@@Chasseurdunord eh oui il faut toucher tout les publics !
Yes my brother! I love these kits. I was able to grab a few here for 10USD and glad I have them. It was worth it for the grease alone! The grease is getting harder and harder to find here in the states and these kits are usually the best way to get it. Love that Swiss quality!
That grease is definitly really usefull (i think it's graphite grease). Just a question, what is the round shaped tool used for ? And if you want more of these kits, in europe they sell for 15$, feel free to ask me !
@@thefrenchgunsmith6488 The tool at 4:32 is a patch holder :-) You slide the patch in the notches that hold it while passing through. - Thanks for the offer, I currently have (10) which should hold me for a bit. Really great kits for the money.
That is one beautiful looking rifle
@@BrandonTomlinson-mf1fv thank you, i appreciate that :)
Real nice my friend. Beautiful rifle right there. One thing I will suggest, but is just a personal opinion, is to ALWAYS check under the buttplate. Not just for rust, but I have found some unique items over the years from previous owners and I always make a point to check there on every rifle I take in. You never know what you'll find 🙂 Great video as always and I hope you are staying safe over there.
@@MidwesternFC You're right, i'll check asap. On swiss rifles I always do it, but I never checked my swedish mausers thank you ! Thanks for watching as always, have a nice day :)
Very nice Mauser and all matching # Thanks and great video !
Perfect
Nice find. I always hate trying to get all the cosmoline off. I have done it on several SKS rifles over the years and just when you think you've got it all, you find more that you missed. Keeping in mind that a bad day tinkering with a firearm is still usually better than a good day at work
Very nice thank you for sharing! My M96 is the same production year as your M96/38. Only thing not matching on mine is the cleaning rod, I had to purchase it separately.
Nice video! C under crown mark shows that the rifle was made at the royal armory of Carl Gustaf Stad in the city of Eskilstuna. A rifle made by Husqvarna, has an «H» at the right side.
@@AsbjornsenogMoe thank you !
@@thefrenchgunsmith6488 And BTW, the m/1867 was approved at the same time for both the Swedish and the Norwegian armed forces, as a result of a joint commission. The two kingdoms formed an union 1814-1905. The armies never changed the RF to CF, but civilian shooters did.
My comment above refers to the 12 mm black powder cartridge, not the 8x58RD 🙂 Inspector markings on the action, IdB: Edward Govert In de Betou, P.S.: Pehr Sandahl (most likely), both at Carl Gustafs.
I saw one of these at a flea market the seller wanted $225 for it but it was missing the pin that holds the cylinder in it and the hammer was rusted and stuck in place i offered the seller $150 but they "insisted" that it was worth $225 despite all of the issues it had
@@fintherebel5000 225 for a rusty and incomplete gun is a lot more than what i would have paid. 150 is indeed fair enough. Sometimes sellers are just not ready to accept the value of their belongings...
@@thefrenchgunsmith6488 I didn't buy it cause it was pretty much expensive scrap metal at that point so i went and looked elsewhere and found several other ones that were in way better condition like the one you got but it was out of my price range and i understood that one being more cause it was functional and less rusty, But flea markets tend to have sellers that want to make a million on everything they sell
You should invest in a proper set of flathead screw driver bits
I always use the proper sized bit for the screw so as not to damage it
A bit off topic. But in any way can you please do a video on the model 1892 revolver if you have one in your collection. I cannot find any video on youtube on how to detail strip the revolver.
@@2damaxmr2 i will ! I just need to find one, because in France they usually cost around 1700 to 2000€...
the "B" mark is probably "Befälsvapen" (weapon used for officers training) cit. book "The Swedish Mauser Rifles" - S.Kehaya and J.Poyer - North Cape Pub.
Salut, un petit revolver a broche ne vaut pas tres cher mais 10 euros c’ est vraiment pas cher. Par contre je n’ ai pas compris, tu l’ as acheté ou?
