I have been gunsmithing for over 40 years and this kind of work is a labor of love. Everybody 'wants' a rifle like this, but few are willing to pay for them. Thank you for a video that shows people a small portion of the hours that go into building a custom rifle. People didn't get to see the engraving work, gold inlay or color case hardening process, all additional time.
вы правы !))) я тоже обратил на это внимание . к тому же он показал что раствором он нанес один раз на самом деле это до десяти раз !)) а в общем красиво . скорее всего колор кейс харденинг делает не он сам как и гравировку . )))
exactly what i come to write , lol,, some ppl put a dislike, and i think its because of weapon for 95% of them. But we have to accept than this man have a fk expertise, meticulous and talent. We dont have to like war for like weapon and vise versa.
@@aranoilean5480 - Having a gun doesn't necessarily mean you love war or bloodshed. But the love of weapons is in the blood of every real man. And it is difficult to call it a relic of the past or an innate defect, no matter what modern amorphous minorities say about it. Those same worthless consumers, for whom it is much easier to get down on your knees and expect mercy from a potential killer, than to take up arms to protect your tribe or your family from an internal or external enemy. This love of weapons came with the very first home-made tool for work or hunting, or for protection, along with the primitive club or flint axe. Which for the first time made and took in hand, if not yet a man, but no longer a monkey. And the most distant ancestor of modern man or Homo sapiens sapiens, the so-called skilled man or "Homo habilis", and a representative of the parallel branch of this species" Homo", the Rudolph man or"Homo rudolfensis". This love is embedded in us at the level of instincts and genetic memory. It gradually accumulated and developed from 2.8 million years, both with the appearance of the first Homo habilis-rudolfensis and up to 130,000 years, and with the appearance of the first direct ancestors of modern man, Homo sapiens sapiens, the so-called CRO-magnon man. And this development did not stop until the present day. Therefore should not be considered a craving or love for the weapon something to be ashamed of. Just the opposite is quite strange and shameful to consider weapons the embodiment of evil. What kind of weapon will be directly depends on its Creator, carrier and owner, namely on the person. And if a person is kind and intelligent, then the weapon in his hands will never sow evil. Or Vice versa, if a person is stupid and limited, then blaming the weak-willed weapon for evil deeds, and not the one who pulls the trigger, he is quite capable of doing evil deeds if this weapon falls into his hands.
This rifle is AMAZING, and who doesn't like checkering. A lot of folks think that its an easy process until you actually do it. I have all the tools that I could ever use to do checkering but it is a long process that requires patience, skill, a steady hand and a lot of attention to the details. You are the master!
I'm not a gun guy... I don't own any I don't want any. Ive shot them and decided they arent for me. That being said...id literally have this on my wall...any human being that can put so much talent creating anything...whether its a watch...or a rifle at this level of care, detail, and dedication deserves to be praised for creating art. That is what this is.
What makes this even more incredible is you do it all. It is extremely rare to see a single person do the machining, milling, engraving as well as all the stock work . It takes a good apprentice 4 or 5 years to reach exceptional levels in just one of those areas. You are a true master that understands blending old world and new world craftsmanship. This rifle only needs a fine presentation case. I collect fine firearms from all over the world. Mainly English doubles. Even some of the oldest firms such as James Purdey & Sons have craftsmen that master in 1 or 2 areas . You are a truly rare artist ! It inspires hope in a ever shrinking field of true craftsman.
Well said Eric! To master all of these skills is amazing! So few Gunsmiths can do fine hand work. I am old school, my files do a lot of work. Most younger guys like power tools.
I'm completely speechless and in total awe of what I've just watched- the craftsmanship (and patience!) blew me away let alone the final result. Any more words fail me. Wow.
Giles O says it all. Plus he is a really good guy. He helped me with a CRF issue on a factory rifle a couple of years ago. He didn’t have to do that. But he took the time and turned it around for me.
If I could afford such a piece, it would be in a secure frame on my wall so I could see it every day. Sorta like the Mona Lisa frame. My hunting buddies would be allowed to see it once a year, on its birthday party.
