This is a restoration of a true iconic gun, the Colt 1911 made in 1914. Chambered in .45 ACP made for the U.S. Army. This firearm no doubt seen the war theaters of WW1 & WW2. The barrel was replaced due to use I would assume. This gun was just rotting away somewhere until I acquired it and brought it back to life. If you enjoy the video, consider subscribing for more restorations. Up next is an M1 Garand found in a river back in the 1980's by a scuba diver.

John Browning was an "off the Charts" GENIUS in designing the 1911.......and so was your restoration!!!🎯🥇🏆
Thank you very much, we appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching
Especially when it comes to make overweight garbage.
It wasn't John Browning who designed the 1911. His sister Johnna Belle was the brains behind the whole operation.
@@wapiti3750 ❓
Why would you bother with an old magazine spring or any of the springs ? they have no value and should be replaced in any case.
Do you really know about restorations of collectable firearms ? Because you effectively destroyed most of it's collectable VALUE in your Amateur Restoration.
I don't normally watch these videos fully, but the fact that there was not annoying narration and it was just calm to watch. Great job.
Thank you very much we appreciate it!
@@TheKinzlerBros Much, much better without the narration or anything extra. Very soothing actually.
You are so right !!
Gun ASMR!!! lol
@@NGRULESA fine example.
No narration, no music. Just tools. PERFECT
Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
I know right. Soothing. ManLy ASMR
That was worth 18 minutes and 30 seconds of my life. The Colt 1911 has always been my favorite pistol. Simply beautiful! Amazing job!!!
Thank you very much, ya mine too! Thanks for watching
The truth is, a clean and excellent job, I congratulate the person who did that beautiful job with the The Colt 1911
Thank you very much for the kind words, we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
My sceptical mind can't process why all these weapons have deteriorated and rusted in an identical way with same uniform patina?
We we find them magnet fishing or buy them from whoever has them, thanks for watching
One of nature’s true mysteries
The rust didn't look like the sort of thing that happens accidentally
Could’ve been left in a basement that was flooded
@@TheKinzlerBros"we we" stop lying
109 years old and still going strong! JB's design is still one of the best ever auto pistols!
Yes it is! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Only a matter of time. The toggle-lock will pick up steam soon; I feel it...
@@KorporalNoobs well, that's fine if so. any gun design that can go over 100 years of solid use has a great record. in fact, people are even still using colt single action army revolver designs today, so that one is even more timeless perhaps.
but it can't feed hollowpoints
Exactly so it is the best and real guns are steel guns.
Obviously, an expert!! I have an old Auto Ordinance 1911 I'd like to restore.
Thank you very much! That's awesome, good luck and thanks for watching!
The M1911 and M1911A1 are icons of American history - one of the longest serving firearms in American Military History and for good reason - a very well designed, powerful and reliable side arm. Incredible to think that some special forces had been using these (and may still be) over a hundred years after it's original use prior to WWI. A masterpiece in American design and thank you for sharing this restoration video - very interersting.
Absolutely, thank you very much and thanks for watching!
It's still favured by some companies. don't remember which ones, but it's still activly used. tho most others have moved on to other hand guns.
As a gunsmith who hasnt worked on guns in over a year this was so therapeutic to watch. Thanks guys
Thank you very much, we are happy to help. Thanks for watching we appreciate you!
@@TheKinzlerBros where did you find it is that lucky? In a waterfall I once found an old rifle bullet it was .03 much longer than the 7.62x39 but unlike the 762x39 which has a sharp point this one had it as a marble.

