Hi, I am 71, live in New Zealand and have the same shotgun, my shotgun was brought out to NZ around 1920s by a young American boy who had a job offer on a South Island farm. He spent the rest of his life on this large farm, I managed to buy the gun for 60.00 nz dollars after his death from old age. I will always keep it. Your grandad would be proud of you for putting the time and effort in the restoration of his gun. Good skills and great work. ....Barry Nz

The fact it was your grandfather’s gun .. makes it even more sweeter.. great 👍🏼 work..

These old single shots were especially good to teach kids with. Nice work on keeping it old.😊

I love that you didn’t make it look like some recreation of the original rifle. It looks like an old gun, and that’s the best thing about it. Beautiful restoration.

Прекрасно, Петрович! Отлично, Филиппыч! Браво, Иваныч!

This guy is a gun smith extraodinaire. Fantastic, unbelievable work. Thank you for posting.

I once did a similar restoration and finished it off by painting the entire single shot shotgun with Rustolium Olive Drab Paint. Yes, It is ugly as sin, but still knocks the squirrels out of the trees. I'll give you FIVE STARS+++++ on your works. Dang Good Job!!!!!!

I have an old Ivers-Johnson that belonged to my Grandfather. Made in the early 60’s, it’s in good shape, still has a strong spring in the hammer. Enjoyed your video, especially the woodworking.

One of the best videos on the internet by far. Beautiful work.

I just had my grandfathers Iver Jonson restored, fully operational condition. Love the etching on the stock and stain.

Хорошо обновил старичка- похожего на ИЖ номер 5. Удачи!

Very cool I love seeing new life breathed into old "junk"

Pleasure to watch a man, who know what he is doing. Great job❤

It would be nice without the music. The wood job and protecting the viewers eyes while welding, deserved a like. 👍

Un vero maestro armaiolo d'altri 🏛. Bravo.

Very good job, excellent.

Great job! I'm getting ready to work on a Reminton model 11 thats been past down for generations. It's put food on tables for 100 plus years.

I have my grandfathers Iver Johnson in 20 gauge. Good job! They are famous for the stock cracking. Cheers

Attic? Looks like it was found buried in the yard. I got a Savage Stevens single shot 20 gauge for my 12th birthday in 1972. Still looks like the day I opened it.

Congratulations!!! He sent the restoration very well, it was top!!

Old single shots are amazing in their simplicity and history

I have one of these that belonged to my Grandfather. I did a little bit of maintenance on it and shot it a couple times. Awesome job

Beautifully done!

You're an artist!

My dad has an old Iver Johnson "Champion" .410 that he inherited from his grandfather. The "notches" on firearms stocks is called "checkering".

What a very nice project. It looks great and I'm sure it would shoot too. The hand checkering looks good as well. You need to invest in some checkering tools and make the checkering even finer. Thumbs Up!

Such a nice job,you are quite the craftsman

Beatiful job, done with love and respect

Excellent restoration Bro, Theo got beautiful.

Beautiful job. Thank you

You have given it a new lease of life , excellent refurbishment in my opinion, Su

Looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Never seen a Iver Johnson 1909 with birch wood before . All mine from late 1800s through 1968 was walnut. Guess there's a first for everything . Good job .

Nice restoration. Congrats.

Your wood working skills are impressive…

Well done, sir!

Good job on your restoration. I really liked how you used a hacksaw blade to checker the wood stock. Very nicely done.

Nice restoration. You did very well. 🙂🙂

Meu avô tinha uma igual a essa. Calibre 28 . Usei ela muito . Parabéns pelo trabalho .

Very nice restoration 👍

This guy is a master

Complimenti gran bel lavoro sono contento perché finalmente vedo un fucile uguale al mio👍👍💪💪💯🌈🌹

Nicely done

Masterpiece!

БРАВО Мастер !

Wow, beautiful weapon 👍

😮😮top parabéns ficou linda boa noite 🇧🇷

Remember en Iver Johnson’s shop in downtown Boston years ago…..

I built a stock for my dads. His is a southern arms, but it looks the same. He got it for $50.

Que buen trabajo tengo una igual en calibre 20 era de mi abuelo saludos desde colombia

Excellent work. How long did the job take, a few weeks? A test fire would have been awesome!

Nice job on the gun

I would have liked to see you shoot it! Nice work, especially the fabrication and wood working

Good job 👏 👍

Wow what a beautiful job love the hand checkering came out great great job on the video thanks

It turned out to be a beautiful rifle. Well done!

Awesome job. Glad you restored the shotgun. What gauge is it ❤❤

Parabéns pelo trabalho amigo onde compra esse produto pra deixar preto e qual o nome .

Very well done. I hope that it still fires.

Granddad would be proud...

Good job. Im sure your grand father would be proud of you. The stock looks great. If it were mine, id cut the barrel down to 18 inches and thread it so it could take chokes. Id also put a glow sight on the barrel.

Cool! I have one from 1902 (ish) (01 & 02 Ptd dates) in good shootable condition except for a cracked butt stock, which I'm considering making a new one from some walnut I have on hand.

Very incredibly work!. I have my granfathers 20 guage and it is identical to yours. Very same design but mine was made in 1913 by MwcMenders out of oak leaf new york. What is that product you blue that with?

Great job! I would have liked to see how you filled the hole in the underside of the barrel? Please advise how you did that? Greetings from South Africa

That’s incredible You know it’s real restoration when it’s not blue-green fondant and they don’t put the gun in gun juice

🙈👏👏👏 çok emek verdiniz

Amazing! Man, I wonder what his day job is, I'd love to know!