*Oh my god - this is a genuine work of art: it's positively **_gorgeous!_* *This was one of the most interesting 45 minutes I've spent on YT in the last month! This was literally awe-inspiring!*
Absolutely amazing!!; Thanks to a Master Gunsmith / Artist like you, CNC will never replace an skilled craftsman investing so much love, knowledge and experience to obtain such an astonishing Masterpiece. Love the .275 Rigby / 7x57 Mauser classic chambering. BTW, contrary to another person's opinion, the music you're using in your awsome videos is great & clear. From my JBL & Sony headphones thru my Altec- Lansing PC's sound system to my Bose & Panasonic H.T., I just obtained a very relaxing & enlightening experience. You must be very proud of the stunning Custom K98 you so lovingly crafted. I'm pretty sure Herr Paul Mauser is sending you his best!!; Thank you kindly for sharing another great video & God Bless!!👍🇺🇸😊
I couldn't believe how much care went into the checkering and all with single-point tools and no marking out! And then the engine turning on the bolt! You do get an idea of why hand-built rifles like this are expensive but they really aren't when you see the amount of craftmanship that's involved.
MAESTRO ,MARAVILLOSO¡¡¡,,dicen las personas : : " mucha paciencia",,--en el artista se le llama :arte,equilibrio,estética en armonia de lo que obra,no se lama paciencia,,no existe el tiempo en el que debes acabar, por que toda obra para su autor siempre està con un detalle que le falta...soy artesano..le felicito.PERÚ -AMERICA.
I saw this and immediately thought "oh they must be pretty expensive." What an understatement that was. $16,000 on the first priced firearm I see god damn! But to be completely honest after watching the whole thing the prices are entirely justified and most likely well worth it.
I used to be a tuba player, I wanted to buy one and saw a $15k pricetag and that it was lunacy. Then saw how they got made and realized I was looking at a cheap one. The best players in the world regularly honk on $75-$100k horns!
I watched 5 minutes and thought how the hell does this have 1k dislikes? Then 20 minutes in the audio has looped 10 times and I had to shut it off and put on some other audio to avoid being another dislike. Shoot the audio guy! Your work is absolutely stunning, flawless control with machine and hand tools. The filming was also superb. Absolute thumbs up, just not the volume knob which is a real shame as you lose all the machine shop noises that make it so intimate and compelling. Maybe some royalty free classical music next time?
Wow, just...wow! I "built" a 458 win mag safari rifle some years ago, and I must say that I am very proud of it. But I used ready made parts. You made yours from scratch! Very impressed!
I know nothing about guns, found your video via YT recommendations. I can’t honestly say where this “gun” ends and art begins. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is inspiring. Thank you brother for sharing and for making an amazing calming video.
Incredible craftsmanship, and a truly beautiful piece of functioning artwork at the end. I really hope the owner of this beauty treats it with the respect and care that it deserves so that it's still working and still looking amazing in 500yrs time!
Hundreds and hundreds of hours put into a beautifully made rifle, even the hatching looks flawless. Very ornate looking receiver and bolt, the imperfect blueing just adds to its marvel
Me gusto el video .lo único que yo no se es porque pego el cañón con todo la acción a la culata. Siempre dicen los expertos que tiene que haber un par de decimos entre el cañón y la madera para que este se pueda mover y vibrar para que el tiro siempre sea de buena calidad por lo demás, buen video ❤😂❤
I'm somewhat amb, but I prefer a pump action or semiautomatic. My deer rifle is a pump carbine , in 3006 but I'm thinking about a 308 in a 20 inch barrel, new loads putting it up with the 3006 . I'm leaving the weatherbys and such for my grandson, hope he will enjoy all my firearms when he gets to the age to use them .
Well done. This is art, You did a great job. What surprises me besides the talent required to do something like this is that the results often seem positive after such an effort. The amount of money spent on this solution is quite expensive. It's a good old gun. Can it still shoot?
look at a pre-64 Winchester model 70, the barrel is held to the stock with a screw.(use as a club) controlled feed (so you can operate the bolt while running) knock away scope mounts, go to iron sights Needed when you hunt animals that eat you. My question is why 7×57mm Mauser on an African rifle?
For optimal accuracy free-floating is generally the way to go. On a rifle like this it's more important to me aesthetically to have a perfect wood-to-metal fit. This gun shot 3/4" at 100 yards which is more than sufficient for its intended use.
I've held a lot of beautiful hunting rifles in my time and known some talented smiths but damn, son you are something else. charge more than your asking ;) exceptional work really.
lol I'm super curious how one goes about suggesting someone starts charging more than 16,000 for a rifle "just because".... IMO, a true craftsman probably wants to actually make them consistently, not cross fingers that more than 2 people will be willing to tickle a crafty capitalist ego with their wallet. Holding expensive rifles is a lot different than trying to sell them consistently. A lot of the skill here is hard to even begin putting a price on, but the rifle doesn't pay bills, the people who buy them do. #Tradesmentruth
Is it real? Beautiful, left handed, beautiful, stylish, beautiful and beautiful, may I marry her? Sweet Jesus what a gorgeous piece, from the bottom of my heart I congrat you for such a piece.
