The post that holds the cylinder was very clean for sitting in a river.... its also amazing that none of the screws broke and the internals came apart so easily. What a lucky find in the notreal River.
I am 66 years old and have been a mechanic all of my life and I have never seen an iron object rust in such a way as this. If this was a legitimately ground recovered object then it would not come apart as easy and the small and delicate parts would be dust. This gun is a setup, made to look rusty and worthless but is in fact in extremely rust free condition. FAKE.
I have little experience with restoration. But I’m sorta familiar with these models. There somethings that were off about this. If the whole gun was covered with surface rust and caked in over the years, I would automatically think that the screws would be rusted out also but they looked brand new. Also, who would spray paint on such a beautiful piece like that, you should’ve kept it original. My Abuelo would’ve slapped me with the belt clean across my face for doing that.
I have a few weapons.. I don't know jack about gun restoration, but those stainless steel screws really caught my eye as did a few other inconsistentencies. Yup, something is off here.
The dead giveaway for me was the barrel's bore diameter of a blunderbuss vs the cylinder bores of an elf's ashoe. Whole video reaks of questionable things. Until someone can correct me I determine it F🅰️KE
No legitimate restorer would paint an old firearm. And notice how the barrel spins freely and the trigger and hammer don't advance it...this must have been fake gun from the get go.
Simply amazing. For how much rust was on this gun and yet the poorest quality material would be in the spring and it was still in one piece. The Rush pits on the barrel were so uniform in shape perfectly made from a punch. And only on the top of the barrel nowhere else. Glad to see you’re getting lots of views and comments. Great work
Love how the rust didn’t touch the screws. You can also still gold color coming from the cylinder. Also very easy to take apart crazy!! Oh can’t forget that anyone who truly restores firearms doesn’t take a damn file to it and would never ever paint the firearm.
First of all: Ruger never made an open top cap and ball revolver, and certainly not a toy. Second, if that gun was sitting in a river long enough for their to be "deep pitting" on the surface, those screws would have rusted in and that spring should have been GONE. Secondary, if you're removing active or even surface rust with white vinegar from that much metal it's going to need to sit for multiple DAYS not hours. And if ANYONE in my shop took a FILE to a firearm to remove pitting we'd start hitting you with it.

I have done many river finds myself and in some cases specific metals can look more or less new. I guess it depends on the environment the items lays in. I have found WWII items that looks like they were thrown into the lake a week ago because they were well preserved but once the items comes in contact with the air the rust comes very fast. To me this is red rust meaning it is new so someone could have found this in excellent condition for it to rust away once out of the water. The little spring at 2:05 though makes me question things though
This just goes to show you that there are people that know a lot about things they know very little about. It’s a toy gun. Basically a copy of a Colt 1851 Navy revolver.

is it me or does this look more like a toy gun ? , I mean looking at the inner workings and how it's put together reminds me of the toy guns that I had as a child .
This is 100% a cap gun, the fact that it doesnt have a way to load ammo from the back of the cylinder, shape of the back of the cylinder and how it doesnt have an internal mechanism to rotate the barrel are all the proof i need. I would bet the metal is tin and based on the sound when the hammer strikes id say theres plastic in there too.
@@TAGyourit while all the other points are correct the revolver model is based off a cap and ball style which you load the chambers like a muzzle loader and put a percussion cap at the rear of the cylinder the long rod underneath the "barrel" is the to ram the power and ball into the chambers.
He found it in the river as it floated past him in his ducky inner tube. Roy Rodgers would be so proud of this lil' fella taking care of his toys. Brings a tear to a man's eye I tells ya.
Heavily corroded surface but the screws and spring withstood the harshness of mother nature. This new material is innovation! Most probably adamantium.
Evidence of a manufactured rust. Those heat treated heavily carbon based springs and screws would be the worst impacted. Look at how easily everything comes apart for him too...
This rust was the most unusual-appearing rust I've ever seen...not @ all like "normal" rust. It has a fabricated appearance...an almost dusted=on look, like it was artificially induced. I'm not convinced that the image this portrays was arrived @ thru naturally-aged neglect. For the alleged intensity I see here, it sure disassembles astonishingly easy!.....more easily than a naturally-rusted weapon would come apart.
