Gunsmith of Williamsburg

[HKGuns]

Wasn’t sure where to put this one.

It’s been out for a while and I’ve seen it a few times and find it fascinating.

Makes you wonder what this cat would think about “building” an AR today. He’d probably be astounded at the complete lack of craftsmanship.

Hopefully someone here hasn’t seen it and finds it as fascinating as I do……

One of the best YT vids out there, I think. VERY informative.

That is amazing, imagine that wait list!

I saw this video several years ago and appreciate the skills required of an old school gunsmith.

I think he would view an AR builder as an assembler.

Lamp black and draw files; the Good Ole Days.

Surprising an actor and an ABC News guy were doing the talking.

YT used to jerk that video every so often for copyright infringement so good to keep the title in mind instead of a specific poster's copy.

Shows how old I am. While watching I kept thinking to myself that the narrator sounded just like David Brinkley. It WAS David Brinkley. Nice to hear that voice one more time.

Which is accurate for 95% of them. There are some skilled 'gunsmiths' working on ARs, but it's few and far between and most users don't require that kind of work.

This—I watch it yearly, around Christmas.

Yep. This is a great video. I downloaded it to my computer a year or two ago.
