Restoration of WW2 German army walther p-38 with of course test firing. Finally got my hands on a p-38 used in the tail end of ww2 by the german army. Unfortunately this one was involved in a house fire in the States. This made it more challenging to restore with all the parts it needed. But I got it done and it works. Very pleased with it and hope you like it. Thanks for watching, Links below for socials.

I'm a retired Dutch police officer. I had the Walther P5 for 35 years as my standard Dutch police pistol. I loved that pistol. I never had an issue with it. It functioned perfect and I was a very good marksman with it. It gave me a very secure feeling, always being able to put the bullet where I wanted it, even in the dark, seldom a miss. I knew Walther didn't change very much in the design but I still was surprised how much those pistols are alike. I loved your video. While you were busy I almost felt the gun in my hands. ;-)
Thank you very much we appreciate it, I enjoyed your comment! Thanks for watching
Most American history books, they won't tell you that Adolf Hitler was demon possessed. He was no different compared to the Old Testament biblical historical figure named Haman. Both of these historical figures have plotted against the Jews in different time periods. Haman plotted against the Jews in 478 B.C. Persia, right where Iran and Iraq are both today. Queen Esther was on the throne at that time. Haman was a philosopher who had so much going up against Mordecai, who wasn't the Lord God's prophet. Adolf Hitler plotted against the Jews starting in February 1933; he did it during the Great depression America. ✡️
Пистолет Walther P38 являлся основой для создания пистолета Walther P1,который в свою очередь стал основой для создания пистолета Walther P5.
Be honest, how often did you feel like James Bond ;)
You are blessed to live in a country that not only allows you to restore these old guns, but to buy the parts you need to do it.
In Australia only criminals are allowed to own guns!
Ya that is unfortunate and sucks, I wish things were different! Thanks for watching
I must wonder how such a kick ass country like Australia got so many woke imbeciles in government? Your covid response was barbaric. The gun confiscation thing was facistic.
If our current President had his way, we'd be gunless. Thank god our founding Fathers drew up the Constitution and the 2nd amendment.
they snookered you blokes in ozzyland now they are coming after us in the USA. resist or submit to the NWO.
Australian here - With respect, Criminals ARE NOT allowed to own guns here. Heavy penalties and / or Gaol time if caught. Pistol Club members ARE - subject to Police Scrutiny, Background Checks & Clearance, Plus regular attendance at Club Shoots.
I’m almost 60 years old and have worked on quite a few over the years. The old gunsmith’s used to say if it had been in a fire, replace every spring in it. Heat kills the temper in the spring. Great job bringing that one back.
Ya I learned the hard way, thanks for the advice and for watching!
Отличная работа! Браво мастеру! 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Heat and also electrolysis. 80 years of moisture, dirt will alter metals in strange ways through this process. Automotive radiators are an example.
i am a german policeman, this was my first weapon in the 70er years. we followed an robber, my scabbard was not closed, so i lost the 38er in snow an mud. we can t find it, but: the weather changed, 5 weeks later one friend find the pistol. no scratch, no rust, shoots perfect, GERMAN MADE...😮😮😮😊😊😊
That's crazy and very lucky. Thanks for the story and for watching!
Your pistol was not a P.38, it was a P.1 (the postwar P.38 made in Ulm with aluminium frame instead steel frame made in Zella-Mehlis)
@@jcrossier20 hi, you say this and i believe it. i know, all our police weapons were storage weapons, found in the 60er years in an 65 meter deep bunker. new old stock, everyone in oil paper. our uniforms for work inside the headquarter : made for soldiers in the 1935er year, thick wool and loden. winterclothing. in summer it was horrible to wear this, much toooo warm...
You Germans are renowned for the quality of your engineering, the world ❤'s your stuff,👍.

You and Backyard Ballistics are doing fabulous jobs on restoring historical firearms
Thank you we appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching
It's nice to see a man that knows guns inside and out. Great work!
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
WOW..... Love it !!!