Amazing what happens when you put a fake revolver in brown sugar and cinnamon. It's made out of pot metal. Not a Ruger by any stretch of the imagination.
I myself was just thinking the same damn thing. I live in the south and i work on rusty sh@t all the time, and i aint never seen rust come off like that without sticking in the pits or scabbing like crazy. So im calling BS on this one. Sorry dude try harder!
I have an 1858 .44 BP and the cylinder was stuck within 2 weeks because I was a little lazy about cleaning it. And it had no rust like your so called restore. I'm thinking you used a little sodium carbonate, some water, and a battery charger on 12 amp for 20 hours and used that gun as a sacrificial metal to make it look rusty. Then after wire brushing the black rust, you put it in an oven to dry that rust to the brown color. At least you tried. But still a good video^^
I found one with a few other Civil War era guns (including the same Pineapple Derringer Boothe used) here in VA and used the washing soda/battery charger method on them and the 1851 came out looking brand new! Gold trim and wood grips still intact…
fwiw I'm a novice but have worked with lots of cars in junk-yards and from my experience with corrosion I'm quite sceptical. I'd like to see the video of what you did to make this item appear to be covered in rust but was only mud or dirt. I don't believe this was an honest restoration. Rather it was possibly some old stock or replica that was in good condition and then made to resemble something that's old and rusted. There isn't any rust or pitting at all except in convenient places...anywhere and those screws that come out that easily is ridiculous. Then taking a file and wire wheel to something that would have significant historical or family heirloom value is absurd... Only to follow up with gold spray paint and not trying to restore or save the original grips with maybe an epoxy filler to save amap original material? Otherwise, if you came clean (pun) and showed what really happened I'd possibly upvote and subscribe.🎃(trick this time).
It’s not a real restoration. Any real river piece would have silt deposits and very little surface sand. It’s likely a crackpot deterioration where they soaked it in water and buried it in sand for a few months to make it look old. Not to mention literally filing it down like an idiot.
There's a guy who's doing a TH-cam channel restoring a ghost town. He has a few old revolvers and I think a rifle that have been found in the properties. You should get a hold of him. It's called "ghost town living" See if you guys can help each other. Awesome job BTW 👏 👍

I gotta say that I am skeptical of this kind of video. It's been rusting (corroding) for many many decades, yet there is no loss of overall metal structure and the decorative inlays are perfectly intact? The screws and the springs seemed in new condition, too. A ten year old New York F-150's frame is practically nonexistent, but this pistol's bulk is still present? I think some youtubers take an oldish item, cleverly dress it up to seem to be very old and relic-ed. Then pretend to restore it to original.
I do NOT agree. After the rust was cleaned off, there was PITTING in the metal from long term corrosion. You can't fake pitting. That is real long term rust damage.
Looks like the King of Random model. They did a video showing how to make it. I have one myself actually. Used a snapple bottle, from that brief time where they changed from glass to a heavy duty solid plastic (and now they’ve gone to cheap thin plastic bottles like evryone else… oh well). I use mine to do glass etching.
The description did say a cheap decorative gun, but I did notice the shiny screws, however it was after some cleaning. Then he started filing away on the so called pitting. I wasn’t sure whether it was pitting or scroll work. Then came the gold and later black paint. Then I wondered why he didn’t fix it so the cylinder would rotate when the hammer was cocked. Oh well, it is for decoration only. It does look kinda cool.
@@coffresiusvi1211 I'm not doubting they are old screws but they look as of they were machined using a modern lathe(non cnc) well after this "gun" was manufactured. The fact that they are stainless steel tells us that they were at least installed into the piece after 1913
@@testbawt8589 if I had to guess that was probably made around the 70s or 80s there’s some of them still floating around usually they are with some presentation piece or it may be a child’s toy definitely not made by the ruger company as everything they make actually goes bang
Idk most of these guys on these channels just make items looks old and rusted so they can have a video, like the ones that say old samurai sword restoration, when it's literally a flat rusty peice of metal
How long did it take you to rub all that crap over it to make it look that bad. People can't tell the handle was as rusty looking as the barrel. None of the screws were rusty or the spring clips an the chamber came off lovely considering how rusty it was lol. People id say its mostly mud an crap on it an it's bin out side a week
Somehow I feel a lot of the rust in these videos are done on purpose. no way items all the way rusted can be easily restored back to perfection like this. Especially the way the rusts come off easily.
