I cannot believe how close I was on the video you found this. I said I thought it was a Luger with no barrel at first but the shape was wrong, and it turned out to be a Luger like cap gun. I am proud of myself. Thanks for showing us this great restoration.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

I also after looking at it more thought it was maybe a Lugar just because of the back top part of the gun it’s just like a Lugar but it’s just yeah like you said it’s a toy gun made to look like one would’ve been really cool if it would’ve stayed complete but from the beginning the barrel is broken which is why I probably ended up in the river thanks for watching

[@hallofguns8174]

@@TheKinzlerBros Yeah, maybe a kid a long time ago broke it then just threw it in the river.

Fantastic job, thanks

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks, thank you for watching!

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

Very nice job on the gun restoration guys, neat to see the before and after product! Thanks and take care this weekend!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much James that was a very nice comment some of my practices are probably not looked up on on some of the people in the restoration community but with the state of the gun I did not see trying to do it nicely I just had to use the wire brush and deal with the consequences because it was never going to be an actual gun and get a toy gun again but anyway thank you for watching

[@troyrichardson2310]

Antique Kilgore G-man @ 1936 cast iron toy luger look alike. Very cool to find such an old toy.. Great job!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya it is pretty cool, thanks for the comment and for watching

[@nancykitzinger3078]

Very cool! That’s when they made quality products!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Oh yes this is back when they made stuff really well really well-built and built with good products and good steel I mean toy guns today or plastic back then they were all steel and they had the weight of a real gun really impressed with how they were built back then

Good job fellow magnet fisher ! A little tips, you have to remove the rust where you put the cables for the electrolysis.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks for the tip and for watching

[@waynebarke7979]

Looks to be fashioned after a German Luger, toggle action 9mm. Great job on cleaning it up. You need a sandblaster now to help with restoration. Have a great Thanksgiving. 👍

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yep actually I was at a store and an older gentleman approached me having seen my videos told me that he had a small sandblaster that he could sell me and I have not called him yet on it but looks to be like I’m going to be buying a sandblaster that’s pretty cool thank you for watching

Really cool little gun

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you I think so as well too bad it wasn’t a complete gun in the end

[@DiegoHernandez-ip9hk]

That’s super cool. What an antique cap gun. They don’t make them like that anymore that’s for sure.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

They don’t make a lot of things like they used to anymore these guns were like all metal had like real gun weight and feel to them which is just not there anymore and toy guns thank you for watching

[@danieljohnson6931]

Wow Most people would just throw it away. Props for seeing it through even though it has its issues

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yes I agree most people that restore firearms would never even attempt something like this except for a Frenchman that I watch and he’s done this to and he’s even found guns that are even worse than what I just dead they’re hard to do they take time and they end up losing so much of their structural integrity once all that rust is gone but thank you for watching

Wow very cool find.(Vintage 30 plus years antique 100 years or older.)

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yes it is a really cool piece despite the barrel being broken and it being a cap gun this was back when they made cap guns all out of steel they have the weight of a real gun and I think they were really cool unfortunately yes not a real gun but thank you for watching

[@reidgalbraith250]

Though I was born in 1954, my Dad had been in the US Navy out in the Pacific as far as landing in Japan. For my 11th birthday he gave me a gun and taught me how to shoot (outside LA in the Mohave Desert). We’d cut work and school on Mondays, pack a styrofoam ice box full of sandwiches, water, and drinks and just go. He considered it an important part of my education for when my time came to serve. He wanted to give me an edge by starting me young. The gun he gave me was a Savage, break action, over under, .22 rifle on top, with a 20 gauge shotgun bottom barrel. M1s with the 5 shot clip were in the gun catalogues I used to ponder over. I always wanted one. I did hear tell that sometime around the 1980s an old WWII arms dump was remembered dug into an Austrian hill side. Unannounced a group of “anonymous” (in the know) individuals just went in and removed it! Evidently cases of arms, including M1s, all greased up and brand spanking new were amongst the”haul”. Can anybody else verify this tale? RAHG

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you for your service and for the story, I enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@bryantblake1877]

Had me going there guys, It kinda looked like a 9mm parabellum LUGER! 🤭

Question.....not knowing theres a round in there ya hook to electrollis?

