Definitely an excellent video. Well worth watching if you are going to be working on any Winchester lever action in my opinion. The whole anvil series of C&R arsenal is excellent and informative!

Re: Winchester 1886 Rebarrel and Rebuild on C&Rsenal
I enjoyed seeing his repair of the mag tube as it's a good fix if you're not planning on restoring a gun. But if it is going to be restored then extending the tube as he did is a waste of time and money for the customer. You can buy mag tubes from Randy Redman at Redman's Liners for a lot less than what man hours cost.
And I can't tell you how surprised I was to see a gunsmith who uses a vise and an adjustable wrench to remove a barrel! It might be fine if it comes off as easy as his did, but it will damage a receiver beyond repair if it's stuck tightly! Every gunsmith I know owns a barrel vise, and action wrench just to avoid harming a gun. I have custom cut blocks I've made for my action wrench, and barrel vise just to ensure they fit, and wont harm my guns.

Re: Winchester 1886 Rebarrel and Rebuild on C&Rsenal
That was good....I've done that more than a few times with (no rebarreling, just complete strip downs) 1886's..and 92's, 94's,95's and one thing for sure, there would not be enough video tape for me doing it. It's a weekend job....no matter how many times you do it, there are different issues that come up and it's time to get the books out. another thing on 86's..the later tubes were screwed in.
There's always a screw, part, or something that someone in the past changed, then you have to retap it, whatever. PITA.
I agree with Marlinman, I have replaced a few tubes....I just bought em, stripped em, then rust blued them.
I could never do it for money...I'd starve.....it takes me about four times as long as the time that real gunsmith does it in.
I prefer working on single action Colts and old model Rugers.....they are no brainers----6
