C'est une ânerie sans nom d'avoir jeté ca. Bravo pour la restauration

That is actually a Griswold & Gunnison reproduction- the brass frame combined with the octagon-to-round barrel is the giveaway. It was the Confederacy's version of a reverse-engineered Colt Navy. Pretty neat find in a river- it's awesome to see one put back into some "usable" condition. Great work!

I would soak it in “Knocker Loose” for a month are two! Never rush removing rust and such; allow time for breaking down rust and other impurities! A nice find!

I don't know that I would have beat the snot out of it with a framing hammer, but I probably wouldn't have gotten it apart as quickly. You can't argue with results, and you got plenty. Fun to watch, and great job.

I know you found it,it's yours and you can do what you want to it but I found myself wincing at this rather brutal restoration. Electrolysis is effective, cheap and very easy to do. I would follow it up by soaking in diesel or similar for a few days. Routine stuff for metal detecting and magnet fishing finds. Great find by the way!

I am amazed at how easy the screws came out. I have bought used black powder guns that were harder to get apart. Overall, it looks to be in decent shape inside of a find. This was an enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing.

Bravo, thanks for sharing a piece of American history.

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen anybody do.

Nice restoration even though methods are brute, you still got a talent bro

Use a chunk of leather if your going to hold it in the vice. Helps with less damage.

Une merveilleuse travail, tu l'as donné une nouvelle vie

Mais um excelente trabalho!!!

Parabéns! Ótimo trabalho.

Well at least you got it done. Your disassembly and reassembly stressed me out but we all do it different. Cool find

The finds, the tressure guns. I'm blown away.

Absolutely amazing! I fully expected the minute of this excellent video to show you loading and shooting the piece.😁 I love your "wooden mallet"😊

Restoration of the revolver with the use of the most basic and simple tools. Very nice

Très belle rénovation j'adore 🔥

Finally we can prove Andy's innocence and get him released from Shawshank!

I'm a paddy, bang on with the Irish music there,

Que boulot, quel ravissement, je comprend mieux ce que tu me disait, ya toujours un trésor dans les récupérations ! Amitiés du breton !

That would be such a sweet find.

Um trabalho espetacular, parabéns

Bravo le résultat est juste magnifique 👏👏

Enjoyed the background music.

I got a 1851 Colt Navy out of a lake about 8 years ago, I still have it she's a beauty.

WoW!!! Gun repaired !!! Brilliant !!!

Salut .Sympa .Je suis étonné par la longueur du canon . Il a l'air petit comparé au reste !!!Très belle arme . J'ai pu tenir un vrai pacemaker on en avait pour son argent a l'époque . Ils sont super lourd . A+

I have that exact model. I love it. You did a fantastic job restoring it.

Génial ton travail bravo

Such a beautiful weapon, I'm so glad you could restore it 👌🏻

Coucou, ouaw bravo pour la restauration, il est magnifique 🤩

I've been trying to find this, nice piece of art and restoration

All them "broken pieces" is probably what earned this one a home at the bottom of the river. Inoperable & no armourer around. Great work!

Más que restauración fue limpieza 😅 Re caseras las herramientas, me encanta! felicitaciones!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Magnífico ejemplar de Colt 🤩

Mololets did everything perfectly! Gave a second life! 🤝🏽

Nice result. A bit brutal a times... Good job in the end.

Me encanto. Excelente trabajo.

Not a restoration, this is called conservation, that gun is way past being able to restore, but a worthwhile effort.

Experience has taught me that weapons tossed in deep bodies of water usually have bodies on them. Congrats you found Billy the Kid robbery revolver.

Отличная работа мастера по восстановлению 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏

Linda arma e impressionante o quanto tempo ela resistiu debaixo d'água.

I bought a kit from Sears of this gun in the 70s. It was fun.

Hey never let the ppl tell u it won’t fire u got this

Génial la trouvaille et la restauration

Bravo ! La restauration est superbe, vous avez bien travailler.

Tout simplement superbe !