[@TheKinzlerBros]

I don't think electrolysis would set a round off, but thanks for the advice

[@howitzer8946]

I thought the profile was a Luger from the git go...... well I was sorta right lol. Great Video, and thank you.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yes this cap gun was made to look like a Lugar which it did only thing really that didn’t look like a Lugar what is the trigger guard on the Lugar the trigger guard is rounded otherwise I thought it was a Luger to but turns out it’s just a really cool cap gun I wish the barrel would’ve been there and I’ll come together would’ve been really cool but thanks for watching

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much I know it was a letdown that this was not a real firearm believe me I was let down even though what kind of cap gun it is is really cool if it would’ve been new but I just could not get it to function since the trigger fell off and the barrel being broken but thank you for watching

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

woowo its turn out realy good ;) awsome job ;) boyz

[@TheKinzlerBros]

It turned out decent I wish the trigger wouldn’t have fallen off and I wish you could’ve found it with the barrel but that’s probably why it was in the river kid broke the barrel off and said screw this gun is broken and hooked it off the bridge probably 70 some years ago thanks for watching buddy

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

@@TheKinzlerBros woow that long time ago, but still great job ;) thanks

[@scottgoodman8993]

Good practice for when you find something worth saving.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yes sir, thanks for watching

[@lasvegasira]

I’m glad it turned out to be a cap gun. Because you need to be far more cautious when cleaning ANY gun you find like that. If that were actually a real gun, you had no idea of it was still loaded or not. And if it had still been loaded, this could have been a very different kind of video.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya it could have turned out badly, we found out early that it was a toy, thanks for watching

[@robinwolfe2217]

WOOT!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

This was one cool experience first time actually having electrolysis be successful and I can’t wait to do it again

[@dianagregory1197]

Great Job!!! All honesty when you guys pulled it out of the river I thought there's no hope for this gun. Before you guys started your channel did you restore items, or is this something you started with the channel?

[@TheKinzlerBros]

I was not planning on a restoration of it but I wanted to do it because I didn’t know what it was and it bother me not knowing if it was a real gun or a toy gun and before our channel we did not do this stuff I didn’t restore anything at all so I’ve been learning as we go and I have two more restorations coming up I already have the firearms I just got a need to find the time to do them but they will be easier because they were found in the River anyways thank you for watching

[@GalsOutwestTreasureHunting]

Fun to watch that. I have what I believe to be a late 1800's revolver I found magnet fishing. I tried basic cleaning with Rustoleum naval jelly. It hardly did anything. I need that tool setup like you have in your garage. What works to remove DECADES of rust? thx

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks, that sounds awesome if it is that old, ya those aren't gonna do the trick. you will need to set up an electrolysis system. Just look it up and it will tell you how to make one. thanks for watching

[@braynjohnson4302]

The real question is are these all murder weapons and that’s why you find them in the lake lol

[@TheKinzlerBros]

I don't think so, especially this one because it's a toy

[@dalejohns2758]

I had to laugh in the begging when he said it looks like a Derringer!!! Hahahahaha! It looks nothing like a Derringer. And for anything to be called Antique, it has to be 100yrs old or more. This would be Vintage.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya we get a little excited and say stupid stuff sometimes, thanks for the info and for watching

[@pwrplnt1975]

Looks like the action of a Luger.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya its made to look like one, it was a kids toy gun, thanks for watching

[@tomdooley3522]

Should have put a new barrel on it. That it didn't fall apart in the Electra bath to me is amazing. But all in all great job.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Right! ya it was in rough shape, thanks we appreciate you watching

[@Nates38487]

that is amazing maybe you should teach law enforcement on how to restored them that way they can restored the ones that the other KZbin's give to them, and instead of them scraping or destroying them they can Restored them, 'Lol' I love DIY so defenetly ill be watching your other videos

Question, I have a gun I’m currently restoring. Pretty bad surface rust on the barrel, I found a decent rust remover which I will throw on it next week, and found a kit at cabelas for the same blueing and whatnot. When I get done removing the rust, should I blue it?

[@TheKinzlerBros]

After you remove all the rust you need to clean off any excess chemicals or any of the rust removal chemical you use do you want to have a completely clean of all solvents or chemicals before you blue it.

[@murrayl4715]

@@TheKinzlerBros swell advice, what would’ve the best way to clean off said chemicals?

The shuttering effect in the timelapse segment is likely do to your light source, not the camera.

Ya we weren't sure what it was, thanks for the feedback

[@klaasweerstand6660]

At the part where you don't know what your camera is doing, I think it might be set to the wrong type of video format. Try switching it from PAL to NTSC or the other way around.
