Restoring 1917 British WW1 Webley Mark VI revolver, (with test firing)

[@richardcunningham5540]

Absolutely superb job - this one turned out great! Is fascinating to see the mechanics and how every gun maker came at the same end objective, from a different direction. The Webley is a beauty. Nice work too on some of the close up/macro video - awesome detail.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much, we appreciate the support!

Love the work. Watching these revolvers get restored for some reason makes me want to watch old Western films.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks we appreciate it! Ya that'll do it! Thanks for watching

[@robertdragoff6909]

The best part of this channel is that not only do you restore guns, you also test fire as well….. Great video

[@KimberlyPBates]

Seeing an old rusted gun and watching it be restored and used again is satisfying to me

[@TheKinzlerBros]

I really enjoy it myself too, thanks for watching!

[@LouisL1963]

One of the best Webley restoration videos I've seen. Great to see a classic British revolver brought back to life 😊

I have a Webley MK VI in mint condition I love it. It was my fathers service revolver. It will be passed down for many generations. Thank you

Really?? The Backyard Ballistics channel is from England. They do the same thing.

[@amoryguenin]

as a gunsmith if gun laws in m'y country are evolving in a bad way for us i might maybe move to the US probably in the south.

I love these old revolvers they just have that classic look to them that new guns can't replicate.

[@ek8710]

Nice work as always! Just a couple of things, did you check the cylinder timing? .455 Webley MkVI's aren't made to handle the chamber pressures of 45, top strap break action revolvers aren't the strongest frames and you're supposed to down load your own 45 to the .455 chamber pressures. 45 ACP is a good few CUP more than factory .455's this was made for.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks, ya I did! Ya I know I shouldn't shoot 45 acp but I didn't order period ammo. Thanks for watching

[@JeanChordeiles]

So easy on the eye ! It was a real pleasure to watch the operation of this beautiful mechanism ! Thanks ! 🙂And I loved this dark blueing. Your videos keep getting better. 👍👏

[@simongrimme417]

I’ve been enjoying your videos for a while but this one was special. Back in the eighties me and my brother accidentally came across our grandfathers service revolver exactly the same as this Webley so awesome to see this one restored and fired, thank you so much 😊

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you for the support we appreciate it! Thanks for the story and for watching!

[@johnnyholland8765]

Glad to see you using the proper tools and not hacking away at it using hardware store screwdrivers. I have restored bores with a good brushing and even with some pitting and frost they still have surprising accuracy.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya you have to, it makes a difference. Thanks for watching

[@ronaldmayle1823]

I like this channel because the guy doesn't try to be an internet star. He lets his work do the talking for him.

[@charlesm7589]

My question to these 'authentic" restoration channels is this: Where in the world do you keep finding very old weapons in a very similar state of rust practically every week?

[@TwentyTwoSigma]

​@@charlesm7589 Simple, he has a business. He gets sent these by customers. Also probably has a catalog pre recorded to release when he wants.

Another fine resurrection of a British fire arm. You have a real sense of past with these items, Brandon. I guess even schooling on how to restore these, methods of rebuilding are the key to the completion. All the best to you, and your family in 2024. See you on the next! 😊

[@MillwalltheCat]

Nice job as always. If nobody else has mentioned it, the 'head to head' Ordnance Arrow markings (on the left side of the barrel and frame), signify 'Sold out of Service', meaning that the pistol was put on to the civilian market by the War Department. Good vid, I enjoy watching you guys work.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks we appreciate it always! Thanks for the info and for watching!

[@kirksnyder6190]

Excellent work. Also, good to know it is still a functional and accurate weapon.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

[@jeepanimal2943]

Very nice job on the restoration. Former co-worker had an experience with one of those. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong end. He was security, and a not so nice guy, wanted past. Pulled the Webley. The guards were told in case of this type of gun, jam your hand into the hammer, however you could. Guy kept firing. Not a single bullet was shot. He showed me the scars from the firing pin point piercing his skin, between the thumb and forefinger (Pointer.) Little dots that were from infection from the gun.

Thanks, that sounds terrible. Thanks for the story and for watching

I love the old 445...when my parents moved into their first home after Dad came home from WW2, they found a Webley 445 behind the brickwork in the loft. I remember my Dad had it until I went into the Army in 1983 but after that it went missing...it was rusted tight and still had three used cartridges in the cylinder and was hung on Dads workroom wall for ages.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya they are awesome revolvers, thank you for your service and for the kind words!

[@x15973]

Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge! Well done....... Over the years restored my Grandfathers model 11 Remington/Browning 12 gauge that was bought used in early 1900's. And a Colt Woodsman. Both shoot well and proud additions! Now have Mouse Milk and ordering CLP SP4 Grease today and drip bottle. Love Amazon.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Your welcome, thank you very much for the kind words! Ya amazon is great!

[@StudSupreme]

Impressive how well that mouse milk works. Notice how the plastic grips are almost indestructible. I remember reading that the break-open style fell out of favor because it would rather easily misalign and prevent proper opening and closing of the mechanism. Pity - it would be much faster for speed loads. Beautiful restoration. It's a gorgeous looking gun now.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya it's awesome, ya they are pretty durable! That is to bad, ya speed loads work great on them! Thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much and absolutely it deserved it! Thanks for watching!

[@origamigamer8990]

One suggestion to help with the process: leave the gun in boiling water before attempting to work the action. This will convert some of the red iron oxide (rust) into black iron oxide (bluing), making the gun significantly easier to work with. Backyard Ballistics has an excellent video series about this.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks for the advice and for watching!

[@stevenmiller184]

Amazing. You forget how many little parts a revolver has compared to a semi automatic. I had a Webley Mark 1, the cylinder was also cut down for .45 ACP. I used a cartridge that I doubt you could even find now, the .45 Auto Rim.. Designed for use in .45 revolvers. It was a lighter charge, I believe. The .455 Webley cartridge is of much less pressure than the .45 ACP It is recommended that you hand load .45 ACP to a lower pressure for use in these Webleys.

Thanks, ya there is a lot! Ya I know, thanks for watching!
