Colt Python bar code removal!! Can it be done?

[@chrisstandingbear1947]

Now instead of a barcode there's just an ugly polished crater on the side of your Python, with traces of barcode mixed in...

[@TerryBenton]

Oh man that will probably never get fixed!!!!!

[@HKUriah]

So, after all tthat, your gun is visibly defaced, and the barcode is still there. Way to go!

[@TerryBenton]

Thanks!!!!!

[@jeffmatlowwildcattattoo523]

The collective collectors gasp!- bar code doesn't bother me as much as the " WARNING! Capable of firing with magazine removed.Read instruction manual before use" stamped on some other makes,along with bar codes .

[@TerryBenton]

Very true

[@Duda4711]

Never seen anyone spend so much time and effort to ruin a firearm. To each their own!

[@TerryBenton]

How did inguinal a firearm?

[@Shane_Diesel_2010]

Congratulations. You just fucked up a beautiful gun 👌

[@TerryBenton]

How did I mess it up?

[@nickryder6019]

OMG! what have you done? Oh yeah, it's your gun. Thanks for showing why stainless guns are great.

[@TerryBenton]

Thanks!!!!

[@MCAdventurerHD131]

You’re good as long as you don’t harm the box. The box is the most important part of any firearm. Next, do the serial number.

[@TerryBenton]

I may polish the box in a future video

You, sir, have giant, moose-sized brass balls. 🤣🙌 I love it.

Lol. I do

[@mikepurdy3952]

I LOVE It... That Stupid BAR-CODE has kept Me from even wanting a New Python... Excellent Job...

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you

[@marksmith-ug2qi]

I hope your share your final version. Watching you dremel the revolver was painful as it sounded, and it sounded like a visit to the dentist with the drill. Glad you shared you doing it and making your tools your own. My only recommendation is to disassemble to make it easier, but I'm sure you'll do that in your final video. I like all your videos.

[@TerryBenton]

Thanks man

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

I do wish they didn’t put the barcode on these revolvers. Just don’t look right.

[@TerryBenton]

I agree

[@magnum_0710]

Where did you get those grips?!? I had the wallet for years!!!

[@TerryBenton]

Lol. I had them mad out of python elite grips. Laser engraved. I have the wallet too. I habe carried it for years!!!!

[@jimbo9357]

Fifty years from now-"what happened to this gun?". I understand your actions. I wonder how difficult to take the barrel down to four inches from 4.25. Small detail I know but I just like the looks of a four inch vintage Python with original style wood grips. New Python a little too homogenized.

[@TerryBenton]

I have an original 4 inch bright stainless python. Check out my videos. I have a side by side comparison of thr two

[@ArmeroPR]

Funny to read all the hate comments on something that isn’t theirs. Things like this was completely the norm back when every gun was metal and there was no polymer firearms.

[@TerryBenton]

Lol. I agree. People really let things upset them

[@fernandoraigoza614]

You just made my day Sir !!!!

[@TerryBenton]

Why is that?

[@jetman1979]

will look perfect?

[@TerryBenton]

Ok

[@NOLAART]

Good grief! Next get a thousand dollar bill and remove all the ink.

[@TerryBenton]

Ok

[@bryanhoffman9806]

I hate the bar code, wouldn’t own a new colt that has one. Plenty of older ones out there for me to acquire. Colt went nuts

[@TerryBenton]

@bryanhoffman9806 I have both old and new. I removed the bsr code on this one to see of I could

[@Nierlock]

Bar code doesn’t bug me too much, but still pretty cool to see what can be done in less than 20 min. Interested to see how this ends up after some more work

[@TerryBenton]

It came along pretty well. I did two short follow up videos. Just some minor refining needs to be done

[@Jp-mn1rq]

I want to see the follow up video.

[@TerryBenton]

I have a couple.as it was being smoothed down. I will post a video soon of the finished product

[@vlodpg]

Bubba the hack at work!

Yup. If only I knew what I was doing

Cool

[@mr2275cur]

Hey Mr. Benton, it's your gun, so you definitely have the right to do as you're pleased to it. Man, I don't know if I could have done it though. But I am not criticizing you for it.

[@TerryBenton]

Lol. It is fine. Thanks for watching

[@mr2275cur]

I just discovered your channel, which is surprising because I'm a revolver enthusiast. @@TerryBenton

[@TerryBenton]

@mr2275cur I have been following you for a while. I actually fixed a set of python grips using your method. I am on The hunt for a 4 inch 686 as we speak. That is the last ( for now lol) Smith I want. I was sad to see you are getting g rid of your Revolvers

[@mr2275cur]

@@TerryBenton Thank you. I've been watching a lot of your vids since yesterday. Love your collection and all of the videos. It's time for me to sell. I'm in my mid-60's now, and my life's priorities are changing.

@@mr2275cur I understand. Very nice work on restoring thise Smiths. They are all awesome

[@thomasjunglas6335]

You completely devalued your Colt

[@TerryBenton]

Well I do not have to sell my Colt. If you have to sell yours you should probably not buy it

[@tberkoff]

Why bother?

[@TerryBenton]

Why not

[@totljag1]

Because that bar code is almost as ugly as the locks on S&W Revolvers

[@Drewskizee]

What about have someone do engraving

[@TerryBenton]

I am not into engraving

[@thomasjunglas6335]

Sam Colt just turned over in his grave 😂😂😂

Lol

Never would I do that

Thats nothing compared to what Ruger stamps on their guns

Oh yes. I agree

Nice job 👍 but shouldn’t u have ur white gloves on while u do that 😂

Thank you. It is not perfect yet. The video was just a guide on how to do it

@TerryBenton i mean, as you may see, the rotary tool is not the right tool to do that. It's hard to make the flat surface.

@shasi73ify got it. Thanks

Why not put the gun in vise mad remove that screw so to prevent an accident Ricky from IBM

It was just a guidance video. The screw will be removed for the final product and it will be secured. Thanks for watching

In this day and age that bar code to me it's not that big of deal no it doesn't look so great but when everything thing you buy has one including a tomato at the grocery store my new colt Anaconda has one the government knows I bought it so what does it matter when they come for your guns if that day come do you think there going to knock and there's only going to be one or two at the door and if you don't give them you will most likely going to die just enjoy them while you can👍🏻ps I would have left it alone
