This video demonstrates the intricate process of fabricating new leaf springs for British side-by-side shotguns when original parts are unavailable. Gunsmith Jack Rowe, guided by Larry Potterfield, details heating, bending, shaping, hardening, and tempering spring steel to create functional replacement springs for components like top levers, hammers, and sears. The process emphasizes precision filing and heat treatment to achieve the correct tension and durability.
This video details a comprehensive trigger job on a Taurus PT 1911 by master gunsmith Terry G. It covers the disassembly process, fitting oversized aftermarket parts like a Wilson Combat thumb safety, adjusting the trigger stirrup for creep, and stoning the sear and hammer hooks to achieve a precise break. The session also touches on metallurgy differences between MIM and forged parts and tuning the leaf spring for a target 4lb trigger pull.
