A superb businessman, veteran, and skilled rifleman. MidwayUSA is always my first stop for parts, reloading supplies, accessories, etc. Their customer service and service to shooters and sportsmen (and women) in general is on a par with Leupold and among the very best of all businesses in the sporting industry. All the best, Larry!

There is something incredibly relaxing about these tutorials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I could watch this channel for days on end. There is no end to Larry's knowledge or talent for gunsmithing. Where else can you combine machine work and wood working in 1 profession.
Wow, I just can't stop watching these videos. Larry is the man!

I quite sure he has all those firearms.
Simply amazing. It's no wonder those fine English shotguns were so expensive. Their construction is obviously very labor intensive. Great video as usual.
The attention to details is incredible. A true craftsman!
Who wouldn't want Larry Potterfield as the brother that can't tell you "no"? Great vids all of them, thanks.
I must say that I am constantly impressed with the videos that Larry puts out for Midway. The recent series on "The Nearly Perfect Safari Rifle" was great.
You sir are a true professional they broke the mold after you it's a pleasure to watch you work when it's comes to gunsmithing your the top man in my book always doing things in your head first then checking an double checking before you do anything years of experience is the only explanation for that keep up the great work
Larry I've have to say your probably the best I've seen on saving old hand checkering and I really enjoy your work and attention to detail while working on old guns,and the Remington model 11 you did was fantastic
Mr. Potterfield I admire your knowledge and patience. Thanks for sharing your gift.
You make all your projects look so easy . Everything you touch turns to gold,your real name is Midas lol.. Great job well done, keep making videos and I will keep watching and learning. Thank you !
I’m addicted to this man’s videos. Absolutely brilliant,!
Very, very good work! I like your lectures a lot. The way you explain your actions are crisp and clear!
Well done and beautifully executed and illustrated. demonstrating what the firearm industry is about; Quality, Workmanship, and Ingenuity. Thank you. Mr. Potterfield
True craftsmanship right here.
I have watched a few of this chaps videos and he is quite the clever lad. Impressed!
Dear Larry: you are gentleman and a scholar. And on top of a wonderful crafts man. Keep it up.
As usual, perfect job. This is what quality looks like. Thank you!
The attention to detail this man has is astounding
Tnx,there are a couple of things I would have done differently but maybe thats why you are the expert craftsman. That leather finish really made the recoil pad cover pop. I have leather as soft or softer than that but slightly thicker.
That looks incredible Larry, well done ! The leather really makes a statement.
WOW !! finish product look way much better than what i was thinking !! Another great work Larry !
True craftsman. I admire your patience and ability.
This video has helped me confidently do a leather wrap. All your videos after fantastic and pass on skills and knowledge that aren’t shared that well. 🙏🤝
Another amazing instructional video, thanks Midway!
i love learning how to do things the old way. they really teach you the skills
I have learned so much by watching these videos. Love MIdway and Larry
Great job Larry as usual. Your Talent never ceases to Amaze me !!!
It is such a pleasure to see you work.
I was fortunate enough have met Larry potterfield at the 2013 shot show in Las Vegas he was kind and gracious and is as likeable and humble as anyone I have ever met . Kept asking me are you sure we haven't met before lol I said only on TV Mr. Potterfield
Now I know why Larry's hair is always perfect. Attention to detail.
That chalk trick is ingenious, and I wish I had thought of it. Useful way beyond gunsmithing.
I wish to god I could have an in person job or apprenticeship to learn this kind of skill. Truly fascinating.
Wow...that was slicker than ox snot!!! Really nice!!! Larry is the man!!
Amazing! Larry Porterfield is the man!
Didn't expect Larry ti have good woodworking tools.
Bravissimo !! What a craftsmanship !! Beyond any expectation !
Absolutely professional and beautifully masterful work to increase the appearance on a terrific heirloom firearm.
I stumbled across one of your video's today and was blown away by it. I have forward a couple of your video on to friends of mine that love guns. Great video's Sir.
Though the dowels wont be seen. He still makes sure it matches. I love it
Quite a number of simple, but effective, jigs you have to make tasks simpler and more efficient. Interesting video.
The most likeable guy, and so very knowledgeable plus a great instructor as well. By the way Larry: Thanks for improving the search engine on the web site!
This is fairly simple and makes the gun look SO much better. For all the gunsmithing stuff, this is one thing that I think is doable even with my limited skills. ...And I think I can get by (ie wing it lol) without the specific tools. Ya I think I want to do this. Thanks for the ideas and how-tos Larry. Most places would make you pay for access to this much info.
so much work for such little functionality, but its superb craftsmanship and looks excellent on that stock, outstanding work
Really enjoy watching your videos, you are a master of your craft!
Great craftsmanship!
Your videos are awesome, great work and thank you for sharing these skills.
very nice ! I had no idea so much work could go into a recoil pad.
WOW! Thanks Larry!! Some great tips there that I am going to use.
Amazing to watch. Really satisfying
Wow is all I can say. I started my own gunsmithing shop here in indiana called Jay's Gunsmithing and you inspired me to go ahead and follow what I love to do.
This is an outstanding work
Slick operation, looks good and professional , Thanks
Excellent video. Gives me some great ideas to make my recoil pads look better. Thanks for the help.

Larry your a genius 👍 Best wishes from England
At first I thought Larry was dealing with a "kit" but only in that he started with a foam pad- the rest looks like top notch work. This inspires me as I have a Mosin Nagant M44 that loves to kick.
Nicely done. Lots of labor in that project.
Beautifully done.
Great work! A great example of how time consuming it is to create leather items.
Jeez. All that for that! Larry is a really good gunsmith
My, what a labor of love this is!
This is like watching ASMR! So relaxing
Beautiful work
Beautiful work. Thank you.
Very nice work. I appreciate th attention to detail.
Great vid! Fantastic watch. Thanks so much.
This man is a genius and has a very impressive skills and accept greetings Dear sir Mark Calaway
The little things: Dowel pinching, star cuts, anti-bunching cuts under the pad, etc. are the difference between a work of art and something that looks like a toddler made it.
You're a true craftsman sir.
You make it look so easy thanks for this video
Man, this guy really master, working with him will not hungry.
I´,sure that our local gunsmiths don´t know their job like Larry . He´s unique!
Beautiful job!
That was very interesting, I have never seen that kind of recoil pad before.
Very professional. Liked and subscribed!
Marvelous job!
Sir, You are an inspiration. Sadly, I need a leathers pad for my gun as my previous one has died but I am in the UK and you are 4000 miles away.
Larry you are a true expert.
Very impressive Mr Potterfeild!!
Lovely work.
Love your videos. Thanks
Every time I get done watching one of his videos feel like I graduated gunsmithing school
What a job well done!
You are a true craftsman I love your videos of knowledge and learning
great great Video Thank you Larry .
Great video Larry you make it look easy ,if i tried doing this i would probably hurt myself lol.
Properly done, with love for the firearm.
Work of art
You are a master craftsman.
