I have seen some bad restorations on the tube but this couldn't under any circumstance be called a restoration. It is a complete disaster that destroyed a historic weapon. My 5 year old granddaughter could turn out something better. Get yourself another hobby, like 25 piece puzzels or snap together model cars and leave gun restoration to those who can. And the way you were tossing those parts in the floor really looked silly. I'm sure you saw some good restorer do that with unusable parts because I have, difference being they knew what they were doing. And these comments telling you what a great job this was either were family and friends or obviously don't know anything about restoring. Stuff like this just gets under my skin.
a real shame that you ruined everything, painting the rifle as if it were a plastic toy, adding that absurd piece of wood in place of the butt plate, and giving that horrible coat of polish to the stock, which was visibly not the original one, from replace with one available on the market, or to be redone. You seemed to have the skills... but you don't, and it shows.
Thank you for a valuable lesson in how not to restore a worn rifle. I have doubts that this was made in Europe nor the Kabul arms factory. The chequering on the receiver is pure Kyhber bazaar copy work. Have a professional check it before you consider firing it. And stop using power tools!
You can reblue using chocolate milk? Good to know..... Wow this was incredibly hard to watch, sooo much wrong. I was yelling at my computer screen the whole time.
I have seen worse restorations, but I cannot remember when! Sorry. Why fill the holes in the stock but leave one un smoothed, oh and I don't thing Martini Henry's ever had raised cheek pieces on their stocks? Why hot blue the parts EXCEPT for the main receiver which was painted? Finally, when rubbing down the wooden stock do not leave it attached to the rifle as thie dust will invariably find it's way to where you don't want it!!!
Otra cosa no debiste limar nada bastaba un lijado leve y pulir además la eletrolucis ni sabes aserla correctamente se usa asido amuriatico no agua o agra tesis para mejores resultados te lo diste algen que restaura armas antiguas
If you're doing a precision job don't throw fasteners and small components on the floor, very unprofessional of you, I downvoted and shut this down well before the end. Try harder next time...
Little known fact, the term "horsepower" originally referred to the PSI a team of two horses could generate for the early air compressors of the Henry and Sons Firearm Spray Paint Factories.
A nice job on a rifle which has already been butchered and as such as little, if no, value. We have the same here in France with the Gras 1874. When it was phased out, a lot were sold on the civilian market and modified for hunting? They were much appreciated as it was a very strong and reliable weapon. But if you compare a "sporterized" Gras with a military one, the prize goes from one to four, at least.
I have to admit. I restore a lot of my antiques according to how I like it but man, that one's right off the rails. Oh well, it was a cheap copy to start with whatever.
How not to restore anything,try watching a few vids on people that actually know what they’re doing,buy some correct tools,nobody uses nails as pin punches,
That guy has disrespected the rifle, the British army and history. Should never be allowed to hold such an important part of history. Do not subscribe to this guy
Posi screws for that knock up butt plate...hmm. Posi screws were not around back in those days. Plus you chucking the bits around at the beginning said to me, you didnt give a f@ck for this weapon, and unfortunatley at the end it shows.
Confieso que no me gustó el tratamiento y acabado de la madera, le dio esa mano brillante y para mí, le restó valor al arma. Lo siento, pero creí correcto decirlo. En cuanto al resto está bien. Saludos.
Sorry but that was not a good gun restoration, stock was not refinished properly and the finish was sloppy. Spray painting gun parts is not a good idea.
It was pretty awful to begin with and it's not much better now. I wouldn't dare fire it unless it was secured to a bench and I had a very, very long piece of string to to pull the trigger!
What a bloody mess. It wasn't worth the effort in the first place but it looks worse after than it did before.....Even the Afghans could have done a better job. The best thing you could do would be to get a job in a scrapyard because that is what you have turned this into, a piece of scrap.
This video was fine until you took the angle grinder too the gun you fumbled so bad in this I don’t care how beat up you got this gun you went full bubba and destroyed a peice of history for views and I think you did it on purpose
You seem to have talent but no knowledge of firearms. This seemed less like a firearm restoration and more like an automotive paint job with bad body work. I believe if you studied firearms more and proper restoration, got some tools right for the task, you could do good work.
This is a desecration, not a restoration.
Agreed.
Doesn't matter, this rifle had already been butchered
should be titled destroying a rifle 101

Perfect example of what not to do
Покрасил детали!!!!!!! Это просто ужас!!!!!! А заворонить было нельзя . Испортил историческую вещь
You have a lot to learn about restoring guns,and you need to buy some tools.
It's not often you see screwdrivers and nails used as pin punches
I think it was torax driver
You can reblue using chocolate milk? Good to know..... Wow this was incredibly hard to watch, sooo much wrong. I was yelling at my computer screen the whole time.
Plus mauvaise restauration que j'ai vu. Pauvre carabine.

