These guns look like they were stored at the bottom of a dirty lake for decades. Super nice work bringing them back. I thought I knew a little about guns until I see what you can do. I know very little.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya they were severely neglected, I'm sure you know a lot! Thanks for watching

[@snowdogthewolf]

It's good to see a P64 brought back. I have a P64 manufactured in 1976... not fun to shoot, but a pleasure to look at (unissued).

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya for sure, nice! Ya they are different. Thanks for watching

[@user-vh8ce2yr5c]

so called fingerbreaker =)

[@snowdogthewolf]

@@user-vh8ce2yr5c I love the little thing... reliable, super accurate (in single action) despite the size and short sight radius but man that recoil is a bit more than a little distracting! Also , the weight of that double action is also quite insane, far worse than the 1895 Nagant.

i would recomend to polsih the gun a bit with fine sandpaper befor bluing. It will make the final result much better. Either way good job and keep making videos.

Amazing how blueing almost became bronzing, great look for the pistol. Thanks for the gel test, looks like it was nearly freezing that day making the gel more resistant but the pistol delivering 100% . If it's cold enough I guess gel could be almost bullet proof. Somehow the video was over too quickly, I was looking forward to your next restoration.

Cute little pistol. Might be a smart choice for a CC, actually. Interesting it fires the 9x18 - that is not a light cartridge. Kind of a shame the cartridge is 'out of favor.' Reassembly looked like a hemorrhoid-inducing chore. She's a beaut now, you really breathed life back into her. 🙂

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya I like it alot, it ejects the spent cartridges farther than any gun I've shot too! Ya the ammo part sucks. Thanks for watching!

[@kapanak]

I am always curious why you use WD-40 for the post-bluing soak instead of the more tried and true non-detergent motor oil or kerosene, as WD-40 does contain significant solvents mixed with its lubricant. However, it did result in a fascinating colour on that slide, so perhaps it was worth it this time. Well done, great video and pretty informative restoration.

It helps cure the hot bluing process, thanks for watching!

The magazine spring is weak, it doesn't extend fast enough to catch the slide after the last round is fired. Otherwise, not much seems to be needed; as you note, the chrome-lined barrel and chamber look just fine. Although, the return spring looked too short to me (comparing with similarly constructed pistols I have, though I don't have this model). I'd replace it (especially in the case of blowback gun).

You skipped assembling the loaded chamber indicator. Probably near to impossible to film Incan Imagine. It's pretty tricky as it is. I thought you would have trouble getting it out when rusted but it came out easier than most unrusted P-64's. That locking block T-thing can really be stuck in there. I would replace the mainspring (hammer/mag release) with an 18 or 19 pound from Wolff and the recoil spring with a 22 pound which should come with a free matching firing pin spring. Wolff also makes nice magazine spring replacements. I wouldn't trust that old one to do the job reliabily Polish the inside of the hammer pivot hole and smoothen the pivot pin too. Use a good moly gun grease or assembly lube there as well as the top of the hammer strut where it contacts the hammer and pivots. Smoothen the four corners of the hammer strut so the spring doesn't bind. Don't rounden it, keep it squarish but with smooth as silk corners. I'm not sure about that slide color but it does look unique. I'm kind of jealous since I don't own any P-64's without any ugly import marks. They mar the looks worse than the rust pitting.
