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.

One of the few legitimate firearms restoration channels.
This, RestauraTo, and Backyard Ballistics are legit
Thank you very much we appreciate it a lot, thanks for watching!
your right on with that comment, i really like backyard ballistics. Thanks for the amazing compliment.@@eduardotrillaud696
@@TheKinzlerBros in fact, he has a video where he sort of teaches how to spot fake restoration videos, that's where I've learned to spot them, hence I can say you guys are legit! Keep up the good job lads!
You do realize the firearm are intentionally rusted and then restored. The only thing that's legitimate is you got sucked into believing this .
Thank god for videos without annoying music!! So nice, pleasant and unhurried!
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Thank God for volume control.😮
good job
Yeah shut up
Yes
I have been a gunsmith for 22 years and absolutely loved your video. Always interesting to see other’s approach to restoration. Reminds me of this Colt 1908 I restored that was left in a cheap safe in a garage.
That's impressive, thanks we appreciate it! Ya they are cool little pistols! Thanks for watching
@DieselDrinkerReal lol, no. The owner decided to have it restored.
What do you think of the Evaporust? And was the colt you refurbished finished with rust bluing?
@@tmadd1956 absolutely love Evaporust. Great way to remove rust gently. I like knowing that the product stops once the rust is gone! The Colt I restored was done with Hot Caustic Bluing.
@@TheKinzlerBroswhere do u find so manny rusty guns
Amazing work! Congratulations!! People that do restorations -- gun, cars, whatever -- are my heros.
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching
Agreed- my Heros too!!❤
From a rusty relic to a beautiful Masterpiece, So many people over restore it's wonderful to see someone appreciate every item has a story and history behind it.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I have one in excellant condition
looks like shit with all that pitting.
@@TheKinzlerBros
Some restorers think a relic such as this must be restored to like new condition.
That maybe appropriate for some articles, but not for those with more than 100 year History of near ruination!

