    New Video: Bellows gun fix’n’shoot

    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.

    Cheers,

    Great job and very enjoyable to watch, bellows airguns are now no longer a mystery to me. It certainly spits that dart out with some authority!

    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.

    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.

    Cheers,
    Matt
