Folks that are worried about destroying the collector value by refinishing? Well it only has collector value if it is an antique in the first place. The old Remington he does in another video has a bit of value. BUT packed in rust and mud the was it was it was only a good paper weight. If a gun is restored it is completely refinished with all the original Stock oils, internal parts replaced with factory parts. Refinishing the metal makes it what is known as a 10% gun. Meaning it is at the bottom of the scale for collector values. The only caveat to that is the gun smiths that have earned a name in the restoration business. They are easy to identify by the fact that name is right up front in the sale brochure. What Andre does is a fun and very lucrative business. There are more damaged, neglected guns out there than there are folks to rescue them. Keep up the good work.

Being in fireable condition has a lot to do with value as well. An old rust bucket is not worth much. Even for the a150-year-old gun, is only worth 70$. Because it was in non-working order.

Cool choice. If it was too rare people would have a stroke at restoring it. But this is rare enough but can restore. I’d love to have a project like that to work on. Awesome video.

I'm surprised that nobody commented on how restoring the pistol would dramatically decrease it's value... after all, with so many "Pawn store" shows on TV, we've ALL become antique experts! I've heard them over and over again say how it's better to leave the firearms AS IS instead of "restoring" them... In this case, I disagree. The pistol STILL looks old (you didn't try to buff out all the beautiful patina and replace the wooden grips with new material) and has all of the charm that a piece this old should have! :) Beautiful job!

Never fails. Some concentrated care and attention can make some old and classic look new again. And without replacing pieces or using a bunch of electric grinding. Very nice work.

I understand original finish as it pertains to value, but these things have went beyond that point to the point of ruin. Restoration is their only hope of continued existence with any hope of enjoyment. I could watch him do this stuff all day long.

A rusty item can be boiled in plain water for 30 minutes at a time. It turns the brown rust to black oxide that can be polished with very fine "0000" steel wool. This is how guns were originally finished. If he had done that to this gun, it would have turned out amazing. There's no need for rust remover. Edit: remove the wood first though!

A great step toward a complete restoration. Perhaps some heat on the three immovable screws followed by some penetrating oil would have helped. After cleaning with the steel-wool or even a fine wire wheel brush, I anticipated a bath in copper sulfate (aka buleing) for the finish. Very good as far as it goes. Thanks.

Looks nice! I personally would have blued the metal. Now all you need is to measure the chamber to find the appropriate pinfire ammo and test fire! Well, if you can even find it. Pinfire ammunition has been obsolete for over a hundred years.

I'd have to join the "was wrecked" camp (sorry). By all means clean the guts so it can dry fire for fun, but leave the surface aging alone. If I succumbed to temptation and was going to wreck an antique, I'd give wood and metal a coat of LINSEED OIL. It nourishes dry wood, stabilizes the rust, and forms an attractive protective varnish to prevent further oxidation. Test on any old rusty tools to see the effect. Future owners (and value) will appreciate. But nice video. To each their own.

Why make an old item look new, its old enjoy the old. Gael Yonnet, if you think to restore or preserve is to paint it black with new varnish on the handles, you're helping my case. But all if you purchase an item, that looks real(ish) only to find its a fake, you will all bitch why has this happened, but your not able to take the blame, this is exactly what you asked for. keep old, old, let the fakers try to do the work. I would ask for any museum, how would you like to find and show it.

The Beardy Farmer: Adventures in Agriculture + I don’t think it would matter, the minerals should not affect the process. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia: RUST BLUING, Rust bluing was developed between hot and cold bluing processes. It was originally used by gunsmiths in the 19th century to blue firearms prior to the development of hot bluing processes. The process was to coat the gun parts in an acid solution, let the parts rust uniformly, then immerse the parts in boiling water to convert the red oxide Fe2O3 to black oxide Fe3O4, which forms a more protective, stable coating than the red oxide. The boiling water also removes any remaining residue from the applied acid solution (often nitric acid and hydrochloric acid diluted in water). Then loose oxide was carded (scrubbed) off, using a carding brush or wheel. A carding brush is a wire brush with very soft, thin (usually about .002 thick) wires. This process is repeated until the desired depth of color is achieved or the metal simply will not color any further. This is one of the reasons rust and fume bluing tend to be more rust resistant than any other method. The parts are then oiled and allowed to stand overnight. This process leaves a deep blue/black finish. Modern home hobbyist versions of this process typically use a hydrogen peroxide and salt solution, sometimes with vinegar, for the rusting step [3] to avoid the need for more dangerous acids

Patina doesn't leave rust pits, only rust leaves rust pits, and if its pitting then it needs to be removed. So you try and watch the video closer next time.

Great job sir, regards Carlton

Amazing that a 178 year old black powder gun can be restored

I don't care what people call it. What i know is that's a sawed off shotgun

Haven't seen one of those since 1775, my buddy was Connor Kenway Only some people will get the reference

I had a couple of rabbits that liked to do things fast too.

Now for a quick run down to the local gas station to pick up a couple boxes of that ever present Lefaucheux ammo.

and just like that ... you took the value away .

There wasn't much value in the first place, not a big deal

P3Studios not sure he cares, as I definitely wouldn’t want to sell that. I don’t speak for him, but I’m guessing he doesn’t want to either.
