C'est une ânerie sans nom d'avoir jeté ca. Bravo pour la restauration

I am amazed at how easy the screws came out. I have bought used black powder guns that were harder to get apart. Overall, it looks to be in decent shape inside of a find. This was an enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing.

I would soak it in “Knocker Loose” for a month are two! Never rush removing rust and such; allow time for breaking down rust and other impurities! A nice find!

I don't know that I would have beat the snot out of it with a framing hammer, but I probably wouldn't have gotten it apart as quickly. You can't argue with results, and you got plenty. Fun to watch, and great job.

I know you found it,it's yours and you can do what you want to it but I found myself wincing at this rather brutal restoration. Electrolysis is effective, cheap and very easy to do. I would follow it up by soaking in diesel or similar for a few days. Routine stuff for metal detecting and magnet fishing finds. Great find by the way!

That is actually a Griswold & Gunnison reproduction- the brass frame combined with the octagon-to-round barrel is the giveaway. It was the Confederacy's version of a reverse-engineered Colt Navy. Pretty neat find in a river- it's awesome to see one put back into some "usable" condition. Great work!

Absolutely amazing! I fully expected the minute of this excellent video to show you loading and shooting the piece.😁 I love your "wooden mallet"😊

Well at least you got it done. Your disassembly and reassembly stressed me out but we all do it different. Cool find

Nice restoration even though methods are brute, you still got a talent bro

Parabéns! Ótimo trabalho.

Finally we can prove Andy's innocence and get him released from Shawshank!

Une merveilleuse travail, tu l'as donné une nouvelle vie

Use a chunk of leather if your going to hold it in the vice. Helps with less damage.

Restoration of the revolver with the use of the most basic and simple tools. Very nice

Um trabalho espetacular, parabéns

Someone asked me “how does he know it’s a Navy pistol?” And I said “he found it in the water didn’t he?”

Linda arma e impressionante o quanto tempo ela resistiu debaixo d'água.

Que boulot, quel ravissement, je comprend mieux ce que tu me disait, ya toujours un trésor dans les récupérations ! Amitiés du breton !

Such a beautiful weapon, I'm so glad you could restore it 👌🏻

I'm a paddy, bang on with the Irish music there,

Très belle rénovation j'adore 🔥

Nice piece of history you have there! Great work! So cool to bring something like that back to life!

Mais um excelente trabalho!!!

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen anybody do.

Enjoyed the background music.

Far away in a small village in Mexico lives a retired sailor from Ireland. One day a group of bandits goes into town and starts makin a ruckus . The old sailor minds his business as best as he can to not get killed but he has sympathy for everyone being oppressed by the bandits. One day the sailor did what he does best and that was go fishin , well on this particular day he didn’t catch no fish but an old 1851 navy wheel gun . He marveled at the dirty old thing and felt inspired, he knew just what to do . So he wastes no time in cleaning the gobs of dirt and muck from the revolver as he works under the dim lantern light . As morning came he soaked the metal pieces he took apart in a bucket of vinegar to remove the rust , tired but determined he quickly and quietly heads to town and spends what little money he has on some metal parts and a neat little diagram the shop keep let him have when asked about . The man takes the long way home so as not to be noticed and in his quiet home where no one goes the old sailor continues his labor . He scrubs the rest of the filth and bile right off the ole work horse returning her to some semblance of its former glory. With the parts from town , some more oil in his lantern for the dark house in which he dwelled , and that handy little diagram the shop keep gave him the old sailor went back to work . He thought of his life back in Ireland and what could have been but remembered why he left and also why he stayed ( in Mexico) , and as he did so he reassembled the old parts now shining with new life , he starred at the diagram and at the parts and back again until eventually burning the image into his mind but until then he continued to reference it putting the grips back on and then the cylinder followed by the barrel and every thing else . He finally had a newly working gun . He went over to a drawer and opened it in that was an old hickory box , he dug it out of the drawer and sat the gun down next to it . He slowly flicked the latch on it upwards as it made a hissing sound , he paused a moment and then lifted the lid of the box . Inside there were many things , trinkets of a time lost long ago but what was important here was the five or six paper cartridges and six or seven or so percussion caps inside . He was given these long ago by someone he’d rather not think about “hold on to these for me until I need them” he remembered someone say . Out loud he said to himself “sorry but I guess I’m the one that need em now” . He loaded the gun and headed out of his shack he called a home looked towards the direction of town but not before grabbing the biggest reddest apple off the tree in his yard taking a bite and putting his newly assembled pistol in between his belt and under his jacket. The sailor walked to town admiring the now sunset beside him as he marveled at the time gone buy to craft his weapon . When the sailor got to town he saw a bandit harassing a beautiful woman , he interrupted the thugs awful flirting with the question “where’s your boss” to which the thug replied “who are you and why do you want to know ?” The sailor stopped and paused before saying “I’m nobody and I’ve got something to give him” then the bandit said “oh” and pointed to the saloon where it was loud and rowdy but the people inside had a tense look to their face , as he stepped inside it was blatantly obvious who ran the show , there was a big man with a big mustache and two woman around each arm with a glass of bourbon in one hand a hand full of cards in the next he was loud and enjoying himself as he played poker with the other outlaws . The sailor walked right up to the bandits chief and loudly asked “you in charge of these thugs ?” To his surprise instead of the usual violent outburst everyone in the room was expecting he simply answered with “Yea ! What’s it to you ?” And the sailor said loudly and sternly “I want you and all your thugs out of this town today” to which the bandit chief said “YOU DO !And what’s gonna happen if we don’t ?” He said gruffly . “You’ll be good as dead and cold as stone that’s for sure” said the sailor . And then the bandit rose from his chair slowly and said to him “Oh yea well I’d like to see you stop me from stayin !” His words were heavy and he stood at least a head y’all over everyone else , across from the table the bandit chief stared daggers into the sailor but not to the bandits desired affect , he leant down putting both fists on the table and said right to the sailors face “well ?” And with cold eyes the sailor said “i warned you” and in a flash of fury the bandit stood strait up and grabbed a large Bowie knife from his hip his eyes red with anger for the man before him wore down his patience completely and ruined his good time , as he started to lean forward in the attempt to stab the sailor he himself drew the pistol with lightning quick speed and blasted a whole in the center of the bandits chest knocking him backwards, his enormous weight crashing into the wall behind him . Every single person in that saloon and a few outside as well was in stunned silence as they saw what happens before them the minute the sailor crossed the saloons threshold . “Anybody else want some ?” Said the sailor another bandit this one of normal size tried grabbing the dropped knife before receiving some hot lead to the brain and then the other bandit adjacent to him twitched a little too quickly and bought a box in the ground. The sailor turns around , hands at the read “if y’all don’t want some too you’d best get out of town and never come back , the two out laws shook their heads yes and ran out side as the sailor walked outside he saw a confused and angry bandit the same as the one before with the woman loom at him , the sailor cocked the gun one last time and the man across from him suddenly grew calmer before huffing and walking off towards his horse never to be seen again . After that day the town got a lot quieter and the old sailor never had to pay for anything again when he went to town , not because the people feared him but because they were grateful . And that was the story of how a little town got their first sheriff.

