These aren't just guns, they are a work of art using skills passed on from generation to generation. We can only hope small gunmakers such A.A.Brown will be in business for years to come. Best guns at value for money prices.

Beautiful work...man!!

Many thanks for taking the effort to make this video Mr Brown.

Love watching "Smart" old dudes work! I Pray and Hope to BE One some day! I am going to give this a try! WELL DONE Good Sir. My Charcoal will come from my soured mass, my bone from my hens, maybe some blue stone in my mix.

Is there really any point in de-greasing and ultrasonically cleaning if you are then going to get a load of finger grease on the parts? Possibly better results by wearing latex gloves?

Marvellous, great that you are recording the process and your skill.

Magnificent! Thank you for posting this video.

A fascinating video. You should make more showing the complete process of making the gun. I think it would make a good TV program.

Wonderful work!

Excellent results! Although you would probably have like a few more red/brown colours in there, you will be doing St Ledger out of a job! You are using copper wire ? Have you thought of using soft black iron wire ? I would have thought the temperature would be near to the melting point of copper, if you hang a ring on your furnace tongs to hold the arms together , it will take a lot of load off you when carrying and manoeuvring the crucible, nice to see someone using proper forge tongs rather than the usual mole grips we see on here. Stay safe ! Chris B.

Where are y’all located out of? Absolutely beautiful work

I love the video, but after you run them through the ultrasonic cleaner, you handle the parts to pack them.Does that effect anything?

Beautiful finish. Is there any advice you can give to avoid distortion?

Wouldn't it be better to just submerge the vessel, rather than dump it ? Keeping the carbon rich charcoal in direct contact with the metal , that also seems the more likely way it was done in days gone by, have you ever tried that ? & what were the results ?

The only sad thing about this video is that this kind of craftmanship is so rare unlike 100-150 years ago when basically any gun at any procepoint could be had with color case hardened.....

What temp are the heat cycles?…keen to try out on a knife finish

Can you make one in StatTrak?

I would like to to buy you a pint at your local.

Beautiful results without all of the finicky stuff in other videos.

Where is this?
