A lot of people tend to forget, while he is the CEO of Midway, he started out as a gunsmith and he is a very skilled one at that. I have a friend that is very skilled not only at gunsmithing but woodworking as well. Nothing wrong with having the toys!
Shut up boomer no one cares
When he said “be careful with this screw”, I knew it best to stop right there.
I knew you are able to re line or sleeve a .22 but never seen it done. WOW! This video is awesome to watch!
Met him at Shot a few years back Larry was very humble and kind, Thanks for you're how to videos.
Amazing, and kind of humbling, to see such masterful work being done.
When I was a lad in Montana, someone gave me an old single shot .22 rifle that was so worn out you could drop an entire .22 cartridge down the muzzle, and all that stopped it was the rim. It fired, but wasn't too accurate! I think it needed this job done to it.
Larry, you make the most mundane projects look and sound interesting. This is way beyond my ability but watching you do it is an educational experience. Thanks man. I own nine .22 rimfire rifles and one handgun. Really like seeing videos about rimfires.
Are you preparing for a war??😮😮
Nope, just a collector. And a swell hobby to boot. No more wars for me, I served in early 1970's (draftee). @@________8975

Enjoied the video.. Thanks!!!! Just bought a 63. It was the first gun i ever shot, i was 8 and it was 1960... Very sililar to the 1903 in the video. First time in my hands in 60 years. Keep on doin what you do brother.... Great job!
When I started gunsmithing, the only way to secure a barrel liner was by Silver-soldering it in place.
Loctite and Acraglas have made it so much easier, I often wonder how we managed back then.
as a much younger gunsmith i find myself thinking the same
I haven't used Green Loctite, but have used the Red to hold a part for grinding and getting the part off after, it took a propane torch to get the part SMOKING hot before the Red Loctite let loose. Very tough stuff.
You have the ability to inspire people to love and cherish guns!
This is an incredible demonstration of craftsmanship and the skilled use of machine tools.
A beautiful rifle, only usable as a wall ornament until this was done to it. Now, it is able to be enjoyed, as intended. Cool video.
amazed at the craftsmanship of some guns...all the work and creative thinking that went into making each part
what an extremely skilled man Larry is.
I love seeing these projects... sort of like reading the newspaper each day, but only gun maintenance with repair.
That's one heck of a newspaper!
Way to bring that fine piece back to life. Yet another great video. Thanks.
There’s not doubt Larry is one of a kind and that was a great video!
Beautifully done with much skill & care. Well Done Sir
Great video. I have old tools but, I'm sure they will work fine. Just takes patients. This video gives me a leg up as to the proper sequence to do the job. Thanks Larry.
I am amazed this can be done with Loctite or other adhesives. Technology is wonderful.
Check out the Henkel website.
I think Larry is an encyclopedia for all things firearms.
Reminds me of going into the shop with my grandpa. He made everything he did look easy despite the fact that it took years to develop those skills.
I've always bought square shank screwdrivers just for that reason but I never thought about putting wrench on a screw bit! Now I know and know is half the battle.
If my Remington number four in 32 long rim fire stars to wander, I will surely reline it just as you did this 22 rifle. The number 4 Remington is a beautiful work of art and I do treasure mine. That is why I reload the 32 rimfire, a very tedious process, but I enjoy it. Thank you for your video.
I haven't used Green Loctite, but have used the Red to hold a part for grinding and getting the part off after, it took a propane torch to get the part SMOKING hot before the Red Loctite let loose. Very tough stuff.
My father would have loved your videos he was an d school engineer who considered perfection a good starting point. We did work on a couple of my guns but living in the UK not as many as I would have liked. Dad kept my grandfather's Lorries on the road and did work for the lokal farmers (farm work was allwase urgent last minute jobs) but even then dad never cut corners. A lokal farmer asked for a breakdown on the bill for a job dads reply was priceless
"10% for doing the job 90% for knowing how to do the job" my leston from that was knolage was everything with being able to do the job a very close second. Please keep up the very interesting video's even living in a gun hating country I do find them very informative.
This guy is the king of making hard stuff look easy lol
Better than brand new! Amazing detail on your work!
Good job Larry, i love Midwayusa!
That was an awesome video. Would have figured it was a wall hanger. But you taught me something here
Thanks for the video. Had no idea you could revive an old shot out rifle like this.
almost nothing is beyond repair my good man.
I wish I had a shop like that and of course the knowledge to go along with it!!