Moi à chaque fois je me régale de vos restauration, continuez les gars, je suis fan 💪

Far away in a small village in Mexico lives a retired sailor from Ireland. One day a group of bandits goes into town and starts makin a ruckus . The old sailor minds his business as best as he can to not get killed but he has sympathy for everyone being oppressed by the bandits. One day the sailor did what he does best and that was go fishin , well on this particular day he didn’t catch no fish but an old 1851 navy wheel gun . He marveled at the dirty old thing and felt inspired, he knew just what to do . So he wastes no time in cleaning the gobs of dirt and muck from the revolver as he works under the dim lantern light . As morning came he soaked the metal pieces he took apart in a bucket of vinegar to remove the rust , tired but determined he quickly and quietly heads to town and spends what little money he has on some metal parts and a neat little diagram the shop keep let him have when asked about . The man takes the long way home so as not to be noticed and in his quiet home where no one goes the old sailor continues his labor . He scrubs the rest of the filth and bile right off the ole work horse returning her to some semblance of its former glory. With the parts from town , some more oil in his lantern for the dark house in which he dwelled , and that handy little diagram the shop keep gave him the old sailor went back to work . He thought of his life back in Ireland and what could have been but remembered why he left and also why he stayed ( in Mexico) , and as he did so he reassembled the old parts now shining with new life , he starred at the diagram and at the parts and back again until eventually burning the image into his mind but until then he continued to reference it putting the grips back on and then the cylinder followed by the barrel and every thing else . He finally had a newly working gun . He went over to a drawer and opened it in that was an old hickory box , he dug it out of the drawer and sat the gun down next to it . He slowly flicked the latch on it upwards as it made a hissing sound , he paused a moment and then lifted the lid of the box . Inside there were many things , trinkets of a time lost long ago but what was important here was the five or six paper cartridges and six or seven or so percussion caps inside . He was given these long ago by someone he’d rather not think about “hold on to these for me until I need them” he remembered someone say . Out loud he said to himself “sorry but I guess I’m the one that need em now” . He loaded the gun and headed out of his shack he called a home looked towards the direction of town but not before grabbing the biggest reddest apple off the tree in his yard taking a bite and putting his newly assembled pistol in between his belt and under his jacket. The sailor walked to town admiring the now sunset beside him as he marveled at the time gone buy to craft his weapon . When the sailor got to town he saw a bandit harassing a beautiful woman , he interrupted the thugs awful flirting with the question “where’s your boss” to which the thug replied “who are you and why do you want to know ?” The sailor stopped and paused before saying “I’m nobody and I’ve got something to give him” then the bandit said “oh” and pointed to the saloon where it was loud and rowdy but the people inside had a tense look to their face , as he stepped inside it was blatantly obvious who ran the show , there was a big man with a big mustache and two woman around each arm with a glass of bourbon in one hand a hand full of cards in the next he was loud and enjoying himself as he played poker with the other outlaws . The sailor walked right up to the bandits chief and loudly asked “you in charge of these thugs ?” To his surprise instead of the usual violent outburst everyone in the room was expecting he simply answered with “Yea ! What’s it to you ?” And the sailor said loudly and sternly “I want you and all your thugs out of this town today” to which the bandit chief said “YOU DO !And what’s gonna happen if we don’t ?” He said gruffly . “You’ll be good as dead and cold as stone that’s for sure” said the sailor . And then the bandit rose from his chair slowly and said to him “Oh yea well I’d like to see you stop me from stayin !” His words were heavy and he stood at least a head y’all over everyone else , across from the table the bandit chief stared daggers into the sailor but not to the bandits desired affect , he leant down putting both fists on the table and said right to the sailors face “well ?” And with cold eyes the sailor said “i warned you” and in a flash of fury the bandit stood strait up and grabbed a large Bowie knife from his hip his eyes red with anger for the man before him wore down his patience completely and ruined his good time , as he started to lean forward in the attempt to stab the sailor he himself drew the pistol with lightning quick speed and blasted a whole in the center of the bandits chest knocking him backwards, his enormous weight crashing into the wall behind him . Every single person in that saloon and a few outside as well was in stunned silence as they saw what happens before them the minute the sailor crossed the saloons threshold . “Anybody else want some ?” Said the sailor another bandit this one of normal size tried grabbing the dropped knife before receiving some hot lead to the brain and then the other bandit adjacent to him twitched a little too quickly and bought a box in the ground. The sailor turns around , hands at the read “if y’all don’t want some too you’d best get out of town and never come back , the two out laws shook their heads yes and ran out side as the sailor walked outside he saw a confused and angry bandit the same as the one before with the woman loom at him , the sailor cocked the gun one last time and the man across from him suddenly grew calmer before huffing and walking off towards his horse never to be seen again . After that day the town got a lot quieter and the old sailor never had to pay for anything again when he went to town , not because the people feared him but because they were grateful . And that was the story of how a little town got their first sheriff.

