I don't know about other places but where I live by drilling the barrel you don't deactivate the weapon, you have to send it to the police and they take care of everything, giving you a document for the weapon at the end, so it makes no sense drilling the barrel, the police make a mess with the weapon, so having a channel dedicated to it you could get the license and have them without any problem arguing their historical value
Потрясающий аппарат в сохране. Один из ранних, дореволюционных с "солдатским" курком(без шептала самовзвода). Также видим полукруглую мушку до модернизации 1930 года. Дверца барабана с выемкой под выступ на рамке.Накладки рукояти можно достать на аукционах, причем как раз таки ранние с маленькой сеткой.Будет более гармонично. Мое почтение.

What have I learned about the history of Canada? Here's what. Canada didn't own much of the U.S. territory like the way Mexico did, starting in the 15th century. This also has to deal with just how common-most gun ownership was in Canada, compared to what it was in Mexico; even during the Napoleonic Wars. 🇨🇦 🤔 😳
This is a "110yo gun" If you live in a country, region, or municipality who fears you owning a gun that was made before the Titanic sank, you have to seriously question the mentality of your officials. I mean, seriously, are they're scared you might start robbing stagecoaches?!!!!
Actually this model of gun the Nagant M1895 was produced still during WWII and still in limited use in 2022. Was originally made in Belgium but Tsar bought rights and moved production to Tula in Russia in 1898. Was also produced in Poland. Over 2,000,000 produced. Would have to look at markings and serial # to determine true age except the Belgium production which would be over 126 years old and worth a few more euros. And yes you could rob a stagecoach but more likely a liquor store. Can get them for under $200 by mail in US with a C&R. Ammunition is difficult to find in the US but plentiful in former Russia client countries. The ammo is very unique
Долго машинка лежала - коррозия уже сильно заметна. А машинка-то непростая - царского выпуска (ИТОЗ), солдатского образца (одинарного действия). Надеюсь, шпенек под дверцей барабана сохранили.

Ruined, stop doing this, let professionals do it. Why "restore" it, if you make it inoperable and it's not going into a museum. Congrats on turning it into a worthless paper weight.
To the people thinking it’s a good idea to fire this… absolutely not… the metal is very weak and he is making it even weaker with all that grinding… so unless you want shrapnel in your hands and face… don’t do it…
This is a classic example of how not to restore a firearm, especially using a torch?! And a weapon in this condition would not have undergone such a transformation after only two hours of electrolysis.
Don't feel so bad it's okay it's easy for skilled man like the gentleman working on the gun to easily remove the bolt and unplug the barrel. Don't feel so bad it is reversible. 💪👍🙏😇🙂
It's most likely a legality thing, I'm sure you cannot own a potentially active firearm where he is, or without a license. It's probably the same everywhere.
Me too. Sad when guns are destroyed but he may live in a disarmed country and may be required by law to render them inoperable in order to restore and collect them

There are a couple good reasons why he might do it. 1) it may actually be dangerous to shoot it if its corroded badly. 2) in his country it ma be illegal to possess a functioning firearm.
@@SUPREME-zp5py you don’t have to “decommission” it. It becomes a paperweight after that. If I had one, I wouldn’t shoot it, but I also wouldn’t destroy it.
It's very clever. Just because a weapon is old doesn't mean it's useless. There was a time when firearms were more than just money spent on defense. In time many old firearms would be passed down from father to son to grandson. It's a passing on of one's responsibility to be man of house: the guardian protector of the family. Of this passing of responsibility, it was crucial to keep one's weapon in good working order. There was a code of honor then amongst men. Not so much now as we live in an age of weak minds and not mature men.
There is no change in rust color between the "holster part" and the "open" part. All of the tolerances on the gun parts are more than ok. Miraculously, very few rust bites, it look almost new after the restoration. Funny how no one asks about "compound X" he is using to restore the gun parts.
So you're saying you can't see any of the deep pitting and poor surfaces still evident after the "restoration"? While not the worst attempt at cleaning off rust and putting back together style of "restoration" I've seen on TH-cam, I would hardly call it looking even closely to "new", okay I'm comparing his finished results to one that's been in my collection for a number of years, that has some holster ware and not left out in the rain to rot! I would still call it a rusted, pitted, relic AFTER he finished.