👍👍
What about ballistic recertification etc?
I used to use Gwownell's blueing salts but I might have to try your mix of chemicals to see if they work as well. The Brownell;s salts did the best job I've ever seen and my customers said the same thing over the years.
I have watched this video two times. It's just so satisfying to watch you restore this wonderful gun.
Thank you very much we appreciate your support!
This video made me happy, like watching a stray puppy find a forever home kind of happy.
I am happy to hear it, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Fantastic job. Everyone loves a good 1911
Thank you very much and you're absolutely right on that one!
I don’t. Mostly cuz I don’t have one 🤣
Everyone but James reeves of tfbtv, he has a burning hatred for this gun.
Except lefties
Everyone is not the population outside US
Those heavy rust pits you can never really get out but for what you started with it was an amazing job and to get it back in firing condition that's great. I have an original U.S. Army Colt 1911 passed down to me from my Grandfather to my uncle then my father and then to me it still is in all original condition and has 95% blue and fires perfectly. Kind of turned my stomach to see how that 1911 in the video was thanks for restoring it.
Very cool, thanks for the support!
Except by aggressive scrubbing and home re-bluing, it is now worthless as a Collectable.
@@carminemurray6624 Like it was even collectable in the first place, rusted to shit.
@Carmine Murray not worthless at all.
To a Collector, the actual condition is not important as is ORIGINAL CONDITION, I spent 5 years learning about this buying firearms, and once, obtained an Original Trail type Flintlock musket that I was told was garbage 🗑️ and it cost Me $350 and a true Master took it and did a special restore, it sold at auction for a bit over 24 G, I learned even just cleaning it wrong, would have dropped the value to just under a Thousand.
Man you are Good! Not only in your restoration skills, but you obviously have a good knowledge of firearms to put everything back together so skillfully. Thanks for great videos
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching!
About fifty million people has put a 1911 together.
@@Jeff-jg7jh good for them!
Darn good job there young man. The 1911-A1 is the first center fire pistol I fired at AIT training Sept- Oct. 1963. Fell in Love with it. At 80 now I have seven(7) in 45 ACP , (1) in 9x19mm ,(1) in 22LR. (3) in Browning 1911-22 and 2 in (2) in .380 ACP Love them all. 1SG J J Huro Jr, USA RET.
Thank you for the kind words and for your service! Sounds like you have a good collection going, thanks for watching!
I actually have one of these from my grandfather from the Korean War. It was passed down from him to my father and now onto me. It was fully restored in the late 80s and is still in perfect working condition.
That is awesome. What a great piece of history you have, thanks for watching!
Thanks for your grandfather's service. 🙏🏻 _From Korea_
Always amazes me how strangely calming and satisfying restoration videos can be. Nicely done!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it
Dont be decieved, this is done in reverse, trust me.
That's so true

@@armale99 bro how can we trust you if we don't even know you? Please explain your reasoning behind your claim and why we should trust you.
Oh what i would love to find one of these. I have a newer ones but i have always wanted one of the older war ones. Thank you for sharing and bringing it back to life.
Ya they are awesome, you can get one for the right price! Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I agree with hunterjones. The lack of narration, ('show don't TELL') was a real plus in this video. I like your tiny glass bead blaster, by the way.
Thanks Robert, ya that glassbead works great! Thanks for watching
About 5 years ago, I acquired a series 70 made in 1976. Prior to my rescue, it spent over 20 years inside of a moldy gun rug that had been stored in a very damp basement. Not as rusty as yours but it was a blast to restore it. Had to replace all the pins, screws, springs, barrel bushing, grips, hammer and sear. Turned out very nice. Love the way yours turned out! Great Job!
Very cool, I'm sure it looks awesome now, thank you very much we appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!
Dude, this video is a fake. Did your wooden handgrips rust like this fake one? I can't believe people fall for this.
Its b/c the guns are chemically rusted. Guns do not naturally rust like this. The wood grips would be rotted off of this gun if it was actually in an environment that could cause this much rust naturally. You'd have to leave it by the fucking dead sea for 10 years to naturally get this much even bright orange rust. Shit is fake.
All of the springs and pins would be rusted to pieces if it was real rust. You'd have to replace all of them, but he didn't.
Wow!!! What a testament to workmanship, diligence, and perseverance. Restoring what once was is such a great skill.
Thank you very much we appreciate it!
👍👍
The fact that this gun was resurrected back to full shooter status is a testament to John Browning's awesome design and it's also a testament to your gunsmithing skills as well! That's awesome!
Absolutely, thank you very much we appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Browning may have been the DaVinci of firearms way ahead of his time and thorough investigation in design
this isnt gunsmith wor or legit restoratio as soo as he fires up the sand blaster
It makes me happy to see my favorite pistol be restored to amazing condition, great job, keep doing what your doing. Love it man.
Glad you enjoyed it, it's my favorite too! Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Absolutely amazing how he's able to turn what looks like a impossible feat, into a work of art. I enjoy watching this guy's channel, on restoration of guns.
Thank you, we appreciate the support!
@@TheKinzlerBros hello I have a 45 Cal pistol but my is not a colt it is a Thompson auto ordinance co brand bought it about 26 years ago I believed
Funny how many guns this guy has that need restoration! Almost like they're all staged! 😂
@@georgedavis1629 Perhaps, but' I still enjoying watching him bring back the life of the gun though.
Dont be decieved, this is done in reverse, trust me.
That dried clay/mud comes off pretty easy compared to rust. !
It does but, there was none on this one
@The Kinzler Bros good to know wood rusts, and you didn't use a salt stray or leave it in a salt bath to enhance the rust look.
@gortpredator, if you are referring to grip as the wood on the gun, it is not. It quite clearly metal as you would be able to see if you watched it.
quit hating..🤣
What’s up with the hate? Fans of other channels or just boys that only know how to play video games ?
I've been building 1911's for many years but never seen a build like that before. Just goes to show what a great design it is.
Ya it's amazing, thanks for watching!
My heart sank when you dry fired her, but beautiful restoration on such a storied weapon! Great video, enjoyed it a lot!
Sorry about that, thank you we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
As a US Marine that has handled the 1911 almost my entire life i approve this restoration. He even gave it the USMC seal of approval @7:48
Thank you very much, I appreciate that a lot!
@@TheKinzlerBros You should do a video on how you fake it up!
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 oh it's fake?
@@daniel_farist it clearly isn't, bro is trolling
@@daniel_farist Yes clearly! Its been faked up as most of these videos do!
That is flat out amazing. Spectacular restoration. I especially liked the vise firing, and then right into the hand. I am floored, I didn’t think it would fire ever again, what a testament to Colt, stupendous job!
Thank you very much we appreciate it, Yeah they are built very well! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, spectacular. The WD40 made rust literally melt off the gun, like it was paint or something. Kind of wild. I'm sure it's legitimate though. After all, showing people how easy it is to simply remove rust off an antique and then firing it is dangerous. Surely the content creator wouldn't put out faked videos that gullible people may imitate, hence the disclaimer right in the beginning. Surely.
-This video is fake as fuck, sorry-
I appreciate the TLC taken with my all-time favorite pistol! Great work!
Thank you, ya mine too! Thanks for watching
I was particularly impressed by the “Blueing” process a weapon of this stature deserves a darkish hue.
Thanks and absolutely!
Absolutely a thing of beauty! I'm glad you brought her back to life!
Yes it is, thank you very much! Thanks for watching!
Very impressive. I'm glad to see such a piece of history brought back to life. I've fired one of my 1911's in a heavily snowed area. I was amazed at how much sound the snow absorbed.
Thank you very much, ya it's crazy. Thanks for watching!

