There are a couple good reasons why he might do it. 1) it may actually be dangerous to shoot it if its corroded badly. 2) in his country it ma be illegal to possess a functioning firearm.
@@SUPREME-zp5py you don’t have to “decommission” it. It becomes a paperweight after that. If I had one, I wouldn’t shoot it, but I also wouldn’t destroy it.
Это скажи спасибо что он капли сварки в каморы барабана не наварил...По законам РФ это основная часть, которая при перестановке в другой револьвер позволит выстрелить. Может все таки повезло и он с другой страны...
Perfect example of how NOT to restore a firearm. Poor rust removal, using all the wrong tools, using a torch? For the love of god please don’t ever touch another firearm until you learn how to properly preserve and restore firearms. I cringed during the entire video.
The thing that crossed my mind was that, considering there are idiots out there who would try to fire it anyway or just not notice that it was done, it's just as dangerous, if not more so
@@danielhoover8791 In my opinion then everybody’s got museums he should’ve turned it into a museum and let them keep it has a mute museum peace without ruining it it would’ve kept the value.
Everybody is complaining about the fact that a screw was drilled into the barrel and that the barrel was plugged. Cry no more!!! do realize that the skilled man working on the gun is restoring it. Has it ever crossed your minds that it is possible to unplug the barrel and to seal off the two little holes on the sides and to make the barrel usable again? Here is a skilled man working who can easily reverse what he did to the Barrel in order to plug it he knows what he is doing!!! so it is not impossible for he to Simply remove the screw Bolt from the barrel and simply solder metal back into the two little holes and to make the barrel usable again. 💪👍😃 Besides it is important he plugs the barrel because according to his local laws the firearm needs to be unable to fire in order to make it legal to collect👍 so please stop crying😢 over a little bolt that's put on a barrel😁... by the way the man did an awesome job at restoring the weapon.👏
Потрясающий аппарат в сохране. Один из ранних, дореволюционных с "солдатским" курком(без шептала самовзвода). Также видим полукруглую мушку до модернизации 1930 года. Дверца барабана с выемкой под выступ на рамке.Накладки рукояти можно достать на аукционах, причем как раз таки ранние с маленькой сеткой.Будет более гармонично. Мое почтение. Еще бы кобуру бы ту, которая с ним вместе была восстановить бы....;) Кожу размочить можно и новый клапан сделать.
What have I learned about the history of Canada? Here's what. Canada didn't own much of the U.S. territory like the way Mexico did, starting in the 15th century. This also has to deal with just how common-most gun ownership was in Canada, compared to what it was in Mexico; even during the Napoleonic Wars. 🇨🇦 🤔 😳
as soon as i saw the drill going through the barrel i knew it was a video on the destruction of a gun quit watching at that moment if you can not own the gun then dont destroy it give it to some one who can and enjoy restoring it
I don't know about other places but where I live by drilling the barrel you don't deactivate the weapon, you have to send it to the police and they take care of everything, giving you a document for the weapon at the end, so it makes no sense drilling the barrel, the police make a mess with the weapon, so having a channel dedicated to it you could get the license and have them without any problem arguing their historical value
People are mad that this guy put a screw in the barrel, but it’s an *antique* it’s probably corroded and unsafe to shoot, or it’s illegal to posses a functional one in his country.
This is a "110yo gun" If you live in a country, region, or municipality who fears you owning a gun that was made before the Titanic sank, you have to seriously question the mentality of your officials. I mean, seriously, are they're scared you might start robbing stagecoaches?!!!!
Actually this model of gun the Nagant M1895 was produced still during WWII and still in limited use in 2022. Was originally made in Belgium but Tsar bought rights and moved production to Tula in Russia in 1898. Was also produced in Poland. Over 2,000,000 produced. Would have to look at markings and serial # to determine true age except the Belgium production which would be over 126 years old and worth a few more euros. And yes you could rob a stagecoach but more likely a liquor store. Can get them for under $200 by mail in US with a C&R. Ammunition is difficult to find in the US but plentiful in former Russia client countries. The ammo is very unique
@@mosin_boi Yeah one of MANY bad ideas used in the "restoration"! A brass wire wheel? Really? Well at least his bluing process wasn't as bad as I've seen! Just kidding, that cold blue process is not the way to go.
Долго машинка лежала - коррозия уже сильно заметна. А машинка-то непростая - царского выпуска (ИТОЗ), солдатского образца (одинарного действия). Надеюсь, шпенек под дверцей барабана сохранили. Рукоятку (по фен-шую) сюда надо с частой насечкой, иначе не комильфо. И боевую пружину не надо было воронить. ))
That gun , is in great shape for a Gun that was underground, I know I have one. Looks Like one that was under a floor board. maybe, That gun will clean up nice. I,m writing this at the start of your Video.
