Restoring old Colt Lightning Revolver M1877, (with test firing)

[@clifbradley]

I like that these aren't fake. I hate the fake restoration videos with added fake rust. This channel and Lost and Restored are my 2 faves in the genre.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya we take pride in not being one of those channels! Thanks for watching we appreciate it

[@ruck-a-tron]

Yeah, the rust and junk that the artificially put on stuff is too over the top. You can tell this is legit. Probably this gun got left in the holster in storage too long.

[@brucemcclary3260]

Nice rebuild horrible throwing arm

[@solomonyea8972]

And backyard ballistics

[@blankczechz]

That drives me crazy when they have a pistol model I can by today that looks like they retrieved it fron the wreck of a 250 year old pirate ship.

[@joecampitiello3643]

For us non gunsmiths I thank you for talking through some of this

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Your welcome, thanks for watching we appreciate it!

[@gunfighterzero]

Great job on saving this piece of history, going by the serial number it looks like it was made in 1901. Not a bad shooter to be 123 years old

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks we appreciate it, ya it is old! Thanks for watching

[@frenchfan3368]

Thank you for taking the time to restore a piece of history that future generations can appreciate and enjoy! Keep up the good work!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

[@lloydryan-e4l]

I'm amazed it cleaned up so well. Hardly any blemishes. Very under powered. Only one I've ever seen even in a video. Great restoration.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much, ya it had some minor pitting! Thanks for watching

[@KyleCowden]

I still wouldn't want to be shot by one. I had a DAA that had a ridiculous trigger pull in double action. It was a .38 colt and would do a whole lot more than that. I did run black powder though and 1893 pistol should handle smokeless. I wonder how much of that was the gun. Headspace, forcing cone, etc. That DAA would poke good and deep holes in things.

[@irvinslagter8298]

That's because they were the biggest POS of a Colt ever made. they had an awful lock work and and got out of time easily.

[@DeadlyDigger]

I was completely lost at about the 3 minute mark, total respect to armourers and watchmakers,

Alright another peace of history restored. Definitely gonna watch young guns later now maybe even tombstone. Thank you for your work and entertainment. Also you can shoot 38 short in the 38 long colt.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Absolutely, there you go! Thanks for the info and for watching!

[@eugenecussen3735]

The outlaw weapon you’re referring to is likely John Wesley Hardins, a notorious gunslinger in the American Old West. Hardin was known to carry a Colt Lightning Revolver M1877, a double-action revolver popular during that era. Interestingly, he had a background in various trades, including working as a cowboy and handling different technical tasks, which showcased some engineering aptitude ....even if not formally trained as an engineer. The Colt M1877, called the "Lightning" for its .38 caliber version, was the first double-action revolver made by Colt. Hardin's use of this advanced type of firearm for the time was consistent with his reputation as a highly skilled and technically adept gunfighter.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks for the info and for watching!

[@Steven_Rowe]

Regardless of it being a firearm I found it very satisfying to watch your talent at restoration, you must be very pleased with the result. Well done.

Great job restoring this gun. As for the 38lc round, it was a really under powered bullet which is clearly demonstrated in the ballistic gel test. So bad during a conflict that the US Army did an emergency issue of Army Single Action 45 colt.

Thank you very much, ya for sure! Thanks for the info and for watching!

Maybe send the number and description of the gun to Colt, they can usually provide information about the the original shipping details. Who knows who first had this. . . Another great job guys.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

We are doing that with some of them, thanks we appreciate it and thanks for watching!

[@johnhooperm.d.4222]

You can just look that up online, but your idea is good to make sure the date is correct.

[@MrTruckerf]

Colt charges a great deal of money for this information. I think they are up to $300 now. That gun as refinished is in the $500 range. Not worth a letter in my estimation.

[@บัวสีโรเจอร์-ศ9ฝ]

​@@MrTruckerfYou're right, but I'd still like to know some history, after all, you never know. . . . .

I have a 1911 45 made in 1808 no restoration needed with the original us holster. Im 80 now and it was given to when i was 18. I have many guns but the old 45 is my most cherished posession.

