I just turned 50 and bought myself a Kofs o/u 20 guage. It is the sweetest shooting shotgun I have ever seen. I paid $600. If I ever want a custom, I'll have it made exactly like that one.
I bought a longthorne three years ago. Literally flew across the Atlantic Ocean to get fitted and make my order. Definitely my favourite shotgun by a long shot.
Anyone named James Stewart instantly gains some level of respect from me. However, this fine gentlemam jas EARNED every ounce... and then some. What a wonderful art form and exquisite pieces of art Master Stewart produces. Well done to all involved, what a wonderful contribution to the nearly mythical realm in the universe known as English Fine Arms Manufacturing. I knew 50 years ago when a man named Jack O'Connor complimented the English on their firearms that it was an industry/art not to be triffled. Cheers to all and Happy New Year 1/1/2024.
Great gun and well impressed but the man that runs that company is on another level he is hands on actually running machines himself, and running a company and u can tell he knows how to measure a gun. Another great video
They have been THE Masters for a long, long time :-) Some of the older examples of side by side dangerous games rifles are nearly religious artifacts. Some I would be afraid to handle, absolutely priceless.
I've never owned a shotgun and only ever held one once.I am a person who appreciates quality in any form and I loved every bit of this small film. beautiful craftsmanship and presentation.
Ive been shooting all my long life. I’m mostly self taught, non-professional sportsman. It’s fantastic to listen to Mr. Stewart talk. He says many things that I’ve learned over the years, and adds new things and ideas. A master. Fantastic video, you are fortunate to have fine equipment that you can use for years to come!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Much like the Texan said, it would indeed be a "bucket list" to have your own gun fit in the British tradition. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Best Regards from Wyoming, USA.
That was genuinely satisfying. I'm a tool and die maker in Canada, I appreciate the attention to detail that was put in to this gorgeous shotgun. Cheers mate.
A beautiful piece of walnut that was picked out, as an old English carpenter and joiner I was very much appreciated of the time and fitting of the stock . Im also very much surprised that Jim i'snt a master joiner as he has a passion for the wood and shaping process. The English have been making guns for Hundreds of years and we can still be the best at what we do, Well done Lads.
This man is the boss you want, too many engineering companies expect every new untested design to work first time, every time. Even mistakes are teachable moments, and if you couple that with experience you end up with a refined quality product, like these beautiful guns.
I love how some companies are mixing hi-tech computer controlled machines with simple craftmanship skills to produce beautiful guns at not stupid prices. And without years long waiting lists
Ehm, idk about that, those guns start at about 28'000 USD and go much higher than that. I would expect to see a certain level of service accordingly. Safe to say I will probably not find myself there for a fitting.
@@mysterioanonymous3206 some other high end English gunmakers like Holland and holland, purdey etc have their base price around 100k and with custom engravings the price just gets higher and higher Compare that with the 28k you pay at this gunmaker and the quality that is very close to those other guns i would consider 28k a bargain
This is a RUclips video well worth the view showing you and James, with his passion, meticulous attention to quality and detail partnered with the use of cutting edge technology, putting together those two beautiful guns and showing the whole process is 44mins of time very well spent. Thanks for taking the time to produce this content and keep up the good work.
My goodness Mr. Jon, this was so lovely to watch. Thank you for everything you do, how you film and thanks to your film/editing crew and Longthorne for filming the whole process I know that may have taken days of their time. I was born in Canada and lived half my life there and the rest in the USA and have seen many facets of guns here... And I'm familiar with English culture since Canada is part of the commonwealth. Of ALL types of guns in the world, I've loved dangerous game and best guns since I was young. Only now am I in a position to start clay shooting. Thanks to you and your videos I'VE learned so much and I finally purchased a starter gun, to go shooting with. I love this sport already. I'd love to come to the UK and experience some proper clays courses and dressing the part and all the pomp & circumstance that comes with it. What you've just shown is a dream of mine; to one day afford a custom gun and have it made and enjoy it. I loved every minute of this video and your passion/excitement for your craft. Keep up the excellent work. I just watched this whole thing while eating dinner and decided to have some scotch while going on this journey with you. Please buy and chronicle another custom gun again!!
Shot clays w a guy who has two marching LT's. Never saw one myself until yesterday. What an absolute piece of art they are. Rethinking my shotgun goals!
Now that a stunner! Honestly Longthorne shotguns are incredible guns 👏👏👏 Made in England is the way forward…. Your a very lucky chap !! Your channel just keeps getting better and better. Nice one TGS !
GREAT VIDEO !! As a french blacksmith knife maker and hunter/gun lover it is sooooo enjoyable to watch !!! Love those moments when oil flows on wood and you see it come to life...
in 1957 I was 12 years old and fit my Iverjohnson champion 12 gage to me. loved it all my life till I lost it in a camper destruction. Yes, it really matters that the gun fit the shooter. I love this video its so much a learning experience. my shotgun saved my life twice so that had a lot to do with its value to me. when I would shoot pheasants I would concentrate on the bird and the gun just shot where it should. never bothered with a front bead. at the local 25 indoor range the range I was shooting some slugs. the range man said don't you need a bead? after I promptly put 3 shots within 1/2 inch of center at 8 12 and 4 pm he said I guess you don't need a bead. when you have a gun that just shoots where you look all it well.
Such an intelligent, calm, yet revealing presentation. Almost meditative and cathartic, as opposed to most gun videos, that mainly consist of "Hey look what I have", "Let's shoot some stuff" and throwing tables. Thank you so much.