Ruined, stop doing this, let professionals do it. Why "restore" it, if you make it inoperable and it's not going into a museum. Congrats on turning it into a worthless paper weight.
As soon as the screw went in the barrel I was done. Unfortunately I left it running typing this comment so I noticed him going at it with the wire brush ...
Was für restaurieren? Innerlich alles noch voll mit rost, die Trommel dreht sich kaum und der Abzug ist viel zu langsam mal ganz von abgesehen das das rohr durch den Druck jetzt warscheinlich total verzogen ist
If you wanted to deactivate that firearm you really should’ve blocked the cylinder because that gun could still fire a bullet but now it’s just a hand grenade
Du travail, ça ? Un massacre, plutôt ! Il y avait moyen de sauver ce Nagant 1895 (et pas 1912, on ne mélange pas le millésime et la date de fabrication), mais ce type l'a bousillé. Vu la rareté des Nagant de la période impériale, il y a vraiment de quoi pleurer... Et une petite remarque finale, histoire de confirmer que le gus ne connaît rien aux armes : les plaquettes de revolver militaire, c'est quasiment toujours en noyer, et certainement pas en chêne !
To the people thinking it’s a good idea to fire this… absolutely not… the metal is very weak and he is making it even weaker with all that grinding… so unless you want shrapnel in your hands and face… don’t do it…
Not sure what country this is being done but it's not the US. Drilling a hole through the barrel and grinding down the firing pin made all the work restoring this antique a total waste of time. This 'gun' has be destroyed and turned into nothing more than a worthless paprtweight.. hope this man refuses any future guns and has them sent to the US to be done by someone that appreciates the real value of a valuable antique.
This is a classic example of how not to restore a firearm, especially using a torch?! And a weapon in this condition would not have undergone such a transformation after only two hours of electrolysis.
Don't feel so bad it's okay it's easy for skilled man like the gentleman working on the gun to easily remove the bolt and unplug the barrel. Don't feel so bad it is reversible. 💪👍🙏😇🙂
It's most likely a legality thing, I'm sure you cannot own a potentially active firearm where he is, or without a license. It's probably the same everywhere.
Me too. Sad when guns are destroyed but he may live in a disarmed country and may be required by law to render them inoperable in order to restore and collect them
@@Dutch.W that is required in alot of European countries. Collecting operating handguns most likely would require a special permit and lots of fees in alot of these countries.
A FINE TUTORIAL AS OF WHAT NOT TO DO WITH AN ANTIQUE FIRE ARM. Did you serve your apprenticeship as a butcher? What you did there is nowt short of sacrilege .
@stevedoggart2805 YOU FEEL SO STRONGLY AND UPSET ABOUT AN OLD RUSTY ANTIQUE FIRE ARM...You even call the man restoring the gun a "Butcher"...BUT YET YOU SAY NOTHING ABOUT WOMEN DESTROYING AND MARKING THEIR SKIN WITH DISGUSTING ABHORRENT TATTOOS...THE PRACTICE ALSO INCLUDES YOUNGER GIRLS FOLLOWING THE SO CALLED "IN" CROWD. MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO ATTITUDE. IF YOU FEEL SO MOVED AND UPSET OVER AN OLD GUN...YOU MUST BE FEELING TOTALLY OUTRAGED BY THESE WOMEN "BUTCHERING" THEMSELVES TO MAKE POINTLESS PERSONAL STATEMENTS!!!
Just like I thought the disgusting RU-vid moderators removed my comment why do you call the man restoring that piece of metal a butcher? So you are so troubled over a piece of metal but it does not trouble you that all these women and young girls are destroying their skin with ink and getting all these disgusting tattoos? To you it's a sacrilege to plug up a piece of metal to me it's a sacrilege for women to defile their own bodies that is a sacrilege to me and to all the men I know
I have remembered why I stopped watching this channel, Every weapon, even those which are obsolete and obviously not safe to attempt to fire are butchered in this way! Makes my heart weep!!
STOP WHINGING AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER THEN ! SHOW PEOPLE THEN, IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF IT PROOVE IT GET ON AND DO IT ! COME ON THEN CHOP CHOP IM WAITING !
It's very clever. Just because a weapon is old doesn't mean it's useless. There was a time when firearms were more than just money spent on defense. In time many old firearms would be passed down from father to son to grandson. It's a passing on of one's responsibility to be man of house: the guardian protector of the family. Of this passing of responsibility, it was crucial to keep one's weapon in good working order. There was a code of honor then amongst men. Not so much now as we live in an age of weak minds and not mature men.
