Thank you for providing us with lockdown entertainment.

Wow, what a wonderful face lift you gave to that rifle. I just finished refurbishing a Win 1873, 136 years old, and it came out great. It was totally covered in surface rust with no deep pits. The wood was slightly worn but no cracks. Light filing, sanding and engraving to prepare it for a refinishing job. I need a Leica like yours :) Must keep all of the edges and transitional areas clean and crisp. Follow the steps that the original craftsman would have followed. Old factory pictures and videos are so valuable. Great job!

Your patience, perfection, and pure talent boggles my mind. Nice work so far and I'm looking forward to the rest!

Brilliant job Andre, keeping the flats on the octagonal barrel equal in size while striking up is painstaking work

Thank you for demonstrating that it takes slow, careful working of files and sandpaper BY HAND to get a finished product such as this. Many people would have butchered this receiver with power tools simply because they are impatient.

WOW. What a great job.... congratulations on your talents ! An absolute pleasure to watch...

The reciever and barrel look brand new, keep up the good work

Amazing work. I’m hoping we’ll get to see you shoot it when it’s done.

Damn this is teasing you drawing it out like this :P We need Part 4 now LOL. VERY fine work so far - very impressed, and in gun restoration, I am hard to impress!

Awesome job so far. Glad to see you bring it back to its original beauty and not just doing a quick resto

The way that rifle is coming along so far is nothing less than impressive. I'm ~really~ looking forward to the next video.

Nice work 😆👍 stay safe

I appreciate your hard work...👍

Great work. I'm waiting eagerly 👋👏👍

Oh my God, you also engraving ! You're really imptessive. Amazing vidéo !

Double WOW!! I didn't even know bone charcoal was a thing! Can't wait for the final outcome.

Can't wait to see this baby assembled

Oh nice! Great to see more so soon

You are a master of your craft, kudos.

Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing this. Cheers!

You are an artist.

Superb sir your work is simply amazing and a honor to watch I need someone like you here in the states I have a few old rifles I would love to have restored

OUTSTANDING!

Absolutely incredible and amazing!!!!

Too cool. It's coming along nicely, can't wait to see the final result.

My father has a 38-40 lightning with a round barrel. I haven't looked at it lately but last i remember that it was in really nice condition. The wood is beautiful with the checkering still in great condition as well. So after seeing what condition yours is in I am really impressed with your progress, can't wait to see all the next videos. Keep up the good work!

Looking forward. Well done

Thankyou for another great video

Não vejo a hora de vê-la totalmente reformada. Tenho certeza que ficará incrível .

Very nice work!

Can't wait for the next instalment Andre.

Awesome , my fellow replyers have said it all . Can't wait to see the final results.

Epic!

Nice ! The steels are already like a new . A little more steps and it will be like it was never used ! Good job by the way

Lots of hours in this restore, my great grand father had an old gun passed down to his son, then to me.Took me over 63 hours, but man it came out pretty..This one will also ,Nice job so far,S ee Ya

Woo hoo!!!!! 3 in a week!

At school I remember using bone meal in a bag, regular charcoal, scraps of bone, leather and a little newspaper to eat up any oxygen in the sealed container, I wish I could remember the temperature and for how long ? to heat the color case hardened parts. Use a small air hose in the water barrel under a chicken wire cage to increase the colors.

Bone charcoal! You survived the smell, the rest is easy! (Not really...). Thanks for sharing!

I can’t decide whether it’s restored or ruined... that age it had aquired took many many untold stories. I kinda wish you’d made it better on inside and left that gorgeous outside alone ... I hope you understand what I mean !

cool

Exelente video yo también me dedico a la reparación de armas

The filing and sanding hurt my soul a bit, but it's not like you had much to work with. Good job so far.

Love you

Amazing work. Think ur fingers and arms getting tired of all the sanding 🤔😄

🇹🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

All with hand tools, even making your own bone charcoal...just brilliant 👍👍👍

Very good work! and the interior of the barrell? that would be a challenge. A professional gunsmith?

will andre do it? tune in next time for another exciting episode of American classic to find out

What country are you from?

Awesome labor of love indeed. Thank you very much for sharing. A beautiful background view when you were working with the bone burning. GOD Bless All and GOD Bless The Republic!!! What is the brand/device tool that you used to look inside the barrel? What brand is the magnifier you where using to see to etch the original markings with?

That barrel is the length of ... something long.
