An interesting amateur video about Ferlach gunsmithing made by the film club Ferlach

[Bavarianbrit]

I found it very good as my two kind of nephews went there to become gunsmiths, it is all in Austrian version of the German language but you can get most of the gist as visual.

Select subtitles from the bottom right, autotranslate and then choose English or Serbo-Croat depending upon your comfort level.

This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you for posting it and thanks also for the explanation of how to get the auto translated subtitles. I love the German hunting traditions and the rifles they make in this are wonderful, but the best thing is how they have maintained the skills and are training the new generation in the best of the hand finishing skills as well as embracing modern technology where it can be most useful. You have to hand it to them, the gunsmithing in Ferlach is superb.

Not my usual German amateur video but enjoyable nonetheless.

It's a shame you don't see too much hand crafted work nowadays.
