As a veteran gunsmith that has restored many of these, I can also attest that they are above average difficulty to take down 100%. There’s that one part where you need three hands I’m pretty sure. Well, it’s the assembly that gets you really…

Attention to detail? Where? All they did was remove rust. "Restoration" would have involved removing the pits, re-engraving all the lettering and numbers, and finally a refinish. This video was a joke. Just look at how the guy holds the pistol when he shoots. 🤣

It is still considered a restoration. After all, the main goal is to make something work adjusting; regardless if it's just removing, say, rust And in that case, making the gun in working that it's in firing condition

I wouldn’t say this was restored at all. Not to take away from the effort involved in making it functional, but a restoration would involve polishing out the pitting and restamping as required. Restoration quite literally means to return it to factory condition.

@@TheKinzlerBros the literal definition of restoration is bringing something back to its original condition. If the pitting is that deep, you should not be firing the pistol at all. The metal is only as strong as it’s weakest area, which already exists in the pitting. Go ask Doug Turnbull what a restoration is. I’ve had him do a few pistols for me. They look better than new.
