Far away in a small village in Mexico lives a retired sailor from Ireland. One day a group of bandits goes into town and starts makin a ruckus . The old sailor minds his business as best as he can to not get killed but he has sympathy for everyone being oppressed by the bandits. One day the sailor did what he does best and that was go fishin , well on this particular day he didn’t catch no fish but an old 1851 navy wheel gun . He marveled at the dirty old thing and felt inspired, he knew just what to do . So he wastes no time in cleaning the gobs of dirt and muck from the revolver as he works under the dim lantern light . As morning came he soaked the metal pieces he took apart in a bucket of vinegar to remove the rust , tired but determined he quickly and quietly heads to town and spends what little money he has on some metal parts and a neat little diagram the shop keep let him have when asked about . The man takes the long way home so as not to be noticed and in his quiet home where no one goes the old sailor continues his labor . He scrubs the rest of the filth and bile right off the ole work horse returning her to some semblance of its former glory. With the parts from town , some more oil in his lantern for the dark house in which he dwelled , and that handy little diagram the shop keep gave him the old sailor went back to work . He thought of his life back in Ireland and what could have been but remembered why he left and also why he stayed ( in Mexico) , and as he did so he reassembled the old parts now shining with new life , he starred at the diagram and at the parts and back again until eventually burning the image into his mind but until then he continued to reference it putting the grips back on and then the cylinder followed by the barrel and every thing else . He finally had a newly working gun . He went over to a drawer and opened it in that was an old hickory box , he dug it out of the drawer and sat the gun down next to it . He slowly flicked the latch on it upwards as it made a hissing sound , he paused a moment and then lifted the lid of the box . Inside there were many things , trinkets of a time lost long ago but what was important here was the five or six paper cartridges and six or seven or so percussion caps inside . He was given these long ago by someone he’d rather not think about “hold on to these for me until I need them” he remembered someone say . Out loud he said to himself “sorry but I guess I’m the one that need em now” . He loaded the gun and headed out of his shack he called a home looked towards the direction of town but not before grabbing the biggest reddest apple off the tree in his yard taking a bite and putting his newly assembled pistol in between his belt and under his jacket. The sailor walked to town admiring the now sunset beside him as he marveled at the time gone buy to craft his weapon . When the sailor got to town he saw a bandit harassing a beautiful woman , he interrupted the thugs awful flirting with the question “where’s your boss” to which the thug replied “who are you and why do you want to know ?” The sailor stopped and paused before saying “I’m nobody and I’ve got something to give him” then the bandit said “oh” and pointed to the saloon where it was loud and rowdy but the people inside had a tense look to their face , as he stepped inside it was blatantly obvious who ran the show , there was a big man with a big mustache and two woman around each arm with a glass of bourbon in one hand a hand full of cards in the next he was loud and enjoying himself as he played poker with the other outlaws . The sailor walked right up to the bandits chief and loudly asked “you in charge of these thugs ?” To his surprise instead of the usual violent outburst everyone in the room was expecting he simply answered with “Yea ! What’s it to you ?” And the sailor said loudly and sternly “I want you and all your thugs out of this town today” to which the bandit chief said “YOU DO !And what’s gonna happen if we don’t ?” He said gruffly . “You’ll be good as dead and cold as stone that’s for sure” said the sailor . And then the bandit rose from his chair slowly and said to him “Oh yea well I’d like to see you stop me from stayin !” His words were heavy and he stood at least a head y’all over everyone else , across from the table the bandit chief stared daggers into the sailor but not to the bandits desired affect , he leant down putting both fists on the table and said right to the sailors face “well ?” And with cold eyes the sailor said “i warned you” and in a flash of fury the bandit stood strait up and grabbed a large Bowie knife from his hip his eyes red with anger for the man before him wore down his patience completely and ruined his good time , as he started to lean forward in the attempt to stab the sailor he himself drew the pistol with lightning quick speed and blasted a whole in the center of the bandits chest knocking him backwards, his enormous weight crashing into the wall behind him . Every single person in that saloon and a few outside as well was in stunned silence as they saw what happens before them the minute the sailor crossed the saloons threshold . “Anybody else want some ?” Said the sailor another bandit this one of normal size tried grabbing the dropped knife before receiving some hot lead to the brain and then the other bandit adjacent to him twitched a little too quickly and bought a box in the ground. The sailor turns around , hands at the read “if y’all don’t want some too you’d best get out of town and never come back , the two out laws shook their heads yes and ran out side as the sailor walked outside he saw a confused and angry bandit the same as the one before with the woman loom at him , the sailor cocked the gun one last time and the man across from him suddenly grew calmer before huffing and walking off towards his horse never to be seen again . After that day the town got a lot quieter and the old sailor never had to pay for anything again when he went to town , not because the people feared him but because they were grateful . And that was the story of how a little town got their first sheriff.