It's fake, filmed in reverse... The end of the video is the beginning and visa versa.
@@TheGigashadow the hell is you talking about
@@Saltria It's a FAKE video... Is that clear enough for you?
The end product is literally the 1911 I have wanted all my life. It’s identical to the one I want to own someday
I believe you will own one someday! Thanks for watching
Hit up CMP for a real one, or if you want the same thing for less buy a tisas WWII model
Very nostalgic for me. I served as an M.P. in the U.S. Army in the 70's and 80's and the men carried the 1911. It is still my favorite pistol. Awesome rehab of the 1914 1911.
Absolutely, thank you for your service! It is my favorite as well! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Fort Gordon or Fort McClellan alum?
This is amazing. I never thought that an old rusted gun could be brought back to life.
Thank you. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros that's a new gun, rusted with vinegar for a few days. the color of the rust gives you away.
@@Horecs not to mention you can tell it's all surface rust
Its a fake Restauration dude ,nothing what u see its real
@@Makenomistake. explain the pitting?
This is a 1911A1 pattern Colt, so there's no way it could have been manufactured in 1914. You can tell from the grip patterns, the thicker front sight, the curved mainspring housing, and the longer hammer spur and beaver tail.
Edit: After watching through, the frame is from a 1911 pattern, not 1911A1, yet the rest of the features are from a 1911A1. I suspect this isn't an original piece, but rather cobbled together from different parts, as evidenced by the GB proof marks on the barrel.
It has some a1 parts on it
Was going to make this exact same, once I saw the humped mainspring housing.
The frame maybe from 1914, but there's no way the rest of it is.
That's because these videos are usually fake and over embellished
The arsenal reworked 1911s several times. I doubt if it is "cobbled together".
This whole thing is a lie. They do it in reverse, "dirtying" the gun after they film the "end result"
I can just imagine “gun restoring asmr”
Thanks, thanks for watching!
Beautiful restoration. I want a 1911. Such a gorgeous gun.
Thank you very much, If you want it bad enough you'll get it, I believe! Thanks for watching
No audio but the sounds of your work...great! Terrific restoration job on an jmportant part of American history. It was 52 years ago, but when I was in the Marine Corps, I qualified as expert on the .45 at the end of ITR at Camp Pendleton, CA. A sweet memory.
Thank you very much for your service, thanks for the kind words and I bet that's a great memory. Thanks for watching!
The video is faked, he's not restoring anything, just scraping all the paint and fake rust off a gun he bought online.
@@GradualHigh true how did it get this bad
Very interesting noticed
👍👍
I cannot believe you could put that back together!! I had no idea it had that many parts. Well done!
Thank you very much, we appreciate it
It's fairly simple compared to something like the Beretta M9...that thing is a nightmare of parts.
@@potrzebieneuman4702 The good 'ol L1A1 "SLR" (FN-FAL) never ever *EVER* malfunctioned. It was simple, with minimal parts. The F88 Styer, well, I could never get one of those things to bloody work, I think I'd need a science degree to work out how to strip and assemble.....
@@OhSoddit yeah I have heard that about bothe the SLR and the Styer. I remember being at high school and all the boys rushing to join Cadets thinking they'd get their hands on an SLR and being disappointed to be handed Smellies.
@@potrzebieneuman4702 huhh? the m9 has way less parts
Even after the parts have been through some heavy pitting, it still fires like brand new 😭 Love the 1911
Absolutely, thanks for watching we appreciate it
@@TheKinzlerBros been binging ur vids while I make or eat food, love seeing some of my favourites show up in ur videos 💯
ever shit a “brand new” 1911?
nope, I'm a brokie so I got a used one, but said "Brand new" as a metaphor yk?@@JeffRiley-tc6cy
Wow! great job. One of my favorite guns ever made. She turned out beautiful and the pitting, just scars from her travels.
Thank you very much, mine too! Thanks for watching!
My ex husband used to be a weapons expert. I’ve watched him take these apart and class them up with Damascus steel slides and custom stippling and make them shine like the sun. I understand the need to make one black, no shine in the dark but he made some of his soooo pretty. I’ve helped him put them back together handing him parts as he went along. Brings back better memories.
Ya they are works of art, thanks for the story and for watching!
EX husband??? why are you divorced? did you cheat on him? answer me.
We, my 10 year old son, was more of an inconvenience than apart of his family. It was an US and a him thing. No help from him.
This takes me back to the silent ritual of cleaning your firearm after a long, long day at the range. Thank you for giving us the feeling.

