will easily outlast you and your son. They were made long before CNC machines were in existence by craftsmen, the type of guys under whom Jack would have served his apprenticeship to learn the skills that have been in use since guns were first produced in Birmingham and are still being learned today by apprentices at English gun manufacturers.

Hell we only charge 60 bucks an hour at my shop.

Mr Rowe knew that. He was saying that was sometimes the attitude back in the day when those guns were manufactured, not that he was saying he was okay with it being near enough now.

Kevin P OOPS! Got it and thank you.

He's got soft lead jaws in the vice! It won't damage the metalwork on an action.

If you did that though the ends of the pin would no longer match the curves of the action block. If you could live with that though there’s no reason why it wouldn’t work.

Half as good as Jack is still good to most people

+Jager Tools are a dispensable item the job is not.

Shame old boy jack passed away

When you get to be his age you too can shamelesly drag your files.

Because aging is an "accomplishment", right? Dragging files makes for more work and harder work. Kind of the opposite of what an "old timer" would want if he's inclined to be "lazy" simply because he's "old". But go with that stupid excuse if it works for you. Old Jack is long dead so he couldn't give two shits either way.

@@deeremeyer1749 The guys got over 60 years experience, he was filing things before your parents were born. Sit down and shut up.

Not everyone in England is super wealthy ! It took me nearly a year to save up the $ 75,000 for my first Holland & Holland.

If it only took you a year to come up with 75k I'd say you're pretty well off.

rusty shackelfurd Not now I spent the money on my H&H, but it was worth the wait.It is interesting to note that although the parts are now grunted out on a CNC programme there is still the same hand fitting that is shown here, just the chiselling out from a lump of steel is bypassed .

I believe they are worth the money. I hope to atleast beable to hold and shoot one some day.

rusty shackelfurd, You will get one some day like I did, one from the 1930s is just as nice (or even better) and will not break the bank.

Alex Rank try different ammo