Mr Potterfield, you are awesome! Longtime happy customer here 😁
you are indeed a craftsman. you have my respect and admiration.
If I drilled that barrel the two holes wouldn't meet in middle. It would probably shoot about 7 ft to the right at 20 yards. I'm respected by some of my peers and students however he's on the next ( at least 2 higher ) levels when it comes to craftsmanship.
Really enjoyed your working spirit and knowledge... Great Job
I like watching him fix firearms.On the other hand I think he's just showing off.Who has all that equipment and money like he does.
I am never going to use this information i just acquired. Thank you, wonderful video.
Great job, great series,,, as a life long machinist, I respectfully offer this one suggestion: The first breach reamer should be piloted to avoid the deflection seen @ 3:00. At the very least I would have selected a boring bar.
I agree.
LaPabst nobody cares
you have a boring bar that will fit a .22 caliber hole? with a cutting tool in it ?
@@ronalddavis Just the breach... Rewatch the vid.
That could be done in 22 mag with just a different reamer . Id like to find a wornout one myself and do the magnum 22 round . Trouble is finding that type gun cheap enough. Love your videos Larry and midway .
Now that was pretty cool. I always wondered how you install a barrel liner
I gave a old Model 12 Remington to a gunsmith for a bbl insert. He did a wonderful job and gun works perfectly. I had no idea how much work he had to do to get it done and only charged me $180. After seeing this, I stole that job.
This kind of knowledge and expertise needs to be passed down to the generations to come for many obvious reasons. Here's hoping that's happening
A beautiful thing to watch. What a craftsman.
Wow! Mr.Potterfield is talented!
Awesome video. What a great profession being skilled in gunsmithing.
Great to watch a master work!
Great video!
Everything a master craftsman does looks easy
I would have mentioned the "chuck" at the rear of lathe. It is essential that both ends of barrel run true when drilling or diameters at middle of barrel may not meet and be on same centerline.
very interesting piece of film. thanks for sharing. craftsmanship at it's best!
Finally a master gunsmith with well produced, knowledgeable videos. If I could pick your brain....
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel ruclips.net/user/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
I love my CZ firearms, and I would not trade any of my CZ handguns for a Glock, etc. If I had to go out on business, and could take only one pistol, it would be a CZ. I am looking forward to getting a SP-01 Phantom as my next firearms purchase. Thanks for this great story!
I had the chance to go for a night of beer and friendship with some representatives from the Czech Republic. Drank us all under the table, and they were just getting warmed up! Absolutely wonderful people.
I don't know what that has to do with this video however CZ makes some great guns.
I wish I wasn't disabled, I would love to do this kind of work. You look and act like you love your job. And you are really good at it.
Man, Larry can do it all!
Truly fun and educational, thank you
Now I can't stop thinking about that Stevens Favorite 1915 I have that me Grandfather purchased as a young man.
I want a shirt with his smile and "let me show you how it's done" on it.
I would buy one of those shirts. I would also buy a few for some of my friends and not tell them what it means. Let them wonder for a while...
The world's best gunsmith
I've always wanted a .22 rolling block.
Go on GunBroker.com, they have a lot for really good prices in auctions. I know this is a 5 year old comment but I hope you find what you’re looking for.
thanks LARRY
Love your videos. Keep posting new videos!
I've done several like this with liners from Brownell's and Brownell's Accraglas.
love it, great video showing how much work goes into these jobs :)
thanks for making the video and uploading
what a master so good at what he does
Great work Larry.
Thank you Mr. Potterfield
For the content you put out
Perfect candidate to switch from 22lr to 22mag.
Thats what I was thinking!
I’d love to have that done to my grandfathers Boy’s Model. It’s been “Pop-Pop’s Old Rusty Gun” for about 85-90 years and it’s time to get the old girl shooting again.
I really wish he had a show
Amazing work...
Very informative. Great video, Larry !
Real wholesome repair hours.
why this channel only have 140 k subscribe, i found this channel facenating and educating, i am very interested, even iam not even american
There's nothing you can't do with a shop full of expensive tools and a whole lot of know how.
yet he chose to use locktight =/
How about a 7nm integrated circuit with 10 billion transistors?
@@adventureguy4119 That was weird. I thought he would use a press fit or something exotic.
With emphasis on "know how"!
@@adventureguy4119 Modern anaerobic adhesives are fine for the task. High temp versions exist (see Henkel and other websites) if desired. Modern adhesives hold all sorts of things together, including jet fighters. Bonus is if someone shoots out the liner, the barrel can be safely heated (use an IR temp gun to monitor) to the point where the adhesive releases and the old liner can be easily pressed out.