@@GhostPenitent No one said it's easy. But I think the rust is self-inflicted for the purpose of the channel. no way all these items are rusty on the outside and simply dirty or slightly corroded on the inside after so long. I am of the belief he uses a chemical process to cause the rust on the outside. Just my 0.02cents. But who cares.
@@TheManWhoSawTomorrow If you people didn't notice, it was in a river, so it most certainly is corroded (maybe slightly because it's a more modern chinese copy) as well as infected with various bacteria clumps because rivers aren't really the most clean water so to speak. Maybe noticed how the "rust" came off with an oily substance afte he put it inside the liquid? Yeah, those are germs btw.

I am French and I ask myself the following question which will be the same for all object restorations in video on TH-cam: What was the most difficult , to age the object by different process or to restore the object after artificial aging? Text translated by Google.
This is similar to my toy pistol I had as a munchkin. It was from the 50s, a little western themed thing. Very trusty. Many a war was fought and won with it in the yard. 😸
Anything that Rusty would’ve been pitted much more than what it was. You also made the mistake of showing the front of the gun and the thinness of the barrel, along with it NOT matching the caliber of the cylinder. As the gun turns on the turntable, you can see the markings on the inside of the barrel match the same markings on the outside of the barrel. This shows in was injection molded, a process I don’t think was very common in the mid 1800’s.
@@cosmicbilly Thank god someone also realizes this. It says it’s a prop gun in the title and the description. Some of these folks are coming in here acting like they called the creator our for lying to them. He just straight up says it. I will admit though, I believe the rust may be faked.
@@TransfemMarta interesting.. i didnt even think of that! You think he's taking items and leaving them outside to rust so he has content for his videos? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
@@cosmicbilly I don’t think it’s really rust even. Most likely something with a similar look and feel to it. The main thing that shows this is the screws. Did you notice how intact and easy the screws were to remove? They most likely weren’t really rusted. Even though the rust may be fake, he does show the proper rust removal procedures, which could be helpful to people trying to remove the rust on old metal devices.
This toy pistol is made from Zamak, more commonly known as Mazak. It's a relatively cheap alloy of zinc, alluminium, copper and magnesium, none of which contain iron, therefore they do not rust. Would be more interesting if you showed what you do to make it look like a genuinely corroded steel pistol. If it was genuine you wouldn't get it apart, not even with vinegar! 🤥🥱

I have found WWII items that looks like they were thrown into the lake a week ago because they were well preserved but once the items comes in contact with the air the rust comes very fast. To me this is red rust meaning it is new so someone could have found this in excellent condition for it to rust away once out of the water. The little spring at 2:05 though makes me question things though
Mostly in cases screw are get rust first
Very suspicious 🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐
Vinegar and hydrogen peroxide just before the restoration… typical 😉
This just goes to show you that there are people that know a lot about things they know very little about.
It’s a toy gun. Basically a copy of a Colt 1851 Navy revolver.

I’ve been working with guns for over 35 years. I don’t have a TH-cam channel. But if I did, I sure as hell wouldn’t be putting up videos about things I didn’t know about.
If you would like to see some of my work, go over to The High Road gun forum and search for post by GunnyUSMC.
I have a reproduction pietta 1851 navy, pretty cool
YEAH I JUST NOTICED THAT IT WAS ONLY A TOY GUN DARN! THIS VIDOE IS. VERY DISAPPOINTING
It could also be a toy replica of a Itali dragoon both have similar design
@@shawnfortine3199 There is no such thing as an Itali dragoon. Colt made the Dragoon and this is obviously a replica of a Colt 1851 navy as the Dragoon was much larger.
is it me or does this look more like a toy gun ? , I mean looking at the inner workings and how it's put together reminds me of the toy guns that I had as a child .
