Beautiful. This is why, instead of bluster about a better way, one simply needs to demonstrate on video and we all learn. Thank you to all the sensible minds that made this video possible.

Very valuable follow up. That right there is why You are one of the best.

My grandpa passed away in 2020 and left me his lc smith shotgun I was ignorant but wanted to learn the mechanics of the double barrel. Was never able to get the shotgun back together and had it in the back of storage and the front of my mind for years. Until I had enough fuck it in me to start deep diving in videos. And I eventually found yours two weeks ago and started getting all the tools and I can say tonight monday the 5th of February I was able to fire his shotgun again thank you so much for your video.

I appreciate you taking the time to clearly and completely cover important details that you wish to share with us. I know it took you probably an hour of total labor to create the video, edit, upload, etc. etc. Thank you.

I'm notching a screwdriver posthaste.

Mark, thank you, honestly it's been so long since I put mine together I cannot remember how I did it. I just remember that the last time I tried it I got so frustrated that I put it up and over a decade later it still sits in the shop in parts. I will give your method a try, I cannot see why it won't work and get this old gun put back together.

"Schreibal kunde'! I wanted to be gun smith at age 12. Watching you I am glad I didn't become one. Thanks for sharing!

Great video Mark.

Things like this make me wonder how & why the factory did it. I used to work on cars and I found that a lot of times, engineers designed things more complicated than needed.

I visualized something like this when I first watched the other LC smith video. I must be learning something! Keep up the great content :D

Great video. Great process. Thanks Mark.

Simple once you see it done. Thanks very much for sharing and filling in that blank from the original video.

Thanks Mr Novak

Love your videos just never enough. Really disappointed that you aren't as big as demo. Anyways I'd rather watch your videos and get learnt something.👍

Never ceases to amaze me of the fine slotted screws gun makers use knowing a weapon has to worked on in its lifetime.

Mark Thank you for another great video I look forward to seeing them. God bless.

Well done!

Beautifully done. Cheers from WA State.

Bravo Sir. ❤

That is great to see. I have been using a jig and drill the hole to press the spring. Thank you Mark.

Outstanding explanation, thank you again for the continued education.

Always important, tappy, tap tap!

Thanks Mark

I made a jig that fits into the lock mortise in the receiver. It has a 1/4 20 threaded rod with a point turned on the end. I clamp the jig in the receiver in a vise. With little effort I turn the screw against the spring and install the trigger plate with no effort, no risk of mangling the screw hole or slipping and gouging the metal and certainly no risk of damaging the stock

Honking spring fight taken care of.

Thanks for the video

Great tip.

You are getting very good at working on firearms. Have you considered making a living at it ?? 🙂

Looks like another great design of the Era lol

Thank you sir for another informative video six stars sir

Off topic Mark, but if you ever figure out how they made that one cut in the back of a Martini Henry action, it deserves a video.

This damn process is like harmonics

Very similar to what I had to do to reassemble my customers

👍👍👍

Thank you very much Mark!! I have two of these to do. When you are boiling, pure water, correct?

Great video, do you have one to show how you got the main spring in the receiver?

Is a LC Smith trigger double barrel model as difficult or tricky to work on?

Where do you get replacement barrels for LC Smith side by sides ? The one's on the gun now are Damascus twist barrels and one is visibly bulged.

That “honking spring how to you put it back in. If it’s out

Rather than a punch, could a 4-40 machine screw be used? Looks like this would assure no damage to the threads.

I can’t find carpet padding like you have on your vice. Help me!

How do I get in touch with you to conserve my husband's lc smiths? He says you are the only one he would let do that.

I don't like those LC Smiths now

If you don't continue to learn and adapt, you're a woke Californian.