Unbelieveble work at a smaller product of Col. Colt. Knew a old cab driver who has got one and took it ( absolutely illegal in Berlin while cold war) for self protection for four decades. God's Blessings from Northern Germany Ludwig.
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for the story and for watching!
This is a John Browning design.
Yup, and first produced by FN, later licensed by Colt. @@elkabong662
I've a bernardelli vest pocket. Inherited it. PA brought it back from war.
That grip safety that was used in those early colt semi-auto pistols was well ahead of its time 👍👍
Ya they invented it, thanks for watching!
Browning was way ahead of his time.
An A+ for firing them. That proves that you made them live again! Good job and good video thank you for sharing.
Absolutely, we always try to shoot them. Thanks for watching!
Wow, talk about bringing somethin back from the dead. Great job.
Thank you we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
So nice to see a GENUINE restoration and not some fake painted on mud etc!! Great job, and nice that you kept it as original as possible. Thank you & greetings from South Africa.
Thank you very much we appreciate it! Welcome to the channel
@@TheKinzlerBros absolute pleasure! Thank you for producing amazing videos! 🙏👍😉
One of the few actual restoration channels, wonderful work on a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much, we appreciate it!
Love colt pistols myself. They have stood tall throughout time. Great work
Thanks Hannah we always appreciate your comments!
Something relaxing and satisfying about watching this. Can't explain. Lol
Well we are glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
I wonder who owned this pistol in 1913? It was around in the Jazz Age and during Prohibition. You can almost imagine it sitting in the purse of a gangster's moll, or in the vest pocket of a gumshoe in New York or Los Angeles. Now you've given it a new lease of life. Thanks for posting this great video.
Ya it's crazy to think about, thanks for watching!
NICE CLASSIC POCKET PISTOL RESTORATION AND FIRING 🔥. GREAT JOB
Thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Neat little pistol! And, again, nicely done!
You are developing a nice collection of otherwise useless firearms. Good to see them saved from the scrap bin.😊
Absolutely, yes we are! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Was thinking the same thing, was good to see some of them in action again! Great video!
Best 👍👍👍Ingushetia
I held the exact same Colt Vest Pocket hand gun on the East Coast during the 1980s. I'm still alive to see it get a restoration and older with gray hair now. I know the Kinzler Brothers can keep a secret. 🗣️ This video was awesome and help me remember my youthful days on the East Coast. 🤠
I'm glad you are hanging in there, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
So crazy to see how little gun design has changed in the last 120 years!
Ya they really are timeless! Thanks for watching
Fantastic restoration and attention to detail.
Greetings from England 👍🏾🇬🇧👍🏾
Welcome, thank you very much we appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
The ziptie over the barrel is genius! I'm gonna use that trick next time lol
Thanks, ya I got creative on that. thanks for watching!
Great job!! Nice little gun for your collection. Definitely worth the effort to restore it.
Thanks we appreciate it, absolutely! Thanks for watching
С удовольствием подарил бы жене такого малыша .
Спасибо за отличную работу и видео.
Ya they are cool, thank you very much! Thanks for watching
Не советую такую игрушку дарить жене,дружище
@@wanderer305 моя спокойно попадает в донышко бутылки , через горлышко с 50 м. Я думаю , с такой штучкой она справится;)
@johnwall3471 да, по банкам пойдет.
Much appreciation for leaving the worn surface in tact. One of a kind and a great restoration.
Ya, I'm never going to take away markings and stamps! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
@@TheKinzlerBros , а если сохранились номер на оружии, его можно законно зарегистрировать?
Прекрасная работа настоящего мастера! Ролик очень хорош, как и интересен реставрируемый пистоль: 6.35 не самый могучий, но смертоносный калибр...
Thank you for the kind words, absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Tak tohle je opravdu zajímavá zbraň na osobní ochranu malá, skladná a proti měkkým cílům z blízka dost účinná👍
That is what it was meant for, thanks for watching!
Excellent work .
Thank you!
Первый раз на этом канале.
Смотрел,затаив дыхание!❤
Welcome and thanks we appreciate it!
Most people would have tossed that old rusty gun in the trash. Great job on the restoration. The bluing procedure was nerve wracking.
Right, thank you very much! Ya it can be dangerous. Thanks for watching
No they wouldn't
great work. amazing how simple they are on the inside.
Thanks, ya this one was!
Let me try again...my comment got sanitized !
You broke that spring on purpose by twisting it on the wrong way!
Anyway... something is not legitimate .the levels of rust and the amount of guns...
Yep. God bless John Moses Browning. Such a simple but yet elegant and effective design.
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
As soon as I saw the image I thought " I hope they use evaporust!" You did not disappoint! I love that stuff!
Ya it works great, thanks for watching!
Great restoration, and Im impressed with the respect for the age and history of the firearm that you show by leaving the external pitting in place.
Thank you very much, ya I don't believe in getting rid of all the pitting!
@@TheKinzlerBros "The correct amount of restoration is as little as possible."
Very well done, excellent skills. Auto mechanic of over 30 years here. I’m familiar with rusty metal and moving parts lol.👍😁
Thanks we appreciate it, right on! Thanks for watching
I have this same gun. Bought it some 30+ years ago. It runs flawlessly, has never failed to feed or eject. I Think I gave 50 bucks for it.
That is a steal nowadays! Thanks for watching
I still have mine as well, the Nickel plating is still in really good shape.
My great uncle bought one new and carried it all over the country as a traveling salesman. I Still have it and the box and price tag that came with it.
Thank you so much. That's my first Kinzler Bros clip and I have to say that's one of the most enjoyable, peaceful 15 mins I've ever spent. Thanks, again.
Thank you we appreciate the support, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Great video! I never thought replacement parts would be available 110 years later.
Thanks, ya it's not always easy. Thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBrosLooks like it was accurate enough not to need an aftermarket replacement barrel. Good show.
❤ Super chaine video de restauration ,,je m'abonne et au passage ...BRAVO POUR VOS VIDEOS !
Thank you very much Antoine we appreciate your support!
@@TheKinzlerBros j ai restaurer le meme pistolet pour une de mes tante en Espagne ,,,cependant ,le sien n'etait pas du tout rouillé, juste il n'a pas servi pendant une quinzaine d'année ! Donc bien sur c'etait un jeu d'enfant pour moi . Je reste abonné a ta chaine youtube, je parle Français et Espagnol alors désolé pour le texte en Français ! A bientot amigo !
Seriously nice job and what a nice antique piece for the collection!!
Thank you very much and it is a great piece! Thanks for watching

