Next time try experimenting with boiling the entire rusted arm in distilled water and using fine steel wool to conserve the original finish. Or if you're going to use media blasting maybe an even softer material like walnut husk, since the finish does look more matte after the glass beads.
I'm glad you showed the bore both before and after! That came out much better than I would have expected. This is one of the best firearm restorations I've seen on RUclips! Most end up a pitted mess or much of the original finish destroyed. This is a remarkable job! AND you tested with the correct black power loads, very cool!
@@anthonysupplee858 I have an all original S&W Model of 1917 and bluing they achieved is close to that finish at least as far as I can see from a video :)
@@TheKinzlerBros My father had a 1915 model of this weapon, when the Greeks attacked Anatolia, he got this weapon after a Greek Sergeant's body search, which they captured. Best regards, Master
Smart move on the black powder ammo! Guns this old were never designed for today's smokeless powder, and the chamber pressures could easily rupture the cylinder and injure someone. Great restoration!
First time watching you work. You do fine work. You are like me, meticulous and patient. You used ALL the proper tools in your work. Finally, someone actually fired what they worked on, using the proper and safe ammunition. I have subscribed, which I rarely do. Again, fine work!!
Wow I really appreciate that. So many people like to focus on the negative side of things. In this case you’re focusing on positive things and I really appreciate you watching and commenting and just so you know we comment to everybody that takes the time to comment on my channel I have Colt model 1903 made in 1915 coming out on the channel Friday or Saturday this week with the test firing and everything.
Sir, one magnificent job of restoring a grand old Colt Model 1895 back to like-new condition. You really made that old Colt a firearm to show-off to interested people. I notice the inspector's initials on the left-side of the frame, indicating some of this old Colt's travels. Thanks so much for this video on your fine work. Hang on to that Colt, it's value will continue to increase, and it would make a wonderful family heirloom to pass down to some lucky family member.
Nice work! Interesting tidbit...this was the type of revolver Teddy Roosevelt carried at San Juan Hill, with the Rough Riders. His was a navy model, salvaged from the wreckage of the USS Maine in Havana, shortly before the beginning of the Spanish-American War.
You are correct He actually used it at battle of Las Guasimas and San Juan heights while charging kettle hill with His Roughriders and yes you’re correct it was one that was Salvage from the sunken ship the USS Maine I actually made a TikTok in three minutes of this firearm at the very beginning I talk about Theodore Roosevelt and the history behind this firearm but TikTok doesn’t like me showing historical educational videos of restored firearms so I was taken down immediately and I was banned for three days
Um, I'm not a teacher nor a professional but... How about using 2 push bars on the saw to avoid losing a digit. My shop teacher almost lost some of his, right after a saw safety lecture. Concerned viewer.
The only one of the big Colt family I dislike just for the design. Kinda feeling ,not logical. Love its successor M1 and you Bros did amazing work again! All the best from Northern Germany Ludwig.
Awesome job my friend I don't see very many of these type revolvers restored on RUclips and you did a remarkable job restoring a piece of colt history and military history the only thing I would have loved to have seen is you put checkering on the grips but nevertheless you did an awesome job keep up the good work
Many original factory Colts from this time period did not have checkering. Especially military issued models. I know for a fact the 1917 did not, not sure on this model I would have to research it. Gives it a period 'correct enough' aesthetic though
Sure looks like a S & W Model 10, 6 inch. I have one made in 1968, accurate, reliable and easy to clean. Many revolvers share similar features so I might be wrong considering this gun's age,
Man, you make want to get out my old junk revolvers that my father in law gave me to get functioning again. Great restore! I was curious if anyone criticizes your choice to use the "sandblaster" to clean rust? It's not really sand like the old days blasting good metal off, rather if memory serves essentially baking soda. I remember when the technology came out that someone removed the paint from an aluminum can, very delicate process if done right. I like it. It's so nice to see the guns fire or at least function!
This was a great video, you do fantastic work! One thing though. At the end you flipped the revolver to close the cylinder. I learned from a gunsmith that that's not good for the cylinder crane; possibly bending it. Great work though, as always!
5:14 just the blastinig made id it just great ;) great that you test first shot in safe and woow realy great job again whit the gun ;) are you seling them later or keep them ;) great video ;)
I also remember when America had to fight 2 other Revolutionary Wars: One against Spain, 2nd against Mexico. That's during 1846 starting with. It's just like when our American historical figure ancestors fought 2 Revolutionary Wars against Great Britain. Canada didn't own very much of U.S. territory starting in the year 1491. 🇨🇦 🍁 🇬🇧 🇲🇽 🇪🇸
this gun looks artificially/intentionally rusted to me. the insides are a little more than dirty the outsides have that classic color you always see in your work.
It wasn’t intentionally done even though some on this platform do do that especially the channel that pretends to walk around in some sort of dump and then finds a firearm that’s ridiculous anyways I appreciate you watching and commenting as well

Almost like a clean pistol was given a 2 week salt bath. The Kriol removed the rust and returned the blue in seconds.
