Restoring a really rusted out Colt model 1903 made in 1915 chambered in .32 acp with test firing. This was a really fun restoration but also a bit challenging. If you enjoy the video consider subscribing. As always thanks for watching.

As a Colt .32 ACP 1903 collector, I can attest these guns are hard to take down without the rust. Great video.
Absolutely they are. Thanks and thanks for watching!
I have one in 32 auto
Got one..took a gunsmith to teach me how to fully put it back together
As a veteran gunsmith that has restored many of these, I can also attest that they are above average difficulty to take down 100%. There’s that one part where you need three hands I’m pretty sure. Well, it’s the assembly that gets you really…
I have one which required a full tear down. I found it far easier to work on than the Erma .22 cal .30 carbine replica that I re-did.
I was very satisfied when you actually test fired the weapon after the restoration. Great video!
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
watching the lead just bounce off the steel target is funny, watching the pistol be restored from what would be junk to anyone else is amazing. it's cool to see how far pistols and cartridge design have come since the 1900s.
Ya they weren't moving real fast. Absolutely, thanks for watching
One of the best carrying firearms I ever owned.
Ya its a great gun, thanks for watching!
Impressive how every project has exactly the same amount of corrosion! 🤦🏻♂️
We don't do fakes on this channel, thanks for watching
The craziest part is that the rust is golden at the beginning. 🤣🤣
Those 1903s are so cool. Great job bringing this one back.
They are awesome, thank you very much we appreciate it
That is a NICE handgun! Nice work!
Ya i really like it, thanks for watching
Sweet job❤
Thanks we appreciate it!
This is my new favorite channel. Amazing videos.
Thank you very much we appreciate it!
Outstanding work!!! From rusted relic to functional shooter....Well done.
Thank you very much Max!
Glad to see new life has been breathed into his awesome .32 Auto! The 1903 Pocket Hammerless is one of my favorite .32s of all time!
We are happy to do it thank you very much for watching
If balistor doesn't sponsor you they are nuts
Ya we should ask, thanks for watching!
One of your best videos. I like this pistol!
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching
So much attention to detail and taking pride in your work really makes the difference in making just a common tool into something beautiful.
Thank you very much I appreciate you, thanks for the support and for watching!
Fake video
Attention to detail? Where? All they did was remove rust. "Restoration" would have involved removing the pits, re-engraving all the lettering and numbers, and finally a refinish. This video was a joke. Just look at how the guy holds the pistol when he shoots. 🤣
It is still considered a restoration. After all, the main goal is to make something work adjusting; regardless if it's just removing, say, rust
And in that case, making the gun in working that it's in firing condition
Everything he did was wrong, not "attention to detail." It is now a shootable $200 gat, not a valuable historical piece.
The addition of the original grips is the perfect finish. Nice work !
I agree, thank you and thanks for watching
I have always wanted one of those pistols.
Ya they are great guns, thanks for watching!
enjoyed nice video thanks 1903 best classic and comfort pistol
Your welcome, ya they are. Thanks for watching!
More of these restoration videos please, love your videos so far!
We will try, thank you very much we appreciate your support!
There is another video here somewhere that debunks these 'restore channels' because people are purposely 'rusting' things to gain views. I noticed this guy seems to always have 'equally' rusted things. I've never seen metal rust as even as his things.
Wow! Great save!
Thank you very much and thanks for watching
Wow. Just, wow! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you very much
Fantastic video! Nice to see old things getting a 2nd chance.
Thank you very much and absolutely everybody and everything deserves a second chance thanks for watching
Sure do enjoy these restorations! The time and effort and the patience you put into them!
I'm glad you enjoy them we appreciate you watching and supporting the channel
Especially the time and effort into making them look rusty
I love the Colt 1903
Ya they are cool guns for sure!
Another excellent restoration 😁👌👌👌👌
Thanks again!
For me that's fake rust. Great video tougj
I appreciate your opinion but you're wrong and thanks for watching
To be honest, I thought the same the first video I've seen from this guys. It's weird it is si yellowy... But this is like the 6th or 7th I've seen by now, and I'm convinced they are legit. You can maybe fake the rust on the outside, but not on the inside, and even the outside layer after the first cleaning, the pitting in the metal, etc, does look legit.
Awesome job! I can’t believe that old rusted barrel worked safely! Awesome video. Keep up the great work
Thank you very much, Yeah the barrel and rifling is in decent shape and still works thanks for watching
I have a 1908 and so I appreciate your work! Thanks for saving a classic. I hope keep it and enjoy it.
