Now if gunsmithing wasn’t enough, right? In this little box of goodies that I got right here, right? You got to get your own box and now somewhere around here, you are going to see, I got… Well, I’ll show you the video one of these days, if you continuously follow along with me of all the books that I have in my garage, that like these boxes.

Right. It’s the standard large United States postal box, right?

Are full of books, I’m trying to incite people, to buy books, to create libraries. As you can see, I got books here. If you look on the other side, I got books there. This is just my personal, it’s just like one of my rooms. So this is not my library, my library’s in a different room, but I got all these books.

Back to pistolsmithing. So, we learned gunsmithing and now let’s do pistolsmithing. A Better picture for you. All right. We got the law in the handgun. A place the work and the tools needed. Want to learn how to make a pistol? Files and filing, metal joining, hardening and tampering, how they work, minor repairs and adjustments, repair and replacement of handgun, stocks, site, alterations, and installations. Double action. Revolving tuning and timing, ring fire handgun problems, refinishing.

I didn’t know there was this many chapters. I’m not going to read them all. There’s 30 chapters plus an appendix. So , I’m not just not going to do that. Auto loading pistols, combat conversions and customizing. I mean, that is maybe you guys don’t like guns and weapons, but that literally… I don’t even know how to print it. I’m going to say that again and if you’re like me, then, you know what it’s like, if it’s like candy and a kid’s store. Auto loading pistols, combat conversions and customizing, right? If, that just doesn’t get you all excited…. I don’t know, maybe you just don’t like guns. It is cool, that’s fine. We all have our own things.

Three 20, all right. Auto loading pistols, combat conversions and customizing. Person uses a big boar Arlo and pistols have become dissatisfied with the standard products of the major manufacturers. The burnable Colt 45 M 1911 auto long, the principal choice among fast fires was finally recognized to be far heavier in bulk yield than bulkier than was really necessary. Pistol learells, one of the power and the characteristics of the big Colt Browning design, but did not wish to carry around it’s too… Wow, yeah, that makes sense. Two and a half pounds and generous dimensions. Quite likely the initial emphasis was given to the line of thought when coal introduced its lightweight aluminum frame version of the M 19 or 1911 in 1947 and gave it the name, the Colt commander. You got pictures, please tell me you got pictures of the Colt commander.

No pictures of the Cult Commander, that’s horrible. So, I’m not going to just read the story to you because I’m going to do that by myself. I’m better at reading in my head anyways. Reading out loud I stumble words. So we will go over this, typical modifications and accessories listed below are the various modifications accessories with which are applied to the big 45 and the name of combat conversions. So if you want combat conversion, this is what you do. Shortening barrel and slide, eight accurizing, I don’t know what that is. Installing target or special sites, reshaping hammer, spur and grip safely, or safety. Reshaping trigger guard to form a forefinger rest for the offhand in two hand shooting. Like this…

Checking or stippling, front and back strap. Installing speed type thump, safety installing speed type slide stop, fitting special grips, matting or checkering all I word surfaces, prevent layer, adding soft magazine basis, special troating and tuning to hot, to feed high performance ammunition. Special magazine followers to improve feeding, removing excess metals to reduce the weight special finishes to befriend corrosion, conversion to double action lock work installation of thumb operated clock clocking LIBOR. So I guess, they’ll been able to hit your hand like this. Enlargement of trigger guard for gloved use. Replacement of frame with independently manufactured, aluminum alloy frame, caliber conversions to 0.38, super nine millimeter P, 7.65 P et cetera. This is a lot, right? The chapter is close to 30 pages, I’m already at seven. Man, I’m already at seven minutes. I’m supposed to make these minutes, five minutes.That’s it, five minute videos, right? You could have made two more videos man.

So, I’m going to read, and then you can read the Lorengau article. I apologized seven minutes supposed to be five minutes, this is taking me longer than I want, but it’s actually pretty interesting. Let me see if you can see the pictures. So it really shows you, how to kind of break it down. I don’t know, I’m going to try to get… I mean, you see all these pictures, so it will take me 30 minutes just to go through all the pictures. So what I’m going to do, is write the paper.

