..an old beauty, brought back to life, good job..

This restoration could not be more text book perfect. You did everything right so as to conserve the value of the gun as an antique. One suggestion, use screwdrivers that fit the slot exactly, as using a narrower screwdriver could mar the screw.

Im still impressed with your mechanical knowledge that you seem to know how to take anything and everything apart in just a few seconds. When i was a kid i used to drive my mom crazy taking apart the remote control to the tv and stuff and never being able to put it back together. Great video andre, that shotgun is a handsome devil.

There's just something about a simple old fashioned double barrel shotgun that I just love.

Un bon Saint-Etienne bien conservé comme si il datait d' hier! c' Est remarquablement bien restaurer, bravo!...

Amazing job. Your restorations always are top tier!

Great restoration on an antique firearm. Great job!!!

J' ai exactement le même en deux exemplaires, un court et un long, ils sont magnifiques !

Another great video and a beautiful gun brought back to life.

What a nice video. Andre shows he is a really good gunsmith and he doesn't assault our ears with Loud Garbage called Modern Music! Very nice Andre. Thank you.

There is something special about a weapon that has such beautiful patina and wear on it. The job you performed to it was excellent.

It's awesome very intelligent cleaning (restoration) . Well done Andre

What a great restoration project. Really good job, once again. Hope you have a Happy New Year. Cheers!

Another masterpiece. Well done.

Beautiful restoration!

Beautiful gun, you did a perfect job cleaning it!

That must be a valuable shotgun. Very nice.

Old side by sides are my love ...really nice job..

Absolutely beautiful.

That's a beautiful firearm. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. You're very talented.

It's still gorgeous!

Thanks for this video. I own an exact same gun. Now I know how to start cleaning :-)

Good job Andre!

Really beautifull gun and deserved a nice restoration, well done !

What would the before and after price be on this? You did amazing work!

Just love a straight hand stock hammer gun.

Very amazing work !! Love your videos ! The steel will not rust ?

Awesome job bro. You are really talented.

Beautiful gun and excellent restoration 👍

Love the old guns. Where do you find these gems?

Man.. Dang I was going to say it was beautiful.

great job !!!! bravo !!!

Hey Andre! I recently started collecting old guns and one special gun in my collection is a mint condition AG42 Ljungman rifle. It has never been used and the stock have never even been oiled. My first question is should i save the gun like it is, without oiling it to preserve it or should i oil it? If i choose the second option what oil should i use?

Beautiful lever break . Time for me to do the research on MC 51 & Brunox . Do you plan to blue finish , or would that reduce the collector value ? Thanks for your video .

Good job bravo super

Beautiful weapon.

Excellent

I would have had to put on a lacquer clear coat for the wood and buff the metal parts to a mirror finish. But that's just me, you probably did the right thing.

WOW like it had been build yesterday. très chic

Как называется ружье? У меня почти такое только рычаг открывания стволов отжимается вперёд а не в бок, и под правым курком выгравировано название города роан. Ответь пожалуйста.

Now that... Is a Super Shotgun.

Although beautiful, isn't the bare metal finish prone to rust? Would blueing the parts ruin the authenticity?

Love Your videos! Amazing job! Well done! Regards from Russia!

good job !!! which product do you use to clean ?

I started watching this thinking please don't sand the stock please don't sand the stock lol beautiful resto the gun looks great 😊👍

Nice!

Welcome back! And this looks like a beautiful under-lever shotgun! Can't wait to now watch the video.

Look at that beauty

un beau cal 16 !!

Are those Damascus barrels and did you ring them

Looks great :) What guage?

What a beautiful gun. I'm sure that many viewers would enjoy seeing her fired ??

Working on a family peace right now, just like the one here… But I do have some repairs, a broken tweezer spring on the left sode barrel. Is it still possible to get parts nowadays?

Очень красиво! Труд достойный уважения!

Isn’t that an English made by Samuel Ebrall of Shrewsburg, or just Ebrall Brothers between 1843-1891 in UK??