Bien joué mon ami ! Très jolie travail c'est tellement agréable à regarder et gratifiant de voir le résultat final 👍

Bravo, thanks for sharing a piece of American history.

All them "broken pieces" is probably what earned this one a home at the bottom of the river. Inoperable & no armourer around. Great work!

I've been trying to find this, nice piece of art and restoration

Más que restauración fue limpieza 😅 Re caseras las herramientas, me encanta! felicitaciones!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Magnífico ejemplar de Colt 🤩

One of the best video's on youtube i've seen at the moment, i am very sorry for the broken barrel though. Anyway, keep it up! This is amazing!

I got a 1851 Colt Navy out of a lake about 8 years ago, I still have it she's a beauty.

Lucky lucky you. She's a beauty. I'm actually hoping to order this model as my first gun tomorrow. Hope it looks as pretty in person as in pictures and video. Oh, and great job!

That would be such a sweet find.

The finds, the tressure guns. I'm blown away.

Bravo ! La restauration est superbe, vous avez bien travailler.

I wish that gun could speak!! What an amazing find!

Sympa les abonnés du monde entier. Restauration quelque peu...brutale par moment mais good job ! Belle pièce de collection 👏👌

Falymas made it detailed, other restorers do an excellent job, yours is good, it just needed more polishing on the barrel and drum

Always the hammer with these people. Soak it in a gallon of diesel fuel for a week next time.

Not a restoration, this is called conservation, that gun is way past being able to restore, but a worthwhile effort.

Whoever dumped it did you a favour. the voltage potential gave it a nice look.

Experience has taught me that weapons tossed in deep bodies of water usually have bodies on them. Congrats you found Billy the Kid robbery revolver.

I have that exact model. I love it. You did a fantastic job restoring it.

У таких револьверов пули были из мягкого свинца без латунной оболочки, и это значит что даже с поврежденным коррозией стволом можно успешно выстрелить!))

Как человек занимающийся реставрацией не видел никаких ошибок, не заслуженно большое количество дизлайков. Можно было всё сделать аккуратнее, но данный проект не требователен к этому. Респект, что не стал менять деверянную ручку!

Отличная работа мастера по восстановлению 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏

Parabéns meu amigo ficou top demais 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Saudações do Brasil.

Nice job on an American classic. I would love to find something like this to restore.

stupidly I have always been fascinated by modern weapons, then seeing films like this I had to change my mind, the resistance of certain materials to the wear and tear of time, atmospheric agents and water erosion, the ingenuity of those who assembled them, without modern machinery , put me in front of my ignorance and of how much man can be capable of creating, even if it were a small screw, a pin or a piece of wood or horn worked and finished so as to be appreciated by all. I find it stupid that everyone has made the far west a competition of shooters to kill for different reasons, today I think it is more correct to remember the far west for the great quality of the handcrafted product of people who worked with manual tools and created objects like the restored one. ..crafts, agriculture and breeding, country music and dancing in front of a fire and lots of whiskey ... I firmly believe this is the heart and true life of America.

