#restoration #iconic #winchester
Restoring the famous "Gun that won the west", The model 1873 is widely know for being reliable and very accurate. This made it the perfect firearm for conquering the Western Frontier. This particular one was produced in 1891. The high capacity lent itself to being used in battle and for hunting. This firearm has been all over throughout American history in cinema and in real life. As always I hope you enjoy the video and consider subscribing. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful work. The engineering from 150 years ago is fascinating. My father had a gold plated 1966 anniversary model and a 1967 Canadian centennial model. Always loved those things.

I just love shows like this. I am so mechanically inept that I am always amazed at someone can take something this complicated and then get it back together. I would like to see you, not only take a gun like this apart, but then show us how you place the screws and pieces that you take off so that you know where they go when you put it back together.

I have a Winchester Model 1894 (Mod 94) Manufactured in 1961. From what I understand it was the last year they were assembled by hand. Mine does look a lot better than what you started with, but I wouldn't consider trading it because I bought it for my father. Your end result looked great and after 133 years I know why you pulled the trigger from a distance in the beginning.

There's a micro-welding tool that's similar to a TIG welder. It uses an incorporated dual lens magnifying system to fill in the pitting on older metals like on this rifle! The results are FANTASTIC!! I'm not sure of the cost, yet I highly recommend that you look into one for future restoration projects!!😁