Wow !

I know you found it,it's yours and you can do what you want to it but I found myself wincing at this rather brutal restoration. Electrolysis is effective, cheap and very easy to do. I would follow it up by soaking in diesel or similar for a few days. Routine stuff for metal detecting and magnet fishing finds. Great find by the way!

I will improve my technique next time, thanks !

sorry friend, I too have often found difficulties with time-encrusted screws, I don't know if you have ever tried to put the screwdriver in the slot of the head of the waist and holding it firmly give small perpendicular hammering blows that will make the encrustations give way in the thread, without insisting on turning which always ruins the head of an old screw. if you've never done it, try it. good life

Restoration of the revolver with the use of the most basic and simple tools. Very nice

Thank you very much. I don't have a big budget

[@vitangelomoscarda2522]

stupidly I have always been fascinated by modern weapons, then seeing films like this I had to change my mind, the resistance of certain materials to the wear and tear of time, atmospheric agents and water erosion, the ingenuity of those who assembled them, without modern machinery , put me in front of my ignorance and of how much man can be capable of creating, even if it were a small screw, a pin or a piece of wood or horn worked and finished so as to be appreciated by all. I find it stupid that everyone has made the far west a competition of shooters to kill for different reasons, today I think it is more correct to remember the far west for the great quality of the handcrafted product of people who worked with manual tools and created objects like the restored one. ..crafts, agriculture and breeding, country music and dancing in front of a fire and lots of whiskey ... I firmly believe this is the heart and true life of America.

Indeed, personally not only for America but globally for all weapons, I prefer the charm of black powder and simplicity!

У таких револьверов пули были из мягкого свинца без латунной оболочки, и это значит что даже с поврежденным коррозией стволом можно успешно выстрелить!))

[@ТарасенкоСергй]

Стрельбы в видео не вижу. Этот револьвер заряжался с барабана, посему пули использовались оболочечные. А свинцовые без оболочечные пули предназначались для револьверов, заряжавшихся в барабан со ствола.Иначе оболочечную пулю нарезі в стволе не пропустят.

This isn’t actually isn’t a navy, it’s a Griswold and Gunnison revolver, they were produced for the Confederacy in small numbers. It’s brother is the Leech and Rigdon, the difference being a steel frame VS a brass frame. A navy has a fully octagonal barrel, where these Confederate revolvers have a round barrel. Really neat find, they’re pretty hard to come by, I’ve not seen one with a sherif barrel before.

@@xraw110x It's just a repro sadly. A lot of the times the serial numbers are removed to make them look more authentic, or they aren't numbered at all. It all depends on the person who bought it and the manufacture. Serial numbers on BP firearms is way less strict than on cartridge guns, I'm guessing its because they're not legally considered firearms.

Colt weapons were made to last

[@donaldcampbell5277]

Yes but Colt didn't make this one.

[@unclesam7368]

@@donaldcampbell5277 ?? Its called a colt navy revolver. Manufactured by colt firearms. Unless its a great replica.

[@justinorwen1141]

It said in the water 10 years at the beginning, im pretty sure its a working replica.

Do not take this offensively, but try to use proper tools for the job and less force. and get rid of that knife.
