    The paint-over-park finish is very WW2 British thing, and Enfield No.4/5 rifles as well as refurbished No.1 Mk3 rifles. The paint itself is a highly carcinogenic enamel based paint called "Suncorite" iirc. It's seriously tough stuff.
    Interesting note about the Webley MkIV (and almost certainly other versions as well, I just haven't shot them) is that the break-open ejection is intended to be done with the pistol held normally, upright. In doing this, it will only eject the fired casings, and leave any unfired ones to drop back into the cylinder. The extractor only comes out far enough to eject spent casings, but not live ones, unless you're flicking it open violently or sideways.

    The paint over park is very common for British and French war time finishes. They’d Parkerise the metal and paint on top with a railroad grade black lacquer. This was found to be the most durable and cost effective finish.

      I had something similar happen while running Winchester white box 9mm through a (very much so not OEM) glock, luckily it wasn't a squib but it must have been close, no recoil and a failure to eject. Likely the primer failed to ignite the powder, or there was nearly none in the cartridge. Even with modern ammunition this can happen, always be careful (and maybe don't buy white box lmao).

  • @RilaAudio
    @RilaAudio 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +29

    An advantage of the break-action Webley design which many people forget is that it offers automatic selective ejection of only the spent cartridges when breaking open.
    By far one of my favourite pistol designs only surpassed by the Webley-Fosbery and the Webley Self-Loading Pistol.

    Palmetto Enterprises makes an excellent manganese phosphate parkerizing solution, as well as zinc based solution. I've had excellent results with the manganese, but I've not used the zinc.
    The manganese is super easy to apply with nothing but boilng water and looks great. Before oiling, it produces a medium charcoal color. I used motor oil with graphite to get the level of protection and darkness I wanted.
    I believe the period correct finish for the Weblys would probably have been zinc, but as I said I have no experience with that.
    I don't know if Palmetto will ship to Europe or of it would be financially viable for you. I do believe they are looking for distributors, though.

    I actually put the knowledge I've gained from watching this channel to good use and started restoring my grandfathers old ... gun of some sorts (it's some sort of Swedish Mauser but I can't read any markings) with the recipe of how to make that rust removing solution which it is now in.
    I was going to remove the engine out of a car this weekend but the hydraulics on the lift broke a seal (and not just an O ring, I have to order the seal for it) and I was all pumped up ready to go so.. I thought I'd do this instead.
    I'm amazed of how well that solution worked, the parts that I never thought would be moving ever again are still not moving freely but I suppose I'll have to manipulate them a bit more and then let it sit again, I have high hopes that I can do this. The barrel insides look really good as well.
    If I manage this I'll post a video and give all due credits for it on my next one which is a shotgun that is in pretty much the same shape. Amazing how all that rust actually wasn't all that much. Rust expansion will fool you into thinking that it's just too far gone.
    Anyway, thank you, your well explained methods and experiences will probably lead me to restoring a piece of my family's history (my grandfather was a member of the Wallenberg railroad transports).

I used an oxy torch around this area to melt/soften the lead and then used an old cleaning rod to dislodge the body. A bit rough.,but it worked. After test firing it's accuracy was still OK. It was handed in when semi autos were banned here in Australia sadly.

      @@Backyard.Ballistics there actually is such a thing as pistol collector, section 7 of the firearms (amendment) act 1997 (the law which banned pistols) provides several exemptions including allowing collectors to own pistols. This pistol could be owned by a collector, but probably couldn't be stored at home (assuming it was made after 1919) but could be stored at a range and fired. Generally, other than section 5 authority, you can own a pistol on a normal FAC and keep it at home as a collector if it is pre-1919 and fires a calibre considered not readily available or if you have the pistol for humane dispatch of animals.
      TLDR this revolver could be owned by a collector without being a sec 5 dealer, but would have to be kept in a designated range, and older webley revolvers could be kept by dealers at home

    I am sure you have plenty of people telling you this as is, but from my limited hear-say forums research, my best guess would be the finish was parkerized and painted with Suncorite. Now, as you said in another comment, you know thats how they treated stens, and from my research (which ill re-itterate was a lot of forum discussions. no primary sources.) WW2 era enfield rifles were also treated the same. And my No. 2 enfield revolver also looks Parkerized and painted, and if my previous assertions are true, then it does look like suncorite. Those same forums would say suncorite was extremely toxic to paint with, so recommended various grill paints/enamels as safe (and available) stand ins.

