I do that agree with some. Restoring an old firearm to whatever level suits you is best. It will not appeal to some, however, it appeals to you. The restorer that's the important thing.😊
Absolutely couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching
The best restoration videos feature the restorer wearing black gloves. I can see why this is a great restoration just by the color of your gloves. A great job and thanks for the posting.
Thank you very much we greatly appreciate it and thank you for watching
Thank you Brandon, for showing the world all the talent you have achieved on restorations of these lost in time musket rifles. It’s astonishing to watch the transformation of lost in time, to the current time. You make the restoration of 181 years look simple…obviously it is not! Your the best, Brandon. I love watching these transformations. Thank you for the video. Cheers buddy!!!!
I really do appreciate your kind words I am getting better every time and hopefully one of these videos will get a lot of views
well and truly ruined , surprised you didnt chrome the barrel .
Thanks for watching
I was waiting for the barrel to be chrome or nickel plated
I saw the notification pop up and I yelled YES!!! My wife thought I won the lottery because I was so excited for this episode to come out!!! Great Job, I know this took a while to make. Appreciate the hard work you put into these.
Thank you very much for your excitement I just hope that it actually get some decent view since I put a lot of effort into it thank you so much for watching
Lovely restoration especially with the matching sword bayonet. I must admit I would have gone for a less glossy finish on the woodwork, something nearer issued state would be nice but that is a personal choice! Thanks for posting.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, ya there are plenty of finishes that we like too, this is just what we did on this one, thanks for watching bud!
Yes , that glossy finish was very unsuitable for the rifle / musket . Also that big crack in the stock should have been sorted out , not hard with some PVA and sawdust
Looks like you used tru oil Only thing I found tru oil good for is filling the pores of a stock and sanding it smooth. Too glossy. Other than that It's a Great Job..
Looks great, people will hate the shiny wood, but it’s yours to do as you please. 😊 Restoring this same musket was what got me into fire arms, I have a lot to learn but always enjoy the process! Cheers 🍻
Thanks I appreciate it, yeah you can't please everyone thanks for watching and good luck to you with your channel!
i can confirm, if my grandpa saw this (collected many, many old guns), he would in fact have a heart attack
Awesome! Echo from the era of the old empire days 🇬🇧
Ya, thanks for watching!
Amazed at the complexity of a musket. I thought it was just an oversized cap gun. Nice job!
Ya they are impressive, thanks and thanks for watching!
Nice to see someone using the correct size of screwdriver for the screws they are working. Thank you for an excellent restoration !
Thank you very much and thanks for noticing and watching
Ordinary slotted screw drivers are not the correct size. Gunsmithing screw drivers are entirely flat sided with no taper.
Very delicate work needed on such a very fragile old weapon. Great job. Gorgeous!!!
It is thank you very much I appreciate your appreciation thanks for the support!
Nothing devalues antiques faster than chipping those screw slots.
Thanks for watching
Great job a pleasure to see you working on the firearm
Thank you very much I appreciate that thanks for watching
Scuff the shiny finish with #0000 steel wool. Great job!
Thanks for the advice and for watching!
Beautiful restoration I'm so impressed great job guys
Thank you very much Tim we appreciate it and thanks for watching
Most exceptional repairs
Thanks!
You should consider using boiled linseed oil for the wood finish considering these period of surplus weapons at that time were finished with it, instead of shiny coatings
Ya I wish it wasn't so shiny but, I still love it, thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros can't wait for next video
Espetacular! !!!! Restauração maravilhosa! Parabéns pelo trabalho e dedicação! 😊👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You’re always such a great subscriber I appreciate you watching all the videos
Sure, others would have done it differently but it's still a beautiful piece of art with form and function. Only thing I would have changed would be a not so glossy stock.
Ya everyone has there own Ideas, thanks and thanks for watching!
@TheKinzlerBros Hate to bother you, I have the same gun did your ramrod just pull out or is it threaded? Mines being an absolute pain.
