Restoring 1920 Remington .22 gallery gun, (with test firing)  

The third hand got me 😂😂

Believe it or not, when I was a child about 60 years ago, these superb little guns could be seen in use in fairs and amusement arcades - in England!!! I remember using them several times in a place called the Kursaal, in Southend--on-Sea. Great fun. Times change though, and the only guns (and knives) we see in Southend now are those carried by the 'new Londoners' who visit. Drug gangs, mainly. Great to see a blast from my past on here. Great job!

excellent work.. greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina

TBH..watching your restoration video is very satisfying...subscriber will be happy after seeing the restoration

I had one, a little earlier model. My Dad bought it for me when I was about 8. Had it for almost 60 years before giving it to my great nephew who lives on a farm. The perfect gun for him. All in all, a great gun.

I bet that will be a very happy customer!

It hurt alittle to see the original bluing go, that is a classic. You guys did a outstanding job. She's beautiful. Wish I had it. The owner is lucky to have it.

Try using fine (600 grit) sandpaper on blocks for the the pre blueing polish. Some people swear it produces finer results on new guns, but what I will say is it makes restoration a whole lot easier because you can't detect the pits or scratches that are too deep to remove. Mirror polishing also highlights inconsistencies in the flatness of a surface too, so I really would say give it a shot, especially if you do a military restoration.

Another one in the books guys. Great work.

This was wonderful! I got to shoot my grandpa’s Remington .22 pump recently , looked just like the one in the video except his has a full octagon barrel. My sister and her husband have it at their house in the country. I’m 68 now and that gun worked as smooth and easy as it did when I first fired it as a boy of 8. Just as accurate as when it was new. What a joy. Terrific video and beautiful work you do.

It’s crazy to think these were used at carnivals. Great work

Great video as usual. I love the firearm. Great old trusty accurate rifle it looks like. 👍

I own one of these. My great grandfathers. Turned out the firing pin was broken and needed some solder at feed ramp. Friend fixed her up for me. very happy. Minute of squirrel.

I have a 1911 . Mechanically restored , cosmetics show its age. Piece of ancient car tire for a butt pad. A gift from my wife's grandfather.

What a great job. I own a 1940 Remington single shot, they are so accurate.

A masterpiece gun in the hand of a great 👍 hands 🙌!

Another beautiful job love those guns well done

Spectacular restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had one of these left over from the carnival my uncle had back in the 50s. The bore was crap but it looked great after blueing and refinishing the walnut stocks.

LOVE Gallery Guns!!!!

Sweet. Love to have one of those.

I have a 12A that I bought at an estate sale. Great gun and in beautiful shape. The rifling is crisp and it's a real tack driver. It's date code is from 1931.

Always a pleasure watching. Looks perfect

My dad got one of these for me when I was a kid. Really nice guns.

Excellent! Best one yet.

What a great rifle. Such a short travel on the reload. A plinking dream

Rock star....crazy skill!

Very nice restoration. My Model 1906 Winchester is chambered in .22 Short only, another fun gun to shoot.

thanks for doing what you do and sharing your knowledge. it's a work of art!!

Thanks for a great restoration that rifle brings back so many memories six stars my friends

Good job 👏🏾

Excelente restauracion

Such a great work. It looks real good after renovation 👏👏

It's actually adorable. Another nice restoration!

Great to see a restoration of a classic. Well done

I have a Remington just like it. Shoots good - great squirrel gun

I always liked those 22 man a nice job like it

Look at it , cherish it, plink with it . A beauty❤

I inherited my Dad's Remington model 121, a very accurate reliable rifle. Basically the same gun.

My friends dad has one of these and it’s beautiful, the finish is all original and it’s nearly perfect condition besides a few dents in the stock and handgaurd. I would love to shoot one some time, it seems like a fun little rifle.

Looks so easy when you know what you are doing.

Another fine Job!!! BEAUTIFULL !!!

You guys do some amazing work!! So proud of you, two!!

I have one of these in my safe. It’s in rough shape and I’d love to have it restored

We called them Penny rifles. Because of Penny is the perfect tool to fit in the slot to disassemble the rifle. My grandfather called them that and he was born in 1916 for all these people that want to start trying to educate somebody.

I'm amazed at the rifling left in this rifle!

My father taught me to shoot with this rifle. My sister has it. I've bought, repaired/refinished three of them. Currently own a really nice Model 121, an even nicer development of the 12. BTW, the takedown screw has a dished slot, so a coin can be used. And it should be retained in the upper receiver.