Congratulations, Jonny! I'm genuinely happy for you, I could tell how much you loved these guns from the factory tour. Longthorne is such an impressive company. Even as a guy from the States, it's so good to see new investments being made in English gun manufacturing. I'd love to sneak a look at their barrel machining process, it's such a unique approach. I understand their decision to keep things under wraps, of course, but machining those barrels is no small feat.
I watched this film in absolute awe, this level of craftsmanship is enough to bring a lump to your throat and make you so proud that it was made in Great Britain, with pride and above all love, enjoy that gun, every time you pick it up just enjoy it.
What a most entertaining and informative video. This had all the components I love. Engineering, woodwork, craftsmanship and of course shooting. When Johnny took his gun out of the slip at Lady’s Wood shooting ground, for the first public viewing, I am not ashamed to say I felt a tad emotional. I may have to spend some of my daughter’s inheritance!
Very interesting, lovely gun, and wonderfull gunmaker ! I have a perazzi M X 8 "extra ",not to bad for a french shooter " it,s always a pleasure To see your vidéo from France, see you soon!
As an American Gal, Ive been gunsmithing since I was 10yrs old. My grandfather was a master clock maker and gunsmith and my father an engineer so guns have always been an everyday. Ive worked on and restored many but that Birdseye stock you choosed was perfect. I have an 881 Marlin I got about 25yrs ago that has a stock like that.
A beautiful piece of engineering/work of art, that indescribable mix of up-to-date engineering and machining with classic fitting the gun to the shooter.
Your best video so far !..................and if that does not make everybody want a Longthorne I dont know what will ................ jim is an absolute gem , and craftsman and engineer .............. respect to all concerned. I turn 70 in february so its a bit late for a custom gun , but if I was I know where i would be going ..................
Great video, being a machinist for 25 years, i know and appreciate the progress of process. I remember a job for zeiss cmm ways. It was extruded aluminum. Had to be square,perp,flat within. 0002 within 40inches of length all four sides. Which was .00005 per side. Every cut changes the structure, the extrusions just held so much stress. Every cut released it. We made hundreds of them. But was a good education and challenge.
Longthornes are truly a work of ark and engineering genius and a great pleasure to shoot (on the occasion I was lucky to have a go). Yours (as they all are) is a unique gun that will no doubt be an hierloom in your family. They are the Purdeys and Bosses of the future.
This was a beautiful video. I watched the entire video and never once looked at the time or felt distracted by anything. The process was fascinating. Not that I will ever be able to afford such a gun, but as a double gun enthusiast it was a lovely watch. Thanks.
Jon, congratulations from the central USA, specifically Kansas. Your gun is absolutely gorgeous and I’m beside myself with envy. I’ve been following you for months and really enjoy your content. There is nothing better than a gun that fits you properly. I was fortunate several year’s ago to purchase a standard Beretta sporting O/U and have it fit for me with the stock bent to my dimensions, I’m left handed so not too many people can pick up my gun and use it. My fitter was a well known local gentleman named Michael Murphy and he did a remarkable job. Best regards from the USA.
So much respect to this man and his business. I love it when passionate people are successful following what they love. Wish him the best luck in the future!
You are only young once John, you have worked hard enough and bloody well earned it. Get out there now and get some lead up them barrels. The gun is beautiful by the way, great to see it from inception to the finished item. PS A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family.
I started my working life as a gunsmith in NZ and am now a toolmaker in Australia i really enjoyed this video because it brought back the memories of linseed oil and walnut dust but its back to work on Tuesday working with similar steal's usually 51 - 60 rc but i miss the walnut and metal fit up .
Hello, Just like to say what a super video, so interesting to see the love and care the Longthorne but into making a gun. Must rank as one of your best videos. Have a happy Christmas and amazingly good 2022. Keep well, keep safe and enjoy life.
Ive sent this video on to a few times now. Even to people are not in to shooting but enjoy the engineering and manufacturing that go in to making cool stuff
What a graet story. Very much like my own, Grew up on a farm with guns, Wanted to get into gunsmithing but there was nothing around or even close to me so then became a toolmaker too. Never made a gun thou I did make a mini cannon 2" long and was surprisingly effective 🤣.Lovely job
What a wonderful experience. To follow the whole process of selection and fitting by a true master craftsman helped rekindle my faith in 'British made ' I was beginning to think we had lost all our craftsmen. Big shout out to Longthorne Guns!
Want to trade lives, Jonny, or Mr. Stewart? I love the craftsmanship and the shooting skills both. I've been woodworking since age 5 when Grandpa started me carving Bolsa with his pocket knife, some 43 years ago. And while I've made a half-dozen stocks for a variety of guns, I've not made anything to that caliber! My favorite part is shaping the squared-off band saw cuts with the bastard files. The most satisfying part is when the first oil application occurs. The revealing of the finished product out in the sun and shooting it without regard to hitting the target because the smile is too big to be efficient, is the highlight of the whole project. There something going on which an anti-gun person is completely missing in life, that this is more than guns and shooting, it's choosing to trust the Creator which lives in us. There is happiness in making something which is you! Well done, the both of you!
Brilliant vid guys! Thanks for all the info over the last two years for me it's been a great help in all aspects of my shooting. Have a cracking crimbo and looking forward to seeing you all in the New Year! Cheers
Back in 1977 I hade a S/S gun fitted by Westley Richards in Birmingham. A fantastic experience. I can't shoot shotguns/clays any more because of arthritis but this was a joy to watch. Thanks!
Great Vid TGS team. I've watched it in 4 sittings. Not because of the length of the vid, just to fully absorb the content. Jim is truly revolutionary in his approach. Well done. What a great result.