it would be so nice to find more guns in that kind of condition. the corrosion wasn't even a real problem so it was more of a simple clean up
Ya for sure, thanks for watching!
Superb workmanship. This man knows his Colts, and makes the entire process of restoration look so easy. I only wish I had someone like him in my country who could restore what was a NIB Colt Combat Elite which was badly damaged when my house burnt down. I lost a couple of other pistols, both new.. but this one was special, and I had owned from new for over twenty years.. Never fired a single round through it.. Such a huge loss. Not many people in my country could carry out such a fine restoration of such a damaged pistol. Great work, and well worth a watch.
Thank you very much, that's is terrible what happened, I wish I could help! Thanks for watching!

You will one day, that's cool! Thanks for watching
that's crazy how an old rusted gun can be turned into a polished new looking weapon, respect for how much time that must have taken
Thank you very much. Thanks for watching!
That Ballistol is some pretty potent stuff. It turned a 1911A1 into a 1911 at 1:11.
Haha. It has some replacement parts. Thanks for watching
Hats off to you, and to a weapon so good that it can be restored to serviceability after decades of appalling neglect.

It's awesome that you restored a piece of history. Born in 1911, still in use in 2023. As a 30-year Army veteran, she was my favorite.

Great weapon but with its kick, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it !
@@daviddougan6961 my brother has one, it's actually my favorite to shoot with, somehow it's the easiest to be accurate with.
@@Kalossabrakstein hey, that's probably it!
@@daviddougan6961 Recoil isn't that bad, just like 9mm heavier frame pistol. Besides, recoil doesn't affect your accuracy, unless you "predict it", and point lower. 😉
Thank you for including the range time in the video. Amazing to see that old relic restored to life again
Your welcome, we always try to shoot every gun. Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Very nice! An original 1911 converted to A1 and still showing the lack of scallops on the frame next to the trigger.
Ya it has a few replacement parts. Thanks for watching
I think the fact that many of the automatic pistols in Europe and even Asia bear a striking resemblance to the M-1911 is a testament to Browning’s design. Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery
Look at the Walther, the Tokarev and the Star from Spain
Absolutely!
seeing those metal components slide together and clicking like brand new is awesome
Yes it is, thanks and thanks for watching!
Restoration is such a beautiful thing. Preservation of tools and equipment to last generations is a lost art. Appreciate you making the content not only from an ASMR perspective but also a disassemble, restore, re-assemble & test perspective. The tooling/machines of yesteryear are never going to be produced to make the parts necessary to service this equipment.
Absolutely, thank you very much! Thanks for watching!

