Whitneyville Kennedy ReBarrel
Added 2021-11-10 17:44:57 +0000 UTCThis one took 4 sittings and we aren't done yet, but I think today is the day she eats again!
The old barrel had been cut back so many times as to be useless, and is pictured above the relined octagon barrel and new, repop mag tube. The forend was an absolute mess, and the hammer hook/trigger interface was unsafe. The center of this episode is the forend repair, and we discuss the math/geometry of the trigger setup. We filmed the complete stoning setup, and did a trigger job. I have been hesitant to show this procedure in public as a tiny bit on knowledge usually proves to be dangerous...! However, you might find the procedure to determine the 104 degree hammer hook angle and the execution with the stones interesting.
I'm just catching the inside of a one year turn on major projects, and I haven't taken in any new work in months. Stay frosty if you are one of those folks.
Many cigars were offered up in this endeavor, most into a needle nosed roach clip.

2021-11-16 05:25:09 +0000 UTCThe way you used the dowel to align the stone with the hammer was genius!!!!! to think I was going to spend the 300 plus "pesos" for a similar gadget...

2021-11-11 02:47:17 +0000 UTCNice job. Please explain/sketch the locking mechanism when you do the video. I understand the Burgess/Kennedy was the first repeater to chamber .45-70.

2021-11-11 00:04:38 +0000 UTCI still have two single action cylinders I need to get to you. I don't have anything too special in cigars, bit I am good at finding distilled sprits. One distillery in particular is located in Charleston. Are you familiar with High Wire Distillary? Their New Southern Revival Brand Jimmy Red Straight Bourbon Whiskey,

2021-11-10 19:26:21 +0000 UTCa friend of mine said "custom work takes custom time" while my piss poor self esteem says that I am not doing custom work, I can completely believe in the sentiment that the phrase delivers.
