How to Reline a 22 Rimfire Rifle Barrel Presented by Larry Potterfield | MidwayUSA Gunsmithing 

When he said “be careful with this screw”, I knew it best to stop right there.

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!

I knew you are able to re line or sleeve a .22 but never seen it done. WOW! This video is awesome to watch!

Met him at Shot a few years back Larry was very humble and kind, Thanks for you're how to videos.

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.

Larry, you make the most mundane projects look and sound interesting. This is way beyond my ability but watching you do it is an educational experience. Thanks man. I own nine .22 rimfire rifles and one handgun. Really like seeing videos about rimfires.

I love seeing these projects... sort of like reading the newspaper each day, but only gun maintenance with repair. That's one heck of a newspaper!

When I started gunsmithing, the only way to secure a barrel liner was by Silver-soldering it in place. Loctite and Acraglas have made it so much easier, I often wonder how we managed back then.

Enjoied the video.. Thanks!!!! Just bought a 63. It was the first gun i ever shot, i was 8 and it was 1960... Very sililar to the 1903 in the video. First time in my hands in 60 years. Keep on doin what you do brother.... Great job!

You have the ability to inspire people to love and cherish guns!

This is an incredible demonstration of craftsmanship and the skilled use of machine tools.

amazed at the craftsmanship of some guns...all the work and creative thinking that went into making each part

Way to bring that fine piece back to life. Yet another great video. Thanks.

what an extremely skilled man Larry is.

This guy is the king of making hard stuff look easy lol

There’s not doubt Larry is one of a kind and that was a great video!

Better than brand new! Amazing detail on your work!

Great video. I have old tools but, I'm sure they will work fine. Just takes patients. This video gives me a leg up as to the proper sequence to do the job. Thanks Larry.

A beautiful rifle, only usable as a wall ornament until this was done to it. Now, it is able to be enjoyed, as intended. Cool video.

I think Larry is an encyclopedia for all things firearms.

Beautifully done with much skill & care. Well Done Sir

Reminds me of going into the shop with my grandpa. He made everything he did look easy despite the fact that it took years to develop those skills.

Great to watch a master work! Great video!

love it, great video showing how much work goes into these jobs :) thanks for making the video and uploading

Very informative. Great video, Larry !

Love your videos. Keep posting new videos!

Good job Larry, i love Midwayusa!

If my Remington number four in 32 long rim fire stars to wander, I will surely reline it just as you did this 22 rifle. The number 4 Remington is a beautiful work of art and I do treasure mine. That is why I reload the 32 rimfire, a very tedious process, but I enjoy it. Thank you for your video.

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.

After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel ru-vid.comUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! 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!

very interesting piece of film. thanks for sharing. craftsmanship at it's best!

Awesome video. What a great profession being skilled in gunsmithing.

Mr Potterfield, you are awesome! Longtime happy customer here 😁

Really enjoyed your working spirit and knowledge... Great Job

Great work Larry.

I've always bought square shank screwdrivers just for that reason but I never thought about putting wrench on a screw bit! Now I know and know is half the battle.

I am never going to use this information i just acquired. Thank you, wonderful video.

There's nothing you can't do with a shop full of expensive tools and a whole lot of know how.

you are indeed a craftsman. you have my respect and admiration.

what a master so good at what he does

I wish I had a shop like that and of course the knowledge to go along with it!!

That was an awesome video. Would have figured it was a wall hanger. But you taught me something here

Wow! Mr.Potterfield is talented!

Truly fun and educational, thank you

Outstanding presentation

These are great videos!

I haven't used Green Loctite, but have used the Red to hold a part for grinding and getting the part off after, it took a propane torch to get the part SMOKING hot before the Red Loctite let loose. Very tough stuff.

great job sir, greetings from Brazil.

Now that was pretty cool. I always wondered how you install a barrel liner

thanks LARRY

Man, Larry can do it all!

I am amazed this can be done with Loctite or other adhesives. Technology is wonderful.

Amazing work...

Nice work, all sorts of cool.

Amazing work.

Thank you Mr. Potterfield For the content you put out

Cool ! Take care! Peace ✌️ from Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Love your vids! True master!

Thanks for the video. Had no idea you could revive an old shot out rifle like this.

Great instructional thanks again

Great video!

Finally a master gunsmith with well produced, knowledgeable videos. If I could pick your brain....

I want a shirt with his smile and "let me show you how it's done" on it.

The world's best gunsmith

You the man Larry

That could be done in 22 mag with just a different reamer . Id like to find a wornout one myself and do the magnum 22 round . Trouble is finding that type gun cheap enough. Love your videos Larry and midway .

This kind of knowledge and expertise needs to be passed down to the generations to come for many obvious reasons. Here's hoping that's happening

I wish I wasn't disabled, I would love to do this kind of work. You look and act like you love your job. And you are really good at it.

I LOVE this Channel and Larry too xD

Wow, amazing video

Gostei muito do seu serviço, com certeza esse Rifle ficou perfeito pra caçar.. parabéns ao Armeiro.!!

I just subscribed, you got some really interesting videos.

This man loves his job 😍

Very cool sir. Nice rifle.

Excellent work"""

Amazing work of Art

A beautiful thing to watch. What a craftsman.

Thank you Larry

Quality work, must be so satisfying i really enjoyed watching that.

why this channel only have 140 k subscribe, i found this channel facenating and educating, i am very interested, even iam not even american

Outstanding!Thxs so much.

Nice job like your workshop.

I love my CZ firearms, and I would not trade any of my CZ handguns for a Glock, etc. If I had to go out on business, and could take only one pistol, it would be a CZ. I am looking forward to getting a SP-01 Phantom as my next firearms purchase. Thanks for this great story! I had the chance to go for a night of beer and friendship with some representatives from the Czech Republic. Drank us all under the table, and they were just getting warmed up! Absolutely wonderful people.

I gave a old Model 12 Remington to a gunsmith for a bbl insert. He did a wonderful job and gun works perfectly. I had no idea how much work he had to do to get it done and only charged me $180. After seeing this, I stole that job.

Larry is the man

I like watching him fix firearms.On the other hand I think he's just showing off.Who has all that equipment and money like he does.

Perfect candidate to switch from 22lr to 22mag.

Jesus!!! I want this guy cleaning/servicing my guns!!!!

Everything a master craftsman does looks easy

great video thanks

I've always wanted a .22 rolling block.

Trabalho perfeito. Parabens

Real wholesome repair hours.

great work GOD bless tom strassell

Beautiful.

Interesting vid. I'm a machinist, but don’t have any gunsmithing skills. I always enjoy your work! I wonder what you really listen to though.

nice work

Good job. I was waiting to see if it shot good after all that work. And I get nothing. Nice video, thank you

Good video.

Excellent.