This make me proud of my country

i live next to Saint Etienne (the Weapon manufacture of France.... very famous in France since 1764, with a lot of excellent "artisan" in all the county) Good Job !!!!!!!! Perhaps some "Jaspé" bluing on the mechanisme will give a perfect finish to this gun !

my man, i like u shoot test it after repair.....thx so much

The inner part of the barrel seems in very good conditions considering the age

That stock and fore grip should be a beautiful rich red, you can see some of it on the stock still. If I were you and I’m not, this is just my opinion. I’d buy Myles Gilbert stock finish remover it’s a not a real harsh product so it won’t damage the stock and then submerge it in acetone until all the oil draws out, usually takes 2-3 days if the oil is saturated all the way through and it looks like it is. After the oil draws out let the stock dry for atleast 48 hours and then refinish it. They also make a tool to re-do that cross hatch pattern but I honestly kind of like the way it’s worn down it stays true to the age of the gun but you could do it and not take away from the value.

Merci monsieur

Oh that was lovely! 1887.... Can you still get black powder shotgun shells in Europe? Did you use tung or linseed oil on the stock and forearm?

Am i the only one who misses the weird rattling sound when you werre filming intro and outro shots? It felt like that was your way to talk to us

I wonder where he goes to get these old guns. I am looking into restoring some antiques and need a place that provides old beat up guns for cheap. If anyone has any recommendations for me they would be most appreciated.

Where do you find this stuff ?

So many little parts! Who would’ve thought that!

Does it work?

I have the exact same one above my inglenook fireplace .

If you have to do that, use a Scrub Bud. Soft steel with no sharp edges.

disculpen alguien me podría desir como se llama el liquido que ocupa para limpiar toda la capa de sarro, y quede asi de limpia gracias.

Donde puedo encontrar ,cañones como esos???

I understand several languages I wish you would speak and narrate your videos you do very good work

Looks like maybe 16 gauge?

R.I.P LF.

What brand of French shotgun ? Darne?

There is one on sale, exactly that one. I am thinking of getting it and restoring it like you. I’ve saved and i have your vid as a instruction manual. Do you think i should get it, please. Need help deciding

I have seen someone steal this video what should i do ?

العزيزة هذي تحفة

Have a Double barrel percussion cap muzzle loader that has been passed down from wife’s side of family. Both hammers are missing and right barrel is blown out about 6” from end. Engraving says Chevallier in Ceres. Can’t find any info on line concerning the gun. Story goes that GG Grandfather carried during Civil War. He fought all the way from Nine Mile to Savannah. Is there any info concerning this gun?

Hey, how is your pony? :) Is she okay?

It shoot?

Man your work is BEEEEEEAUTIFUL. I get quite excited with antique weapons. Also I'm quite drunk right now

How much price

Eu já cacei com uma dessa daí nos anos 80 são muito boas mesmo

wouldent they be makers marks, i thought proof marks were for armor, where a piece of armor gets shot to prove its bulletproof?

きれい

Adoro armas antigas sou fam dos teus videos Brasil Rio Grande do Sul froteira com Uruguai.me manda uma de presente😅😅🤝

It looks like the Sauer M30 Luftwaffe drilling

This gun is saint etiene???

Ça vient de Saint-Etienne, chui tellement fier de mon patelin mdr

What gun is this exactly?

How about your pony could you do a video about how she's doing and the stables

I genuinely love your videos man , how you break down that beautiful french piece of Art and slowly bringing the life back to its charm ! I subconsciously wish I could do that to my permanently damaged soul , take it apart piece by piece , degrease them with the MC51 and applying the rust remover on hard to reach areas , and some natural oil to bring back the sparkle , lol may be I'm just weird here Again love your work , keep making more of them 😁

I have one of those guns that was in perfect working order, until it broke a trigger spring, does anyone indicate a place where to find this part to repair?

hello man! i am from brazil and i love your work, i thing you should invite me to be your auxiliar and open one school about restoration.=)

Precisa escopeta

Ive Watched Like 4 Of Your Videos And Im Just Now Realizing theres NO Sound.

Hey Andre, you don't have to buff off the Blued finish along with the rust! Curio & Rsenal did a gunsmithing video where they showed that you can convert rust back into the original gun blue by boiling the parts then buffing with extremely fine wheels. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJiDrLFn0pmdqGg.html here is the video at the timestamp where he begins talking about it and then shows the result, It's quite impressive.

Pour les gilets jaunes.

Hey I'm early...How bout da
