First of all: Ruger never made an open top cap and ball revolver, and certainly not a toy. Second, if that gun was sitting in a river long enough for their to be "deep pitting" on the surface, those screws would have rusted in and that spring should have been GONE. Secondary, if you're removing active or even surface rust with white vinegar from that much metal it's going to need to sit for multiple DAYS not hours. And if ANYONE in my shop took a FILE to a firearm to remove pitting we'd start hitting you with it.

I am 66 years old and have been a mechanic all of my life and I have never seen an iron object rust in such a way as this. If this was a legitimately ground recovered object then it would not come apart as easy and the small and delicate parts would be dust. This gun is a setup, made to look rusty and worthless but is in fact in extremely rust free condition. FAKE.

I have little experience with restoration. But I’m sorta familiar with these models. There somethings that were off about this. If the whole gun was covered with surface rust and caked in over the years, I would automatically think that the screws would be rusted out also but they looked brand new. Also, who would spray paint on such a beautiful piece like that, you should’ve kept it original. My Abuelo would’ve slapped me with the belt clean across my face for doing that.

@@TheOnlyTrippie Ruger didn't exist in 1851, they were established very recently in 1949, nearly 100 years later. Secondly, Ruger never manufactured a cap and ball revolver (hence why he called it a cap gun, you might want to read up on company history and gun terminology before you make silly sideways comments like the one you posted to make yourself feel smarter than somebody). His whole description is as bogus as is his title. Third, this guy didn't find this gun model, he bought it and artificially aged it, fake rust that melts right off, the fact that he let the gun sit in a solution for just a couple hours when that much build up would take days to remove, no signs of patina, and electrolysis would have revealed far far far more damage in terms of the pits in this weapon. there wouldn't be much gun to work with after removing the rust build up if this was a real find. Learn when you're getting duped instead of defending a con, everyone in this comment section has a right to clown this youtuber.

My argument was strictly about people thinking he claimed this is a real gun when it says in the description that it was a cheap Chinese model. People are getting so heated saying “that isnt real, it wouldve be toast if its been in water since the 1800’s” like no shit. Thats it dude. I dont need a history lesson. I didnt use “silly sideways comments” I literally copy and pasted the description. Thats it. Okay maybe it was artificially rusted but he doesnt claim in the vid that the gun was from 1851.

[@laptopdragon]

fwiw I'm a novice but have worked with lots of cars in junk-yards and from my experience with corrosion I'm quite sceptical. I'd like to see the video of what you did to make this item appear to be covered in rust but was only mud or dirt. I don't believe this was an honest restoration. Rather it was possibly some old stock or replica that was in good condition and then made to resemble something that's old and rusted. There isn't any rust or pitting at all except in convenient places...anywhere and those screws that come out that easily is ridiculous. Then taking a file and wire wheel to something that would have significant historical or family heirloom value is absurd... Only to follow up with gold spray paint and not trying to restore or save the original grips with maybe an epoxy filler to save amap original material? Otherwise, if you came clean (pun) and showed what really happened I'd possibly upvote and subscribe.🎃(trick this time).

There's a guy who's doing a KZbin channel restoring a ghost town. He has a few old revolvers and I think a rifle that have been found in the properties. You should get a hold of him. It's called "ghost town living" See if you guys can help each other. Awesome job BTW 👏 👍

[@tingting4980]

I have an 1858 .44 BP and the cylinder was stuck within 2 weeks because I was a little lazy about cleaning it. And it had no rust like your so called restore. I'm thinking you used a little sodium carbonate, some water, and a battery charger on 12 amp for 20 hours and used that gun as a sacrificial metal to make it look rusty. Then after wire brushing the black rust, you put it in an oven to dry that rust to the brown color. At least you tried. But still a good video^^

@@coffresiusvi1211 I'm not doubting they are old screws but they look as of they were machined using a modern lathe(non cnc) well after this "gun" was manufactured. The fact that they are stainless steel tells us that they were at least installed into the piece after 1913

Looks like the King of Random model. They did a video showing how to make it. I have one myself actually.

I use mine to do glass etching.

[@TheManWhoSawTomorrow]

Somehow I feel a lot of the rust in these videos are done on purpose. no way items all the way rusted can be easily restored back to perfection like this. Especially the way the rusts come off easily.

[@GhostPenitent]

If you think that is easy then I guess you work lifting planets lmao

[@TheManWhoSawTomorrow]

@@GhostPenitent No one said it's easy. But I think the rust is self-inflicted for the purpose of the channel. no way all these items are rusty on the outside and simply dirty or slightly corroded on the inside after so long. I am of the belief he uses a chemical process to cause the rust on the outside. Just my 0.02cents. But who cares.

[@GhostPenitent]

@@TheManWhoSawTomorrow If you people didn't notice, it was in a river, so it most certainly is corroded (maybe slightly because it's a more modern chinese copy) as well as infected with various bacteria clumps because rivers aren't really the most clean water so to speak. Maybe noticed how the "rust" came off with an oily substance afte he put it inside the liquid? Yeah, those are germs btw.

I'm not sure why would would spend all this time restoring a toy gun but it looks good

[@robertdragoff6909]

The description did say a cheap decorative gun, but I did notice the shiny screws, however it was after some cleaning. Then he started filing away on the so called pitting. I wasn’t sure whether it was pitting or scroll work. Then came the gold and later black paint. Then I wondered why he didn’t fix it so the cylinder would rotate when the hammer was cocked. Oh well, it is for decoration only. It does look kinda cool.

[@memyname1771]

There were no parts in the toy gun to rotate the cylinder, and no parts to lock the cylinder in place when firing the "gun". This is a toy gun.

Yep, its a toy.

[@Desmodus1958]

Anything that Rusty would’ve been pitted much more than what it was. You also made the mistake of showing the front of the gun and the thinness of the barrel, along with it NOT matching the caliber of the cylinder. As the gun turns on the turntable, you can see the markings on the inside of the barrel match the same markings on the outside of the barrel. This shows in was injection molded, a process I don’t think was very common in the mid 1800’s.

[@cosmicbilly]

Lmao its a toy. Replica. Not a real gun. Calm down gi joe

[@TransfemMarta]

@@cosmicbilly Thank god someone also realizes this. It says it’s a prop gun in the title and the description. Some of these folks are coming in here acting like they called the creator our for lying to them. He just straight up says it. I will admit though, I believe the rust may be faked.

[@cosmicbilly]

@@TransfemMarta interesting.. i didnt even think of that! You think he's taking items and leaving them outside to rust so he has content for his videos? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

[@TransfemMarta]

@@cosmicbilly I don’t think it’s really rust even. Most likely something with a similar look and feel to it. The main thing that shows this is the screws. Did you notice how intact and easy the screws were to remove? They most likely weren’t really rusted. Even though the rust may be fake, he does show the proper rust removal procedures, which could be helpful to people trying to remove the rust on old metal devices.

[@lukeandolino8768]

So do you take it apart to make it rusty? Do you remove all the screws and then just put them in before filming or does the rusting process not really interfere with the threads of nuts and bolts?

The restoration of a poor quality non firing revolver hardly seems worth the effort. It wasn’t anything that needed to be saved to preserve a historic item. It looked awful to be truthful.
