I’ll have to keep that in mind when I restore this thing, and good to see you’ve had good luck with RTI as well. I’ve been considering getting one of their M1 Grands in the future when they offer the $800 ones againat least.

@@Nathaniel_Reichert777 they said they were having a hard time getting the state dept to approve the m1s for some reason. They didn’t elaborate any further But when boiling strip the parts clean, as in no oil or dirt just hose them down with non chlorinated brake clean or acetone…. And get them as dry as possible. The rust on that vetterli looked like a really fine really even coat that has been put on SLOW over the past 100 years…. It will blue very nicely as is. Or if you want a deeper result apply a rusting agent after the first boil and card. And repeat the process Mark Novak at ANVIL here on RUclips has several great bluing videos Things like sand paper And chemical Finnish strippers are your enemy when doing firearm finishes do not take sand paper to a milsurp unless absolutely necessary…. Scotchbrites and scrapers are your friend for doing wood. I’ve done entire rifles without ever touching a piece of sand paper. Idk how it’ll affect POA-POI but 6.5 vetterli sights are available online… haven’t found an original for the 10.4mm though. If you want to try your hand at tinning/ soldering

@@SoliderearGaming nice! I had no clue you could buy a .44 special insert for an Italian Vetterli. I’ll have to check it out.

@@Nathaniel_Reichert777 It came out about 2 weeks ago, but it is a nice little piece. You can get them at Proteus Armaments

@@SoliderearGaming just looked it up, found it, and ordered it about an hour ago. Thank you for letting me know about this because now I don’t gotta worry about reloading.Not yet at least.

@@poltpickle2530 I’ll have to keep that in mind, me and my brother recently experimented with a bluing substance that we tried on his rifle. It didn’t turn out very even in the end, but he was happy with it as it didn’t have any bluing left on it originally.

@@Nathaniel_Reichert777 Rust bluing (a bluing box) when done correctly will give you a completely even blue every time. You don’t have to do anything other than clean it, place it in the box, wait for it to rust over, boil the parts, repeat until you get the blue you want. Solutions/salts are better if you want different color blues/immediate bluing. With some older home mixes you can get plum purple. “The NRA Gunsmithing Guide - Updated” has blueprints/step by step for an easy bluing box and how to do it. It will save you head aches and rebluing time. If you used the Birchwood Casey product I’m thinking of, you have to apply the blue in straight lines the full length of the part evenly, otherwise exactly what you said happened happens.

@@poltpickle2530 i’ll definitely be looking into rust bluing then. I’m also going to eventually attempt nickel plating.

@@mhaugen692 yes, as soon as it’s available again.

I have one for my calvary Gras. It works great.

where can I find this 410 adapter?

@@mhaugen692 I got a .410 adapter

@@sicsempertyrannis4613 I would get a gallon of rust removing solution and a large tub or any kind of container big enough to soak the whole bolt in. Once it’s soaking leave it in for 24+ hours and that should free things up quite nicely. as for the barrel bands if they’re off of the wooden stock, go ahead and soak them with the bolt. If they’re stuck on the wooden stock, you probably could still soak them as long as your rust removing solution is guaranteed safe on wood. Or, you could maybe just try spraying the rusted areas with some PB blaster or liquid wrench and letting that soak in.

@@Nathaniel_Reichert777 thanks man RTI still has cleaning rods and a reproduction M91 carcano sling which wouldn’t be technically wrong for those of us with the 6.5 training/rear echelon rifles

@@Wicked505 it’s gotta be one of my favorites. It’s not too powerful, not too weak and as long as you’re using the proper low pressure ammo it’s perfectly safe.

@@Nathaniel_Reichert777 are you reloading or using Milsurp munitions

@@Wicked505Milsurp Munitions for now, but I’d like to reload my own someday.

@@Nathaniel_Reichert777 nice I got a box as well but haven’t shot it yet

@@Wicked505 I haven’t had any major problems with it other than I came across one round that had a rather loose bullet in the casing that I could turn slightly. I just avoided shooting it however, the rest were fine.

@@AaronEwell-p8x i’ve been thinking about finding one for these rifles for a while. RTI has Vetterli bayonets listed, but in the description of them, it says they couldn’t find a rifle that was perfect match.

Dents can be brought out, dings cannot, as the wood is missing rather than being compressed. Shellac is your friend when it comes to dings.

@@wagon9082 thanks.

You know the barrel bands are threaded right? Loosen the captive screw at the bottom… and bands will just fall off… rather than prying and gouging and scratching up your stock. …….

@@matthewjames4334 I tried loosening them as much as I could, but I think that maybe some threads are stripped out because, one of them wasn’t loosening no matter how much I turned it, I’ve learned how to stretch them a bit with a screwdriver and that seems to help.

@@Prest0n97 B grade 1870/87 (10.4x47 Vetterli) and an A grade 1870/87/15 (Carcano Vetterli)

One of them is missing a rear sight so it is the B Grade 1870/87 without the rear sights for $200. The other one is basically $300.

@@chaos2232 Don’t worry, already did it, I was asking around on Facebook as well, and everybody suggested I’d leave them with them but all I had to do was think about how crazy the other hens can get sometimes. So I decided to just go ahead and put them in my artificial Brooder, which I’ve already successfully raised countless chicks in.

@Nathaniel_Reichert777 Thank god, is the hen gonna raise them or will you raise them on your own?

@@chaos2232 i’m raising them on my own right now, but the hens are probably gonna eventually hatch some more. I’m checking several times a day to see when that happens and I think by then I’ll be a little bit more comfortable with separating them and the hen into a separate coop by themselves. i’m just deciding to raise the chicks by myself without the hens right now because I’ve done that successfully before, but never from chicks hatched from my own flock.

@@Nathaniel_Reichert777 oh ok, thanks for the clarification! Good luck!

@@carolinaplinker thank you, I appreciate it.

Please separate them

​@chaos2232 You wanna go more in depth with that?

@clockworkNate yes, chickens are very defensive and often will attack each other especially when broody or laying, they could peck at the chick or try to steal jt or it could get caught in a fight and get hurt. A mother hen will kill for her chicks. Please do more research as I'm speaking from my experience

That is a very nice start to a collection. A well rounded assortment. Since I started accumulating in the 70s with a lot of $10-$30 guns, I'm compleatly out of space but that doesn't stop me. At the last 4 gunshows I came home with 5 new ones😊

Thanks

I’m starting to clean up the 1870/87. I’ll have a video on it in the near future.

Same here

I have bought two antiques rifles for RTI (a Vetterli and a Gras) and have the freaking rear sight missing, anyone know why?

@@behindenemylines3361 it’s pretty common with certain RTI rifles, my 1870/87 has a missing rear sight. These rifles spent a lot of time in Ethiopia being used by their military, and for some reason a lot of the soldiers didn’t like rear sights and removed them. I have absolutely no idea why they didn’t like them but the vast majority of former Ethiopian Military owned rifles from RTI seem to be missing their rear sites. In some cases, they offer a $50/$100 hand select option for getting a rifle that actually does have a rear sight.

@@Nathaniel_Reichert777 I guess they were using the “Point and Shoot” method

the milsurp junk when it gets appraised to more then 700 dollars

Oh no womp womp cry about it American kid😢😢😢 Russians helped yall

Glock fan behavior 😒

@@ReggieRegelaru talkin to me?

@@AmiraliAdilbekov no, I’m taking to the guy who posted the “Milsurp junk” comment.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
