Gun Restoration | 1940 Beretta Italian army pistol, M34 (with test firing)

#restoration #beretta
Here is a gun restoration of an Italian army issue Beretta model 1934 produced in 1940 with a "FAG" proof mark of 1939 which makes is a little bit more rare. This suggests that the handgun was made in 1940 but before october 28 1940. Or "FAG" had not gotten their official proof mark from the mint office in Rome before the pistol was made and roll marked with the 1940 date code. Of course this video will have test firing like all videos. Just a heads up to anyone who reads these, there are some huge iconic firearms coming to the channel this spring and summer. As always thanks for watching. Consider subscribing as well.

How simple and brilliant these weapons are, few things to operate, few things to break = reliability

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Absolutely, thanks for watching we appreciate it!

[@wildeleistengegend3955]

Many Wehrmacht officers wore one as an emergency pistol. It didn't jam! It was very reliable.

[@alexbellino9639]

Finally a good restoration on a REAL old gun. No fake corrosion, mud or accelerated made process just to have the piece for the job. And finally a real Beretta, the most iconic italian handgun. Thank you by an old italian.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much, we pride ourselves on doing it the right way! We appreciate you!

[@cigoLxeL]

It's amazing how many fake "restoration" video creators are unaware that plastic and wood don't rust, and will just spray an entire gun or knife down with artificial corrosion.

[@michigangeezer3950]

My son and I watched "Bad Taste", an 80's B movie horror film tonight (an early Peter Jackson film) that had a few of those. It's been so long since I'd seen one that I forgot how cool they are. Now I have to go looking for one.

[@ButtThuck]

I remember watching a "restoration video" of an AK74 that had been abandoned for decades in the dirt and mud, yet had a loaded Magpul PMAG. Must have been one of Magpuls earlier prototypes

[@johns3153]

​@@cigoLxeLbut some rust on plastic is to be expected especially flood or river guns because of rust bleeding like on vehicles you will see rust lines from metal to plastic or rubber

[@wretchedmess]

What an awesome, genuine restoration. No fake rust, etc., and great point about removing every speck of rust, including in screwholes. I like how the orange bluing turned out, and I bet that little pistol gave a sigh of relief as the last of the rust was finally bead-blasted off.

I am not into guns but that was therapeutic. I was wondering about the test firing then when I saw the safety precautions I realised these guys are not amateurs.

Yeah, I have never and don't plan on ever owning a gun. I don't even like shooting guns. But for whatever reason, I really enjoy these videos.

[@Qwijebo]

Think of it as a tool restoration. Because guns are just that, tools.

[@MrWayneJohn1]

Great job on the restoration. I purchased one of these last year, in very good condition, and the proof marks indicate it was for the Italian Air Force. No stampings on the slide indicates it was built late July to early September of 1943 after the Allies liberated Italy. Great pieces of history.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much! That is a beautiful gun! Thanks for watching we appreciate it.

[@MrWayneJohn1]

Also, this gun was very popular in many British movies and TV shows in the 1960's. Watch The Saint with Roger Moore and you will see this gun appear in many of the episodes. Who new it was a TV and movie star? 😀

[@1matsg]

I used to have a Beretta 92FS before it got stolen, it was my first and favorite semi-automatic pistol and I miss it so much. I loved how easy it was to disassemble compared to a Glock and after watching this video, I am blown away how disassembling Beretta Model 1934 from the 1940's appears to be no different than when I had to disassemble the 92FS to clean it. I find it funny with the acronym and thinking yep, this pistol suits me, LOL!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya that sucks, ya that acronym is funny! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!

[@68monstro]

L'assemblage de ce M34 me fait beaucoup penser à son "descendant direct" le Beretta 70, que j'ai possédé en 7,65mm.

[@frenchfan3368]

I personally do not like orange cor of the slide after restoration but what matters most is that this piece of history has been restored for generations to come. Well done!

[@frenchfan3368]

@@TheKinzlerBros Where did you guys find that Beretta? Was it found it in a basement somewhere and had simply been neglected for years?

I respectfully disagree. The beautiful orange pearlessence makes the piece pop and is a beautiful contrast.

That thing turned out sweet!!!!! Looks awesome!!!!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks, ya I love it!

[@megawega6370]

One of the finest results on your channel. Love the two toned look and the orange against the darker blueing. I always hated Berettas (loved the 1911's) until I got out of the military. I used to have an M34 in my collection before, but sold it in the mid 2000's. This video brings back a lot of days at the range and being asked what it was. Anyway great job on this. Such a fantastic result.

Absolute gorgeous firearm with beautiful striking color on the metals. I first imagined this was going to be one of his easier projects and would turn out very nicely and he did not disappoint ! The action of the piece seems very nice and smooth. This is my favorite firearm so far that the maestro has completed. I would love to own this awesome pistol. It would be a perfect match to my 1940 Ford Sedan ! Bravo !
