Restoration of a Seized up 1913 Colt Vest Pocket, (With test firing)
Ойын-сауық
#restoration #colt #seized
Here is the restoration of a completely rusted and seized up Colt vest pocket model 1908. This is a very small firearm that was no doubt carried during ww1 & ww2 as a last ditch effort to protect yourself. This small firearm is chambered in .25 Auto only a small amount up from the .22lr.

The complexity of the design is hidden within the mathematics though, as in spring weights and mass of components. It's a beautiful design, like the cam drive on a Harley sportster , simple and perfect because of that