Very cool, thank you I appreciate your support and I definitely will keep it thanks for watching
Sliding that mag In is tough 😂
Ya sometimes, thanks for watching
No one finds it odd to see such even rust on the outside including where the grips were and next to none in the internals?
I understand your skepticism there are a lot of fakes out there but, we don't fake stuff on this channel, thanks for watching
Yeah this has the look of a deliberately rusted piece. Not saying it for sure is, but it looks like it.
@WAFFEN SS no pitting? Really?
I definitely can't say anything for sure but I have pulled firearms out of car fires before and that's almost exactly how they look. The wood grips burn off or the plastic melts and the whole gun rusts rapidly and that's what it looks like to me. It could also be a fake I'm not the TH-camr.
Edit: So I should have finished the video completely because now I see he has the original grips and I think he sprayed it with salt water and waited a week 😅
Yup. Pre meditated "aging". Perfectly even, no pitting.
Absolutely beautiful the classics never die.
John Browning's legacy lives on.
Thank you very much, No they do not that's for sure thanks for watching
A great looking pistol and looks even better. God Bless and Work Safe.
Absolutely, thank you very much! You too!
My 1903 was damaged by a fire and was pitted, but not as badly as yours. I removed the remaining bluing and just polished it to a nice white. It is from 1916 and it has later model walnut medallion grips. Nice work saving yours.
Very nice, it sounds like a beautiful gun, thanks for watching
You guys always find the neatest guns to restore. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, , thanks for the support!
find? yeah sure.. More like wrecking perfect guns and then restoring them into perfectly unusable junk that only looks as if its in good condition. I wouldnt even shoot one of these
@@norbert7297 was always curious about accelerated aging for purposes of profitable videos
Yeah, I'm always suspicions when the corrosion on the inside doesn't match that on the outside. Look at the very thin grip safety leaf-spring - perfect.🤔
@@bbutc thats because they use salt water to intentionally cause corrosion. Thats not restoration
Well Done from Long Island, New York!
Thank you very much New York thanks for watching
The old adage , " When the going gets tough , the tough get going " springs to mind ! Beautiful restoration job .
I like it, thanks for the comment and for watching!
Over a hundred years old and still fires with confidence and precision as if it was brand new… 😮👍🏼nice job!
Thank you very much I appreciate it, Everything was built better back then thanks for watching
I rarely comment on TH-cam videos but I had to on this. Absolutely incredible transformation man.
Thank you very much we appreciate it and thanks for watching glad you commented
So good, thanks for sharing
Thank you, thanks for watching!
We need a gun restoration game
That would be very interesting, thanks for watching!
I have no clue about guns but you always amaze me with your restorations. Amazing work dude
Thank you very much Tommy, we appreciate your support and kind words!
Bonita pistola! Belo trabalho de restauração! 😊👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you and thanks for watching
Beautiful! One of my favorite 32s.
Thank you very much Me Too! Thanks for watching
Awesome restoration!
Miss you guys magnet fishing.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Mary, thanks for watching
Excellent! I enjoy firearm restorations. Keep up the awesome jobs! Subscribed today!
Thank you very much I appreciate the support and thanks for watching
You did a fine job restoring this old classic Colt. I admire your persistence in getting it done and even finding a pair of original grips. I happen to know that the author Mark Twain used to carry one of these as his personal gun. These were very popular in the early 20th century before the Colt 1911.
Thank you very much I appreciate it , yes they are beautiful guns and also so are the 1911s, thanks for watching
I had no idea this was even possible. Spectacular!
Thank you very much and thanks for watching
I love these colt model 1903 pocket hammerless pistols ... thanks for restoring !
Ya they are cool, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Really surprised at the overall lack of pitting once you media blasted it!
Ya it could've been in worse shape for sure, thanks for watching
If you enjoy the video please share it. I work really hard and do not understand why they don’t get alot of views.
Firearm junkies love work like this
Shared!
Beautiful lad however why did you not boil it it had very uniform rusting and it could have developed an alright blue
Well great question I can consider that in the future. Thanks for the help and watching
Your videos are fine. Given time the views will increase. You may need a "hook", meaning something that can only be found on you platform that renders it unique. Keep up the good work.
Wow, that is amazing how you restored that old Colt 1915 to working order. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. I bet that you are a licensed gunsmith because you did a good job on that gun. Excellent work.
