[morganrestorations]

Thank you for Vid, Very Helpful Better then the free gun lessons from ------- Anyways well done, I'm a up coming gunsmith. Oh you forgot a screw Just kidding

[agentkapser]

have you heard of a dentist... if yes. they had not heard from you

[TaTeRoxx]

How often to you recommend taking off the cover plates and cleaning inside??

[downeastgunworks]

@TaTeRoxx

It probably wouldn't hurt the gun to do that about every two or three times you go to the range. ie -- every third visit. I say that becuase I generally shoot a few hundred rounds each time I take mine out to shoot.

[Vlander1992]

I'll have to go check um out :) thanks for the heads up

[Vlander1992]

The 73 is probably my favorite year just cause of the naustalgia of the old west movies but If the 76 is similar but just fires rifle round I might just try to find one of them

[downeastgunworks]

@Vlander1992 CDNN will have some excellent prices for 1876 Winchester replicas.

[Vlander1992]

@downeastgunworks thanks i'll have to check them out :) do you know if you can get them in parts and put them together yourself?

[downeastgunworks]

@Vlander1992

A company called VTI sells replacement parts for these guns I think. But to order a bunch of parts and assemble them into a gun wouldn't make much sense. It'd be cheaper to buy a whole gun ready to shoot. And you can't buy the receiver without an FFL anyway. And I'm not sure that they even offer the receiver to the open market, so you might hit a snag doing it that way.

[Tarsan97]

Nice Jim.

I like to ask, are there anyone who make total replicas of the old wild west winchesters. I mean who can shoot real fire ? Regards from Norway

[downeastgunworks]

@Tarsan97 Yes, Uberti of Italy is who made these guns in this particular video.

[Tarsan97]

@downeastgunworks

Thanks for that Jim. I dont want to nag ;-)  But are they true copy's, in the sense that they are made to look totally the same ? I really like to own a yellow boy , and since It is not realistic to buy one from the 1860`es, I wonder if there being made some for the purpose to look 100% the same ?

[downeastgunworks]

@Tarsan97

Externally they look identitcle. Internally there are a very few minor differences. Both of these guns in this video belong to me. They are good guns and I've never had any problems with them.

[MisterBoots92]

Would this be a good reference of design for disassembling an original 1873 Winchester?

[downeastgunworks]

@MisterBoots92 Yes, they are bult to the same specs pretty much. They'll disassemble similarly

[cualado1]

I want this video in portuguese :( the best things Dont are For Portugueses

[downeastgunworks]

@cualado1 That might be a pretty tough thing for me to do. Since I don't speak a lick of Portuguese it might come out sounding like jibberish.

[cualado1]

@downeastgunworks hi, first thank you very much for your attention, I think that if it were possible to the Lord, put some subtitles would help the Portuguese that I have as much difficulty to read and write in English, this time I'm spending all my vocabulary.

Another detail is that your video q cover a greater number of languages​will have more access, because I assure you, many Portuguese like to see this video, we are passionate about Winchester.

Thank you, kindly cualado1

[downeastgunworks]

@cualado1 OK, I'll see what I can do. I'll have to find a way of translating in some subtitles if I can. It might be I can fins a translator program on the internet.

Very helpful

[jumpingjay2000]

My first hunting rifle was a Winchester rifle, in a lot of ways I like it better then my newer bolt and semi-auto rifles.

Thanks Jim for the detailed walk-through!

[TheFirearmEnthusiast]

Thanks Jim!

[CimarronPeacekeeper]

Redesigned Henry design

[norwegianwiking]

thank you for this, i've gotten as far as getting the dust cover off, but i've never been sure about how to get the bolt out so i've not dared try for fear of messing it up.

This is just what i would like youtube to be, a resource for exchanging info that otherwise is hard to find, even with the entire internet available. This is the first time i've seen the complete dissasembly showed in detail.

@norwegianwiking

I try to help as much as I can without getting into teaching gunsmithing due to liability problems. And if you ever get in a bind with your gun, you can always send it to my shop.

[schofield0]

hi good video but you should have mentioned how difficult some of these screws are to remove from a new gun also the bolt toggle pin they can be very hard to remove as a matter of fact have you any sugestions on how to remove a very tight bolt toggle pin