did I just watch a true craftsman at work. Stupid me I didn't think they existed anymore. A truly fascinating video and a beautiful job so well done with a perfect result
Ferlach in Austria also makes such beautifull handcrafted rifles, so do the german gunsmiths at Suhl and the Swiss in several places - in italy in Gardone are also traditional gunsmiths doing such crafts you should visit it some day, and ask some gusmiths if you can watch their craft
Not tested so I can't say good quality in terms of firing output, but the way he does it from the start I can say its good quality in terms of artistic design, very detailed and beautiful to my eyes. For me, you are not perfectionist your just one of those guys that want their output very detailed high-quality machining output, high-quality artistic custom design, and making sure you, your self is satisfied with your masterpiece that way 100 percent who ever want some of your work is speechless. Out of 5/5 ratings I gave 5.
beautiful work, that's for sure. But it would be a lot better with clues of what you are doing, which matérial you use, wood, metal, cement, oil and so on...
We'll work on doing more of that in future videos. Cutting oil is Viper Venom. Wood is exhibition grade Turkish walnut. Our receivers are made out of 8620. The epoxy bedding is Acraglas.
I had no idea that anyone could do this. I mean, I knew people built guns but this was like magic. i'll be thinking about this for a long time. Well done.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any help you can offer me
Marksmanship. On all levels. A true Master building a masterpiece. I would work for this guy for free, if a bed to sleep and the necessary food would be given.
I love the burnt finish on the steel of the gun and my favorite part was the engraving,I personally think it makes the rifle more intricate!!! Well done bro 👏
Makes me dream big ! Being a southpaw , I don't often see a left hand rifle , let alone one of such an artistic creation ! This was an almost religious experience , my being at 73 a life long gun enthusiast , mechanic , and of recently a machinist in training , I find myself thinking "I could do that" ! But alas , my ride on this trail is nearing the crest of the hill and into the sunset ! Thanks for presenting a most entertaining reel that in 23:42 my humble opinion , rivals a good John Wayne movie !
Wow your ability to freehand file chequering to the metal parts and the wooden parts is really impressive. The whole build is really amazing stuff but the freehand work looks machine made
Depois me vem mostrar uns quadros velhos ,orriveis dependurados em paredes, dizendo ser obra de arte isso sim é uma verdadeira obra de arte e melhor funcional.
My good God!! You have to be one of the most talented well rounded custom rifle builders there is. Absolutely beautiful work. You sir are a truly talented Wood and metal worker. Gorgeous Rifle and one of my all time favorite cartridges.
There are somethings that England has lost to other countries and been replicated by man or machine but nothing on earth will copy this mans work , you are in the true sense a true craftsman of the highest caliber . I am glad there is still good hand made products in UK hand made like this , its what puts the Great in Great Briton 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Never have been a huge fan of Onyx stock tips or checkering. But I respect that people do and the tradition. I am a huge fan of walnut stocks tho! And proper rust bluing. The case hardening is absolutely gorgeous as is the jeweled bolt. I wonder is Mauser had any idea his design would become the standard for bolt guns when he designed it way back when.
Man muß es mehrere Male angesehenen haben! Es ist ein Genuss bei einer solchen Arbeit zuzusehen! Das exakte, ruhige Arbeiten ist einfach nur überzeugend!
Hard to believe it's the same guy all along: the man is just amazing and the finished gun on par with any works of art in this world. Anyway, I would love to have him as Prime Minister in my own country. He certainly knows how to get things in the best possible shape.
I was surprised to see you "not" using a wobble fixture mounted to the tail stock to center the reamer and cut the chamber. Mad prop's for milling your own iron sights and Talley style receiver scope bases. Your wood working skills are stellar. As too the Teak oil, is this a proprietary blend?? The old rust blue method is always great to see, and who ever did your color case hardened finish Bravo. It was indeed a pure pleasure to watch a master of his craft at work..
Thank you! I've had issues with the wobble fixture causing chatter in the past. Instead I indicate the barrel in using a range rod, a spider and four jaw with less than .0001 run out. The teak oil is a blend with alkenet root. Turnbull Restorations did the color case work. I agree, they did a great job!
@@mnrcustomllc8253 Yes the wobble can be a bit trying to set-up, but went I worked for Weatherby Inc. in the Customer service department I'd have at times a pallet of barrels and receivers to fit and headspace. Thank you for the teak formula, I'll try it on a Siler stock I have. Yep, Doug Turnbull restorations is the best at color case. I sent them a Winchester model of 1894 that has a high Nickle receiver that had reverted to the white, they color cased it and the lever, simply beautiful. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to your next offering.
