I occasionally receive guns that are badly rusted because they were left in a damp case or picked out of a lake. In every case they had deep pitting. Your gun looks like it has very light pitting. Looks like it was left in the rain for a few days and has lots of surface rust. Very seldom do I see a uniform coating of rust. Still fun to watch.

@sergeantbigmac Жыл бұрын

My Grandfather owned a gunshop and he'd buy peoples used guns even the rusty ones to fix up, so ive handled lots of firearms that are in rough shape IE rusted through a natural process of time and improper storage... Anyway the guns in this guys videos all have the hallmarks of intentional forced patina. You can just tell when something is real, its hard to explain. But the tell is that its a perfectly even layer of active orange rust that is thin and has not pitted or eaten into the metal. This tells me its recent and also deliberate. Whole guns rarely rust at the same rate, like the tip of the barrel or grip or highpoint surfaces will go first. My assumption is he takes a firearm in probably fair to decent condition, uses vinegar or other chemical agent to strip the bluing to bare metal, then dunks the whole gun in salt water and leaves it outside under the sun for a week. Winchester riot 1897s (in the description he says its a regular model that he added the shield to so its not a real valuable trenchgun) average in the USA around $500-900 depending on condition. IDK where he is located. But you may ask this is wasteful right? But think about it; he got 4.5 MILLION views in less than 3 months on this video alone. He has nearly 1 million subscribers. He has made, by conservative estimates, $45,000 from google ad revenue off this video alone. But probably several times that much. Not counting his other videos, donations, sponsorships, etc. With minimal filming/editing work and a $500 dollar upfront investment and a few hours of his time. This guy is a fucking genius. A deceitful genius, but genius none the less.

This kid looks like he just set down a novel and thought to himself ya know what, gun restoration will get alot of likes and subs. I'll make some videos and see how it goes. One thing is for sure, with the number of errors this guy makes doing resto there is not a chance this guy is a legit restoration expert. Probably his Dad or Grandpa's work he takes credit for.

I miss my Winchester 97. first gun I ever bought. paid 200$ for it while I was camping out in rural Oregon, found it at an antique store. was a solid-frame first year gun, long barrel, full taper choke bore. someone had painted the pump grip some sort of grey, but the stock was still pretty. I cleaned and re-stained the pump grip on a picnic table while camping out in the high desert grassland. ended up using it to drive off a mountain lion during my stay there.

This gun was most likely a hunting gun that someone converted on their own into an homage to a riot gun. At 10:22 you can see the barrel stamped "FULL", meaning that the barrel originally had a a full choke and was 28" or 30" long. The barrel was subsequently shortened to 20" during its conversion. While some hunting guns were converted to riot guns at the Winchester factory, these all had "XXXX" stamped over the "FULL" marking and "CYL" stamped underneath, indicating "cylinder bore". This gun does not have that marking.

Beautiful work. Those were carried by many Marines in World War One, the Philippines, and Nicaragua. In WW2, Marines on point carried this weapon or a Thompson Machine gun. Even in The Dominican republic, and Vietnam, The Marines carried these for a time. The Germans in WW1 actually had the gall to complain ( they were the first to use mustard and phosgene gas in artillery shells!) About the shotgun, as you could clear a trench very quickly.
