Gun Restoration, WW2 German Army, Walther P-38 (With test firing).

#restoration #ww2 #walther
Restoration of WW2 German army walther p-38 with of course test firing. Finally got my hands on a p-38 used in the tail end of ww2 by the german army. Unfortunately this one was involved in a house fire in the States. This made it more challenging to restore with all the parts it needed. But I got it done and it works. Very pleased with it and hope you like it. Thanks for watching, Links below for socials.

You are blessed to live in a country that not only allows you to restore these old guns, but to buy the parts you need to do it. In Australia only criminals are allowed to own guns!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya that is unfortunate and sucks, I wish things were different! Thanks for watching

[@donparker1823]

I must wonder how such a kick ass country like Australia got so many woke imbeciles in government? Your covid response was barbaric. The gun confiscation thing was facistic.

[@panders55]

If our current President had his way, we'd be gunless. Thank god our founding Fathers drew up the Constitution and the 2nd amendment.

[@txhansolo22]

they snookered you blokes in ozzyland now they are coming after us in the USA. resist or submit to the NWO.

[@johnmcgregor6000]

Australian here - With respect, Criminals ARE NOT allowed to own guns here. Heavy penalties and / or Gaol time if caught. Pistol Club members ARE - subject to Police Scrutiny, Background Checks & Clearance, Plus regular attendance at Club Shoots.

i am a german policeman, this was my first weapon in the 70er years. we followed an robber, my scabbard was not closed, so i lost the 38er in snow an mud. we can t find it, but: the weather changed, 5 weeks later one friend find the pistol. no scratch, no rust, shoots perfect, GERMAN MADE...😮😮😮😊😊😊

[@TheKinzlerBros]

That's crazy and very lucky. Thanks for the story and for watching!

[@jcrossier20]

Your pistol was not a P.38, it was a P.1 (the postwar P.38 made in Ulm with aluminium frame instead steel frame made in Zella-Mehlis)

[@gibmelson7628]

@@jcrossier20 hi, you say this and i believe it. i know, all our police weapons were storage weapons, found in the 60er years in an 65 meter deep bunker. new old stock, everyone in oil paper. our uniforms for work inside the headquarter : made for soldiers in the 1935er year, thick wool and loden. winterclothing. in summer it was horrible to wear this, much toooo warm...

I'm a retired Dutch police officer. I had the Walther P5 for 35 years as my standard Dutch police pistol. I loved that pistol. I never had an issue with it. It functioned perfect and I was a very good marksman with it. It gave me a very secure feeling, always being able to put the bullet where I wanted it, even in the dark, seldom a miss. I knew Walther didn't change very much in the design but I still was surprised how much those pistols are alike. I loved your video. While you were busy I almost felt the gun in my hands. ;-)

Most American history books, they won't tell you that Adolf Hitler was demon possessed. He was no different compared to the Old Testament biblical historical figure named Haman. Both of these historical figures have plotted against the Jews in different time periods. Haman plotted against the Jews in 478 B.C. Persia, right where Iran and Iraq are both today. Queen Esther was on the throne at that time. Haman was a philosopher who had so much going up against Mordecai, who wasn't the Lord God's prophet. Adolf Hitler plotted against the Jews starting in February 1933; he did it during the Great depression America. ✡️

Пистолет Walther P38 являлся основой для создания пистолета Walther P1,который в свою очередь стал основой для создания пистолета Walther P5.

Someone should make a channel that's just the glass bead blaster, that thing is very satisfying to watch.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya it is very satisfying, thanks for watching!

[@jagitmax]

@@TheKinzlerBros I do a lot of the same thing you Bros do with old guns and have had a glass bead blaster for a long time, but here's a tip for you , after glass beading the surface I go over all the parts with a green scuff bob on my dremel at about mid speed , it makes a huge difference in the surface texture , a bit smoother than the blasted surface but not as smooth as a polished one either . Try it next time before you start the bluing process , I think you love the results.

[@chrisgibson6960]

I’m almost 60 years old and have worked on quite a few over the years. The old gunsmith’s used to say if it had been in a fire, replace every spring in it. Heat kills the temper in the spring. Great job bringing that one back.

Awesome job you did restoring that P-38 gun to working order. At first I thought that it was beyond salvaging and that it was very hard to find ammo for it, since the gun was from a bygone era, but you managed to find the ammo for it, not to mention that you were able to get it to fire properly without jamming due to age. Excellent work and masterful skill.

[@justrelaxing1501]

After getting too good at breaking down a M-16, M-4 and M-60 (yes along time ago) it was good to see you took care to restore the springs and vital parts. I had my doubts at first, but you pulled it off with your meticulous cleaning and restoration. Especially enjoyed the test fire but would not advise shooting anything at water. It ricochets and you lose accountability of the round.