Why didn't you blue the steel and spend more time on the stock finish?
Because he didn't have a long extension to reach the flat head bolt.
Pure laziness
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@begone30
An absolute Mess!...What a Hatchet Job!!
The worst restoration I've ever seen! Stock finish was terrible!
please don't try to restore this way any valuable gun
I would be ashamed to upload this video.😢😢
Otra cosa no debiste limar nada bastaba un lijado leve y pulir además la eletrolucis ni sabes aserla correctamente se usa asido amuriatico no agua o agra tesis para mejores resultados te lo diste algen que restaura armas antiguas
cambia lavoro .. hai rovinato un arma storica .. per favore vai a asfaltare strade ..

very bad work
why not blue the metal ? I dont understand spray painting metal components of a rifle, Wood repairs on stock and fore section are awful
😢 A Hatchet job, really.
Wow. That was hard to watch. Please go learn more about restoration.
You need some proper tools . A nail is not a punch and a claw hammer 🔨 is what a carpenter uses.
Why remove the barrel
That spray paint is great, just like old stuff in the 1800s
Little known fact, the term "horsepower" originally referred to the PSI a team of two horses could generate for the early air compressors of the Henry and Sons Firearm Spray Paint Factories.
This is a great how NOT to video. You obviously don't have a clue.

ужас и мрак
Jesus I had to come to the comments just to see if anyone else thought this was as much a tragic fail as I did...
I got about to the stock repair and came strait here for the comments… I mean damn
This martini Henry rifle was used during the Zulu war and it was chamber in 577-450 caliber of British arms military
Did not like the wood restoration looked like the work of a 12 year old
What is the caliber of that rifle
You lost me at the pipe wrench
Martini Henry?
Did you shoot it???
Никогда так не делайте!!!😢
I have to admit. I restore a lot of my antiques according to how I like it but man, that one's right off the rails. Oh well, it was a cheap copy to start with whatever.

I agree with everyone in the comments except that one dude he's just weird
WTF?
What a disgusting mess you made of this rifle, too painful to watch unbelievable
That wire wheel looks like it has bronze plated stainless steel bristles. A real bad idea.
If your a professional,your results leave a lot to be desired. If an amateur, keep trying.
NO DON'T We need historic firearms to saved not destroyed........
Thought the comments were just exaggerating until I saw the horrors myself 💀 is this a troll video?
That guy has disrespected the rifle, the British army and history. Should never be allowed to hold such an important part of history. Do not subscribe to this guy
So sad. A beautiful piece of history destroyed. I hope this video serves as a reminder of what not to do with an antique rifle. A real shame.
I'll do my own restoring. I wouldn't even call that restoring. Sorry
NEDEN TEST ATISI YAPMADINIZ?
Колхозная реставрация!!-отвратительно сделано.
Posi screws for that knock up butt plate...hmm.
Posi screws were not around back in those days.
Plus you chucking the bits around at the beginning said to me, you didnt give a f@ck for this weapon, and unfortunatley at the end it shows.
Это не мастер плохая работа

I own this
rifle it is my favorite rifle
What horror story
Jesus Christ.... this guy should be banned from owning historic guns for life...
Some people shouldn't be allowed to use tools...
Ole wd40...i recommend kroil

Sei nervoso a smontare
stopped watching when he picked up the power sander.
🎉
I would cry if that was a real martini. Its a khyber job and a pretty ordinary one made from a hodge podge of parts. Youve made a bad job worse.
What the hell are you doing? Bury that and ask for forgiveness...
These guns were used in Afghanistan. The pistol grip does not ring true.
What a bloody mess. It wasn't worth the effort in the first place but it looks worse after than it did before.....Even the Afghans could have done a better job. The best thing you could do would be to get a job in a scrapyard because that is what you have turned this into, a piece of scrap.
This video was fine until you took the angle grinder too the gun you fumbled so bad in this I don’t care how beat up you got this gun you went full bubba and destroyed a peice of history for views and I think you did it on purpose
Omg please remove that wood finish
It's a shame about this beautiful weapon. You have irretrievably destroyed a piece of history.
I can't watch this. It's dreadful. Doesn't even use the correct tools which just shows that this person hasn't really got a clue
Gun butcher not restore.
99 lo
Well done again! 👍 This looked much worse condition than the Ishapore SMLE? Had a very hard life! Have you shot the Ishapore yet?
C'est la pire réstauration que j'ai vu,c'est vraiment un massacre
What a joke!
OMG,please dont do anny restoration annymore. You have ruined the history
Serviço de amado
Perfectly restored! Good Job!
Sarcasm - I like your style.
Como se nota eres aficionado
Not a good restore at all. Good effort though I guess.
Don't guess - it will encourage him...........
A madeira está um noj-- trabalho horrível 🤪💩
Great skill with patience
Dedicate a otra cosa....arruinaste ese rifle
Perfect restoration…simply just satisfying ❤ well done 👍
Worst restoration I have ever seen!
Thats a great restoration
Amazing skill bru✨❤️🔥
“It’s perfect”

Uvieras paginado con calor aseite y el resultado color negro azulado de ese tipo de Pavón es mejor que pintura automotriz
Отвратительно. Дизлайк