I'm intrigued how well this would hold up. Loctite releases when heated and I can imagine a bit of shooting would definitely heat up the barrel enough to release the loctite.
you cant load and fire it fast enough to get it hot enough
Amazing work.
Outstanding presentation
Quality work, must be so satisfying i really enjoyed watching that.
Thank you Larry
I know this video is 9 years old, but I was wondering how much it would cost to reline a bolt action .22 Long Rifle. I have a 1956 Remington 511, Score Master with a 7 shot magazine. My dad gave it to me when I was 10 years old. He had it as long as I can remember and it was used when he got it. He didn't shoot it much, but I've put literally thousands of rounds through it. In my younger years it was quite accurate, but as I got older and my eyesight started failing I had a gunsmith drill and tap it for a big game scope mount and I mounted a 3X9 Tasco scope on it for squirrel hunting. Most of my shots were head shots taken within 20 to 35 yards. I recently tried to re-sight it in for 100 yards. My shots were all over the place. I averaged about an 8 inch group. So, I re-sighted it back to 25 yards and even then it wasn't as accurate as it used to be. I was using sand bags and a solid bench rest, but nothing helped. After taking a closer look down the bore I could see the pitting that had occurred over the years. If it doesn't cost too much I'd like to get it relined, so I can shoot it confidently again. I'm almost 70 years old and it's one of the few things I have left that my father gave me. I'd like to pass it down to the next generation, but if it's wore out I'm afraid they'll just sell it after I'm gone. So, anyone have any idea what this would cost?
Dear Larry: thank you for all you do for youth shooting sports. I have some shot-out 22s to get some new kids started, and went to MidWay to buy barrel liners, but told you do not sell them anymore. Can you recommend a source? Thanks

I just came from the Brownell's site, which has them in stock. I ended up coming here to see how they are installed. I don't need one, but I'm always interested in learning how things are done.
Very cool sir. Nice rifle.
Good job. I was waiting to see if it shot good after all that work. And I get nothing.
Nice video, thank you
Interesting vid. I'm a machinist, but don’t have any gunsmithing skills. I always enjoy your work! I wonder what you really listen to though.
He uses Loctite 680. Do not let it get in the bore. If some gets in, clean it out immediately with lacquer thinner. Dried Loctite in the bore is a problem. Don't ask me how I know.
Nice video Larry, I have an old 1915 stevens favorite that needs relining. That video was very helpful. I have a question about those hard to remove screws. Do you ever use something penetrating oil? Thanks for sharring.
Kroil on stuck pins, screws, etc.. is a common procedure in shops.
Marvel mystery oil mixed with some acetone makes the best penetrating oil. IMHO.
Amazing work of Art
What you aren't seeing is the patience that it takes to let the drill feed itself into the barrel. Many fine barrels have been poorly treated and lost a great deal of accuracy by someone rushing the job, as pushing the bit even the least bit too hard will cause it to wander off center. Drilling it from both ends helps to alleviate this but cannot prevent it. Proper bit sharpening and constantly removing the bit to clear it of chips are also hallmarks of a decent gunsmith as is the oil he uses and how often. I have no doubt "J.M. Pyne" could be stamped on there without complaint...lol.
I really enjoyed this video, love watching a good machinist work. I had one question on a fine point you stated but did not explain. You said when tapping out the sights to be sure to tap them from left to right, but not why it should be done this way. Is there a slight bevel on the dove tail groove from one side to the other?
There is a slight bevel so always knock out that way and reverse when putting them back in. Left to right when at the stock of the gun.

Larry is the man
You the man Larry
great job sir, greetings from Brazil.
Jesus!!! I want this guy cleaning/servicing my guns!!!!
Living the dream!
This man loves his job 😍
Man I wish I had you as a shop teacher back in high school . Good video & job. Ps can you give me a tour of your shop and warehouse please. I'll be a child in a candy store.
Even without the lathe.The tools required to do the job properly is prohibitive
You have to have alot of junk guns to come out on this project.
The lathe , who rents them out?
Now the best part Larry Its nice to have a machinist just of camera to set it up for you!
Where do you rent one of those?
Nice job like your workshop.
great work GOD bless tom strassell
Gostei muito do seu serviço, com certeza esse Rifle ficou perfeito pra caçar.. parabéns ao Armeiro.!!
Great video!