Nie wierzę żeby w takim stanie w wodzie rewolwer pistolet tyle lat był to tak specjalnie do filmu zrobione ale pięknie jest odrestaurowany za to pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍👍

При сборке оружия, издаются характерные звуки. Они греют душу, радуют сердце. Музыка....💖❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Вообще просто чума!!!браво!!!

Bravo le résultat est juste magnifique 👏👏

Sono sorpreso dall'ottima condizione della pistola dopo essere stata sott'acqua per cosi' tanto tempo! Awesome video :)

Nice result. A bit brutal a times... Good job in the end.

Moi à chaque fois je me régale de vos restauration, continuez les gars, je suis fan 💪

Mololets did everything perfectly! Gave a second life! 🤝🏽

The Colt 45 would love that kind of piece on my shelf .

Я представляю сколько на этом револьвере жмуров.

Pretty sweet.. but i would have acrapped the barrel and cylinder in a box somewhere and gotten a new barrel and cylinder. Everything else was salvagable but that barrel and cylinder for the cartridges is gone

Its a repop .still a nice item..see i build these ..for years..85- present

I just started this video & want to say, What a BEAUTIFUL & VALUABLE FIREARM! I AM HOPING THAT YOU TAKE THE PAINSTAKING TIME TO PROPERLY RESTORE IT! Such a valuable pistol in not abandoned unless there is criminal means such as assault, shooting, death, or if it was stolen. Wow, I really hope that you have wood or rubber separating the pistol from the vice? Carving with a knife, pounding with the wooden handle isn't as bad but, prying with a metal screwdriver instead of a softer metal like a brass punch. After all, wouldn't you want it to be worth as much as possible & look it's best? That pistol is still in very good shape once the barnacles are removed depending upon the bore & rifle lands...

Hard to imagine in that condition it was in the water very long...

I bought a kit from Sears of this gun in the 70s. It was fun.

L'état du truc est impressionnant! On penserait pas qu'il a passé 150 ans dans la flotte (même avant restauration l'état est surprenant). J'aurais dit bien joué blondin mais ça marche pô :)

Magnet fishing Very good like

Génial ton travail bravo

About 20 years ago I gave my dad an 1849 Colt .36 Navy revolver for his birthday

Nice to see an expert in firearms restoration at work. All the right tools and all....

Superbe restauration.

Definitivamente ese es un revólver Colt Dragoon de 1849!.

Great find and good job!

a copy should have stuck it in very warm oil then took it apart ,stuck in deruster and cleaning,then oiled it went about it the hard way ,nice wall hanger

Je viens de découvrir votre chaîne et m'y abonner. Quelle belle trouvaille et quel beau sauvetage. Un travail de fou. Je sens que je vais me remettre à pécher dans les canaux d'agde ! Je n'ai jamais rien trouvé de si beau. Bravo pour ce travail et ce partage. Bonne continuation dans cette voie.

Wish I could restore things like you are doing. Whenever I try to restore something it becomes far worse, instead of restoring, I’m destroying. 😂

Salut Quentin ! Quel boulot... On voit que c'est vraiment une passion pour toi ! Magnifique travail ! 👍

Very expensive weapon i just saw videos of these nice find even for a wall hanger

Красавчик хоть и коррозия поела, и ведь служил же когда то кому то.

Muito bom parabéns, 👍👍

Coucou, ouaw bravo pour la restauration, il est magnifique 🤩

My favorite gun... And ya, here's your English comment y'all looking for!

Super boulot les gars 👏👏👏

Franchement super. Moi je l’aurais démonté je crois pas que je serais arrivé à le remonter. Bravo pourrais-t’il fonctionner après rénovation? En tous cas merci beaucoup pour le partage

Génial la trouvaille et la restauration

Give the 10w a minute to soak in maybe soak it over night in anti rust solution makes things go so much easy. But all and all out standing restoration

Ah yes, the best firearm in the whole world

Caramba essa arma lá na loja do trato feito vale uma boa grana.colecionadores Americanos pagariam uma fortuna por ela.

My dad and uncle were out in the desert decades ago, my uncle just happened to look down while standing on some large rocks, and found an old revolver that must have been there for a hundred years or more. A gun shop here in town offered a very generous amount for it.

You're the best at finding murder weapons

WoW!!! Gun repaired !!! Brilliant !!!

Super satisfaction pour vous et aussi pour nous les abonnés de voir le travail que vous faites pour redonner vie à tous ces objets ,j 'ai hâte de voir les prochaines vidéos pour savoir si ces armes sont dans une vitrine

La morale de cette vidéo : il n'y a rien qu'on ne puisse dégripper avec du WD-40 !

Awesome restoration 👌

Bravo belle remise en état. Jolie pièce de collection

J'aime beaucoup, Excellent!

Se o Tiringa ver vai falar pronto, tá ai a Garrucha de vovô

I’m amazed that you still get parts through the post for a revolver made in 1851 only in the USA.

wowww superbe job de refresh il est vraiment magnifique belle trouvaille.
