Here is first for the channel, a double barrel sxs shotgun. This is an old hammerless shotgun made by Hopkins & Allen back in early 1900 before they went out of business in 1917. This will not be the last double barrel on our channel since I have had one waiting on parts. As always hope you enjoy the video and consider subscribing! Thanks for watching.

Once again, totally amazed at the amount of parts in these guns and how they go together.

Doom2 in the 90's conditioned me in my youth to always love a double-barrel shotgun.

My grandfather had this shotgun. Told me he bought it from his neighbor just before the stock market crash of October 1929. That squirrel butt plate hit me like a ton😢 Just seeing it reminded me of him. Thanks for the memories, best of luck 🍀, god bless.

I keep waiting for you all to overhaul my gun (not my actual gun but a) Winchester model 12 breakdown. Mine is a 16 guage.

I absolutely love sideX side shotguns especially the older ones

I acquired an old side by side shotgun very similar to this one, and want to restore it. It's the reason I found your channel. It would be my first restoration attempt and after watching you struggle with the receiver I may have to reconsider it as a first project.

Amazing to think, someone somewhere, just happens to have a spare right trigger for a 100+ year old antique Hopkins and Allen shotgun, just laying around! Superb resto as always. Fascinating to see the action of a hammerless gun like this. Cheers.

Another geat restoration. Thanks for your gunsmith job....❤

Double barrel shotguns look deceivingly simple but there is a lot of engineering packed into a small volume. Appreciate the narration. If you ever happen across a Ruger Number One you'll find the same thing. Great resto, enjoyed it much. Thanks guys!

Just introduced to the channel. Now I gotta go and watch all the stuff you have already done.
It’s amazing to me that most people consider an old shotgun as junk. They are so well made. I have a few, my favorite being an old coach gun. It just makes me smile.

This restoration video is absolutely fascinating!! Watching the process of bringing the 1908 Hopkins gun back to life is truly impressive. I wish it should have fired it !

You made the right call on no test fire. You still did a fantastic job and it is a beautiful piece of history.