that was a great video. seeing how hard it was to get apart, and then how smoothly it went back together was SUPER satisfying. awesome that it works and runs rounds after all it's been through
Ya very satisfying, thank you very much for watching!
I really liked how the polymer grips look like they rusted the same way as the rest of the gun, you have some skill painting a weapon to look old!
Rust residue will get on non metal parts when they are attached to metal, thanks for watching
Bakelite, not polymer, it attracts rust, go look at pictures of rusty M1 bayonets, rust sticks to bakelite just like that
I can't help but watch these. It's comforting to see fiber headed tools and properly fitting screwdrivers.
we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Wonderful to see someone who genuinely takes care of the firearm whilst restoring it! So many videos on RUclips show people absolutely butchering the firearms they supposedly are restoring. Great job Sir - well done on an excellent outcome!! Warm greetings from South Africa!
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words greatly, ya there are some butchers out there! Thanks for watching!
Dude, you're watching a hoax video. A fake. Look carefully at the "rust". Look at the gun carefully. There are so many fake vids out there and this is one of them.

Dont be decieved, this is done in reverse, trust me.
@@armale99 is there proof? first video I watched looks real to me. Can’t say this without backing up your words?
I love 1911's and this is such a great restore to a pistol with amazing history. If that gun could only talk, the stories it could tell. Thanks for sharing your restore.
Thank you very much for the kind words, ya it would be amazing to hear the stories! Thanks for watching!
I think i got a idea how that be like... I killed him he was.. then i killed her and she was... then i got THROWN IN THE MUD TO RUSTAWAY .. idk.. something like that
Thank you for saving this 1911. absolutely a gem.

What a beautiful weapon. Just thinking about the exacting craftsmanship of over a hundred years ago is mind boggling.

Wow what an amazing restoration. Great work. Love the firearm as well hats off to ya. Can’t wait for the m1 garand!👍
Thank you very much, Daniel. we appreciate the support and thanks for watching!
Interesting. The frame is indeed a 1911 frame, but the back spring housing is an arched 1911a1 version, as is the long grip safety spur. The checkered trigger is also interesting, as most 1911s had a flat trigger face.
Brilliant catch ,
Sharp eyes for details !
Yeah I am sure parts have been replaced over the years. I didn't replace anything, It is a very old gun, thanks for watching!
When they transitioned to the A1 they'd change out some stuff on the original 1911s whenever they needed maintenance done. Things like sights, mainspring housing, etc. would be updated. They wouldn't modify the frame, though. Notice that it lacks the scallop cut original A1s have.
Just watched the video and noticed right off the main spring housing. Had to get on my computer to comment and made sure to read other comments before opening my mouth, or fingers.
It's a fake video dude. That ain't rust, he puts something on the "gun" and pretends to clean it.
among all the gun repair video channels, this video channel is the best. This is because most of the gun repair videos I've watched never show that the repaired weapon can be used properly and tested. We can't call something that's broken repaired if it can't works well. therefore I think this channel is worthy and worth watching and subscribing. thank you admin for making good videos and full of patience
Thank you very much we appreciate you! Ya if you don't try too shoot it what's the point! Thanks again for the kind words, we appreciate the support!
18:07 Thats so cool you can actually see shrapnel flying to the sides and hitting snow on the ground.
Ya, the target is angled along with us! Thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros The renovation is also awensome. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job seeing the gun come back to life (regardless of whether you purposefully left the gun out to rust or not...as some are saying). The 1911 is my favorite semi-auto pistol. I have a very old one (s/n 17,xxx) that was issued to my grandfather during WWII which I inherited. The single stack magazine makes for a gun that fits normal size hands very comfortably. It's a timeless design that never fails to satisfy.
Thank you we appreciate it. We bought it from a guy that got it at an estate sale in this condition. They are iconic, thanks for watching!
It was soaked in a solution, most of these "resto" youtube people purposely tarnish items for clicks and views.

never thought you could repair something that far gone.
Ya its crazy what you can make out of something in that condition, thanks for watching!

