what up guys do you remember the gun that we found oh my god are you serious oh my god you
just phone up is that real no are you joking me it's gotta be real to middle here's a picture
of what it looked like when we first found it to get it to this point we had it soaking in purple
power degreaser for two days now we're pouring in this red liquid which is transmission fluid which
was totally wrong thing to do a guy in a gun group on Facebook told me to do this found out
it was totally false my father ended up calling a gunsmith in Colorado he suggested using some
other chemicals to get all the rust and grime off I thought of using distilled white vinegar
or rust-oleum but ended up going with the good old Eve Apple rust the super safe stuff that you can
pour down the drain water it down it's safe on the skin in the eyes so we went with Eve Apple rust
and poured it right in there to soak and take it out periodically for scrubbing as needed at this
time the gun had been sitting in even for us for a full week the fat rust is now black for God's sake
but the gun is not clean is far from clean so we have a lot more work ahead of us but we will
persevere this is that two weeks of soaking in the evap will rust it does look better we are making
some progress still been scrubbing it periodically but it is coming off slowly but surely so keep
plugging along and scrubbing this gun so after has been sitting in the evapo rust for a couple
of weeks we decided to take the evapo rust out of the container take the gun out and use another
chemical to go at all of this ruts that is still on the gun so we decided to pour the evapo rust
back into the container with hopes of maybe using it in the future even though it is totally black
and it was clear before but maybe we can use it on a smaller project now with that out of the way
we started to rinse all the evapo rust off of the gun stick with me here I know this is tedious the
voiceover will stop and it will be just me talking actually talking we rinsed off all of the gun
parts even the small screws don't know if it was necessary but after we rinsed everything off we
let it sit in the container and dry out before we went with the other chemical o-levels so now here
we are using the other camisole which is ironed out we found this at a local store it is a rust
remover and we just sprayed it on the gun let it sit a little bit and then scrubbed it with a kind
of an abrasive brush but it didn't hurt the metal in any way it helped us get further along in this
process and then we spray some more iron out on there it gets a little repetitive understandably
but we had to keep scrubbing because it wasn't all coming off and it was taken a while but we
stuck with it rinsed it off see how it looked see how far we had gotten and then of course you know
we got do some more scrubbing on the barrel it was just so full of grime it and just from being
out in the river forever rinsing it off once again and then took a putty knife at it because
there was a lot of particles stuck between the cylinder and the frame could not fit any other
tools I didn't want to use a screwdriver because those get thicker as the taper goes up use this
plate a knife worked pretty well got most of the material out of there so the cylinder would break
free from the frame now putting it back into the container to dry out once again alright guys we've
come to the point where I'm gonna disassemble the whole gun and soak it individually in cups using
iron out rust stain removal or we also might be using tough stain remover toilet bowl cleaner
we also might be adding in some other chemicals if those don't do the job that great so let's
start taking this baby apart with the trigger so instead of watching me do this slowly I sped
it up so you can see it faster these screws are standard and old and I did not want to strip them
out fortunately this did not happen I got all the screws out without stripping them out and ruining
them so that was a good bonus okay okay hold on leave that puppy there let's take this grip off
okay okay so that comes out like so
grips apart now this is what is holding us up I think give that a whack there we go boom right out
of there so now now this is free no tension comes right out well you know and the other piece that
was here uh-huh and then there's the hammer pop Oh pop and right out we go alright so there now we
got to get this screw out I think that's it okay there's that screw so I'm gonna hook it from there
alright yeah boomstick mmm there she blows comes out
no it looks fine there's that piece so now the last piece to come out is the cylinder which
in turn a about that guys flying this up like so give her a a whack cause you want to eat my hand
done not so hard man you're gonna like it's gonna get let loose and you're gonna pinch my
hat oh and we have touch down wow that is some time she can get cheap there so there's the pin
for the cylinder now the million one hundred dollar question can we get that oh it you know
what it's already really beat up just give her a little whack with the Hammonds and there she
comes out we're not I understand we're being a little rough but this gun is a gun this gun
is in really bad shape and I'm not intending to ever shoot it again so that's kind of why
we're being a little aggressive I don't see any musket balls but yeah now we can soak this in