It's very pretty, a work of art. Were I to order I would prefer something plainer, but with above average accuracy and handling qualities. Something with a very slick,albiet reliable action. This rifle probably has all that as well, but it needs to be hung on a wall in a museum, not drug through the woods in inclement weather. Sure is beautiful though.
What a stunning rifle, the best thing is that it's not just a handcrafted rifle, but you even did some masterful engraving and heat treating, I wish I was the owner!
I don't know what to say... speechless. But, I best say something..... That is amazingly beautiful. I hope that doesn't insult you, as I can't find the proper words to describe for this build.
don't envy it too much... they're trying to find ways of taking it all away through hidden little *sub sections* in these bills and laws they pass... that's why we need to fight back against all the attempts at pushing socialist ideals on the American people!
Remarkable skills. I expect the owner was more than happy. If it was my rifle I would choose a more traditional finish, definitely a deep rich bluing of the steel parts and a richer gloss finish for the timber parts.
I have been gunsmithing for over 40 years and this kind of work is a labor of love. Everybody 'wants' a rifle like this, but few are willing to pay for them. Thank you for a video that shows people a small portion of the hours that go into building a custom rifle. People didn't get to see the engraving work, gold inlay or color case hardening process, all additional time.
Thank you. I agree, very much a labor of love.

And, it's left-handed. Even cooler.
Was really surprised to see the barrel was not free-floated.
I was trying to figure this out as well.
With a Safari type build free floating is not always desired. You want strength and a solid support more than anything. This is amazing craftsmanship.
look at a pre-64 Winchester model 70, the barrel is held to the stock with a screw.(use as a club)
controlled feed (so you can operate the bolt while running)

I had no idea that anyone could do this. I mean, I knew people built guns but this was like magic. i'll be thinking about this for a long time. Well done.
Truly the difference between just a job and ones passionate WORK!
Absolutely amazing craftsmanship! It's incredible the patience and skill involved in this whole process.
I would love to see a whole titanium one build
Clocking the screws in the butt plate is a skill not seen very often these days. Excellent work!
Esse cara tem meu respeito e minha admiração, que capricho , top de mais, parabéns.

Marksmanship. On all levels. A true Master building a masterpiece. I would work for this guy for free, if a bed to sleep and the necessary food would be given.
Wow. That was the most amazing display of craftsmanship I have seen in a long time! Very impressed and well done.
To me this is real art work!!! Not that painted crap on a wall. You are a true Artist and don"t let anyone tell you otherwise!!!
Thank you. That's very kind.
45 minutes felt like 10. The is amazing
By far one of the most beautiful rifles I've ever seen built in modern times. You are a true craftsman.
I love the burnt finish on the steel of the gun and my favorite part was the engraving,I personally think it makes the rifle more intricate!!! Well done bro 👏
The mottled finish is from case hardening.
As a lefty this rifle is all the more beautiful.
I just sent the link to my old army buddy, who, as a citóg, had to learn to shoot right handed when we changed from the FAL to the AUG.
Could have done without the Ben Shapiro in the background. lol
Makes me dream big ! Being a southpaw , I don't often see a left hand rifle , let alone one of such an artistic creation ! This was an almost religious experience , my being at 73 a life long gun enthusiast , mechanic , and of recently a machinist in training , I find myself thinking "I could do that" ! But alas , my ride on this trail is nearing the crest of the hill and into the sunset ! Thanks for presenting a most entertaining reel that in 23:42 my humble opinion , rivals a good John Wayne movie !
I was enthralled before I realized we have the same last name. Nice work cuz!
Wow your ability to freehand file chequering to the metal parts and the wooden parts is really impressive. The whole build is really amazing stuff but the freehand work looks machine made
Depois me vem mostrar uns quadros velhos ,orriveis dependurados em paredes, dizendo ser obra de arte isso sim é uma verdadeira obra de arte e melhor funcional.
obra de arte é esse teu português de latrina
beleza e arte são coisas totalmente subjetivas, sua opinião pessoal não é a verdade absoluta
A true craftsman. Happy to know there’s at least one left in the world. Please pass on your skill so it doesn’t completely disappear.
and here i thought guns came from gun trees.
They get delivered by the gun stork.
My good God!! You have to be one of the most talented well rounded custom rifle builders there is. Absolutely beautiful work. You sir are a truly talented Wood and metal worker. Gorgeous Rifle and one of my all time favorite cartridges.
Thank you!
I want to work for this guy!

There are somethings that England has lost to other countries and been replicated by man or machine but nothing on earth will copy this mans work , you are in the true sense a true craftsman of the highest caliber .