It is a toy gun...
The title and description both say that it's a model, not a functioning firearm.
This is 100% a cap gun, the fact that it doesnt have a way to load ammo from the back of the cylinder, shape of the back of the cylinder and how it doesnt have an internal mechanism to rotate the barrel are all the proof i need. I would bet the metal is tin and based on the sound when the hammer strikes id say theres plastic in there too.
@@TAGyourit while all the other points are correct the revolver model is based off a cap and ball style which you load the chambers like a muzzle loader and put a percussion cap at the rear of the cylinder the long rod underneath the "barrel" is the to ram the power and ball into the chambers.
it is a toy... I don't get it how no one is commenting on this. Everyone just talk about screws when the whole gun is just a toy.
He found it in the river as it floated past him in his ducky inner tube. Roy Rodgers would be so proud of this lil' fella taking care of his toys. Brings a tear to a man's eye I tells ya.
Let’s just say there are some things about this “river find revolver” that I find a little suspicious…
I'm learning a lot in this comments section
Heavily corroded surface but the screws and spring withstood the harshness of mother nature. This new material is innovation! Most probably adamantium.
First thing I saw was shiny screws...so out of place
Evidence of a manufactured rust. Those heat treated heavily carbon based springs and screws would be the worst impacted. Look at how easily everything comes apart for him too...
no dude, it's more likely Chinesium
Did you notice the difference in size between the barrel bore and the holes in the cylinder? WOW! Must be some of that mystery rust at work!
IT'S A TOY GUN!!!!
yea noticed it and I damn sure didnt watch more than 40 seconds 5 or 10 seconds in a 4 or 5 areas of video
It's a black powder gun, they don't use traditonal bullets.
@@jaysongabler591 It being a cheap chinese model gun might have something to do with it.
@@jaysongabler591 the lead balls still have to be the same bore size regardless of the cartridge type.
Ahhhhhh! So you’re the man with the golden gun.
WOW, It has a stainless steel spring. That would have been the first thing to go if that was real weathering
Вау
The plastic grips should have been the first hint the gun was bogus. Even though it was a knock off it'd make a nice display piece.
Gotta admit though, as far as toys go, that thing was pretty elaborate. If it wasn't made outta tin, it almost looked capable of firing.
Agreed. Clearly a replica. Ive disassembled plenty of guns. This in not a firearm
@@grumpyed58 I always find it amusing that the 'toys' are often more complex than the real thing.

It is soo nice..super 👍👍👍❤
This rust was the most unusual-appearing rust I've ever seen...not @ all like "normal" rust. It has a fabricated appearance...an almost dusted=on look, like it was artificially induced. I'm not convinced that the image this portrays was arrived @ thru naturally-aged neglect. For the alleged intensity I see here, it sure disassembles astonishingly easy!.....more easily than a naturally-rusted weapon would come apart.
It looks more like mud not any rust i've ever seen
Fake
Amazing what happens when you put a fake revolver in brown sugar and cinnamon. It's made out of pot metal. Not a Ruger by any stretch of the imagination.
I myself was just thinking the same damn thing. I live in the south and i work on rusty sh@t all the time, and i aint never seen rust come off like that without sticking in the pits or scabbing like crazy. So im calling BS on this one. Sorry dude try harder!
This gun is 100% fake. I own one and this is not it.
Even sounds like a toy when cocked and why the hell would you wanna paint a gun they usually got blued or came in nickel silver. Naaaa not impressed
Yep that gun looks double dipped.
Or a Remington
Wow no dislikes! I bet this video is totally legit 👌
A nice job on the toy gun. If it were real, you would not have spray painted it gold. Loved the sand blaster however. Dr G
Я думала что подобные вещи вообще не подлежат восстановлению, но Вы доказываете обратное! 👍
Косметический ремонт и восстановление функционала вещи - это две совсем разные вещи.
Они действительно не подлежат восстановлению.
I have an 1858 .44 BP and the cylinder was stuck within 2 weeks because I was a little lazy about cleaning it. And it had no rust like your so called restore.
