When you use a hammer on a 140 year old firearm, it’s restoration. When I use a hammer on any firearm it’s annihilation. Love your content my friend. Please don’t stop posting. 👍🇺🇸🍻

Mark Novak: The gun wizard.

I never cease to be amazed how well you work cold steel

Gunsmithing Gnome gently hammering the dents out of a grip frame that possibly got dropped on the ground, hard... or "The Peen is Mightier than the Sward."

Sometimes I catch myself going back to brute force. It worked for the realignment of my fridge door. Worked on a bent akm receiver. Don’t want to be the guy holding the hammer when it doesn’t work. Thanks for the tips and great videos!

Watching this was actually more therapeutic than the hour long massage I got today. The video had the happy ending, and alas the massage did not...

I have recently purchased an A. Martin .45 cal. Gentlemans' travelling pistol circa 1850 that has some damage similar to the gun in this video. I was thinking that I would do exactly what you demonstrate here rather than just filing. It was gratifying to see that my intuition was correct. Now I feel much more emboldened to make the repair. THANK you!

In the mid 80's , with my GI Bill , I went from gunsmithing to band instrument repair , for reasons I won't mention here !!! But , what you are showing , with moving metal gently & with finesse , using a small hammer , is done all of the time , with brass wind horns on nonferrous metals !!! & it has nothing to do with how hard you hit it , but more how many times & with finesse !!! A quality job in minor restoration can be had !!!

Thanks so much for showing this Mark! I have already had excellent results working on quite a few guns with a polished hammer after I saw one of your earlier videos.

This method fixes all kinds of issues...but my father-in-laws limp from the rod in his leg is worse now.

bigger hammer?

I want to thank you for all the knowledge you share on YT. I have learned so much about important metal working tips on small items like screws and dented areas. Invaluable knowledge IMO.

Polished hammers are a must, otherwise it will be marks. Got really mad at a person who used my one body hammer to hit a rusty bolt.

I’ve been on the receiving end of this butt chewing as a teen when I used a relatives ball peen hammer hahahahaha

That works remarkably well

"Get back in there" says the polished hammer

Ohff....an expert at work...appreciate the explanation and demonstration. The confidence and results are outstanding.

It's been a good while since I've seen an Anvil episode. Marc's mannerisms bring an immediate smile to my face.

Thumbs Up ! I feel sorry for the gun people who have not found you yet.

Absolutely once you get to filing or grinding it's gone don't rush

The polished 2oz hammer has been a life hack around here

Great video as always sir. I want to be like Mark N when I grow up (and I'm 47).

You can carry a big hammer and use it gently,or carry a little hammer and use it a lot.Different strokes,different blokes.

Thanks for the video.

Thank you

Very useful. Thanks.

I like those little shorter videos, that's cool!

Wow you do amazing work I always enjoy watching your lots of little tricks to learn sometime you should do a video as a Submariner my dad was a tin Can sailor from 37 to 58

Soooooo beautiful. Almost want a one of these pistols.

nice learning

What is the early episode where you show how to polish the hammer?

Just like fixing a damaged parting line on a mold

I see this all the time with old hand tools and such, people always just jump straight to the abrasives before trying to put the metal back into place first. It's still there, why not try to put it back? If it's not too hard of a material at least, I understand it's not as doable on a much harder material.

Harder material would shear before deforming that much anyway... if it could move one way, you can always push it back the other way.

Outstanding!

Last time I heard this much banging was when I came home early!

This looks like it would work on a screwhead. My bolt on my no1mk3 has the screw tightened so damn much it doesnt want to come out. It looks like its spreading apart and maybe thats why it doesnt turn, it needs to get back to original shape. What would you do in this situation. I dont want to order another bolt. Maybe break away or something?

I’ve found this technique works good on buggered up screw heads also.

My screw head on my no1mk3 bolt doesnt turn anymore , its just stuck and doesnt rotate out and when i try it doesnt move. The head looks abit out of shape and im wondering if a hammering and a filing can get the screwhead back to normal looking , then maybe it will come out.

Cute little hammer you have. I have one I got somewhere, can't remember where.

Remember, diamonds are a girl's 'beast fiend' if their mood changes, so never lend them your polished hammer heads : )

Thanks....l an a big fan of your longer video's....But beggers can't be choosey lol

Would a little heat helped you move the metal easier. Would the heat have caused any problems

@marknovak8255

Existing finish would be heat bloomed, refinish necessary. This is the easiest way, not really hitting it that hard.

Its like pdr for guns.

Some of the hammering parts remind me of a Peter Gabriel music video.

Normally I'll try to have some useful advice or anything to add to the knowledge gained here but I have nothing to report, carry on. :)

I have no idea what I'm talking about to be honest, but it seems to me that it would have been better to reverse the order of the first two operations - hammer from the butt first and then from the side, otherwise It kind of looks as if you have hammered that lip you've created into a piece of foil and just folded it over the grip butt. Maybe it's just the lighting though.