People are mad that this guy put a screw in the barrel, but it’s an *antique* it’s probably corroded and unsafe to shoot, or it’s illegal to posses a functional one in his country.
The Model 1895 Nagant, seven shot, gas-seal revolvers were designed by the Nagant Brothers of Belgium with the design licensed to the Imperial Russian government and made in the millions. Not very rare here in the US, until recently they sold for around $250 or less. I own several examples, one made in 1917, one in 1927 and one in 1942. I remember paying around $50 each about 10 years ago and they came with holster, cleaning rod, lanyard and a screw driver/tool. Ammo has always been difficult to find here, but I was able to purchase 30 or 40 boxes of imported rounds at the time. Fun guns to shoot and always gets attention at the range even though they're not know for being very accurate.
@@luxbeci2 No just not a RARE gun, at least not in the United States. I know of one gun shop that still has between 90 and 100 of them still in the crates they were shipped from Russia in, including holster, cleaning rod and lanyard and while the prices have risen to around $200 US, they were only $80 US when I purchased the 5 in my collection. And all of them with perfect bluing and all markings intact.
why did you even bother to do what you did? it is now just a hunk of junk! maybe it can be used as a fishing weight now!! LEAVE THIS KIND OF STUFF ALONE IF THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO TO THEM!!!
I'm not sure if it's a Nagant I have the same pistol and it's not a Nagant, mine is in very good shape and from what I see it's worth about $80 to maybe $100....from what I'm seeing in comments this resto was done very poorly I'm not a gun expert so have no idea but either way he put in more work than the firearm will ever be worth.i forget what mine is but not a Nagant like I was told...but mine is in nice shape so will hang on to it because it is over 100 years old and works properly...that says something....
It is a Nagant model 1895, seven shot, gas seal revolver. Too bad that even after "restoration" it's so pitted so that the markings can't be read! I own several and so many were made and later imported in to the US that until recently, they were still selling for less than $250 with holster, cleaning rod, lanyard and in some cases, screw driver/tool. While ammo has been difficult to find more recently, I have about 30 boxes of imported rounds in my gun safe. Fun guns to shoot and always brings comments at the range from other shooters! Oh and someone made replacement cylinders in .32 ACP back when the ammo was impossible to find! I have one and after installing and checking the timing, it shot well but accuracy was reduced.
Seek Jesus! Repent for the Kingdom is at hand! Jesus is the way! The truth! And the life! He’s the ONLY way! Open the Bible, read and understand that we are in the last days! Put your full trust in him! Believe 1 Corinthians 15 1-4!
Everybody is complaining about the fact that a screw was drilled into the barrel and that the barrel was plugged. Cry no more!!! do realize that the skilled man working on the gun is restoring it. Has it ever crossed your minds that it is possible to unplug the barrel and to seal off the two little holes on the sides and to make the barrel usable again? Here is a skilled man working who can easily reverse what he did to the Barrel in order to plug it he knows what he is doing!!! so it is not impossible for he to Simply remove the screw Bolt from the barrel and simply solder metal back into the two little holes and to make the barrel usable again. 💪👍😃 Besides it is important he plugs the barrel because according to his local laws the firearm needs to be unable to fire in order to make it legal to collect👍 so please stop crying😢 over a little bolt that's put on a barrel😁... by the way the man did an awesome job at restoring the weapon.👏
Will this Smith and Wesson ever remind me of the video game called Blood Brothers? I've even seen long barrel revolvers like the ones that were used in the comedy flick. The 3 Amigos. It's when I've first seen them appear.
Good job on the tools you have! Just my opinion, the Ole' Nagant pistol was just begging for "Glas Bead Blasting". But, your pistol turned out to be a nice wall hanger. Thanks for the video.