I'm thinking you used a little sodium carbonate, some water, and a battery charger on 12 amp for 20 hours and used that gun as a sacrificial metal to make it look rusty. Then after wire brushing the black rust, you put it in an oven to dry that rust to the brown color.
At least you tried. But still a good video^^
Lol
I found one with a few other Civil War era guns (including the same Pineapple Derringer Boothe used) here in VA and used the washing soda/battery charger method on them and the 1851 came out looking brand new! Gold trim and wood grips still intact…
I cringed at the sandblasting…I’m sure you used a soft enough medium, but electrolysis is so much safer… and it removes all (and ONLY) the rust..
That gun came apart way too easy and those screws he took off in the beginning looked practically brand new 🤣.
Funny how the screws came out perfectly after being so rusty for so long 🤔
fwiw I'm a novice but have worked with lots of cars in junk-yards and from my experience with corrosion I'm quite sceptical.
I'd like to see the video of what you did to make this item appear to be covered in rust but was only mud or dirt.
I don't believe this was an honest restoration. Rather it was possibly some old stock or replica that was in good condition and then made to resemble something that's old and rusted.
There isn't any rust or pitting at all except in convenient places...anywhere and those screws that come out that easily is ridiculous. Then taking a file and wire wheel to something that would have significant historical or family heirloom value is absurd... Only to follow up with gold spray paint and not trying to restore or save the original grips with maybe an epoxy filler to save amap original material?
Otherwise, if you came clean (pun) and showed what really happened I'd possibly upvote and subscribe.🎃(trick this time).
Its a toy cap gun
@@4phlpphlp figured that out a while ago but still... do they corrode differently b/c they're toys?
It’s not a real restoration. Any real river piece would have silt deposits and very little surface sand. It’s likely a crackpot deterioration where they soaked it in water and buried it in sand for a few months to make it look old. Not to mention literally filing it down like an idiot.
A1 restore great job brother
There's a guy who's doing a TH-cam channel restoring a ghost town. He has a few old revolvers and I think a rifle that have been found in the properties. You should get a hold of him. It's called "ghost town living" See if you guys can help each other. Awesome job BTW 👏 👍

Dude, you lost me when you broke out the metal file.
Lost my mind when he completely fucked the interacite design on the barrel that someone spent 100+ hours making 150 years ago
The use of the file, or the fact he doesn't know how to use it properly?
He lost me at the spray paint
@@Grumpy_Stiltskin Lost me when he called it a "scraper" Should we cut him some slack, I think he is just a beginner....
@@xxxshowxxxstopperxxx Ummmm....not. that cheap replica is made 20 years old and that design was molded in and took seconds to do.
Best part of the vid was seeing the homemade sandblaster. Seemed to work well.
I too was impressed by that sand blaster... even sent the video to my brother to point that part out... good eye there Dakota...
От куда взялись нержавеющие шурупы ? а барабан снялся как из нового , и что это за ржавчина что нет коррозии метала . Я думаю что это подстава.
So do I. It's like they use something to make whatever they restore rust really bad. So it's just cleaning up a little rust.
Нержавеющие шурупы взялись от туда же откуда и пластиковые накладки на ручке.😁
I noticed about the screws as well. I thought it was odd.
Ты прав, нас пытаются нае...ть😉
Похоже на детскую советскую игрушку )) У меня такой был алюминиевый , с такими же узорами ))
toy gun with artificial weathering
The man with the golden gun!
I gotta say that I am skeptical of this kind of video. It's been rusting (corroding) for many many decades, yet there is no loss of overall metal structure and the decorative inlays are perfectly intact? The screws and the springs seemed in new condition, too. A ten year old New York F-150's frame is practically nonexistent, but this pistol's bulk is still present? I think some youtubers take an oldish item, cleverly dress it up to seem to be very old and relic-ed. Then pretend to restore it to original.
Sorry, I don't like fakes.
“Hey pa look what i found!” “What is it son?” “Its a deep fried gun!”
I like your gun design of the gun
A not that old toy revolver with some artificial rust and dirt on it ?
I was thinking that too
Ya i think thats a toy
I agree as well.
