Winchester Hotchkiss Restoration - Part 1 (Disassembly)

In this video, I'm fixing some wrecked factory signs on this beautiful rifle and as the client didn't know how to disassemble his Hotchkiss, I prepared a little tutorial!
Please don't get confused, this is model 1879, not 1883. Thank you for pointing that out.

    Красивый образец стрелкового оружия! А год выпуска- какой? Сильно его время побило! Похоже на старую американскую школу хотя возможно ошибаюсь. У нас просто мало сведений о стрелковом оружии из Америки! Хотя конмтруктивно- американское оружие очень простое и надёжное! У нас тут в Европе больше ценят Маузера, и ещё Czech - zbroevka! Красиво человек- делает- профессионально! Уровень- супер! Super! Приятно посмотреть всегда на работу-МАСТЕРА!

On the upside you have a lot of work, and can provide for yourself and your family - many people do not have that fortunate luck in these cursed times, with that damn virus and all. Stay safe my friend, and I hope to see more videos in the near future. :)
