Here is our latest restoration of a Ruger .357 magnum FBI commemorative model. It was involved in a house fire along with alot of other firearms. So this is a fire damaged firearm that was subjected to intense heat. Believe me when I say that test firing was a little scary but fun as well. Hope you enjoy the video and consider SUBSCRIBING for more restorations.

I might be picking up a 29-2 that went through a house fire, it’s $150 so I’m guessing the seller either knows it’s toast or just can’t get rid of it because it’s ugly but salvageable. And that’s why I’m here haha

The corrosion-resistant properties of some types of stainless steel is affected by exposure to high heat. This would be expected on a stainless firearm that was burned in a hot fire and then left exposed to the elements. On another note, Ruger firearms are my absolute favorites. I have a Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum with a 6" barrel. It is without doubt my favorite pistol that I own.

@jcopp2031 8 месяцев назад

@@TheKinzlerBros Thanks for verifying what I thought the gun was. It looked the same as mine overall, especially in the closeups and the breakdown. The main difference is that mine has the 4" barrel and is blued. I bought it in the early 1970s when I was collecting past-due accounts for my employer. It's a great gun and fires as well today as it did when I first bought it. I watch a lot of your videos and have enjoyed them all. I know a lot about my "Security Six" and a few other guns, but am amazed at your in-depth knowledge about so many different guns, especially older foreign guns.

@rcreynolds6186 7 месяцев назад

Beautiful but man... I would scared that the metal got annealed during the fire. The fact you got that barrel off so easily tells me the metal expanded and then contracted at some point. You could look up the spec hardness ( Rockwell scale) of the barrel and frame from Ruger and then get some hardness files and do some tests on the barrel and frame to make sure they didn't lose their temper. I would not use this pistol unless you do that first. And then, I would probably only shoot .38 Special +P at most out of it. It's just too risky.

@bullgravy6906 5 месяцев назад

Not for a working firearm, but an acquaintance of mine just used solder to fill in pits of an old gun, smoothed it out, then did a black cerakote over the metal. Looks pretty good and was an easy process, the gun was beyond financially reasonable to restore so he just made it look nice for some office art.