Im restoring a 1914 British 303 rifle an my stuff isnt coming apart near as easily as this did ,been working 3 weeks just to get the parts to move an start working like original
The thing about the trolls grumbling how you destroyed it. Is they fail to realize the gun barrels integrity was already distributed by the internal rest. Any attempt to fire that weapon, would have resulted in the barrel exploding! Even if you could have cleaned it, a bullet would wable inside the barrel and jamb because the internal dimensions would be way off for safety.
No actually, the nagamt revolver is a low pressure firearm, similar to an old blackpowder gun. The bullet wouldnt get jammed in the barrel either, they only do that if the powder charge is too low or if the barrel is too small. With the exception of the mechanical parts not working (Im sure they would) then it shouldnt have any issue firing, sketchy maybe, but that is one of the few firearms I would chance shooting.
It looked perfectly capable of firing a bullet as the integrity of the metal didn’t look too compromised after restoring. Btw calling people trolls just because they don’t think the same as you is showing a lack of intelligence on your part.
@@stevenwebb1271 It may have "looked" perfectly capable of firing. I've read too many reports of guns not properly clean and taken care of that "looked" capable of firing. Those who tried it either wind up dead or maimed for life. And accusing someone of ruining a potential threat to life and limb is a lack of intelligence, I always call "grumblers", trolls because traditional trolls are not very bright either. It's easy to criticize someone for doing the right thing. A weapon that has been in the ground for 110 years, severely rusted is seriously compromised. Ask any forensic investigator/scientist, they will tell you the same thing. I harbor no ill will towards you, and may you live long and prosper.
@@kenkisty5273 It wasn't their restoration or lack of rust they took offence to. It was drilling the hole in, and plugging of the barrel. Yes it's most likely highly unsafe to fire, but some people still don't like the fact that they damaged it that way. It's just an American sensibility issue. We really love our guns.
Not sure what country this is being done but it's not the US. Drilling a hole through the barrel and grinding down the firing pin made all the work restoring this antique a total waste of time. This 'gun' has be destroyed and turned into nothing more than a worthless paprtweight.. hope this man refuses any future guns and has them sent to the US to be done by someone that appreciates the real value of a valuable antique.
Why did you drill a hole in the barrel then put a screw in it, after I saw that I couldn't watch anymore. This wasn't a restoration, it was a desecration.
@@mosin_boi Yeah one of MANY bad ideas used in the "restoration"! A brass wire wheel? Really? Well at least his bluing process wasn't as bad as I've seen! Just kidding, that cold blue process is not the way to go.
Was für restaurieren? Innerlich alles noch voll mit rost, die Trommel dreht sich kaum und der Abzug ist viel zu langsam mal ganz von abgesehen das das rohr durch den Druck jetzt warscheinlich total verzogen ist
Yes a model 1895, seven shot, gas-seal revolver designed by the Nagant Brothers in Belgium. The Imperial Russian government licensed the design and made them in the millions.
I have one of these!. I remember buying it through a registered gun dealer for 90 bucks. It came with a holster, cleaning tool + kit and even a spare cylinder chambered in 32. Neat little plinker, but definitely not a revolver for self defense in any situation. It's best to keep them as display pieces in my opinion.
Everything that was done here was a total waste of time and effort after driving a pin through the barrel of this historic firearm. Driving this pin through the barrel is also a very dangerous way to "deactivate" any firearm. This "restoration" was absolutely worthless in many more ways than I have already mentioned. Whoever did this, shame on you!
That gun , is in great shape for a Gun that was underground, I know I have one. Looks Like one that was under a floor board. maybe, That gun will clean up nice. I,m writing this at the start of your Video.

I know of one gun shop that still has between 90 and 100 of them still in the crates they were shipped from Russia in, including holster, cleaning rod and lanyard and while the prices have risen to around $200 US, they were only $80 US when I purchased the 5 in my collection. And all of them with perfect bluing and all markings intact.
I didn't think your channel was from the United States like it says on your about. Why do you have it set to that why not put your own country??
why did you even bother to do what you did? it is now just a hunk of junk! maybe it can be used as a fishing weight now!! LEAVE THIS KIND OF STUFF ALONE IF THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO TO THEM!!!
А в боксерских перчатках было бы ещё удобнее работать.