Absolutely masterful restoration. Turned out awesome. Would be interested to hear you talk about which of the pistols you have restored that you enjoyed shooting the most. I guess they'd all put a smile on your face after bringing them back from piles of rusty metal. Amazing work.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for the feedback as well! The Luger P 08 was awesome.

[@CameronMcCreary]

When I was younger I saw my local gunsmith take one of these apart. He ended up replacing a broken spring. Nicely made but rather poor double action engineering.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya they had there problems but, still a classic gun. Thanks for watching

Любовь американцев к огнестрельному оружию, полёт конструкторской и технологической мысли заслужило всемирного признания. Не верится, что этой конструкции (не конкретному револьверу, а проекту Colt Lightning M1877) без малого полтора столетия. Вечная юность!!!

[@keithdaniel3405]

I have one that belonged to my dad and his dad who was a missionary in South America. .38 Long Colt Lightening, short barrel. The cylinder will skip but otherwise in good shape. Also made famous because I believe they were one of the first to have Plastic Grips, as that was totally a new thing then. My sister has his bible that is cut out so the pistol would fit inside.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

That is an awesome heirloom to have along with the bible. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

I bought an old revolver in 38 special with $120 The sight was miss and the barrel was loose and the grep had a crack. I foxed and painted it. I love it now♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥😘😘🕊🕊

I hold in my hand my grandfather's Lightning (c.1906) ... which, I would guess, hasn't been properly cleaned in something close to 100 years. It's 95% finish on the outside, but I can tell from the action that its gummed up on the inside. Thanks for the illustrated disassembly!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Awesome, good luck with your cleaning!

[@oldsagerat]

There is a photograph of AJ Harrington Cassia County, Idaho territory sheriff in 1887 with one of these in a cross draw partially under his frock coat. He looks like a man to step aside from. Thanks for the restoration.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Very cool, sounds like it, thanks for watching!

[@EliteNirvana]

I had one of these. Every gun smith I talked to said they was known to malfunctioning and hard to work on I think they are a cool historical marker between single action and double action. Right before semi automatics was very popular

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Cool, ya for sure! They are big piece of history in that respect! Thanks for watching

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Good job on the restoration! The .41 Colt cartridge never was a power house of a round, so it wasn't particularly surprising to see its lack of penetration in the ballistic gel, and modern loads need to be somewhat anemic to keep pressures on the safe side in those old iron revolvers. Still, the Colt Lightning revolver was fairly popular in the old West, possibly the first reliable double-action revolver in common use. Cheers.

The one thing I would suggest is since the firing pin is on the hammer, always leave the chamber under the hammer empty. If it is dropped or the hammer hit hard enough it will go off. The restoration you did on that pistol is awesome. I really enjoy your videos keep them coming.

Being a Cowboy Shooter, one thing I noticed is that the front sight is bent a little to the right, probably from a previous owner trying to sight it in. If you straighten that out, you might get better accuracy. I've watched several of your videos, and I'm very impressed by your workmanship. I have a Italian SAA clone that I couldn't get the barrel off of no matter what I tried. I even broke a vice trying to tighten it down enough to stop the barrel from turning, to no avail.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya that would help a little. Thanks we appreciate the support and kind words! Ya some barrels are on so tight it sucks. Thanks for watching

[@reedgarry229]

@crob I found a single shot 12 gauge with a metal detector one time. I also tried everything to get it to break open. A friend of mine told me To soak it in white vinegar for a few days.and it worked. I am not an expert at restoring things but when I find rusty things I want to clean I use the vinegar trick. Don't know if this would help u but it might be worth a try.

[@Phage26]

Beautiful video as always. I have question about the "golden" color you seem to get pretty often when caustic blueing these guns. BTW, this is not a critique, just genuine curiosity: is it because those parts are hardened in a different way? Is there a way to get them black (maybe repeating the bluing)? Just genuine curiosity cause this doesn't happen with rust bluing (unless you put too much rust promoting solution on the pieces). Keep up the great work. Greetings from Italy

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks we appreciate it, ya that is why, they are a little different type of metal. Ya we haven't attempted rust bluing! Good question, thanks for watching!