It's a shame this firearm was neglected for so long. Well at least it has a 2nd chance at life thanks to the Kinzler Brothers!
Ya it was for sure, thank you we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
This was tough, watched again, fantastic ❤
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I always love your restoration videos and I like your little Colt collection.
Thank you so much, ya we are getting one going!
I enjoy watching you work bro.
Thanks Troy we appreciate it
How wonderful!! Love your video..Very nice.It looks really nice after the renovation. That meat cleaver still has a lot of life left in it. You guys are amazing at what you do. Be even more proud of your talent! You are restoring the emotions of your past life! Another masterpiece!!!! Great job!!!🇧🇷👍😲😲😲😲😲
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching
Good job .....like seeing old things restored 😁👍❤🇺🇸
Thanks, me too! Thanks for watching
Beautiful!!😊 Nice to fire the 3 at the end!
Thanks, yes it was! Thanks for watching!
Nice, you know your chemistry. Only so much one can do about the pitting. I also like the precautions you took when putting that first clip through it. All in all it turned out pretty nice.👍
Thanks, absolutely! Thanks for watching we appreciate it
Nice transitions ! And nice work. 👍
Thanks, we greatly appreciate it!
I had one about this age but clean. A good accurate, reliable shooter. The work your ding is very rewarding.👍🏽
Yes they are and it absolutely is, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
I would never want to shoot something like that, but then again guns are meant to be shot and not safe queened. However I'd make exceptions for something like this or CMP 1911 and 1911A1s. I couldn't bring myself to further wear and tear a piece of History.
Very nice! You've turned it back into a collector's item. Congrats!
Thank you we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Incredible job on that little Colt!!! ❤
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Great job!! It's a relief to see pieces of history brought back to life and then actually get used. Awesome ending out on the range. 👍
Thanks, yes it is. Ya it was fun to shoot. Thanks for watching!
Does it matter that these “pieces of history” kill people?
I get fascinated how it starts out all rusted n seized to a clean working pistol, all the processes you do to restore these weapons, bringing them back to life... I like this little colt.... Greetings from the UK
Thanks we appreciate it, ya it is very satisfying! Welcome and thanks for watching!
Музыки нет супер
Лишней болтовни нет супер

И совсем супер что дал ему пострелять!!!
Ты его оживил
Thanks we appreciate it, ya we always shoot our
restorations.Thanks for watching
Wasnt much left of the rifling but the grooves but it shot well enough. Nice job bringing back such a relic.
No there wasn't but, it did shoot good! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
That zip tie trick is fabulous, after years of covering my pliers in tape to avoid damaging things
Thanks, ya that was me too until I tried this, thanks for watching
Nice Job I think your going to love that gun
Thanks, I do! Thanks for watching
Love the restos you guys do. Be proud of the skills you have, not a lot of people have them