Beautiful job! It looks amazing.
Thanks Greg I appreciate it thanks for watching
Great job, any British officer would be proud to carry those fine examples of craftsmanship onto a battle field
Thank you very much I appreciate that and thanks for watching
Oh this is one piece I would love to have seen you try and fire
Ya me too but. We just don't have any experience with them yet! Thanks for watching
That is a percussion cap musket, firstly you would need a percussion cap that fits the size and a paper cartridge, bite off the tip of the cartridge and stuff the entire cartridge inside the barrel, secondly pull out the ramrod and ram the cartridge 2 or more times down the barrel, pull the hammer to half cock and throw away the old cap and insert a new cap. Finally pull the hammer to full cock and pull the trigger when ready to fire.
Very cool project! You keep making gun resto videos and I'll keep watching them. It's so neat to watch the process.
Thanks we appreciate it, sounds like a deal to me! Ya it is satisfying throughout the process. Thanks for watching
Magnificent restoration again !
Thanks Pete!
Nostalgic. I was using the very same gun of my uncle in my teenage, 1970-76.
Very cool, we are happy to bring that to you, thanks for watching!
Simply AWESOME!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you very much I appreciate it thanks for watching
Beautiful Job on this Musket!
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Good Job! Kindly Ignore The Chatter Here With Reference To your Craft and Techniques. You did a Great service in restoring This Fine FireArm.
Thank you very much we appreciate it! I've learned to ignore the haters. Thanks
Really good rifle restoration 👍👍100%👍👍
Thanks Leo thanks for watching
Screw what people say. Its yours, you own it. You do what you please with it. Just for the haters, im getting ready to use a wire wheel on a winchester 1894. Found in the backseat of a 1940s buick. Pretty rough condition but hey, my wire wheel will take care of it. Great video by the way.
Thanks we appreciate the support, thanks for watching Justin!
A good trick for a stuck screw is put Kroil on it and heat it with a heat gun and using ur screwdriver with a pair of vice grips on it for additional torque.
Very cool, thanks for the tip, I appreciate it
Job first class
Thanks we appreciate it!
Great restoration!
Thank you very much, thanks for watching
Amazing Job ,Looks Awesome
Thank you very very much you are so nice
Beautiful and well done
Thank you very much I appreciate it
You took an antique, old gun, and made it look like new. Gone is the history of this gun. There are companies that make replicas of these guns so that they look like they came off the factory floor. I say, for what it is worth, just clean up the crud but keep the authenticity of the gun.
I appreciate your opinion but, there are people who appreciate restored guns as well! Thanks for watching
So jealous of that gunsmiths bits set. im still just using ordinary ones. Ive had ok luck with them. but i have quite a few different sizes. the main thing normal sets seem to be missing are really wide but thin flat heads... oh and that sand blaster. i wouldve had to brush all of those by hand!
Ya tools are your friends, thanks for watching
You are a fine, talented gunsmith. It appeared the screws and other parts apart came untightened with ease. Did you have to prep them with a WD-40 or a lock break before you unscrewed them ?
Totally wonderful restoration. To bring back the chrome luster and blue , and awesome glory of the wood of an almost 200 year old rifled musket was inspiring. You did honor to the original maker and gunsmith . Thank you.
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words! I probably used kroil on the screws. Thanks again and thanks for watching!
wooww kinzler Bross thats amazing so wonderful🤗🥰😍👍👍👍👍👍✌🤙❤💜💚❤❤💖💥
Thank you so much wani, you are so sweet we appreciate your support and for always watching
You’re always so nice with your words and your emoji is thank you so much
@@TheKinzlerBros its ok no problem😊hope u will be fine n continue your awesome video n have a good day god bless U❤
Excellent work,,, as always
Thanks Leo I appreciate that thanks for watching
Beau travail
Thank you very much
Yours was in much better shape than the one I got. Mine had a cracked stock and was missing the nose cap as well as the box lid. But she cleaned up nice and would be shootable if I could find a new stock.