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words. No I'm not, I just have an FFL. Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed watching this. And then see it fired again! Fantastic! It lives again!
I'm glad you enjoyed it that's our goal thanks for watching
Was the corrosion intentional? Unless it was found at the bottom of a pond or something, the internals like trigger group and mag spring shouldn’t be that corroded because they’re essentially protected from the elements.
I bought it from a friend so I don't know exactly what was the case on how it got the way it was
Exactly fake ass rust. Is actually paint & crude mix.
You do a nice job. I have been watching your videos and from what I have seen you are 100% legit. No metal tools striking the piece, no highspeed wire wheels, just patients and the right amount of effort. You won me when I watched you try and get the barrel out of the little Colt and you put a zip tie around the barrel first so the pliers wouldn't mar the piece.
If you are faking it you're damn good at it! hahaha
Thank you very much for the kind words, I appreciate your attention to the details in my videos. Thanks for watching Rich we appreciate you!
Nice job. Glad you got a new magazine spring. Love the original grips.
Thank you very much, we appreciate you. Thanks for watching
I like the fake patina the best. Some things cannot be faked by rusting for a month. Great try though.
This is absolutely a real restoration, thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros what, did you accidentally drop it in a bucket of salt? Nothing that rusts naturally has the light color, and not so even. A real piece would have a darker color, and the rust would be worse in areas where moisture had been trapped against it.
Lol you can clearly see deep pitting only created by old rust, get a grip
Excellent restoration. I think it would add a layer of authenticity to include some background information on the gun, to a certain extent. Where it came from, how it came to be in that condition, etc. I think a lot of creators purposely destroy these guns for content.
Thank you very much that was a good idea I appreciate the advice and thanks for watching
this crap isn't authentic. absolute uniform corrosion and fake ass yellow color on the outside, but the inside is still oiled. This is an old crusty pistol that they made to be in this condition for the sake of this video. Its neat to watch the cleaning process but the pistol's condition was made for the sake of youtube...
@@brentstein1431 this rust is fake as fuck and you can't convince me otherwise. It's way too uniform. Looks like they sprayed it with vinegar or hydrogen peroxide or something like that.
I enjoy watching your restores. I’d also love to see you magnet fishing again!
Thank you very much we appreciate it and sorry that we haven't been magnet fishing
In my humble opinion the 1903 and 1908 .380 are the finest examples of semi auto pistols.Thanks,I enjoyed this.
Yeah they are great guns, beautiful pieces thanks for watching we appreciate it
Sad to see a gun like this in such bad shape. This colt is my favorite gun. I currently own 3 of them as use one as my EDC. Super reliable and very accurate.
Yes it is, very cool they are great guns, thanks for watching
I've got a photo of my grandfather with a 1903 in WW2 North Africa. Not a 1911 like one would expect, no, an 03'. I'm guessing he preferred it for the same reasons.
Why on earth would you edc this dinosaur ? Lol Do you live in commiefornia with a mag cap restriction?
@@LF12468 prob because he likes it and just thinks it’s cool
The rust looks really uniform all the way around. Where was it originally found??
It was a friend's so I don't know for sure, thanks for watching
Thanks for the video and restoring this classic pistol.
Your welcome, thank you for watching we appreciate it!
A nice job. The glass beading was the right approach, the hot blueing as well, and it was a pleasant surprise to see the test fire. Well done !
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I wouldn’t say this was restored at all. Not to take away from the effort involved in making it functional, but a restoration would involve polishing out the pitting and restamping as required. Restoration quite literally means to return it to factory condition.
That would be totally redoing the gun and you would be making the gun weak by getting that deep into the metal I don't think restoration means back to factory finish quality, thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros the literal definition of restoration is bringing something back to its original condition. If the pitting is that deep, you should not be firing the pistol at all. The metal is only as strong as it’s weakest area, which already exists in the pitting. Go ask Doug Turnbull what a restoration is. I’ve had him do a few pistols for me. They look better than new.
Absolutely amazing! These are some of the finest and most reliable firearms ever made. I own a 1903 (Mod M) made in 1918. It is 95%+ original condition and has never once failed to fire. I have the original grips but have some ivory grips on it now that were made by a retired Colt employee who has a copy of the original grip dimensions.
All that being said, I would proudly carry this one as well.
You did a magnificent job !!
Thank you very much I appreciate your comments and support, Thank you for watching!