Glad to help, thanks for watching!
Excellent....
Great restoration 👏👏👏
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
John Browning was so brilliant. I love the way the barrel lugs essentially lock the slide into place. And all flat springs instead of coil springs so they don't break.
Yes, it's a really well-designed gun, thanks for watching!
Quality has no age!
Absolutely, thanks for watching
This is a great little firearm and it's excellent for a backup piece outstanding job boys thank you for sharing this six stars my friends
Yes it is, thanks for the kind words Joseph!
Nice work friend
Old is gold
God bless u have a nice day
Thank you very much, absolutely! Thanks for watching!
I love watching these videos before bed. No words, just skill, patience and watching something get TLC. Question: is the blueing required or is it aesthetic taste? Thank you.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, we do it because that was the original finish. It prevents rust but, there are other finishes!
@@TheKinzlerBros gotta love some 100 y/o lil' pistol, finished in Camel tan Cerakote 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great restoration! Great to see it still working.
I also enjoyed the comparison at the end!
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching till the end!
I have one in mint condition and this video show me the correct procedure on how to field strip it. Excellent.
That's awesome, glad to help! Thanks for watching
Incredible work! I love to see a beautiful piece of history revived 🤠
Thanks, me too! Thanks for watching
This is all well and good but what if your Jackson 5 hole was introduced to the business end of the snubby and it went clap 😢
That was one hell of a job. Well done.
Thanks Sundog we appreciate it!
I am impressed. Good job. Good video. 👍😁
Thank you, we appreciate it!
When the mag came out, I was hoping to hear that popular "ta-daaaa" meme sound. It played in my head anyway
Ya sorry, thanks for watching we appreciate it
Desde Bogotá Colombia, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, felicitaciones
Welcome, thank you we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
What a lovely little Pistol and a first class restoration job 👍
Yes it is, thank you very much Stephen!
All that beautiful work really deserves a good polished finish
Ya I know, I decided not to on this one! Thanks for watching
I agree, it looks crappy. Why not do a polished blue? Lots of work, and no finish work?
Excellent work. I was really cheering you on as you fought that thing.
Thank you very much, we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Amazing restoration of a legionary Colt pistol. Thanks for sharing your work and this video!
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching
"Legionary"? I guess you meant "legendary"?
@@muckiderhase157 Madame, you are corrective! Lol. Thanks for the critique!
I applaud your decision to not remove the pitting the little .25 has acquired over the years. I wonder how the finish would have turned out if you had used 0000 steel wool before bluing, just to smooth out the surface. Very nice job.
Thanks we appreciate it, ya idk. Thanks for watching!
Steel wool wont remove pits. 4/0 is a polishing medium at best
He took the rolled marks and edges off sand blasting. Now its non restored and junk
@@JeffRiley-tc6cyyeah junk
I just love everything about your way of making videos, and the types of things you restore.
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching
I had my doubts with this one, except you uploaded the video. You guys have come a heck of a long way with your videos. That fluted barrel was interesting. Nice ending with the three all firing without issue.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Beautiful. Look at that little handsome pistol.
Thank you, ya they are nice little pistols. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Enjoyed it 👍👍👍
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
very excellent restoration. That little gun would look sharp nickel plated!

Good for you, ya it's interesting! Thanks for watching Mark!
Nice job. Love my baby brownie...perfect gun for the purpose it was designed n ultimately made
Ya it is a great pocket gun, thanks for watching!
Beautiful work. Sturdy little gem.
Thank you, yes it is. Thanks for watching!
Another awesome restoration you're getting yourself quite a collection of unique firearms and everyone knows anything made by Colt firearms is worth restoring one day you need to do a video of all your guns you collect it LOL
Thank you very much, ya that would be cool! Thanks for watching
I am truly impressed. Im going to go out and find an old gun that I can restore. 😊
Thanks we appreciate it, good luck with your restorations!
I have this exact gun! My dad gave it to me and said it was my grandpa’s. I looked up the serial number, but I can’t remember exactly when it was manufactured. I think it was in the later 1920s. Great seeing that one brought back to life in the video!
That's awesome, they are a fun little pistol, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Funny, I also have that exact gun . My Grandfather gave it to me ! I think they made a lot of them.
@@joewebb4836 we should start a club
What an awesome little gun and what an even more awesome restoration. Loved it

Haha, right! Thanks for watching
This was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
3 awesome firearms. I have the 25 and the 45, still looking for a 32.
Absolutely, that's awesome. You will find one! Thanks for watching
I used to have a little Beretta .25 that looked just like your Colt. Perhaps one was a copy of the other? Anyway, I bought it off a guy in Colorado in the '70s. I think I paid $30.00 for it. Then I sold it a short time later. There was an old abandoned combine along the side the barn in farmhouse we rented that we used to use for plinking. A .22 LR had no problem penetrating the sheet metal sides of that rusted out old machine but that .25 barely dented it. It was cute as a bug's ear tho. Thanks for sparking the memory of younger days.
I'm happy to hear your good times,thanks for watching!
Great video, gave you a like. At 1:43 if you put the tub on a platform with a small motor on it with an offset weight, you can get ultrasonic harmonic vibrations based on the speed of the motor. A small DC motor is all you need. This will work in the solution better.
Thanks, I have ultrasonic cleaners! Thanks for watching
I prefer not only restoration,but with firing test, better nice
Ya we always try to shoot them, thanks for watching!
Great video! I appreciate how you've perfected your methods over time. Thanks for the nod to the .25 APC. These days that's considered to be not much but, a number of good men were put in the ground with a .25 at point blank range.
Thank you very much we appreciate it and absolutely it is very deadly! Thanks for watching