My lock looked the same as well. Covered in some sort of grease and was basically brand new once the grease was removed.
Yeah it's a gamble when you're buying these it's too bad that your stock was cracked you didn't send a message to the company, Yeah once they're cleaned up they look great thanks for watching
W O W !! BEAUTIFUL !🙂👍❤
Thanks Linda thanks for watching
Love your restoration video's awesome work Bro's
Thanks George we really appreciate the support and thanks for watching
Very cool piece, well done. 👍
Thank you very much I appreciate it thanks for watching
Excellent job
Thanks Jerry, thanks for watching
Beautiful musket. Love the fact that it has the matching bayonet
Thank you very much yeah Me Too! Thanks for watching
That’s great you have done a fantastic job on the flint lock gun.
Thank you very much I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
That’s a cap lock
Oh ! This rifle was doing the civil War, and the flint lock doing the revolution war.
There actually were some flintlocks used by the south. But not a ton to my knowledge.
Beautiful job. Well done. 👌🍺
Thank you we appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
I wouldn’t have sanded the stock to keep the history on it but still cool
Yeah i hear ya, thanks and thanks for watching
You did a superb job on the gun Brandon! What a great restoration project! I can’t wait to see your next restoration!! Take care man and thanks!
You are too kind the gun did turn out really well and I have one more that I’m also gonna be working on aside from the one I showed at the very end
Great job
Thanks!
Interesting to see how others more advanced than I go about restoring/refurbishing old guns. Essentially, it looks new, like a piece in a museum, a high-end museum. I had a lot of thoughts watching this at various stages.
At first, I thought the metal polishing was going a bit too far, but then I reflected on the pride of the British military from years past, and this being an officer’s musket, I’d be surprised if it didn’t originally have a polished brass.
I liked the impact of the fine glass blasting on the steel/iron parts though. Cleaned those up to new and smoothed them out. To me, that’s a much better technique than steel wool, which tends to leave little bits of metal behind, that, especially on a muzzleloader, will later rust and stain. Also left a great looking finish.
The only thing I’d suggest or recommend is the one thing I’ve learned from a few “old-timers,” and that is the importance of a few applications of boiled linseed oil to anything that isn’t going to see tung oil. Specifically, to the wood surrounding the lock, the breach plug, and the barrel channel, as well as under the patch box cover and buttplate. That wood is 180 years old, and old wood that old will be very dry and brittle/crumbly. From what I understand, boiled linseed oil seeps into the dry pores of wood, or the space that has opened between fibers, and then polymerizes in the space, strengthening the wood and making it more resistant to cracking under impact. This is especially important if a weapon is going to be fired, but is good for the wood anyway.
Thanks for this and your other videos, it gives me inspiration and education!
Thanks for the very in depth comment! We appreciate the kind words and the advice! Thanks for watching!
Amazing job , very nice
Thanks Michael thanks for watching
woow that one turnd out awesome
great job love it broz
Thanks buddy we appreciate your support, thanks for watching Johnny!
@@TheKinzlerBros im alwas here you know it ;)
It is not grease that you are seeing about four and a half minutes into the video. It is actually cosmoline. It is put on guns to protect them from damage when put in storage. Most of the cosmoline has dried up and left behind dirt stuck to the gun.
Thanks for the info and for watching we appreciate it!
My mind wondering if all that grease was animal fat/lard when it was first put together and taken care of back then. This is so cool :)
Ya I haven't researched that, so Idk! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Nice
Thanks
Beautiful weapon would have really loved to see you fire it 😢
Ya that was early on in our restoration career. Thanks for watching!
Great work
Thanks
When the random orbital sander hit the stock I cringed
And you are right it's your gun you can ruin it if you want 😬✌️
I believe I preserved it, thanks for watching!
Hayata geri geldi..
Yes it did, thanks for watching
I was expecting a firing session!!
