#restoration #ww2 #walther
Restoration of WW2 German army walther p-38 with of course test firing. Finally got my hands on a p-38 used in the tail end of ww2 by the german army. Unfortunately this one was involved in a house fire in the States. This made it more challenging to restore with all the parts it needed. But I got it done and it works. Very pleased with it and hope you like it. Thanks for watching, Links below for socials.

You are blessed to live in a country that not only allows you to restore these old guns, but to buy the parts you need to do it. In Australia only criminals are allowed to own guns!

I'm a retired Dutch police officer. I had the Walther P5 for 35 years as my standard Dutch police pistol. I loved that pistol. I never had an issue with it. It functioned perfect and I was a very good marksman with it. It gave me a very secure feeling, always being able to put the bullet where I wanted it, even in the dark, seldom a miss. I knew Walther didn't change very much in the design but I still was surprised how much those pistols are alike. I loved your video. While you were busy I almost felt the gun in my hands. ;-)

Most American history books, they won't tell you that Adolf Hitler was demon possessed. He was no different compared to the Old Testament biblical historical figure named Haman. Both of these historical figures have plotted against the Jews in different time periods. Haman plotted against the Jews in 478 B.C. Persia, right where Iran and Iraq are both today. Queen Esther was on the throne at that time. Haman was a philosopher who had so much going up against Mordecai, who wasn't the Lord God's prophet. Adolf Hitler plotted against the Jews starting in February 1933; he did it during the Great depression America. ✡️

Awesome job you did restoring that P-38 gun to working order. At first I thought that it was beyond salvaging and that it was very hard to find ammo for it, since the gun was from a bygone era, but you managed to find the ammo for it, not to mention that you were able to get it to fire properly without jamming due to age. Excellent work and masterful skill.

After getting too good at breaking down a M-16, M-4 and M-60 (yes along time ago) it was good to see you took care to restore the springs and vital parts. I had my doubts at first, but you pulled it off with your meticulous cleaning and restoration. Especially enjoyed the test fire but would not advise shooting anything at water. It ricochets and you lose accountability of the round.
