This is a restoration of a true iconic gun, the Colt 1911 made in 1914. Chambered in .45 ACP made for the U.S. Army. This firearm no doubt seen the war theaters of WW1 & WW2. The barrel was replaced due to use I would assume. This gun was just rotting away somewhere until I acquired it and brought it back to life. If you enjoy the video, consider subscribing for more restorations. Up next is an M1 Garand found in a river back in the 1980's by a scuba diver.

Why would you bother with an old magazine spring or any of the springs ? they have no value and should be replaced in any case. Do you really know about restorations of collectable firearms ? Because you effectively destroyed most of it's collectable VALUE in your Amateur Restoration.

The M1911 and M1911A1 are icons of American history - one of the longest serving firearms in American Military History and for good reason - a very well designed, powerful and reliable side arm. Incredible to think that some special forces had been using these (and may still be) over a hundred years after it's original use prior to WWI. A masterpiece in American design and thank you for sharing this restoration video - very interersting.

Not as rusty as yours but it was a blast to restore it. Had to replace all the pins, screws, springs, barrel bushing, grips, hammer and sear. Turned out very nice. Love the way yours turned out!

@oldscratch3535 Жыл бұрын
Its b/c the guns are chemically rusted. Guns do not naturally rust like this. The wood grips would be rotted off of this gun if it was actually in an environment that could cause this much rust naturally. You'd have to leave it by the fucking dead sea for 10 years to naturally get this much even bright orange rust. Shit is fake. All of the springs and pins would be rusted to pieces if it was real rust. You'd have to replace all of them, but he didn't.

After all, showing people how easy it is to simply remove rust off an antique and then firing it is dangerous. Surely the content creator wouldn't put out faked videos that gullible people may imitate, hence the disclaimer right in the beginning. Surely. -This video is fake as fuck, sorry-

Nice job seeing the gun come back to life (regardless of whether you purposefully left the gun out to rust or not...as some are saying). The 1911 is my favorite semi-auto pistol. I have a very old one (s/n 17,xxx) that was issued to my grandfather during WWII which I inherited. The single stack magazine makes for a gun that fits normal size hands very comfortably. It's a timeless design that never fails to satisfy.

The military should not have changed to the Beretta 9mm. Now, there are units that use the 1911 and all sorts of other firearms. I'm glad we've moved on. I have a 1911 and I love it!!

This is a 1911A1 pattern Colt, so there's no way it could have been manufactured in 1914. You can tell from the grip patterns, the thicker front sight, the curved mainspring housing, and the longer hammer spur and beaver tail. Edit: After watching through, the frame is from a 1911 pattern, not 1911A1, yet the rest of the features are from a 1911A1. I suspect this isn't an original piece, but rather cobbled together from different parts, as evidenced by the GB proof marks on the barrel.

I could be wrong but in Canada, antique firearms, that's black powder guns made in or before 1897, are perfectly legal. So "IF" in ""Theory,"" you got your hands on an original Colt 1851 Navy Revolver or similar firearm from that time frame, that was in a similar state to the M1914 in this video, then I think you could legally restore it in Canada... Now do take this with a grain of salt, I am not a legal expert, so as stated, I could very much be wrong, so before attempting to do something like this, I would highly recomend consulting an actual legal expert first.
