This video showcases a comprehensive gunsmithing project on a Winchester Model 67 rifle, transforming it into a 'Deluxe' version. Larry Potterfield demonstrates advanced techniques like stock reshaping, recoil pad installation, glass bedding, barrel shortening, recrowning, custom sight work, bolt jeweling, and trigger gold plating. The project highlights how fundamental gunsmithing skills can be learned and applied to improve an affordable firearm.

This video from GunTec features Larry Potterfield, CEO and Founder of MidwayUSA, demonstrating how to thin the comb of a rifle stock. The process involves marking the area, filing it down to achieve a desired angle and thickness, and then blending the newly shaped comb back into the buttstock. The technique aims to improve the aesthetic appearance of the rifle stock, specifically on a Winchester Model 67.

This video demonstrates how to install a recoil pad on a Winchester Model 67 rifle, a process applicable to other firearms. Key steps include preparing the stock by drilling out old screw holes, ensuring the stock pitch is zero for perpendicularity to the bore, and carefully sanding the butt. The recoil pad is then attached, scribed, and meticulously ground to fit using specialized fixtures and a disc sander, ensuring a precise and permanent installation.

This video demonstrates how to install a front sight on a rifle, specifically a Winchester Model 67. The process involves removing the old sight using a brass drift and hammer, measuring and marking the barrel for a new length of 23 inches, and cutting a new dovetail using a Wheeler Engineering fixture. The video emphasizes precision leveling and careful filing to achieve a proper fit for the new sight.
