Gun Restoration, 1841 British Officers Musket with sword

[@zeekwolfe6251]

The best restoration videos feature the restorer wearing black gloves. I can see why this is a great restoration just by the color of your gloves. A great job and thanks for the posting.

Nice to see someone using the correct size of screwdriver for the screws they are working. Thank you for an excellent restoration !

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much and thanks for noticing and watching

[@zoiders]

Ordinary slotted screw drivers are not the correct size. Gunsmithing screw drivers are entirely flat sided with no taper.

‘I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if dozens of internet patina purists suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly left speechless. I fear something terrible has happened, something terrible involving wire wool’. You guys have done a lovely job here, great (and rare) to see the weapon brought back to it’s former glory and ready to go on parade. Good stuff. 👍🏻

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much, thanks for watching!

[@HoveySmith]

The gun is a Brunswick smoothbore. It was issued to NCOs so they could keep up with the other ranks slower loading their belted ball rifles. I have restored both. I do not take my restorations to this extreme and prefer to leave the guns in shootable condition with much of their patina and all original markings remaining. The 1841a were percussion versions of the Brown Bess.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks for the info, this was one of my earlier restorations. I try to keep it as original as possible. Thanks for watching

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much we appreciate it, ya there are plenty of finishes that we like too, this is just what we did on this one, thanks for watching bud!

[@UserUser-ww2nj]

Yes , that glossy finish was very unsuitable for the rifle / musket . Also that big crack in the stock should have been sorted out , not hard with some PVA and sawdust

[@garycorbier9123]

Looks like you used tru oil Only thing I found tru oil good for is filling the pores of a stock and sanding it smooth. Too glossy. Other than that It's a Great Job..

[@draklord18283]

That is a percussion cap musket, firstly you would need a percussion cap that fits the size and a paper cartridge, bite off the tip of the cartridge and stuff the entire cartridge inside the barrel, secondly pull out the ramrod and ram the cartridge 2 or more times down the barrel, pull the hammer to half cock and throw away the old cap and insert a new cap. Finally pull the hammer to full cock and pull the trigger when ready to fire.

[@dat219]

You are a fine, talented gunsmith. It appeared the screws and other parts apart came untightened with ease. Did you have to prep them with a WD-40 or a lock break before you unscrewed them ? Totally wonderful restoration. To bring back the chrome luster and blue , and awesome glory of the wood of an almost 200 year old rifled musket was inspiring. You did honor to the original maker and gunsmith . Thank you.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words! I probably used kroil on the screws. Thanks again and thanks for watching!

[@bigarg]

Interesting to see how others more advanced than I go about restoring/refurbishing old guns. Essentially, it looks new, like a piece in a museum, a high-end museum. I had a lot of thoughts watching this at various stages. At first, I thought the metal polishing was going a bit too far, but then I reflected on the pride of the British military from years past, and this being an officer’s musket, I’d be surprised if it didn’t originally have a polished brass. I liked the impact of the fine glass blasting on the steel/iron parts though. Cleaned those up to new and smoothed them out. To me, that’s a much better technique than steel wool, which tends to leave little bits of metal behind, that, especially on a muzzleloader, will later rust and stain. Also left a great looking finish. The only thing I’d suggest or recommend is the one thing I’ve learned from a few “old-timers,” and that is the importance of a few applications of boiled linseed oil to anything that isn’t going to see tung oil. Specifically, to the wood surrounding the lock, the breach plug, and the barrel channel, as well as under the patch box cover and buttplate. That wood is 180 years old, and old wood that old will be very dry and brittle/crumbly. From what I understand, boiled linseed oil seeps into the dry pores of wood, or the space that has opened between fibers, and then polymerizes in the space, strengthening the wood and making it more resistant to cracking under impact. This is especially important if a weapon is going to be fired, but is good for the wood anyway. Thanks for this and your other videos, it gives me inspiration and education!

Yours was in much better shape than the one I got. Mine had a cracked stock and was missing the nose cap as well as the box lid. But she cleaned up nice and would be shootable if I could find a new stock. My lock looked the same as well. Covered in some sort of grease and was basically brand new once the grease was removed.

My 1837 Brunswick rifle condition looked about like your 1841 Brunswick. It came with a new patch box that i fitted. The bayo didn't come close to fitting so i fitted it also, i had to open up the T slot inside the grip. Everything cleaned up great retaining all orig finish on wood & metal (unlike yours) untill i got to the breech threads, they were totally rusted out beond use. fortunatly a good friend & great gunsmith repaired the threads for free.

I've done a couple of these IMA guns, they can come out nice. They weren't found in a factory though, it was an old mansion that the Nepalese government had used as an arsenal. They were stored in really bad conditions and a lot of the brass parts were stolen over time which is why your original patch box cover and butt plate were gone.... There is a guy who has been recording all of the trigger guard markings for a data base and can translate them for you if you're interested in knowing what unit your musket was issued to. The last one I worked on was a P-53 that had so much grease soaked into the stock I spent hours with a hot air gun bringing it out.

[@steveh7823]

Great work and fascinating video! There is an interesting dilemma behind restoration, to retain historical credibility but to still unwind the decay and neglect of 180 years. Certainly the brass and steel parts would have been polished to a high gloss by troops in 1840. But the high gloss woodwork looks wrong. What a beast of a gun! Especially when you think that adult males were considerably smaller than today - look at the old uniforms in museums, some would hardly fit a 12yr-old today.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

Metal parts would not have been burnished to a mirror shine - just kept clean at a factory satin finish. That overpolished stuff looks as wrong as the wood. Look like a cheap nonfiring repro of the kind American tourists buy as souvenirs of European cities.

[@brittakriep2938]

A sidenote from Germany . When there was US - Independence War, british troops had no units with rifles, only smoothbore muskets. To counter US riflemen , British Gouvernement hired german troops including Jäger units, formed first of hunters and forrest officials. Their sidearm had been traditional Hirschfänger, for military use with longer blades. First riifles and swordbayonnets for real british troops looked rather german. Also this rifle still has a german ,touch'. It is the trigger guard, which tries to be a kind of pistol grip. Last riflemodel especially for german Jäger units ( Jägerbüchse M71) had only a ,finger hook' at trigger guard. Also the swordbayonnet looks rather similar to german military Hirschfänger. Civilian versions with shorter blades are today still sometimes used by civilian huntsmen, but only for huntsmens ceremonies.