There is no change in rust color between the "holster part" and the "open" part. All of the tolerances on the gun parts are more than ok. Miraculously, very few rust bites, it look almost new after the restoration. Funny how no one asks about "compound X" he is using to restore the gun parts.
So you're saying you can't see any of the deep pitting and poor surfaces still evident after the "restoration"? While not the worst attempt at cleaning off rust and putting back together style of "restoration" I've seen on RU-vid, I would hardly call it looking even closely to "new", okay I'm comparing his finished results to one that's been in my collection for a number of years, that has some holster ware and not left out in the rain to rot! I would still call it a rusted, pitted, relic AFTER he finished.
The Model 1895 Nagant, seven shot, gas-seal revolvers were designed by the Nagant Brothers of Belgium with the design licensed to the Imperial Russian government and made in the millions. Not very rare here in the US, until recently they sold for around $250 or less. I own several examples, one made in 1917, one in 1927 and one in 1942. I remember paying around $50 each about 10 years ago and they came with holster, cleaning rod, lanyard and a screw driver/tool. Ammo has always been difficult to find here, but I was able to purchase 30 or 40 boxes of imported rounds at the time. Fun guns to shoot and always gets attention at the range even though they're not know for being very accurate.
@@luxbeci2 No just not a RARE gun, at least not in the United States. I know of one gun shop that still has between 90 and 100 of them still in the crates they were shipped from Russia in, including holster, cleaning rod and lanyard and while the prices have risen to around $200 US, they were only $80 US when I purchased the 5 in my collection. And all of them with perfect bluing and all markings intact.
Yes a model 1895, seven shot, gas-seal revolver designed by the Nagant Brothers in Belgium. The Imperial Russian government licensed the design and made them in the millions.
I'm not sure if it's a Nagant I have the same pistol and it's not a Nagant, mine is in very good shape and from what I see it's worth about $80 to maybe $100....from what I'm seeing in comments this resto was done very poorly I'm not a gun expert so have no idea but either way he put in more work than the firearm will ever be worth.i forget what mine is but not a Nagant like I was told...but mine is in nice shape so will hang on to it because it is over 100 years old and works properly...that says something....
It is a Nagant model 1895, seven shot, gas seal revolver. Too bad that even after "restoration" it's so pitted so that the markings can't be read! I own several and so many were made and later imported in to the US that until recently, they were still selling for less than $250 with holster, cleaning rod, lanyard and in some cases, screw driver/tool. While ammo has been difficult to find more recently, I have about 30 boxes of imported rounds in my gun safe. Fun guns to shoot and always brings comments at the range from other shooters! Oh and someone made replacement cylinders in .32 ACP back when the ammo was impossible to find! I have one and after installing and checking the timing, it shot well but accuracy was reduced.
The thing about the trolls grumbling how you destroyed it. Is they fail to realize the gun barrels integrity was already distributed by the internal rest. Any attempt to fire that weapon, would have resulted in the barrel exploding! Even if you could have cleaned it, a bullet would wable inside the barrel and jamb because the internal dimensions would be way off for safety.
No actually, the nagamt revolver is a low pressure firearm, similar to an old blackpowder gun. The bullet wouldnt get jammed in the barrel either, they only do that if the powder charge is too low or if the barrel is too small. With the exception of the mechanical parts not working (Im sure they would) then it shouldnt have any issue firing, sketchy maybe, but that is one of the few firearms I would chance shooting.
It looked perfectly capable of firing a bullet as the integrity of the metal didn’t look too compromised after restoring. Btw calling people trolls just because they don’t think the same as you is showing a lack of intelligence on your part.
@@stevenwebb1271 It may have "looked" perfectly capable of firing. I've read too many reports of guns not properly clean and taken care of that "looked" capable of firing. Those who tried it either wind up dead or maimed for life. And accusing someone of ruining a potential threat to life and limb is a lack of intelligence, I always call "grumblers", trolls because traditional trolls are not very bright either. It's easy to criticize someone for doing the right thing. A weapon that has been in the ground for 110 years, severely rusted is seriously compromised. Ask any forensic investigator/scientist, they will tell you the same thing. I harbor no ill will towards you, and may you live long and prosper.
@@kenkisty5273 It wasn't their restoration or lack of rust they took offence to. It was drilling the hole in, and plugging of the barrel. Yes it's most likely highly unsafe to fire, but some people still don't like the fact that they damaged it that way. It's just an American sensibility issue. We really love our guns.
Good job on the tools you have! Just my opinion, the Ole' Nagant pistol was just begging for "Glas Bead Blasting". But, your pistol turned out to be a nice wall hanger. Thanks for the video.
Im restoring a 1914 British 303 rifle an my stuff isnt coming apart near as easily as this did ,been working 3 weeks just to get the parts to move an start working like original