Thank you, thanks for watching
I’ve got a modern (1960 vintage) P-38 that is fun to shoot. I haven’t dared break it down as totally as you did; I’m afraid I’d lose half the small bits and bobs. Thanks for the video.
That's awesome, I think you would do just fine! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
The real issue is putting the pistol all back together and you discover you forgot one small bit or bob and have no idea where it goes.
Nice restoring... The Portuguese armed forces also used the Walther P-38. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work!
Thanks we appreciate it. Thanks for the info and for watching!
Megatron? Is that you? Awesome restoration!!!
Nice! Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching
Now that is a quality Daily Carry. Gotta love the 1911 the best point shoot side arm ever.
This is a P 38 but, both are awesome. Thanks for watching
Love to see them fired after fixing !
That's the best part, thanks for watching!
Awesome job of preserving history 👍
Thanks Mark we appreciate you! Thanks for watching
You never cease to amaze with your skills , another job exquisitely done , you really put back the soul into that gun again .💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate your support!
Another fine example of a weapon damaged by fire being brought back to as near new condition , as always , accurate marksmanship Brandon , keep up the great work .
Thank you very much Pete, thanks for watching!
Excellent work, very impressive. Suggestion: include metric measurements with the Imperial ones for weights of the chemicals, temperatures, etc. It would really help viewers outside the USA.
Good ideia
Thank you very much, good idea! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding Restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much!
1:00 - takedown bolt is missing
1:24 - takedown bolt appears in a fantastic way
I had to buy a few replacement parts!
It must have been a pleasure restoring that gun, German engineering at it's finest !.
Yes it was, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Nice Job again. Think replacing the springs in any fire restoration is a wise idea as a matter of fact.
Thanks, ya it is for sure. Thanks for watching!
Great restore on that gun! Been watching Band Of Brothers and how they wanted one these to take home!
Thanks, that's cool. Thanks for watching!
I have a P38 I was given. It was made in 1942 and has the waffen proofs on it. It still fires and is accurate. It is the original sig sauer with decocker for the trigger.
Very cool sounds like a beautiful gun, thanks for watching!
I know you did this a year ago but I just wanted to tell you great job 👍🏼 I have a 1942 P-38 and 1937 PPK my grandfather bought back from WW2. He was in the 10th Mountain division and he got them from a battlefield when they liberated Italy. The P-38 still looks and fires like new, it even has the soldiers name written inside the holster. The PPK isn’t quite as nice but in very good condition
Unfortunately he did get the holster for it ! I told him to get his ass back over there and find it but I found that wasn’t a good idea! I’m just kidding of course, he was a great man who raised me and I can’t put into words how much I miss him, I also have the 1943 Colt 1911A1 he carried through the war
Of all the guns I have that Colt is my prized possession!
I just wanted to thank you for saving our world history ! What you do is so important
Keep up the great work !
Thank you very much we appreciate it! Sounds like a your grandfather was a great man! Cool that you have them now, thanks for the comment and for watching!
Germany sure makes some fine designed guns.
Ya they make a lot of good things, they were just the bad guy in both wars, thanks for watching
Nice work, man! And Why during the test fire do you remove the hand grip? Thank you!
Thank you we appreciate it, because we put it in a vice and it would damage them. Thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros And thank you for your attention!
Excellent job, another great restore.
Thank you we appreciate it!
Probably just some weak springs and a lot of walters are picky about their ammo. Nice work on the restoration.
Ya for sure, thanks we appreciate it!
@@TheKinzlerBros any time thank you for making some of the best restoration videos love seeing the old firearms made usable again.
Nice job on a quality firearm.
Thanks we appreciate it!
Great video
You are very skilled, and your channel is entertaining.
Thank you very much! We appreciate the kind words and for watching!
It amazes me that you can still order replacement parts for WWII pistols
Ya they aren't easy to find but, they are out there!
GREAT JOB, PERFECT REMEDY
Thanks we appreciate it!
