Restoration of ppsh 41 that participated part in the WW II 

I could be wrong, but I think he sprayed it with a special coating to prevent rust.

@@jwppowers That rust preventing "special coating" is spray paint. Almost 100 percent of these gun restorations are horror to watch.

@@luikausvuoon1939 what does it matter not like this gun is some rare specialty thing they got millions of these things just sitting in warehouses in East Europe and Asia lol

@@0326Vet And how that make any difference in quality of restoration?

@@luikausvuoon1939 the gun had deep dimples and craters he'd have to sand the material down way beyond the safe limit for that gun's functionality for him to get them out, simply filling it in and coating it saved material and made the gun look good while keeping it functional, if he wanted a wall piece there is plenty of debilitated and cheap papashaws out there

He earns freedom, comrade. For the work that he did for the motherland

even the Nazis loved the very gun that took so many of them out. Ive seen numerous WW2 photos of the Wehrmacht and SS with this gun. I guess the USSR makes gret weapons eg AK47 lol.

yes there was a time. thanks.

yea or like fifteen years ago i could have bought a mauser red nine with shoulder stock at turners for under 200$.. .damm

@@miguelcastaneda7236 Remember the $79 Mosin Nagants at Big 5 sporting goods? Look how far we have fallen because of gun control....

@@wwiirestorer what filler did you use?🙃 looks like new!!

In Russia now it is not possible to find parts to soviet ww2 guns

You wouldn't be able to blue it after he used the filler to smooth over the pitted areas. Bluing is nothing more than converting active rust (ferric oxide) into in-active rust (ferro-ferric oxide), through the use of high energy (steam, boiling water, etc.), then using a very, very, very fine metal bristle wheel (a carding wheel, NOT a wire wheel..You should be able to touch your hand to it while it runs, and not have to take a trip to the ER), to remove the mung that is left behind in the boiling process. In fact, using degreased steel wool is an acceptable, low cost method of carding. Repeat the process of boiling/steaming (depending on what you are doing) & carding about 7, 8, 9 times, and you can achieve a very respectable blued finish/repair. However, I am empathetic to your gripe. It saddens me to see a wire wheel (one which removes metal) being used on any firearm.

@@rodgersmith1573 oh right Didn't think about that one. In that case he should've welded the pits and then grinded it smooth i suppose

@@JustaGuy1250 That would be a better option if deciding to blue, sure. However, the amount of pitting that was present on the barrel shroud, receiver, bolt carrier, barrel, and trigger guard, would've made it damn near impossible to make it 'correct' again. For example when the Russians would've been manufacturing the Shpagin, the barrel shroud would have been stamped out from a flat sheet of metal. They would have then bent that sheet of metal into a square tube, and welded, thus a perfectly square part with flat surfaces where they needed to be flat. By adding weld (probably TIG would be best since it's so thin), then attempting to grind it smooth, you are inevitably going to be inconsistent; Some areas will be ground deeper, some will be left raised, and there will be grind marks present. The best solution in *my mind*, would be to attempt welding it, then locking it into a mill vise and finding zero, then mill it flat. However, that even comes with the issue of requiring soft jaws for certain parts, which then makes the project rather cost prohibitive. All in all, I believe what he could've done to make it *somewhat* more decent, is use Cerakote rather than a rattle can found at the hardware store. It obviously still would not be original, but it would allow him to still employ the method of filling in the pits which he chose to do, and have a baked-on 'gun paint' sort of finish, that is very thin, and looks far better. No matter what, the gun is only new *ONCE* in its life. If it were legal to re-activate it into a usable machinegun, then all the effort to return it to its former glory would be time WELL spent. But, for the purposes of being a desk ornament? It's good enough. It brought it back from rotting into nothingness. For now.

Thanks, we will work on these))

@@wwiirestorer shoot the gun

thanks

Here's a question or two. Will it still fire if you put a real barrel in it? If so, is the receiver registered as a machine gun? I'm not exactly familiar with how a PPsh operates and whats required to make it considered disabled. Not trying to bust any balls, just making sure people don't get in trouble.

thank you friend

alas, it will not work out of it to shoot metal is very old

)))

We used to be a country.