No deep pitting in the slide, no springs rusted apart or even partially apart, all just surface rust. Did you just leave it outside for a rainy night so you could make a "cool" video and pretend you too were one of the great restorers that work on important pieces?
Nice story but, we don't do fakes on this channel!
@@TheKinzlerBros And Lance Armstrong spent over a decade denying he ever used doping.
Just because its from 1915 doesn't mean it's been rusting since 1915. It very well could have been pristine up until 10 years ago and then got neglected for whatever reason. Definitely more rust than what a night of rain will induce.
I can’t believe that this was an actual firearm thank you for restoring it you did a very nice job
Thank you very much we appreciate it and thanks for watching
Glad to see you brought this beautiful piece back to life
Me too, Thank you very much and thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros NP homie 🤘
Ah I see, we've gotten to the point where these restoration videos are so popular that guys are taking shit and throwing them in salt water buckets just to make a 'restoration' video. The corrosion is WAY too uniform... obviously done intentionally
Nice theory but it's absolutely untrue we only do real restorations on this channel I understand there are a lot of fake people out there thanks for watching
incredible !!! i just got one of these bad boys, I cant wait to test it out
Thank you very much, awesome be careful and thanks for watching!
Miss your magnet Fishin videos but really enjoy the restoration vids. Keep up the good work and keep em coming 😊
I know, sorry about that, we appreciate you still watching our restorations though thanks for the support
Amazing
Thanks
Another resurrection of the found item. Your the best Brandon. Cheers buddy! 😊
Thank you so much Martin we appreciate your support
Super satisfying to see a beautiful gun restored and saved.
Thank you very much it is very satisfying to bring it back to life thanks for watching
Fantastic job. The glass bead machine is an amazing tool. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️.
Thank you very much and yes it is thanks for watching
My favorite .32 pistol. I also have a 1925 Franz Stock .32 that I love. I may re-blue them both and your method is the one I was considering. Thanks for the video!
Very cool they are awesome guns, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
And that completed the actual restoration. Awesome test fire.
Thank you very much and thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Incredible super effort but incredible final results too. Congrats once again!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much I appreciate it and thanks for watching
This is the perfect video to explain to people why it’s okay to fully load your mags. The springs are not going to wear out over time from compression. They get worn out from expanding and compressing repeatedly, not a lot you can do to avoid that aside from never using the spring.
Absolutely couldn't agree with you more thanks for watching
Beautiful job done
Thank you very much
Enjoyed the rebuild. I have one of these. They are outstanding. Thank you.
I'm glad you liked it, they are cool guns. Thanks for watching
Wow! Such fantastic work. Thanks for Sharing!!!
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
Nicely done! Glad to see a resrorarion again farther than the shorts.
Right, thank you very much for watching!
i can't believe you fired it... brave!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Beautiful Beautiful
Thank you very much!
It's amazing that someone that could have lived in my neighborhood may have made that pistola over a hundred years ago. Growing up in Ct was weird. Many of my friends' dads worked at Colt or Springfield.
Very cool, ya it has a lot of history, thanks for watching
Great job !
Thank you!
Great work! 👍💪
Thank you very much!
Fascinating video.
Thank you very much
Neat. I have one from 1921 in excellent condition. I have never fired it.
Thanks, that is awesome. Im sure it's beautiful! Thanks for watching!
@TheKinzlerBros I also have a 1941 Turkish Mauser (I think) with ammunition from 1941. Also have never fired that weapon either.
The beauty of these restorations is that they are "reborn" since they "return from whence they came," as if they were in the factory, prior to assembly for the 1st time...( leaving aside the rust & cleaning, of course)...so it is as if it came from the factory twice...a double life! Great! Thanks!😊
Thank you very much for the kind words, we appreciate your support! Thanks for watching!
Great work.
Thanks!
pretty cool for something stored at the bottom of the ocean. lol the rust on that thing.
Yeah it took a lot of work to bring it back, thanks for watching!
Amazing job! It looks gorgeous when completed.
Thank you very much we appreciate it and thanks for watching!
That was made in the year 1912 by the serial number. Our family was gifted one of those in 1930 by Charles Pray, the first Superintendent of the Oregon State Police
I came up with 1915, that's awesome! Thanks for watching
WOW! I can watch this all day!
Glad you enjoy it! We appreciate it, thanks for watching
Beautiful!
Thank you!
That was therapeutic to watch. Well done Sir.
Thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
