Hi chaps,
Just finished my latest video showing how an 1830’s Kuchenreuter Bellows airgun works, how I fixed it and how it shoots.
It’s 20 mins long and filmed in glorious 4k so sit back and enjoy, it’s a belter!
Happy Christmas to all.

Matt you total hero! I didn't just enjoy it, I absolutely loved it. Best video you've done so far and it'll be a hard act to follow. It answered about a thousand questions I had. Superb workmanship both by Bartholomeus in making it and by you in repairing and demonstrating it.
The one thing I would suggest, is that you swap the black gloves for white ones.
Happy Christmas.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

Thanks guys, glad you like it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole project and I’m pleased with how the video came out.
Black gloves otherwise the light balance goes out of whack on the camera btw.

Kept skipping past the thread, Bellows Nah, not for me
Look what you've done!
Not only is the video worthy of TV series, I'm hooked.
Thank you Matt, I think

I got intrigued about the idea of a Bellows rifle after shooting ccdjg’s Bellows pistol, so I’m just passing on the interest.
I’ve heard you do see the occasional Bellows gun at Kempton

What a great video Matt. and that you had the guts to take it apart. lucky for me mine is working, well it was last time l cocked it. you have now given me the push to make some darts for it.

I was shown a gallery gun by Segal? of salzburg of a similar age but instead of bellows it had a pump in the butt. The weight of the gun did the work for you. Lovely old world craftsmanship using hand tools plus lots of skill. Many thanks for the video and your outstanding restoration work Mr ptdunk

Super entertainment Matt. Two great skills on display - video making and gun restoration. And what a wonderful gun!
Cheers