Make sure you get to the second part of this, right? And you read my article that I have not written or not wrote yet, but I will write after I read the entire chapter and then there’ll be another video, which you’ll be able to upgrade and you can watch me go through the whole chapter. Until next time.

All right. Some books it’s impossible to really do, like a work book. I’m going to put that one back in the box. I looked through it, tried to make a little video, but I don’t know anything about big trucks systems right now. I’d have to read the book and then the workbook makes sense, right? It’s a two-step process.

So we’re going to go to Complete Guide to Gunsmithing. This one right here.

So there’s other books; The Art of Shooting, The Complete Guide of Gun Collecting. I got a lot of these guys’ books. Is this one of his books? Something Jr. Charles… Nope, this is a different one, Pistolsmithing. There’s a lot into these things.

Lower y’all a little bit. I know you guys can’t really see. I wish there was a way you could read the page too, but whatever. I seen something that looked pretty interesting. Yeah, this has a lot. I’ll show you kind of the different chapters. There we go, yeah, because then you can kind of read your own chapters. I’ll show you what interested me. Oh, they got illustrations, right? That’s always nice.

Remodeling Military Rifles. Right? Where am I? This one here, kind of look over. All right. But they also have illustrations on how to use a steel rule, how to use dividers, workbench for gunsmith, gunsmith tools. So it looks like they’re literally kind of… Oh, whoa, yeah. Look. And their drawings. If you want to learn how to make a gun, then this is how you do it, right? Not like a 3-D printer gun, but an old fashion, real gun, wood and everything.

All right. 323. Oh yeah. Look at this. I mean, it literally breaks everything down. Someone drew this. 323. Military rifles are preferred by an overwhelming majority of hunters for several reasons. They can be bought at low prices from the United States government in times of peace, the ammunition is readily available in all parts of the United States and Canada, they have high velocity and flat trajectory. Both the arms and ammunition are highly accurate, they are rugged construction and require a minimum amount of repair work. They’re designed and built to fit the average man’s body. Gunsmiths and gun supply houses are well acquainted with their characteristics and keep a good stock of replacement parts on hand. And, finally, a great number of men and boys become familiar with them from carrying them in the various high schools and private academies, the National Guard, the state guards, the state militias, the neighbor reserve, the neighbor militia, and the regular armed services. For these reasons we shall constantly create this discussion upon the military rifles of the United States in general use today. But our remarks will apply with considerable force to other military arms.

I mean, usually I don’t really like reading a whole paragraph, but the way they put that was, I almost couldn’t stop reading. I don’t want to stop reading. I’m already interested. It’s going to be difficult, I don’t want to read the whole thing to you.

And then it goes into the M-14, the 7.62mm, or millimeter, the M-14. Wow this is cool. You see what I’m saying? They literally break it down for you so you can.. So what I’ll end up doing with this one…The Springfield rifle. Oh, wow. So the Springfield rifle I’m pretty sure they used it to fight the Indians, or to slaughter the Indians. Is that the Springfield bolt action rifle? Which one are they talking about? Yeah, see? The Springfield, I don’t know if you can see it. See the bolt action? Super accurate. Yeah, see? You can see it right here.

You can pause the video and you can look over the parts more yourself. Yeah, the United States rifle caliber .3 model 1903 is a breech loading magazine rifle of a bolt type, is commonly called the Springfield rifle. It was a principle infantry weapon of the first world war. It was used in action by the United States Marine Corps during World War One and Two, to some extent during the Korean war, and in some small wars. The Marine Corps fought overseas from World War One to the Korean war. It was used by landing forces of the Navy, when they went ashore with Marines.

Officially this rifle is now obsolete, but it is one of the guns of glory and is used by thousands of civilian hunters and marksman. It is described and illustrated in this chapter as it existed in 1917 because this is the original fundamental form from which later modifications were developed. See plate 33.