Отличная работа! Хотелось бы иметь такой пистолет как достояние оружейных конструкторов!
No, I haven't mentioned this modern invention to anyone else. Especially about the flying saucer jets. Even if it's the civilian kind.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
great work! thank you for revive this pice of history.
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
Nice restoration
Thanks!
Have you watched The WW2 History channel?! The greatest WW2 channel on TH-cam. So authentic,hard working and some of the rarest content out there! Its just a single dad and his two children. Never seen anything like what he does!
No i haven't, that sounds very interesting. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful...awsome restoration
Thank you very much!
Favorite firearm is the Walther PPQ 9 mm
Nice!, thanks for watching!
PPK?
Sé mira muy bien ésa 38 buen trabajo de Restauración 👏🏽🙂👍🏽
Thank you very much we appreciate it
Very good gun P38
Absolutely, thanks for watching!
WOLF GUN Springs ? nice job THX for showing.
I got them off numrich.com, thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros Great work there.. i get my springs at WOLF SPRINNGS there really cheep and all brand new. If you have a C&R there is a 10% discount.. that helps a little. THANKS Steve
Good Job
Thanks
Awesome job you did restoring that P-38 gun to working order. At first I thought that it was beyond salvaging and that it was very hard to find ammo for it, since the gun was from a bygone era, but you managed to find the ammo for it, not to mention that you were able to get it to fire properly without jamming due to age. Excellent work and masterful skill.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, it takes 9mm so very easy to find. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic job restoring that P1. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️.
Thank you Donna, thanks for watching!
Awesome work As Always. I was happy to see the recoil springs fix the cycling.
Thanks we appreciate it, ya me too!
We couldn't see the inside of the barrel after the shot, I wonder if it was cleaned. Thanks for the quality work.
Ya, sorry I didn't show it! It was good, thanks for watching!
Goes to show how tough those guns are. If that gun got hot enough to soften the recoil springs what else did it possibly soften. Be careful and watch for signs of failure...
Absolutely, always safety first. Thanks for watching!
P-38 brought back my Wolfenstein return to the castle memories
That's cool, thanks for watching!
На мой взгляд и практику применения П-38 навсегда лучший.
Ya it's a great gun but, not the best in my opinion. Thanks for watching
Another amazing video on a resurrection of the Walther P-38. Excellent outcome. Your a great person on this restoration, Brandon. See you on the next!
Thanks Martin we appreciate the love, see you on the next one!
Eres un genio es un placer ver tu videos
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
Again another marvelous restoration to restore a piece of History it can be enjoyed for future Generations keep up the good work my friend
Thanks Tristan, will do! Thanks for watching!
I saw this pistol with a Partizan Stana Tomasevic from the Yugoslav Partisan Movement and I hope she didn't sell it, I fell in love with Walter, just a beautiful pistol.
Ya that would be unfortunate, they are cool guns, thanks for watching
Hermoso trabajo de las mejores restauraciónes que hé visto con su prueba
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching

@@TheKinzlerBros 😀
very-very nice work
Thank you very much!
Walther P38👍👍👍
Ya there cool! Thanks for watching
Very cool. 👍
Thanks!
У Деда помню такой был, трофейный
Very cool, they are interesting guns
Хотел сказать табельный? ))
@@BMW_MANнет, именно трофейный
I remember a chap at our local range in the UK in the 1970s having one. He was shooting it with reloads one day and the rearsight shot off into the blue, we never found it
That sucks, we had a few parts fly off as well. We had a magnet to find it! Thanks for watching
LOL. Glad it didn't hit him in the face!
он в отличном состоянии с самого начала
It was in a fire, thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros understood, thanks for the explanation
Nice restore. I do not have a P38 but a more modern post war production P1 with aluminum frame. Great guns, fun to shoot and designed for one handed shooting. Love the refinish job. The matte blueing looks great. Now all you need is a holster. .