Wow, great result and great video, thanks!

amazing job!

Very nice! I have a couple of Gallery .22's and I love to shoot them. One is a Rossi and the other is a Western Field. I really enjoy shooting a full tube of .22 shorts through them. They're as accurate as you need them to be.

Such a great little gun. My grandpa has one and uses it as a pest control tool on his ranch

That is a beutiful gun.inpressive job

Nice restoration, The Finish came up lovely.

I have one winchester like that perfect weapon

Fantastic clean up of that great .22. You have some serious skills and you obviously enjoy your work.

Wow, that went from looking good to looking great.

I'm finaly glad you can restore a fun that isn't insanely pitted. Amazing content, looking forward to new masterpieces.

Dude - at about the 12:50 mark, there were three hands in the shot. Are you secretly some kinda space alien or something? 😉😉😉 All those pins and springs and small parts and such.....you have tremendous patience. Well done.

Beautiful!

That was a great restore. I admire your work.

beautiful gun

Wonderful job on that Remington .22 . I have one just like it that , I have used since I could hold a rifle. Won a couple of turkey shoots with in when I was about 12 just a wonderful shooting rifle & it’s very accurate.

Tip “ forest boar foam “ amazing stuff

Brings back memories of Idelwild Park in SW PA. Another great restoration Brandon.

I was hoping you'd leave the polished parts all shiney. Nice restore.

Hi guys , Love your work , another fine restoration and better than average marksmanship AGAIN , love the smell of gun oil, once smelt , never forgotten ! Another great vlog .

Jesus...good skills. Amazing end product

Absolutely Beautiful Work !

Amazing job! Salute!

Nice! Did you hit any ducks! Theses were a carnival staple 50 70 years ago! They are great small game rifles! Really good job! It made me want to cry!

Love watching. People have friends you guys. Wonderful work very interesting sometimes when they are hard to disassemble

I remember shooting one of these at my church carnival back in the 50’s when I was 8 or 9 yrs old. I believe it fired shorts or cab caps.

Thank you for making this video. This is one of my all time favorite .22 models, and I do hope to procure one someday!

Very Nice job.....always a pleasure to see you on gunsmith....tanks

Outro vídeo mais do que excelente!! ☺️👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I got one of those it's a 1919 still shoots great

Sorted, I can almost smell the gun oil. Excellent work. 😎👍

Awesome job man

A fantastic vid, the rifle looked good to start with especially the barrel, by the time it was finished it looked brand spankers.👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻

Great little plinker gun. I have that exact same one. Great job!

Great job ,,on these guns there is a bullet guide atop of the magazine tube connected to the slide action ,, an if it's left out jam an no cycle

Very nice!!!

Have one of these. Pre 1900. It belonged to my great grandfather, my father and then me. Needs work as the shell casing gets jammed in the chamber and won't eject. Somebody did a halfass repair that did not work. I would like to have it repaired some day.

Great work, looks fantastic. Easy for someone with three hands! LOL

THREE hands thats a good trick

You are very skilled in your restoration, it was pleasing to watch. I fired the same rifles at fairs in the UK in the 1960's using "spatterproof" .22 shorts. Targets included moving self- resetting ducks, ping pong balls suspended on jets of water and glass and pottery pieces on a steel herringbone target. A large steel defence plate at the rear provided the all important backstop. We were all taken on trust to behave responsibly (as school children) and we did so. Impossible to imagine today! I now own a Remington 550/1 semi auto 15 shot rimfire and it is my absolute favourite of all my guns.

Nice gun, nice restoration, nice to watch. =)

This video makes me want to get a restoration done on mine. Great job,

Outstanding job guys! My dad and I used to shoot 22's like that at the fair when I was a kid.

👍💪 Super

0:20 I have one of these in my closet. Mine's less worn out, and has more features like a flip-up site that's adjustable

Awesome job, you did an amazing job with restoring the rifle.

Grew up with one of those!

👍👍👍👍 Perfekt

My nephew has one of these. He got it from my Grandmother who said her mother used to shoot rabbits out of her garden with it. It was physically functional but the bore looks like the Moon. Sadly it seems no one cleaned it after the last firing and it sat in my Grandmothers attic for 50+ years. He had it reblued and it's now in a display case over his fireplace.

My! What a beautiful old darling!

I really enjoyed this video and seeing your process right through to test firing made it great for me. Hugh UK.

Amazing👍👍👍👍

I have that some one lol. I love it
