Cool, I had to figure out all this stuff on my own long before there was a youtube to show me how. Kids today have it easy.

Yeah that's one of the best ones I have seen. He takes it slow and makes it easy to understand. Like the Victory revolver too.

If you can disassemble carburetors and engines then put them back together again in working order guns are not a real challenge. A bit of mechanical aptitude plus taking your time to examine everything carefully before you start ripping things apart helps. Back in the day that's mostly all we had, plus a few books with exploded firearms diagrams. These days few people learn to work with their hands and their brains, these are the people who keep gunsmiths working and entertained when they bring in a pile of parts that was a gun. The man made a nice screwdriver, I use something similar myself for firearms and disassembling Victrola motors, but I make mine from old Craftsman screwdrivers. they are cheaper and easier to find than vintage Proto. Option two is to buy a set of Grace ( USA made with wood handles) gunsmith screwdrivers that come with reduced shanks, and sized for machine screw use. They aren't that expensive.