…so I’m an American, specifically Texan… and after finding this channel… I think going through this process once in my life is a bucket list thing
Hope to see you at DSC Jacob, we are hoping to be there, covid permitting!!
All they did was carve stocks. This isn't gunsmithing, it's posh decoration.
@@toddgillespie5198 if you think that is all they that they did then you obviously have not understood the content and what longthorne does
I’m so jealous,I can’t even imagine

Thankyou 🙏
Thank you
@@tgsoutdoors γιατί έχει συνδρομή το κανάλι σού ;;;;;
Great gun and well impressed but the man that runs that company is on another level he is hands on actually running machines himself, and running a company and u can tell he knows how to measure a gun. Another great video
My thoughts exactly.
I mean he's running a program made by an engineer that's setup in CAD, wouldn't exactly call him a master craftsman lmao
And here it is! Not only an inspirational video, but the birth of a one of a kind “Jonthorne” outbloodystanding!
So great to see a British company producing an amazing product that gives so much pleasure!
They have been THE Masters for a long, long time :-)
Some of the older examples of side by side dangerous games rifles are nearly religious artifacts. Some I would be afraid to handle, absolutely priceless.
Being a Michigander from the U.S., this will Definitely be in my future to go through this process at Longthorne, can't wait.
I've never owned a shotgun and only ever held one once.I am a person who appreciates quality in any form and I loved every bit of this small film. beautiful craftsmanship and presentation.

I love how some companies are mixing hi-tech computer controlled machines with simple craftmanship skills to produce beautiful guns at not stupid prices. And without years long waiting lists
That's how it should be. The machines are rediculously expensive, but they are for a reason. They could pump these guns out just about en masse.
They can pump out blanks but hand fitting a gun to a customer's body is a whole different story!
Ehm, idk about that, those guns start at about 28'000 USD and go much higher than that. I would expect to see a certain level of service accordingly. Safe to say I will probably not find myself there for a fitting.
Sticks and carrots.
Guns can run north of 200k.
28k is comparatively pocket change.