Ya I didn't on this one, thanks for watching!
Seen this same model rifle and sword/ bayonet restored on DR. Restoration's channel. This one looks in better condition than his was.
Yeah right when I was in the middle of restoring this one I saw that he had restored the same 1 as well, it's a crap shoot when you're buying them off the Internet thanks for watching we appreciate it
simple bautiful worked very hapy i love guns antiques
Thank you very much we appreciate it and thanks for watching!
You love antique guns. ...
@@ErZaakir yes very much i love antiques guns may friend realy

Impressive work!! Amazing restorations!
Thank you Doreen thank you for watching
So good condition.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Everybody is a critic. I think it looks nice. I would like to have seen it test fired.
Ya and a gun expert, I hear ya. Maybe we will in the future. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros it was a very good video, and the work was good. Keep up the good work and ill keep watching!
Good job!!🍻🍻👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great work and fascinating video! There is an interesting dilemma behind restoration, to retain historical credibility but to still unwind the decay and neglect of 180 years. Certainly the brass and steel parts would have been polished to a high gloss by troops in 1840. But the high gloss woodwork looks wrong. What a beast of a gun! Especially when you think that adult males were considerably smaller than today - look at the old uniforms in museums, some would hardly fit a 12yr-old today.
Metal parts would not have been burnished to a mirror shine - just kept clean at a factory satin finish. That overpolished stuff looks as wrong as the wood. Look like a cheap nonfiring repro of the kind American tourists buy as souvenirs of European cities.
Thank you very much Steve, Yeah we could have not made the stock shiny and yeah people were a lot smaller back then thanks for watching
@@notfeedynotlazy I agree, it looks like a piece of tourist trash turned out in China . What a wast to turn something like that into a farce
My 1837 Brunswick rifle condition looked about like your 1841 Brunswick. It came with a new patch box that i fitted. The bayo didn't come close to fitting so i fitted it also, i had to open up the T slot inside the grip. Everything cleaned up great retaining all orig finish on wood & metal (unlike yours) untill i got to the breech threads, they were totally rusted out beond use. fortunatly a good friend & great gunsmith repaired the threads for free. Now all is well😊
Very cool, ya they are a lot of work to restore! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
I know it took a long time to get a video out but I got it done. This was a hard restoration. Very big firearm. Next two are handguns
Can't wait!
@@brandonworwood1002d$$koop yuy
That’s right brother
Not like they had standard screw threads back then and they were fresh out of the flint age , poping caps on each other was a new thing like stove pipe hats.
Right, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Very nice restoration. Didn't think they had cap lock back in 1841. Would have thought it to be a flint lock. Stock is too shiny for the period musket. I would have used Tru OIl and buffed with steel wool. The true test is if it will fire a musket ball. W Rusty Lane K9KPOW in eastern Tennessee
Thank you very much rusty I appreciate the support and the comments, we might fire it in the future but it definitely will
A sidenote from Germany . When there was US - Independence War, british troops had no units with rifles, only smoothbore muskets. To counter US riflemen , British Gouvernement hired german troops including Jäger units, formed first of hunters and forrest officials. Their sidearm had been traditional Hirschfänger, for military use with longer blades. First riifles and swordbayonnets for real british troops looked rather german. Also this rifle still has a german ,touch'. It is the trigger guard, which tries to be a kind of pistol grip. Last riflemodel especially for german Jäger units ( Jägerbüchse M71) had only a ,finger hook' at trigger guard. Also the swordbayonnet looks rather similar to german military Hirschfänger. Civilian versions with shorter blades are today still sometimes used by civilian huntsmen, but only for huntsmens ceremonies.
Very cool thanks for the history I always appreciate It, Thanks for watching Britta
Lindo trabalho parabéns
Thank you very much, we appreciate it!
Beautiful restoration. The only thing that bothers me is the 'shiny' finish of the stock.
It looks like a used car where the tire sidewalls have been spruced up with silicone spray.