a nice container uh-huh it's gonna be great the barrel is clean though we're gonna have
to throw all this in to get some rough stuff and now we're gonna put everything into these
nice clear cups with some iron out to see how clean we can get it so let's do it right oh yeah
now that's what we're gonna do it with those and then we're gonna flip those
around this is going to go back into evapo rust which we still have and
we're going to go from there here we are with the evapo rust going back in
oh there it is barely cover okay well submerged again so now it's just time to pop the top on
and wait and scrub later see you then alright so we are back to the three cup stage with the gun
pieces and the main frame of the gun is in evapo rust we're gonna take these items out do a little
light cleaning to see the progress of the gun which not a lot has changed I think that when
when this is actually dry it gets rusty so I've done some scrubbing on the bottom of the gun and
I can see two stamps and it says a lewberty and cardolan VT Italy so I do not know what your does
we set it over here alright so it has been four days since we put all the gun pieces into the iron
out I have flipped these around I have flipped the cylinder around I've taken the cylinder out
once to scrub it a little bit we're gonna take all of it out of the iron out and then just place it
in here so it can dry out along with the frame and the grips which I have here that have been
drying out for a little while already once it's all dried out then we're gonna lube up the pieces
put the gun back together I don't know if you can actually see this but we have finally found
a couple of stamps looks like a star with an R N and then I can't really make that one out but if
I I'm sure if I see a chart I'll be able to make it out californee for still I mean it's this is as
far as we're probably gonna take it we want to keep the patina you know I think it looks good
this way put it back together put it on a nice plaque one more thing with the cylinder it's still
quite dirty you can see this and the inside isn't that great so we're gonna try one more trick we're
gonna put it in this to see what happens so let's go ahead and do that right do it all in there yeah
good right there so let that sit and see what magic it can work so we are to the point where
we went out got some tools to clean the barrel every other hole that we have in here we still
have to take the cylinder out of this and then clean it finish cleaning it up but I have scrubbed
this side of the gun which looks really good phone out some more stamps we got double X here
right here double X so according to what I'm thinking this is a 1964 lewberty and Cardone
replica of the old 1858 remington percussion revolver colt so finish scrubbing this off
we go ahead to use this rip this remington moisture guard
rust preventive rim oil to use on all the parts putting it all
back together and it's working pretty darn good look how nice that looks now
looking pretty nice right I say so myself well let's see if we can see through this
barrel oh yeah you can see - oh pretty good can you see some of the rifling in there so
that is that like I said you still have to clean the cylinder with these lovely tools
and then we'll assemble it all back together all right time to clean the cylinder baby so
these brushes really helped in getting inside there and cleaning that out way better than
any other brush that we actually had so it was awesome we bought this sow wheat
all right now I need a small one to go down that well that work oh yes sure will
I can't wait to put this together we've been
waiting for quite a while yeah totes mcgoats doing is good now it's on to
cylinder slides in so nice because it's all lubed up now look at her look at her
purr all right now so we're gonna get this back together surgeons work give
her that or some light poundage with the hammer please all righty
okay so first screw is going in
so I've come to the point of putting the trigger guard on getting really close to the final steps
here everybody the Hin first so we just had to put that pin in so that when the hammer [ __ ] back it
stays back and has some tension put the grips on screw that last screw in to get to grips nice and
tight and she is finally all together and it's glory [ __ ] back half safety I suppose half
[ __ ] full cocked and go and yes it sure is a dandy so we finally have a gun case to put the
revolver in but issue is the foam is up too high so it was recommended that place the gun in here
and we put the good old Holy Bible right on top of it put some weight on it so when it's been a
couple of days since we put the book and then we added the dumbbell to push the gun down now
I think it is time to take it all off remove the gun take off the paper towels put the gun right
back into that nice impression that we made with that wait now we were able to close the case now I
expected this to be happening just force it down close it and there it is ready to be displayed
and talked about so now the last thing that we have to do is talk about the new engraved plate
that we have on here it says the Kinsler bros 1964 uber team Navy Arms revolver found on fabu
twenty eight twenty twenty at Nikia spark magnet fishing now the case the gun engraved plate it
is all completed and ready to be displayed now unfortunately we have come to the end of this
