Restoring an old revolver

Cool video of restoring what looked like a hopeless revolver.

I had no idea a job like that could be done in 22 minutes. Wow.

A J frame would have taken less time.

I'm not sure that we can get the rust out of your trapdoor.

Yeah, from what I read it didn’t revolve before hand either. Was missing a piece. The guy who does those videos isn’t a gunsmith, so just made it pretty.

Nice disassembly/reassembly video. Got one of those revolvers here that was made in Pakistan. I see I'm missing the V spring on the right side for the stirrup.

Could not stop watching the video! Too bad he wasn't a trained smith. Would have loved to see it fire. Thanks for sharing.

That guy may not be a gunsmith but man if he is not an artist.

I am impressed with how smooth it looked even before wirewheel time. I have seen ones that after rust was removed, it was removed, taking some of the metal out and leaving shallow craters

Thought I was the only one that would notice that.
