With the right tools, and a little bit of time, disassembly of a boxlock is a pretty straightforward process. Watch along as Jack Rowe and Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, disassemble the boxlock of an old double.

This old gent has probably forgotten more than we'll ever know! Great stuff, I love the way he says "chuck it in the box"! If I did that I'd forget which bit belongs where!

My sentiments exactly, the old boy certainly is a living encyclopaedia, if you didn't know any better you might think he's in his dotage..big mistake! I too loved the way he just flicked the parts away as he was finished with them! Total confidence!

I got an old boxlock - and have been sneaking up on total disassembly - and I appreciate this video so much. I learned a lot - like, that I need to make special screwdrivers for this gun - almost like chisels. The screws have hand-made super-thin slots with decorative patterns across the heads - which are very beautiful, but very hard to turn without messing up. So, now I know! And now I have a basic idea of what I'm getting into - mechanically - and I had to laugh every time I heard 'chuck it in the bin' - that's exactly what I do. That chucking motion. The defiant, I'm still in the game, it took all my power, but I did it! chuck. Thank you!

What an amazing Gentleman, with an absolute WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE and this was a truly amazing video and the most impressive thing about this video is that Jack just rolls along naming each component as he strips this shotgun down to its bare bones, without a hitch!!! Now, I'm going to watch him put it back together with the same precision as he disassembled it!!! I almost feel inspired to do the same thing to my FEG CONTINENTAL 200 12 GAUGE SXS but it also has EJECTORS and they have me a little concerned...Lol...AH!! Who am I kidding here, I'm scared to death to try this on my FEG 200!!! :) Thank You for a Great Video!!!

This man is a master craftsmen but if I or anyone I kn ow tried to do this we would have a pile of nothing but parts with no idea of what to do with them or if they were in good or bad shape etc. Even If I copied this video and reverse engineered it for hours and hours I would end up with nothing but an unusable and probably very dangerous shotgun. This video just makes it clear to me that I should not mess with something I know nothing about. I have a cheap side by side 20 guage with a problem that I see may not be worth repairing since it will probably cost more to repair than it is worth.

+Ed noyb look, im not trying to be disrespectful. but isnt a part of life learning and gaining knowledge ? just go for it, tear it apart, figure out what makes it tick. Learn to fix it, either by internet, books or figuring it out. every new firearm i purchase i field strip it then tear it down further so i know what goes where, any firearm in my house i could field strip and assemble in the dark. So get after it man. I'm not a "professional gunsmith" or master of the arts, but i would tell you to stay away from shaving anything, at least for now. a couple years back i bought a H&R pardner, grew up on a 20 gauge model, mines a 12 though, anyway i bought it and the barrel release was loose wiggly and wobbly, so i took it apart, took out the hammer, the trigger, obviously took off the barrel, came to the conclusion the notch thats ON the barrel was too high, so i slowly shaved it down, and what do ya know? the barrel release is no longer wobbly wiggly n loose. so just do it man.

My inexpensive shotgun is a side by side, double trigger 20 gauge that cost me $100.oo at a gun show. It worked fine for about 20 hunting trips and then I heard a rattle in the receiver area and it stopped firing. It is not the firing pin I checked that out. It is somewhere inside the receiver. I know something came loose or broke and yes I could take it apart but I need to be real careful to record where everything is and hopefully where it belongs. As the video shows though is that it is a little more critical than just putting things back for a gun to work properly and especially to be safe. Yes I could attempt to repair it and I may. But I am not going to just go for it and blow my hand off or blind myself or whatever over a $100.oo shotgun. I like this shotgun very much but not more than my well being. .
