The gun fires. I’ll post to Instagram soon. With The new KZread regulations I don’t want Risk a demonize vid by showing the firing of this rehabilitation. Thank you. Further more. I didn’t blue it because the pitting was so deep all the engraving is nearly gone. I didn’t take it completely apart because several of the screws didn’t come out. When I realize it would work either way I opted to put it back back together rather then risking breaking a connection or a screw. For all you pro gun guys crying this was s**t ..remember we all started somewhere as an amateur and became a pro. Consider this the start of my gun smith education. 🤟🏼

If you don't know how to properly restore firearms, it's best for your safety not to. This one seems to have been properly stored(for the time) way back because you can see the paper still stuck to parts of it at the beginning. They used to store old guns in a tar/oil like substance then wrapped in paper and bound to prevent extreme rust and foreign objects being lodged in the firing mechanism/barrel. Over time the barriers broke down and it did eventually see some rust and wood degradation, but not near what an improperly stored gun would. A gun that old with no protection from the elements would likely be beyond repair without many man hours from a trained professional.

Rust on the outside usually means rust on the inside. If you're into guns at all I don't need to tell you why a corroded inner barrel is bad news

Good Sir, I've been watching your videos for a few years now and I gotta say, this my favorite! Just something about breathing renewed life into a vintage firearm!! I appreciate how you left it original as well! I am refurbishing an older model Ruger Mini 14 now myself! Second day of vinegar bath and rust is peeling off of it! I can't wait to put it back into service!!

This is the type of restoration I like. Some people would’ve trashed the stick and create a new one that looks nothing like the original. You kept it original and vintage, and that’s super respectable

I love it! I just recently disassembled an old Sears single shot break action 12-gauge that I inherited 25 years ago. I sent off the metal parts to get reblued., which is going to cost more than the thing is worth. But it was my grandfather's so it's worth it to me.

Thanks so much for this, loved every minute and just goes to show what patience and skill can do, also loved the speeded up tapping and dialogue, made a light moment in a serious restoration. So well done, love this!

First video I’ve seen where you left the gun looking like an old gun and not overdoing it or bringing it back to brand new looking. Very well done.

There was nothing wrong with it other than a single spring, mechanically. The cleaning took care of that. What he did to the rest of it is butchery. It could be a several thousand dollar gun. As it is, it's worth about $100. Or what he paid, and the labor was a loss.

I have a 1873 in 32-20, still in great condition, its been in my family since it was purchased, its the prize of my collection. Love seeing this one get restored to its former glory.

Beautiful work. You took a craftsman's work older than you are, treated it with respect and TLC, and brought it to a proper condition to last even longer than you will. It's a beautiful thing to make things that outlast us, and to preserve the works of the past for future generations.

Anyone complaining about this restoration is a fool. There is a big difference between removing the patina from a gun which has aged under good conditions and is still fully functional, vs removing red rust from a gun which has been so badly neglected it no longer works, and restoring it to working condition. Removing patina damages value, but that is not what is occurring in this video. This is an excellent restoration of a neglected piece.

so biden poluskee shummer can take them to the scrap yard like the limmys did down under

the best rifle restoration video i have seen so far, almost no epoxy resin and no paint used.

I really sorry for not be you a visit in your shop/garage or something else when I was in NY in 2017. Your are the best. Hugs from Brazil.

This was probably one of the most satisfying videos I’ve watched in a very long time. Very nicely done !

great comment sir benjamin

beautiful restoration, thank you for bringing such a work of are back to life

Mr, DiResta your work on the 1873 is no doubt very good restoration work. In my book you very talented and clever. Keep up your products to when first done. You are in fact are a Restorer Not A Re-Finisher. Kudos my friend!!!!!!!!!!!! Your Headstone video was also impressive. I.m glad to see someone for a passion for history and antiques.

Great idea for the evaporust “tank”