Hes really a meticulous and a patient person at the same time. Thanks for this creative therapy MR. PATIENCE..
I'm not sure if it's a Nagant I have the same pistol and it's not a Nagant, mine is in very good shape and from what I see it's worth about $80 to maybe $100....from what I'm seeing in comments this resto was done very poorly I'm not a gun expert so have no idea but either way he put in more work than the firearm will ever be worth.i forget what mine is but not a Nagant like I was told...but mine is in nice shape so will hang on to it because it is over 100 years old and works properly...that says something....
It is a Nagant model 1895, seven shot, gas seal revolver. Too bad that even after "restoration" it's so pitted so that the markings can't be read! I own several and so many were made and later imported in to the US that until recently, they were still selling for less than $250 with holster, cleaning rod, lanyard and in some cases, screw driver/tool. While ammo has been difficult to find more recently, I have about 30 boxes of imported rounds in my gun safe. Fun guns to shoot and always brings comments at the range from other shooters! Oh and someone made replacement cylinders in .32 ACP back when the ammo was impossible to find! I have one and after installing and checking the timing, it shot well but accuracy was reduced.
@@robbylock1741 thanks for the info...👍👍
Seek Jesus! Repent for the Kingdom is at hand! Jesus is the way! The truth! And the life! He’s the ONLY way! Open the Bible, read and understand that we are in the last days! Put your full trust in him! Believe 1 Corinthians 15 1-4!
Everybody is complaining about the fact that a screw was drilled into the barrel and that the barrel was plugged. Cry no more!!! do realize that the skilled man working on the gun is restoring it. Has it ever crossed your minds that it is possible to unplug the barrel and to seal off the two little holes on the sides and to make the barrel usable again? Here is a skilled man working who can easily reverse what he did to the Barrel in order to plug it he knows what he is doing!!! so it is not impossible for he to Simply remove the screw Bolt from the barrel and simply solder metal back into the two little holes and to make the barrel usable again. 💪👍😃 Besides it is important he plugs the barrel because according to his local laws the firearm needs to be unable to fire in order to make it legal to collect👍 so please stop crying😢 over a little bolt that's put on a barrel😁... by the way the man did an awesome job at restoring the weapon.👏
Will this Smith and Wesson ever remind me of the video game called Blood Brothers? I've even seen long barrel revolvers like the ones that were used in the comedy flick. The 3 Amigos. It's when I've first seen them appear.
Good job on the tools you have! Just my opinion, the Ole' Nagant pistol was just begging for "Glas Bead Blasting". But, your pistol turned out to be a nice wall hanger. Thanks for the video.
Im restoring a 1914 British 303 rifle an my stuff isnt coming apart near as easily as this did ,been working 3 weeks just to get the parts to move an start working like original
The thing about the trolls grumbling how you destroyed it. Is they fail to realize the gun barrels integrity was already distributed by the internal rest. Any attempt to fire that weapon, would have resulted in the barrel exploding! Even if you could have cleaned it, a bullet would wable inside the barrel and jamb because the internal dimensions would be way off for safety.
Yes, some of the people here think that the gun was better off with the nine pounds of rust on it.
No actually, the nagamt revolver is a low pressure firearm, similar to an old blackpowder gun. The bullet wouldnt get jammed in the barrel either, they only do that if the powder charge is too low or if the barrel is too small.
With the exception of the mechanical parts not working (Im sure they would) then it shouldnt have any issue firing, sketchy maybe, but that is one of the few firearms I would chance shooting.
It looked perfectly capable of firing a bullet as the integrity of the metal didn’t look too compromised after restoring. Btw calling people trolls just because they don’t think the same as you is showing a lack of intelligence on your part.
@@stevenwebb1271 It may have "looked" perfectly capable of firing. I've read too many reports of guns not properly clean and taken care of that "looked" capable of firing. Those who tried it either wind up dead or maimed for life. And accusing someone of ruining a potential threat to life and limb is a lack of intelligence, I always call "grumblers", trolls because traditional trolls are not very bright either. It's easy to criticize someone for doing the right thing. A weapon that has been in the ground for 110 years, severely rusted is seriously compromised. Ask any forensic investigator/scientist, they will tell you the same thing. I harbor no ill will towards you, and may you live long and prosper.