@@superbazoum9426 alors je l'ai acheté il y a maintenant 10 ans en brocante. La personne pensait que c'était un jouet ancien, d'où le prix. Les brocantes étaient plus luxuriante quand internet n'était pas très développé haha
Hi!! I loved this video. Thank God you made it in English. I like French, but I do not understand it well. I am trying to learn it.
@@pedrotome9119 thanks for your comment ! English is a better way to target the whole community. Because fortunatly a lot of people are learning about Gunsmithing and need help.
Another good video keep up the good work
Hi man I have one of those guns it’s not US Army approved but very cool piece
@@BrandonTomlinson-mf1fv I've seen all your other comments, thank you !! The cupfire pistol is really cool and pretty rare. But thankfully for us, the price are not that hight on some of these. Thank you again :)
@@thefrenchgunsmith6488 how much did it cost you if you don’t mind me asking
@@BrandonTomlinson-mf1fv i paid 600€ for it, in my opinion a great deal
Good work love your videos
How do the antique laws in france work? Here in Canada the guns have to be made before 1898, so this one would be considered restricted here (cannot transfer restricted handguns here anymore either) Just picked up the first model of this revolver.. looks un issued possibly unfired.
@@Holf88 in France, if the patent is before 1900 it's classified as antique. But if the patent is modified after 1900 it becomes restricted. Kinda odd if you consider that some Winchester 1897 shotguns produced in like 1953 are considered antique... But I won't complain haha. Thanks for the comment :)
If you want a spring similar to the original you could use a thicker bobby pin. You can soften the metal and reshape then heat treat it. Fixed a colt newline this way awhile back.
Good message. 👍
Great stuff my friend! I REALLY want one version of this revolver as they look great and well made. Unfortunately but also fortunately, I'm getting a new bike so no new toys for me for a little while. Your video keep getting better. Keep up the good work!
@@MidwesternFC That's awesome, what bike ? Thanks, i'm trying new montage/ thumbnails
@@thefrenchgunsmith6488 Its looking good! I'm thinking of an Indian Rogue. Time to move up a litte.
These are so beautiful! Great video showing the internals and inner workings. I have yet to have the pleasure of working on one. Someday! Very very cool and thanks for showing us.
That's true, a pleasure to work with and a robust design. Only flaw, the caliber, 32sw long (7.5 swiss) which is pretty weak. Thanks for the comment :)
good work there French and a nice pistol too.
Thank you ! Another one saved from rusting away in an attic
Great video. Beautiful pistol ❤
Thank you ! I know have both variations of the 1882
Just curious, in France, what is the typical price range for the 1882? I'm curious how it compares to Canada.
If your lucky, around 900€ for the first variation. And 1000€ for the second. But it's usually 10 to 15% more on naturabuy (the french gunbrocker).
Cool. I appreciate that
You did a fantastic job.
Thank you ! I'll keep posting this sort of content
Very nice
Megutae desarmé deloreborve
Great timing, I just picked one of these up a couple of months ago. Such a beautiful piece.
I'm glad I could help !
Good job.
Thank you !
Je ne savais pas qu’ il avait fabriqué si tard. Donc c’ est ok a la poudre vive. Tu peux tirer du 32SW Long. Tu m’ as donné l’ envie d’ en acheter un. Encore des frais en perspective!
Oui oui j'essaie justement d'en trouver ! Après le soucis c'est que les cartouches sont en B... Mais oui tu devrais essayer d'en acheter un maintenant, le marché est assez bas qui plus est.
@@thefrenchgunsmith6488 j’ en ai achete un chez Azur Armes. Ca part assez vite, je n’ ai pas negocié. Disons que ce n’ est pas cher pour du D etant donné l’ etat quasi neuve de l’ arme.
@@superbazoum9426 de même ! Sur azur armes ils sont à un prix honnête, et non les 1400€ de natura... Je trouve que vu la qualité fabrication et l'état quasi neuf de la plupart de ces exemplaires, 950 à 1100€ est un prix juste.