Made in England is the way forward….
Your a very lucky chap !!
Your channel just keeps getting better and better.
Nice one TGS !
Thank you Graham
I have watched this a few times now and every time I see something different,,,,,,,what a beautiful gun built by people who love what they do ....
Enjoy mate mine is build no 079 and i,ve had it for about 7 years & they are such a fantastic gun
I think the majority will not understand the extremes longthorne is going with the barrel manufacturing, incredibly impressive!
GREAT VIDEO !! As a french blacksmith knife maker and hunter/gun lover it is sooooo enjoyable to watch !!!

They don't come better than longthorne guns. Absolutely beautiful.
Congrats Jonny Defiantly one of my favourite videos from 2021 along with Rizzini factory tour another brilliant watch
Absolutely beautiful 😍 what an amazing team, nice to see we still make some nice guns in this country. #proudtobeBritish

I never expected to like this video as much as I did. What a marvelous gun you got, Johnny!
Congrats Jonny, very happy for you!
What a beautiful work of art!
You are a very lucky man!
SOO-PERB!!!! Great to see an English gun maker. Congrats, Johnny and thanks for the vids - they're the best!!
One of the best videos you have done. What a beautiful gun.
I’m really pleased to see that you have your own
Longthorne. I could see the longing from
When you reviewed one a year or so ago.
This is why I support this channel for video’s like this !!well done Johnny what a beautiful Gun you lucky boy . Happy Christmas all at TGS 👌👊👏

Awesome , young Sir ! One of a kind made, for one of a kind .
I fell in love with the process and finally, the gun. Love the channel and all your content. Even the humor!
Brilliant and well deserved, its great to have just what you want. What a beautiful Gun.
I saw one of these shotguns at PSA (Pacific Sporting Arms) holy smokes these are well crafted! If you're curious about pricing... 20-80k
Spectacular, you have worked hard for it enjoy.
Nice one Johnny, what a lovely video of your journey, hope you have many a happy days with your new Longthorne gun.
Great video, being a machinist for 25 years, i know and appreciate the progress of process. I remember a job for zeiss cmm ways. It was extruded aluminum. Had to be square,perp,flat within. 0002 within 40inches of length all four sides. Which was .00005 per side. Every cut changes the structure, the extrusions just held so much stress. Every cut released it. We made hundreds of them. But was a good education and challenge.
Longthornes are truly a work of ark and engineering genius and a great pleasure to shoot (on the occasion I was lucky to have a go). Yours (as they all are) is a unique gun that will no doubt be an hierloom in your family. They are the Purdeys and Bosses of the future.
Excellent choice in stock timber. Absolutely beautiful piece of Walnut.
This was a beautiful video. I watched the entire video and never once looked at the time or felt distracted by anything. The process was fascinating. Not that I will ever be able to afford such a gun, but as a double gun enthusiast it was a lovely watch. Thanks.
High end British shotguns and double rifles are some legit works of art. Holland and Holland, rigby, this company, beautiful works of craftsmanship.
It is one of the mastero class wood you have chosen,and the crafting and perfection given is one of the masterclass.Quality at its best....🤗🤗🤗
You said it a beautiful thing good luck with that longthorn a very lucky man Johny just a beautiful gun
Absolutely fabulous video, outstanding workmanship and beautiful guns. 👏
What a gorgeous bit of kit!
Such a refreshing approach to many of the 'accepted' traditional gun build methods. New company new thinking new results.
I wish i had the money to buy one. This is every hunter or shooters dream. So beautyfull. Greatings from belgium.
Jon, congratulations from the central USA, specifically Kansas. Your gun is absolutely gorgeous and I’m beside myself with envy. I’ve been following you for months and really enjoy your content. There is nothing better than a gun that fits you properly. I was fortunate several year’s ago to purchase a standard Beretta sporting O/U and have it fit for me with the stock bent to my dimensions, I’m left handed so not too many people can pick up my gun and use it. My fitter was a well known local gentleman named Michael Murphy and he did a remarkable job. Best regards from the USA.
So much respect to this man and his business. I love it when passionate people are successful following what they love. Wish him the best luck in the future!
Another epic TGS film. Thanks Johnny.
i love his tiny little jabs and poking fun at you having just an emotional rollercoaster ride trying to pick a piece of wood lol
You are only young once John, you have worked hard enough and bloody well earned it. Get out there now and get some lead up them barrels. The gun is beautiful by the way, great to see it from inception to the finished item.
PS A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family.