I do NOT agree. After the rust was cleaned off, there was PITTING in the metal from long term corrosion. You can't fake pitting. That is real long term rust damage.
@@MrBernard0911 those cheap toy revolvers are cast from zinc alloy where pitting due to the material and casting process is normal
Guys,this here is a Amazon revolver, that cost 25 dollars, I literally know the symbols and can tell my man just painted it to create that
Hahahahaha
You can get one for only $27.41now 🤣
I've been wondering for a while if someone would make a fake rusty object for these videos, and here we have it
Daaaaamn, it's amazing how even the wood handle rusted 😂
Nobody makes two piece frames it's a toy
I can tell it's fake by many other tell tale signs.
@RapidDecisions I'm guessing you don't know the difference between decoration gun and a toy gun.
“I prefer to use epoxy”
Yes after failing to drill holes I see lol
I'll give you a like just for that homemade sandblaster, so simple yet it works!
Looks like the King of Random model. They did a video showing how to make it. I have one myself actually. Used a snapple bottle, from that brief time where they changed from glass to a heavy duty solid plastic (and now they’ve gone to cheap thin plastic bottles like evryone else… oh well). I use mine to do glass etching.
Nice bakery job 👏
The description did say a cheap decorative gun, but I did notice the shiny screws, however it was after some cleaning.
Then he started filing away on the so called pitting. I wasn’t sure whether it was pitting or scroll work.
Then came the gold and later black paint.
Then I wondered why he didn’t fix it so the cylinder would rotate when the hammer was cocked.
Oh well, it is for decoration only.
It does look kinda cool.
There were no parts in the toy gun to rotate the cylinder, and no parts to lock the cylinder in place when firing the "gun". This is a toy gun.
Also, how come the screws were not rusted like the rest of the assembly?
They look like more modern screws tbh
THey are stainless steel and flat screws (old)
@@coffresiusvi1211 I'm not doubting they are old screws but they look as of they were machined using a modern lathe(non cnc) well after this "gun" was manufactured. The fact that they are stainless steel tells us that they were at least installed into the piece after 1913
@@testbawt8589 if I had to guess that was probably made around the 70s or 80s there’s some of them still floating around usually they are with some presentation piece or it may be a child’s toy definitely not made by the ruger company as everything they make actually goes bang
Cause its fake.
Video should be called "I waste a lot of time on a crappy toy gun." Glad I only skipped through it.
Ok bryan
This guy got major skills 🅰️➕
I guess rust doesn’t eat away at the fine details.
Real rust does.
I think that’s made of zinc/magnesium I was really wondering how that much rust didn’t do that much pitting at all.
Idk most of these guys on these channels just make items looks old and rusted so they can have a video, like the ones that say old samurai sword restoration, when it's literally a flat rusty peice of metal
The central pin that the revolving chambers sit on was immaculate. And not a busted screw head in sight.
You do great work
His “restoration” ruined the gun more than when he smashed it in mud before he started filming.
I think, you're such a Great Artist. Thanks from Greece..
How long did it take you to rub all that crap over it to make it look that bad. People can't tell the handle was as rusty looking as the barrel. None of the screws were rusty or the spring clips an the chamber came off lovely considering how rusty it was lol. People id say its mostly mud an crap on it an it's bin out side a week
Shut up, even if it is fake dont try to ruin the experience for everyone.
@@floyd_gamez7150 lol what experienceing fake restoration. Read the comments 90% of people agree with me 🤪😂🤣😝
Another fake restoration video out of Asia. Over 3 million views so I guess it’s working.
The sand blaster literally does most of the work 👌👍
I mean from 1851 this video looks legit
Somehow I feel a lot of the rust in these videos are done on purpose. no way items all the way rusted can be easily restored back to perfection like this. Especially the way the rusts come off easily.
If you think that is easy then I guess you work lifting planets lmao
@@GhostPenitent No one said it's easy. But I think the rust is self-inflicted for the purpose of the channel. no way all these items are rusty on the outside and simply dirty or slightly corroded on the inside after so long. I am of the belief he uses a chemical process to cause the rust on the outside. Just my 0.02cents. But who cares.