All right. This is more than just quick guns, right? Because we’re from the Springfield rifle to… Oh man, this is terrible. This is way too many pages. There’s no way I can break this down to 400. I like it. Right. I like this book. It’s very interesting. It’s one of those books you can truly get lost in for a while. I already talked seven minutes so I got shut up. So I’m going to talk faster. Well, no, probably not. I’m going to talk about Springfield, redoing the military rifles, and then the M-15, is that what it was? The M 14. All right.

Welcome back. For this episode, we’re back in the big library. Look at that, I got two of these books. Fact, fantasy, emotional factors in, no, the inner personality of… Psychiatry, nightmare, dreamscapes, how things work…

I like this. Frontier Pistols and Revolvers. This is for all your gun fanatics out there. Let’s do a little research on some old guns.

All right. We got firearms in American history, Samara Colt and the modern revolver. Sorry. So you guys can see me. All right. The Civil War, boxed and engraved, armed Smith and Wesson, the Colt Peacemaker and his competitors at the card table, the dawn of modern firearm…

This [inaudible 00:01:47] book is actually really interesting. Well everybody knows what Smith and Wesson is. So let’s, no. This is difficult. I should be live so you guys could help me. I want to read the card table and the Colt Peacemaker, and… I want to read all of them as a matter of fact. Yeah, we’re going to go ahead and go with Smith and Wesson. Everyone knows what Smith and Wesson is.

68. Oh yeah. Look at these pictures here. Here let me show you. This is Civil War. We’ll go, flip through them. Yeah, it’s 68.

All right. Put you back where you can see me. Working in manufacturing… All right. So a little history of Smith and Wesson. Working in the Robbins and Lawrence Cannon Factory in Windsor, Vermont. There were two gunsmith, Horace Smith, 1808 to 1893, and Daniel B. Wesson, 1825 to 1906. There are two names appeared together for the first time on February 14th, 1854 on a patent for a repeating revolver, the Volcanic.

On June 20th, 1854, the Smith and Wesson company was founded and began production of this pistol. It was a financial disaster however, and the two inventors ended up selling off the patents and their machinery, but they had other plans in mind and they were already working towards a release of a truly revolutionary revolver. In 1857, the year the great Sam Colt legal monopoly was due to expire. In August of 1854, they registered a patent on a small metal case cartridge, inspired by the work of Frenchmen, Flobert. It was the birth of the modern rimfire cartridge. Okay.

And then, like I said, we’re getting close to the five minutes. So I won’t… But there are some great pictures in here. Let me show you this real quick. I mean, obviously I’ll go through and show more pictures and things on the longer version, but I’m trying to keep these to five minutes. So I hope I sparked your interest on a little bit of Smith and Wesson and the volcanic repeating pistol. Here we go. So this is the pistol that in 1851, they patented. Manufactured by Volcanic Repeating Arms Company, New Haven, Connecticut. They manufactured 3000 of them. Damn. Self-propelling.

Yeah. So we’re at the five minute mark. If you want to hear more then, again, like, share, give me a comment, if you want to learn more about this book, if you’re interested in it and yeah, this is really interesting. Here I’ll show you it real quick. Like there’s just four more. Wow. They got a whole bunch of… Yeah… Hold on one second. Oh, wow, yeah. Yeah, look at these. I have to look at this. So yeah. Push the button, find the link wherever it is. And let’s go over this book, it’s really interesting. If you like guns. If you don’t like guns it’s not interesting, but I like Smith and Wesson and I like pistols, so it’s really interesting. I like this. I like that one. All right? The way it’s made. I like that one too. Hold on. Wait, let me show you a little bit, going to be fast.

All right. So we’re going to go through each one of these guns. Right? Wow. Commercially, 70,000 contracted Russia from 1873 to 1878. Look at this one. No, it’s this one. Look at that. I had no idea. So we’re going to learn a lot about Smith and Wesson. I had no idea that they… Look at this, another commercially contracted to the Russian, the first model. Look at that. Well, obviously this is the first one. This is the second one. And this is the third one. Wow. They did 41,000 of these to Russia. All right. That’s very interesting. I can’t wait till we get into this. This is going to really be interested. Look at, there’s some more. Talking about Japan. Oh, I’m sorry. We’re over the five minute mark. I apologize. We’ll get into more of it, but down below.