It wasn't their restoration or lack of rust they took offence to.
It was drilling the hole in, and plugging of the barrel.
Yes it's most likely highly unsafe to fire, but some people still don't like the fact that they damaged it that way.
It's just an American sensibility issue.
We really love our guns.
Not sure what country this is being done but it's not the US. Drilling a hole through the barrel and grinding down the firing pin made all the work restoring this antique a total waste of time. This 'gun' has be destroyed and turned into nothing more than a worthless paprtweight.. hope this man refuses any future guns and has them sent to the US to be done by someone that appreciates the real value of a valuable antique.
Why did you drill a hole in the barrel then put a screw in it, after I saw that I couldn't watch anymore. This wasn't a restoration, it was a desecration.
What a sorry half ass restoration and nice way to make sure it will never fire again drilling a hole through the barrel
Is this russian or germán revolver? Made in 1910? Wold war 1 time
Сверлить ствол это бесчеловечно
А три гуся, по вашему человечно?
Could not bring myself to watch the entire video, just no...
This must have been the gun they used on the set of rust
Olá tenho um sinson nagant 1883 e estou aos poucos restaurando ele foi encontrado em Rio aqui em Goiás.
Advice: find another channel to ask for help from. Also, never blow torch a gun. It will ruin the temper and destroy the springs.
@@mosin_boi Yeah one of MANY bad ideas used in the "restoration"! A brass wire wheel? Really? Well at least his bluing process wasn't as bad as I've seen! Just kidding, that cold blue process is not the way to go.
Was für restaurieren? Innerlich alles noch voll mit rost, die Trommel dreht sich kaum und der Abzug ist viel zu langsam mal ganz von abgesehen das das rohr durch den Druck jetzt warscheinlich total verzogen ist
I prefer the vídeo with no music, just the sound of the tools. Its just mt opinion btw
It is a Russian Nagant
Yes a model 1895, seven shot, gas-seal revolver designed by the Nagant Brothers in Belgium. The Imperial Russian government licensed the design and made them in the millions.
That’s when I stopped watching and selected “don’t recommend channel”
Noooo! Wire wheels bad! Rust conversion and carding wheels good!
There’s no way that pistol is functional no, I don’t buy it
Parei de assistir quando colocou o parafuso no cano, nada justifica isso
Только в России надо уродовать ствол . Обидно за старинное оружие,сделали кастрат ...
Ce n'est plus une arme,c'est un presse-papier, plus rien pour moi.
I have one of these!. I remember buying it through a registered gun dealer for 90 bucks. It came with a holster, cleaning tool + kit and even a spare cylinder chambered in 32. Neat little plinker, but definitely not a revolver for self defense in any situation. It's best to keep them as display pieces in my opinion.
That one pipe gun in fallout 4
Should've left it be without that screw in the barrel
Everything that was done here was a total waste of time and effort after driving a pin through the barrel of this historic firearm. Driving this pin through the barrel is also a very dangerous way to "deactivate" any firearm. This "restoration" was absolutely worthless in many more ways than I have already mentioned. Whoever did this, shame on you!
Is this the make that ended the ROMANOVS?
That gun , is in great shape for a Gun that was underground, I know I have one. Looks Like one that was under a floor board. maybe, That gun will clean up nice. I,m writing this at the start of your Video.
Диактив сомнительный
В Рф нужно не только ствол( заварить вход и выход, приварить к рамке), но и барабан деактивировать
Fantastic job
Never use wire wheels on firearms....
Why? It's just a rough cleanup.
@@robertbrandywine because wire brushes scratch hell out of the metal, then it's not fit to look at
3:28 What on earth is this?? There are much better ways to make the gun inoperable. This just seems dangerous.
As soon as the screw went in the barrel I was done. Unfortunately I left it running typing this comment so I noticed him going at it with the wire brush ...
Why did you plug the barrel??
What a wast why would you deactivate it