@@TheManWhoSawTomorrow If you people didn't notice, it was in a river, so it most certainly is corroded (maybe slightly because it's a more modern chinese copy) as well as infected with various bacteria clumps because rivers aren't really the most clean water so to speak.
Maybe noticed how the "rust" came off with an oily substance afte he put it inside the liquid? Yeah, those are germs btw.
I don't know how old the gun was but the handles were plastic - My guess is a reproduction. I do like the home DYI Sand Blaster!
thank you for comment jason
Considdering Ruger was founded 1950ish and this looks like a percyssion revolver a 1860s, I doubt this is a Ruger
Seeing now how the frame is done, its not even a real gun 😅
@@manganvbg90 it's modeled after the 1851 Colt revolver, you can tell by the barrel design.
A decorative reproduction.
I'm not sure why would would spend all this time restoring a toy gun but it looks good
Amazing!
Pancho Villas long lost revolver surfaces at last! Half the screw heads were cast in place, and the barrel is as thin as electrical conduit.
Как говорил Станиславский "не верю!" Сам револьвер такой ржавый а пружина как новая?!? То есть весь револьвер из обычного железа а пружина из нержавеющей стали?? Чето подозрительно🤔🤔 ставлю класс только за приложенный труд и терпение.

Так это не боевой :) он на пистонах обычных,зачем его делать из оружейной стали?или даже из нержавейки?
Eu achei sensacional, fantástico
fake
Ruger has never made a “open top” revolver…
Well that came apart easily😮
I would have left the pitting so as to save the scroll work on the gun. After all it is a decoration piece. And powder coating would have been best.
I am French and I ask myself the following question which will be the same for all object restorations in video on TH-cam: What was the most difficult , to age the object by different process or to restore the object after artificial aging? Text translated by Google.
Ikr 🤮 something in that condition, would've been crumbling 😅😂🤣
The hardest part is not seeing the dislike count of this fake restoration.
This is similar to my toy pistol I had as a munchkin. It was from the 50s, a little western themed thing. Very trusty. Many a war was fought and won with it in the yard. 😸
Yep, its a toy.
Remarkable!

Him: Little squeeze of WD-40
Also him: proceed to drench the gun with WD-40
Gordon Ramsay:
Anything that Rusty would’ve been pitted much more than what it was. You also made the mistake of showing the front of the gun and the thinness of the barrel, along with it NOT matching the caliber of the cylinder. As the gun turns on the turntable, you can see the markings on the inside of the barrel match the same markings on the outside of the barrel. This shows in was injection molded, a process I don’t think was very common in the mid 1800’s.
Lmao its a toy. Replica. Not a real gun. Calm down gi joe
@@cosmicbilly Thank god someone also realizes this. It says it’s a prop gun in the title and the description. Some of these folks are coming in here acting like they called the creator our for lying to them. He just straight up says it. I will admit though, I believe the rust may be faked.
@@TransfemMarta interesting.. i didnt even think of that! You think he's taking items and leaving them outside to rust so he has content for his videos? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
@@cosmicbilly I don’t think it’s really rust even. Most likely something with a similar look and feel to it. The main thing that shows this is the screws. Did you notice how intact and easy the screws were to remove? They most likely weren’t really rusted. Even though the rust may be fake, he does show the proper rust removal procedures, which could be helpful to people trying to remove the rust on old metal devices.

This toy pistol is made from Zamak, more commonly known as Mazak. It's a relatively cheap alloy of zinc, alluminium, copper and magnesium, none of which contain iron, therefore they do not rust.
Would be more interesting if you showed what you do to make it look like a genuinely corroded steel pistol. If it was genuine you wouldn't get it apart, not even with vinegar! 🤥🥱
Interesting. How did you figure that out?
@@csl110 I concur. It is a toy. Hot Wheels, Matchbox cars and toy cap guns are made of Zamak (Mazak). I own both an original and a fully functional steel Italian reproduction of the 1851 Colt Navy, upon which, this was made.

He never tried to pass the gun off as real. He literally called it a decorative gun...
That rust was definitely man made.
and WD40 is a water displacement product not a lubricant or rust remover