Almost able to empty the mag before she jammed, even after all she's been through. What a machine!
I don't think it jammed, thanks for watching!
That was the mag being empty. The slide stays back like that
@@traviss7740 Even more impressive then.
Yeah I miscounted the discharges. I thought she fired 6 with 1 replay,not the full 7.
1911 has to be one of my most favorites.
Mine too, thanks for watching!
NOT A SINGLE DROP OF LUBRICANT IS CRAZY
I used it during reassembling it, thanks for watching!
As a restorer/refurbisher of cars and boats, I can say there are few things as rewarding as bead blasting. Being Canadian, I won't ever have a chance to restore a handgun unfortunately. Nice job!! 👍
I also do Marine repair for a living and also restore Muscle cars. Sorry your country has such restrictive gun laws we have been fighting for gun rights for years they would love to take them all away .
Ya it's very satisfying, that sucks you can't do that in Canada, thanks for watching
I could be wrong but in Canada, antique firearms, that's black powder guns made in or before 1897, are perfectly legal. So "IF" in ""Theory,"" you got your hands on an original Colt 1851 Navy Revolver or similar firearm from that time frame, that was in a similar state to the M1914 in this video, then I think you could legally restore it in Canada...
Now do take this with a grain of salt, I am not a legal expert, so as stated, I could very much be wrong, so before attempting to do something like this, I would highly recomend consulting an actual legal expert first.
the fact you did a parkerized finish gained my instant approval !!! So many “ YT restorers “ would have leaned into the buffing wheel thus ruining the pistol ( in my opinion ) more than the pitting … 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you very much, ya there are some crude restorers out there, thanks for watching!
EXCELLENT !

A shame it was allowed to get that bad. Its a piece of history. I honor you for it's restoration.
Yes it is, thank you very much, we appreciate you!
The corrosion is faked. Anyone that’s seen real corrosion knows that the springs would be brittle and screws heads likely round out or break off.
You've done a marvelous job restoring this piece of history.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Lol it's not history he oxidatized a gun then cleaned it that's not a hundred year old gun they didn't put sights on them til the 50s
I understand why you'd feel that way as plenty of these restoration videos are indeed fake, however, I see no reason to doubt the credibility of this restoration channel.
@@da420wizzard5 who told you that?
@@randybenefiel8900 it was originally designed to be fired from horse back might been off on the years but most the sights put on the gun before (whatever date definitely after 1914) were after market
A restoration isn't complete without test firing at the end. Great job.
Absolutely, thanks for watching!
The old gal still had some stories to tell and memories to make. Well done!
Absolutely, thank you very much! Thanks for watching
Nice job, enjoyed the video. Just seeing the disassembly of a 1911 and how all the parts work and interact shows the true design genius of John Browning.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!
Stunning results. Can’t wait to see the next firearm restoration.
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
Dont be decieved, this is done in reverse, trust me.
The granite texture on the gun makes it looks like it forge out of volcano... pretty cool lookin'
Ya, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
What a beauty you recreate Bros!One of the best automatic pistol for half a century ,maybe till today. Thank for this piece of fine working art from Northern Germany Ludwig.
Thanks Ludwig we appreciate it, it's still an iconic weapon today, thanks for watching!
Would love to see a time lapse video of how you got it so rusted.
I bought it from a guy that got it at an estate sale
@@TheKinzlerBros lol
I agree. The amount of people who believe this is really sad.
Amazing how most people actually believe this was a genuine restoration. Fake rust looked so real! 😂😂
I came down looking for a comment like this almost instantly.
Wow. This was my Dad’s gun he carried in WWII and then in civilian life. A lot of memories seeing this gun come to life
Very cool, I wish I could thank him for his service. Thanks for watching
My friend has his grandfather's from WWII, I tried it out at a range. If I ever do that again it will be outside like in the video, it was painfully loud even with ear protection, a shocking difference from the modern 9mm we were also using. Beautiful piece of engineering and craftsmanship.
yeah that’s cap bro lmao show proof that this specific gun was his
I'm going to remember this video every time I take apart my 1911 to clean it lol.
That's awesome, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
I didn’t expected that you will actually test it with bullets lol
We test all of them when we can and when we can find the ammo! Thanks for watching