But, if that's how it was in the original ... that's OK.
Thank you very much, ya I believe that was the original look. Thanks for watching!
This gun 1841 mustet was made at the last tail of first industrial revolution, their parts must be interchange able, for me it is very surprising how they make the small hooks under the barrel for cutterpins?
Welding was not invented must be they fix the hooks withbarrel by hot forging.
Ya it is very impressive, thanks for watching!

Sorry, thanks for watching!
Все ништяк,но трещину на прикладе нужно было заделать.и этот блеск,все испоганил.А в основном четко.
We appreciate your opinions and thanks for watching!
Should have gone ahead and rechambered it into 300 Win Mag.
I'm not that advanced, thanks for watching!
Very nice restoration of this old nepalese rifle from IMA ;) next project looks like an Ethan Allen Pepperbox...
Thank you very much, we appreciate the support and you know your guns!. thanks for watching!
Awesome 😎
Thanks!
I've done a couple of these IMA guns, they can come out nice. They weren't found in a factory though, it was an old mansion that the Nepalese government had used as an arsenal. They were stored in really bad conditions and a lot of the brass parts were stolen over time which is why your original patch box cover and butt plate were gone.... There is a guy who has been recording all of the trigger guard markings for a data base and can translate them for you if you're interested in knowing what unit your musket was issued to. The last one I worked on was a P-53 that had so much grease soaked into the stock I spent hours with a hot air gun bringing it out.
www.archivingindustry.com/Gunsandgunmakers/gunmarks.pdf John Walters, he can help you ID it
Thank you very much for the additional research and insight into where this gun came from and I appreciate you watching as well
@@TheKinzlerBros There's a full documentary about the years long quest to get these guns out of there, it's worth a watch for sure ruclips.net/video/1yHOmgU4Afs/видео.html
The dessasembly didn't seemed very hard thanks to the fact that a century ago back in Nepal they covered these guns with Yack grease before storage...
@@Maxcriger yeah, it's a pain to draw out of the stocks on some of them. I used easy off oven cleaner, hot air and rags and finally around half a gallon of acetone getting the last ones stock cleaned up
Wow looks beautiful! I think u shouldve at least put linseed oil on the wood in the patchbox and under the barrel tho.
Thanks, ya I could have. Thanks for watching
Why did you feel the need to polish the metal pieces to mirror shine or stain the wood a different color? A 180-old weapon has well earned its patina, and the color the original wood did have was fine - no need to fake a walnut tone. Lots of skill used to turn an antique into a wallhanger.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your opinion
Nice Job 😀🤙
Thanks Jorge thanks for watching
It was quit a challenge but you did it well, why no test fire this time ?
Yes it was, thanks! It was earlier in our restorations, we would shoot it if we restored it now. Thanks for watching
Great restoration but I dought the original would have had a gloss finish
Thank you very much and yeah you're probably right thanks for watching
Красота
Thank you!
Amazing keep it up pal
Thanks we appreciate it thank you very much for watching
Faltou dar um tiro pra testar o mosquete! Caucaia- ce 🇧🇷
Ya we have never shot one before, thanks for watching!
That was a fantastic job! I'm super excited for the pepperbox video. Where did you get that one by the way? I have wanted to get an old beat-up pepperbox to restore as well.
I am excited for the pepper box as well because for one it will be easier than the musket the musket was huge and it was a really long process for me and that’s just the gun the editing took me about seven hours but there’s an even cooler firearm after the pepper box you’ll have to wait and see at the end of the pepper box video thank you for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros Cooler than a pepperbox? This I have to see!
Do you ever use something like Conrad’s wood food oil to rehydrate old cracked gun stocks? Seems like a good idea to get dry stocks back toward original health before refinishing.
No we have not done that yet we will definitely look into it for our future restorations thanks again
It is good stuff and brings old wood back to life (so to speak).
Off to the V & A are we? Won't be there long!