Like 🇧🇷🤜🏻
Thanks !! 🇫🇷🇫🇷
Nice job. I love the Bic spring. Those and hair pins are my go to sources for small springs
Cheap and always on hand haha
Way to be resourceful. Enjoy that feeling of accomplishment. Feels great to be able to fix problems. Great work!
Thank you ! I'll do a full lenght episode on the colt new police
Love seeing the disassembly. Always fun to learn something new. Thanks for showing us!
What a beautiful revolver! Awesome bore too. Real nice my friend. I'll have to keep my eye out for one of these. I have to agree, one of the best looking military revolvers ever produced. Enjoy it!
They made 37 000 so they are pretty common (in europe) and I hope in the US. I need to find some 32 sw now. Thanks for the comment as always :)
Fantastic pistol. In Canada, that one is to new to be antique status but the ones made prior to 1898 are antique. I will have a video up some time of my Swedish Brevet M1887 in 7.5mm Swedish which is for all intent and purposes the same cartridge. I do shoot 32 S&W long wadcutters out of mine but some of the cases rupture as they are slightly smaller than the Swedish/Swiss cartridge.
I absolutly agree, those revolvers were very well made and can handle modern 32 sw with no problems. The swedish 1887 is also very cool and I need to get my hands on one. Is your model still in good shape and accurate ?
stellar shape and not bad for accuracy. I have not loaded propper ammo for it yet but plan to and look forward to seeing how they perform. I also found some modern ammo from Fiocchi but it cost $3 a shot so I'm saving it@@thefrenchgunsmith6488

Très bonne vidéo !! Il est juste magnifique aussi
Mercii il est sympa hehe
Salut. Tu vas defendre les finiada et autres détenteurs condamnés?
Bonne question ! Personnellement je ne me vois pas être avocat pénaliste. Je préfère le droit public. Alors qui sait, peut-être que je défendrai les forces de l'ordre ?
Great collection right there! Three examples I would love to add someday. Great video by the way. Very nicely done.
Those are some nice rifles. I do love lever actions.
Very interesting carbine.Your explanation sounds plausible, as most non factory mismatches are not that nice. I have a Spencer sporting rifle and that stock is definitely from a factory sporting rifle. I visited the Chateau de Vincennes a few years back where they made Spencer ammo for those guns. Your English is very good, thanks for posting.
I just saw your video on your example, a very nice Spencer too. Vincennes is a pretty nice city haha, I m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment :)
Whatever you decide with this carbine, its really awesome. Looking forward to updates. Saddle rings are the coolest
Saddle carbines are my favorites, easy to carry and very cool looking ! This one is no exception
Probably be a decent shooter. I also have a saddle ring carbine in the 21k sn range. Looks to have some of the same features of yours. Thanks for the video.
That's a fine rifle indeed. I'm curious about your example, is it in 45-70 or 50-70 ?
@@thefrenchgunsmith6488 yep 45-70. All the model1873s are 45-70. Before that they were 50-70 from 1866-1870.
Hi FRENCH that is a real nice trapdoor and in great shape THX for showing.
Thank you ! A nice adding to the collection
875 is a smoking price! Well done!
I'm pretty happy with it honestly. And after cleaning the bore came out even better
Such a gorgeous piece!
It is, and I plan on buying some more in the future ! I have big things coming next week (but cowboy stuff this time haha)
@@thefrenchgunsmith6488 excellent, I'll be watching!
Wow, another piece I'd love to have someday. Congrats! Especially if you are not shooting it much, its a great addition to your collection at that price. Enjoy it my friend and thanks for showing us. PS: Real nice video.
Thank you ! It is a really nice rifle, but honestly a pain to work on... Appart from this, something big is coming soon ! Thanks for the microphones :)
Chouette!
Une super affaire !
Great find!
Absolutly !
Félicitations mon ami. Votre travail acharné porte ses fruits! All the best.
Un bon français ! Bravo :)