    Question, how do i remove heavy rust thats in my k98 bottom find barrel? Ive tried your mixture and it worked really good on the outside, but the inside of the barrel is still full of rust of sand.
    Also thanks for helping me and others out with all the tips and tricks, keep on rocking 🤟🏼

    Love these videos! Do you think it'd be possible to restore a firearm found through the likes of magnet fishing?

    • @Backyard.Ballistics
      @Backyard.Ballistics  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Depends how long it spent under water, at what depth and if it's fresh or salt water, but underwater rusting can be very fast, rarely something that gets fished is recoverable. Also, differently than stuff that rusts in air or underground, the internals are affected as well. Short answer is most likely you won't be able to get a magnet fished gun to shoot again.

    i'm not entirely certain as to the validity of this claim, but i have heard that break action revolvers such as the Webley and Schofield were designed to be used with cavalry since it was less awkward to reload on horseback compared to previous revolver designs.

      Chances are. Most places have strict rules for permits, so the number of potential buyers is very low. Waiting 12 weeks for a permit slows the market way down.

    I remember doing maintenance on an 1877 Italian Vetterli rifle that was chambered in 6.5 Carcano. It wasn’t in horrible condition, little to no rust, but holy hell was it dirty, everything was caked in whatever protective jelly they used and dirt from sitting 100+ years in Ethiopia. However it is a really simple firearm, after a few minutes of learning the in’s and outs, I got her cleaned up real good, then oiled and lubricated, she had a good bore and came with the cleaning rod, unfortunately spent shells get stuck in the chamber when you fire and the bolt does not want to extract the cartridge even if you don’t fire. As much as I like it, it was not worth what I paid and I can’t find anyone willing to purchase it for a price worth my time, I couldn’t even buy a decent gun with what they offer me. Don’t buy from RTI, their prices are not worth what you get.

    Enfield claimed that their revolver had been designed by Captain Boys, the man that the Boys Rifle was named after, and although he was supposedly given assistance by Webley and Scott it was his design and not theirs.
    As an aside, Webley break top revolvers served with the British military for just over 75 years, from 1887 until 1963.

      I've got a few replicas, but the main reason is the date, I belive its anything before maybe 1910 is legal. But those tend to be expensive and hard to find. Historical weapons are big here. I collect swords, sadly because of knife crime and "zombie knives" they are being banned soon. With zero consideration to those that use them for work, for example fencing instructors like myself. (Sharp swords are still kind of a no though, and you can have them in public so long as you have a reasonable defence as to why. Like a reenactment nearby or transporting them. Just don't wear them out like Garelt of Rivia)
      Edit: 1870, sorry.

      If its an "obsolete calibre" and made before 1939, then typically it's OK. You can hold some pre-1939 pistols as what they call a "section 7" firearm- they are held securely at a licenced range, if you want to shoot them, or at home if you do not possess ammunition. What defines obsolete calibre is very vague and the police purposefully keep it that way. Regardless this pistol is not on the obsolete calibres list, but the guy clearly has a dealer's license which allows him to possess so called "section 5" or illegal firearms. The legality of working on it without a licence is an interesting one, because it would require direct one to one supervision at all times.
      I have several antique percussion revolvers and a few replicas that I shoot. They are functionally identical, however one needs a licence and the other doesn't. You can get antique percussion revolvers put on your firearms license to be allowed to shoot them but you cannot do the same with obsolete calibre cartridge revolvers and pistols, as they are then considered section 5 firearms.
      It's purposefully confusing to catch people out.