Thanks, those are awesome too. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Awesome job Brandon.
Thanks we appreciate it!
This and the Luger are the finest Axis pistols in ww2
Yes, thanks for watching!
good job!
Thanks this was a hard one to replace all the springs.
If the P38 has been through a fire, then the original metal frame heat treatment is all gone, and so I would be careful firing it because of potential frame structural issues.
Ya we know, we signed a waiver. We don't shoot it much! Thanks for watching out for us. Thanks for watching
The germans sure don't mind lots of small parts... 😃
Ya they like to over engineer, thanks for watching!
There is a video on youtube where these treasure seekers dug up a mp40. It was crudd up with rust still had ammo in the magazine. That would be a nice piece to get restored.
That's crazy, yes it would! Thanks for watching
So much like a Beretta 92
Kinda ya, thanks for watching!
Would have been nice to use P.38 grips instead of P.1 grips.
Very interesting thanks.
Ya I couldn't find any at the time. Thanks for watching
Very good !! nice, but could have polished to remove cavities from the metal and even out, as well as put the corresponding grips on them and lubricate the slide guides when shooting...
Im not going to lose the proof markings to get rid of minor pitting. You can't get whatever grips you want, this is what i could find. It was beyond lubricated on the slide. Thanks for watching!
Хорошая работа!!!
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Nice 👍
Thanks
Good job 👏

Nice work!)

Gute Arbeit! / Good Job!
Thank you very much!

This gun is so complicated design
Ya it is, thanks for watching!
You are an expert , super work man 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much we appreciate you!
Хорошая мухобойка
Haha right, thanks for watching
best restoration work on youtube in my opinion. I use those same methods, only most times i do a rapid rust blue method
Thank you very much for the kind words and support. Thanks for watching!
Another great video of the P-38. Wonderful restoration,and the best ending is that everything works.
Thanks we appreciate it, ya that's always the best. Thanks for watching!
i like, excelent job !!!
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Шикарный аппарат.
Yes it is, thanks for watching!
Megatron, is that you?
Haha, right, thanks for watching!
Hi boys. Hows its going? I have to say this is one of your best. This is a keeper. Barrels are easy to find for these and reasonable price wise. Keep up the good work gents . Till next time God Bless ya..
Hey George, good! Hope you are as well. Thank you we appreciate it. Ya there are, thanks for watching!
Wery precision mekhaik of the pistol !
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Someone should make a channel that's just the glass bead blaster, that thing is very satisfying to watch.
Ya it is very satisfying, thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros I do a lot of the same thing you Bros do with old guns and have had a glass bead blaster for a long time, but here's a tip for you , after glass beading the surface I go over all the parts with a green scuff bob on my dremel at about mid speed , it makes a huge difference in the surface texture , a bit smoother than the blasted surface but not as smooth as a polished one either . Try it next time before you start the bluing process , I think you love the results.
do you work on guns for regular people?
Everybody is regular but, I know what you mean, yes we do! Thanks for watching
Высший пилотаж . Ещё б припараты знать .
Ya its a lot of information to take in,thanks for watching
A very practical and beautiful weapon. I'm impressed, it still works. How reliably they once made weapons, not like now, with plastic frames...
Yes it is thank you, new guns are nice too, steel is expensive and heavy so they use plastic wherever they can!
Что ни говори, а умели немцы оружие делать: не современные пластиковые игрушки, больше похожие на какой-то бластер космический, наполовину из дырок, а вот такие - надёжные, эргономичные и изящные пистолеты.
Ya they are really good engineers in almost everything, thanks for watching!
Megatron is in rough shape.
Yes he was, thanks for watching
Bravo! Excellent result! P-38 is a beautiful weapon, and even with history, congratulations on the acquisition👍💪
Thanks Max, it absolutely is and so much history. Thanks we appreciate you and thanks for watching!
What determines whether you hot blue or cold blue?
If a part is really small ill cold blue it, that is basically it, thanks for watching