I am glad there is still good hand made products in UK hand made like this , its what puts the Great in Great Briton 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Never have been a huge fan of Onyx stock tips or checkering. But I respect that people do and the tradition.
I am a huge fan of walnut stocks tho! And proper rust bluing. The case hardening is absolutely gorgeous as is the jeweled bolt.
I wonder is Mauser had any idea his design would become the standard for bolt guns when he designed it way back when.
Love the color case hardening on action, with the quick disconnect rings. Great job!!!!
Thank you! I also love the look of color case hardening.
can't image how much skills needs to be in perfection in order to make such perfect art work
I would so love to work in this shop.
Man muß es mehrere Male angesehenen haben! Es ist ein Genuss bei einer solchen Arbeit zuzusehen! Das exakte, ruhige Arbeiten ist einfach nur überzeugend!
I think i might literally lose my mind trying to work to such a standard 😅
Sebuah seni yg sangat indah untuk membuat senapan...salam dari Indonesia..mas Aji.
This guy has ridiculous skill. I went in to this video content and wanting to see a gun been built and
Came out the other side jealous lol.
Hard to believe it's the same guy all along: the man is just amazing and the finished gun on par with any works of art in this world. Anyway, I would love to have him as Prime Minister in my own country. He certainly knows how to get things in the best possible shape.
Absolutely spectacular! Wow! So beautiful. What craftsmanship. Sub’d.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Utter perfection in wood and metal. A joy to watch, and a lifetime joy of ownership for the lucky owner.
A true work of craftsmanship, and a beauty. I would mount that above my bed, so I can admire it in my sleep.
Sorry buddy, I'm gonna marry her!!

These people are masters at their craft. Very pleasant to watch them do their work.
WHAT CAN I SAY THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID TWO OR THREE TIMES
I was surprised to see you "not" using a wobble fixture mounted to the tail stock to center the reamer and cut the chamber. Mad prop's for milling your own iron sights and Talley style receiver scope bases. Your wood working skills are stellar. As too the Teak oil, is this a proprietary blend?? The old rust blue method is always great to see, and who ever did your color case hardened finish Bravo. It was indeed a pure pleasure to watch a master of his craft at work..
Thank you! I've had issues with the wobble fixture causing chatter in the past. Instead I indicate the barrel in using a range rod, a spider and four jaw with less than .0001 run out. The teak oil is a blend with alkenet root. Turnbull Restorations did the color case work. I agree, they did a great job!
@@mnrcustomllc8253 Yes the wobble can be a bit trying to set-up, but went I worked for Weatherby Inc. in the Customer service department I'd have at times a pallet of barrels and receivers to fit and headspace. Thank you for the teak formula, I'll try it on a Siler stock I have. Yep, Doug Turnbull restorations is the best at color case. I sent them a Winchester model of 1894 that has a high Nickle receiver that had reverted to the white, they color cased it and the lever, simply beautiful. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to your next offering.
I once bought my "wife" a rifle like this.
I am now divorced.
Ironically, I actually built this one for my wife. I can't use it though since it's a lefty and the wrong LOP
Do you want to marry me?
It's very pretty, a work of art. Were I to order I would prefer something plainer, but with above average accuracy and handling qualities. Something with a very slick,albiet reliable action. This rifle probably has all that as well, but it needs to be hung on a wall in a museum, not drug through the woods in inclement weather. Sure is beautiful though.
Hello dear friend war a come you know so you got to make it counts okay 😊😅
What a stunning rifle, the best thing is that it's not just a handcrafted rifle, but you even did some masterful engraving and heat treating, I wish I was the owner!
Best 45 min on RUclips in a long while.
I don't know what to say... speechless. But, I best say something..... That is amazingly beautiful. I hope that doesn't insult you, as I can't find the proper words to describe for this build.
"welcome back to hardware unboxed..."
I'm glad to see a left handed version of a Rigby rifle.it is beautiful.
Só vai receber um like por que não tem como dar mais rsrs ótimo trabalho parabéns
For the left-handed?
FANTASTIC WORKMANSHIP......
A++++++ thank you for posting it.
I really envy your country that has freedom and freedom.😔
don't envy it too much... they're trying to find ways of taking it all away through hidden little *sub sections* in these bills and laws they pass... that's why we need to fight back against all the attempts at pushing socialist ideals on the American people!
Remarkable skills. I expect the owner was more than happy.
If it was my rifle I would choose a more traditional finish, definitely a deep rich bluing of the steel parts and a richer gloss finish for the timber parts.