Yeah, I had a 1943 Colt 1911 with matching numbers that I'm still kicking myself over. Sold it in the 1990's.

English moment

@@localgunguy8918 ???

it was crap

It's demilled per FFA requirements

I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any suggestions?

@@wwiirestorer Well if I were you, because I’m such a ww2 geek who loves all things to do with ww2, I’d probably keep it as it’s an original, and always something I love. But if you’re not that into ww2 or do think of selling it for money I’d love to buy it. What I would give to get an authentic one.

@@igoravonich2013 Would you be interested in 1927A Thompson parts kit?

@@ronbjur5309 possibly 🤔

Beautiful job.

Idk its funny

Was you watching something else that was crap

no, it is dug out of the ground and shooting from it is very dangerous

Mee to hehehe...

No barrel.

Oh no you wont

это верно. Но весь в ямах и черный тоже никак не смотрится. Если только его не отполировать до зеркала как антураж ..

Ну как сказать конкретно по видео этот вполне бодрый, одиночными "лупить" можно, понятно что нарезы в стволе никакие, и риск самопроизвольного срыва с затвора велик, вообще они на удивление очень "живучие в земле"

Вот кстати копанина вполне пригодная оказалась для стрельбы если интересно тайм код с 10:00ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FhwMkoWH2hU.html

took first black matte. then painted black glossy

@@wwiirestorer do you have a brand ? Do you know where I can buy the same as yours it’s for my MP40

In the condition this is in maybe. The stress bearing parts would be what you need to worry about breaking or becoming damaged

Well the bareel was demiled and plus if he isn't a type 7 ffl with a class 2 sot, he is "making a new machine gun" under the definition of the ATF.

Possibly. It’s in great condition for being close to 80 years old. The only thing I’m worried about it the durability of the metal as rust and grime destroys the condition of steel and could result in the gun breaking down on you

@@reidroberts121 I do agree,but ain't you just a bit curious?

@@caintfindme4735 yeah I’m very curious too. I’m trying to get one myself

dummy rounds.. you can see holes in them when he loads the magazine

How would you repair the pitting?

@@RUSTYCHEVYTRUCK I wouldn't, I would blue over it and leave the 80 years of history intact

как?

@@wwiirestorer чел отреставрировал до боевого состояния. У нас это уже 222я статья. Только если ствол заварен и просверлен, затвор стерт болгарской. Плюс ещё ствол к кожуху приварен. Только после этого не тронут. Да и то лучше на экспертизу сдать чтоб в будущем проблем небыло.

Well I mean, he has every right to make one,l the government can try and takee that away unless they really want to see what happens.

If the receiver hasn’t been demilled it is an illegal machine gun and can never be registered either so it could be transferred To make a NFA item requires a class II FFL and even then a full auto can not be registered if it never had been

@@deadhorse1391 ok nobody cares

@@lilrobi45xxx42 get caught with it you will care

@@deadhorse1391 ok fudd

How would you go about replacing it?

@@igoravonich2013 maybe fabricating another one? Possibly a reproduction? I know that some companies make the ppsh in the states. I’m not sure if they’re still making reproductions.

@@TheFoxEssence ahh ok. I’d love to buy this one. 😎

@@igoravonich2013 Canadian hun laws are stupid restricted. I’d love to fire one full auto. But that’s unlikely to ever happen unless I go down to the states. I don’t know which states allow full auto firearms? But it would be worth it if I’m ever down there.

@@TheFoxEssence sadly I’m living in New Zealand. 😭

It's actually quite possible that the gun still fires. The PPSH has the same level of ruggedness and reliability as the AK-47. So, if he decided to use it to defend his home, he could do that easily. Just saying. Peace out!!!

@@jwppowers yeah and plus the ppsh doesn’t have many parts that take pressure

@@jwppowers yep

Как же стрелять с просверленными патронами и стволом ? .

смотри до конца. Он таки вставил ствол. Не чищенный ..
