Seeing even the original ammunition kept with the gun being restored is so satisfying. Proof that every part of a gun can be restored if you put forth the effort.

You should the sks restore a russian did with a gun found in the bottom of a river, I didn't think it had metal left but the guy got it to a point it could be at least shown as a wall hanger, I wouldn't trust the barrel to hold the pressure of powder.

The only thing I wouldn’t do was the finish to the wood, I would just use a scotch brite pad to clean the gunk and than use lineseed oil to clean it, the patina will still be there and will look great! Also to not get a thick film of linseed oil you need to give it a light coat, put a glove on and grab lineseed oil and put it on the wood, than wipe with cloth and repeat until it is not thirsty anymore

May it serve as a reminder and never be pointed in anger again. “Lest We Forget”.

I would strongly recomend checking the powder when reloading old powder quite closely particularly with these old bolt guns. If the powder has turned white at all or it looks like there are white bits in the powder the oxidizer has crystalized out and your load will burn faster than intended this is one of the things we think might have happened to Scott's rn 50 over on kentucky ballistics. Reload responsibly and stay safe my friends.

Reale Polverificio del Liri (royal explosives factory of Liri) developed a new propellant called "Solenite," composed of trinitrocellulose (40%), dinitrocellulose (21%), nitroglycerine (36%) and mineral oil (3%), and shaped in large tube-like grains. The new propellant reduced the flame temperatures to 2,600 °C and proved to be very stable, and was adopted in 1896 and never changed until the end of the military production of the cartridge. 6.5mm

No, Scott already disproven the "old powder" theory. What happened was, the round was too hot. It was a total freak accident. He made a video covering it where he tried firing the same round 12 times with the same gun. We all thought it wouldn't survive the 12 SLAP rounds, but it did. Although it still exploded, but not by the SLAP round. The very last round he used to make it explode was a regular .50 EXCEPT it's purposefully too hot. The gun blew the exact same way his first RN50 did. What this means is, the round that made the gun explode at Scott's face was a SLAP round too hot.

Carcanos are such lovely rifles. I've been recovering a M91 TS, but have taken a break until I have some more spare time to make her a new stock. The wood of the original is split, and I've wanted to get into Woodworking anyway, so the relative simplicity of the design feels like an excellent trial by fire.

What is the most mind-boggling for me is how the manufacturer or the former owners can never predict what will be the end of the object they make. They made it, but history made it pass hand by hand with different intents. This rifle has almost undergone one century, and yet it's back. Amazing!!

BE VERY CAUTIOUS WITH LINSEED OIL! The rags can spontaneously combust if not laid out flat somewhere away from anything flammable. This is due to the production of heat as the oil dries. Laying it out flat allows it to dry with plenty of airflow which helps to negate any potential heat buildup, preventing it from reaching the point where it will ignite. The oily rags themselves are fairly flammable as well, so keep them away from any source of flame, heat or sparks. I only say this because not everyone is aware of this, although you seem like you would probably know it. I'm a Probationary Firefighter with the volunteer fire department here in my home town, and wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you or your property so I just wanted to make sure in case you weren't aware already. I love the videos, keep up the awesome work and I hope you have a great day.

Thanks for pointing it out, I am aware of phenomenon, but I'm happy you mentioned it for others to read. The tiny amounts I used were very far from the critical amount required for a spontanepus ignition though, it's more of an issue for those who work with furniture.

@@Backyard.Ballistics yeah, I used a ton of the stuff a couple years ago when refinishing my British "Rifle, No. 5 Mk. 1". Someone had put some sort of crappy clear coat wood finish on it that was slowly flaking off and looked horrible. I sanded it off and sanded the stock with gradually finer grits of sandpaper until it was smooth to the touch. Then I hit it with at least 20 coats before it stopped soaking up the oil. Looks much better now

The transformation of the wood was amazing. It went from looking all moldy and crappy, until you scraped it and it looked even worse. Then it looked like regular wood with the scotchbrite pad, the stain made it look like new, then the finishing oil made it look like a "gun".

Finding ww2 guns in italy happens from time to time especially among builders or professions that are involved in restoration of older italian buildings, unfortunately a lot of these guns goes unreported and stays unregistered because sometimes full auto weapons on the category of "war guns" are found such as the Beretta MAB38

Two years later this motor is going strong kzbin.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

Quick tip, if you have metal on metal contact that is stuck you can heat the screw, bolt pin etc with a torch and rub candle wax around the contact points allowing the wax to penetrate far better than penetrating oils. If you run into a bolt that is impossibly seized this will save parts from being stripped or broken.
