Why would you bother with an old magazine spring or any of the springs ? they have no value and should be replaced in any case. Do you really know about restorations of collectable firearms ? Because you effectively destroyed most of it's collectable VALUE in your Amateur Restoration.

Its b/c the guns are chemically rusted. Guns do not naturally rust like this. The wood grips would be rotted off of this gun if it was actually in an environment that could cause this much rust naturally. You'd have to leave it by the fucking dead sea for 10 years to naturally get this much even bright orange rust. Shit is fake. All of the springs and pins would be rusted to pieces if it was real rust. You'd have to replace all of them, but he didn't.

This is a 1911A1 pattern Colt, so there's no way it could have been manufactured in 1914. You can tell from the grip patterns, the thicker front sight, the curved mainspring housing, and the longer hammer spur and beaver tail. Edit: After watching through, the frame is from a 1911 pattern, not 1911A1, yet the rest of the features are from a 1911A1. I suspect this isn't an original piece, but rather cobbled together from different parts, as evidenced by the GB proof marks on the barrel.

An awesome work OP, I was amazed how well the gun came out after the blasting. And for guns with rough finishes, Alumahyde II might be worth a try, because it is fairly thick and will cover up a lot of surface flaws. But I wouldn't bother to clean any of the springs, I'd trash every single spring without thinking twice about it.

I could be wrong but in Canada, antique firearms, that's black powder guns made in or before 1897, are perfectly legal. So "IF" in ""Theory,"" you got your hands on an original Colt 1851 Navy Revolver or similar firearm from that time frame, that was in a similar state to the M1914 in this video, then I think you could legally restore it in Canada... Now do take this with a grain of salt, I am not a legal expert, so as stated, I could very much be wrong, so before attempting to do something like this, I would highly recomend consulting an actual legal expert first.

To come by a classic ww1 1911 instead of later 1911a1 variant is really rare. The 1911 had some major design changes between 1921 and 1923, and as a result of those changes came forth the 1911a1 as we know it. Rare and beautiful peace of history!

Very nice. For a while I owned a modern Para 1911, and really liked it. Astonishing how little 1911s have changed in the past century. As he took that old one apart, all the parts that I'd see whenever I cleaned mine were there. There may have been slight changes in other parts, but I never had to really strip mine down for anything other than standard cleaning. Obviously that original design has stood the test of time very well. Thanks so much.