Lucky lucky you. She's a beauty. I'm actually hoping to order this model as my first gun tomorrow. Hope it looks as pretty in person as in pictures and video. Oh, and great job!

Fascinating.. well done.

Sympa les abonnés du monde entier. Restauration quelque peu...brutale par moment mais good job ! Belle pièce de collection 👏👌

La morale de cette vidéo : il n'y a rien qu'on ne puisse dégripper avec du WD-40 !

Impressionnant !!

Great work. Thank you.

Bien joué mon ami ! Très jolie travail c'est tellement agréable à regarder et gratifiant de voir le résultat final 👍

Great find and good job!

I wish that gun could speak!! What an amazing find!

Awesome restoration 👌

Loved the music.

J'aime beaucoup, Excellent!

Always the hammer with these people. Soak it in a gallon of diesel fuel for a week next time.

L'état du truc est impressionnant! On penserait pas qu'il a passé 150 ans dans la flotte (même avant restauration l'état est surprenant). J'aurais dit bien joué blondin mais ça marche pô :)

Good job it's a functioning pistol

Muito bom parabéns, 👍👍

У таких револьверов пули были из мягкого свинца без латунной оболочки, и это значит что даже с поврежденным коррозией стволом можно успешно выстрелить!))

Very expensive weapon i just saw videos of these nice find even for a wall hanger

The Colt 45 would love that kind of piece on my shelf .

Nice piece of history you have there! Great work! So cool to bring something like that back to life!

One of the best video's on youtube i've seen at the moment, i am very sorry for the broken barrel though. Anyway, keep it up! This is amazing!

Sono sorpreso dall'ottima condizione della pistola dopo essere stata sott'acqua per cosi' tanto tempo! Awesome video :)

Nie wierzę żeby w takim stanie w wodzie rewolwer pistolet tyle lat był to tak specjalnie do filmu zrobione ale pięknie jest odrestaurowany za to pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍👍

Вообще просто чума!!!браво!!!

Someone asked me “how does he know it’s a Navy pistol?” And I said “he found it in the water didn’t he?”

Bravo. Good job.

Très beau travail de restauration

Salut Quentin ! Quel boulot... On voit que c'est vraiment une passion pour toi ! Magnifique travail ! 👍

Excelent vídeo!!

Une merveille bravo

Du beau travail rien a dire merci pour cette vidéo

Parabéns meu amigo ficou top demais 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Saudações do Brasil.

Definitivamente ese es un revólver Colt Dragoon de 1849!.

Bonjour, que du bonheur de voir la restauration de ce bel objet 🔫 😉

Bravo...beautifully done 💘

Я представляю сколько на этом револьвере жмуров.

Nice job on an American classic. I would love to find something like this to restore.

Superbe travail

Beautiful Restoration

My dad and uncle were out in the desert decades ago, my uncle just happened to look down while standing on some large rocks, and found an old revolver that must have been there for a hundred years or more. A gun shop here in town offered a very generous amount for it.

Super satisfaction pour vous et aussi pour nous les abonnés de voir le travail que vous faites pour redonner vie à tous ces objets ,j 'ai hâte de voir les prochaines vidéos pour savoir si ces armes sont dans une vitrine

Whoever dumped it did you a favour. the voltage potential gave it a nice look.

Chapeau 👍 bravo

About 20 years ago I gave my dad an 1849 Colt .36 Navy revolver for his birthday

Excelente trabalho parabéns.

Cc les frérots ! Comme d'habitude je n'ai pas pû lâcher l'écran avant la fin. Beau travail. Résultats au top 😍 amitiés et papouilles à Rasta 😘

Bloody awesome mate

BRAVO EXCELENT

При сборке оружия, издаются характерные звуки. Они греют душу, радуют сердце. Музыка....💖❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

My favorite gun... And ya, here's your English comment y'all looking for!

I just started this video & want to say, What a BEAUTIFUL & VALUABLE FIREARM! I AM HOPING THAT YOU TAKE THE PAINSTAKING TIME TO PROPERLY RESTORE IT! Such a valuable pistol in not abandoned unless there is criminal means such as assault, shooting, death, or if it was stolen. Wow, I really hope that you have wood or rubber separating the pistol from the vice? Carving with a knife, pounding with the wooden handle isn't as bad but, prying with a metal screwdriver instead of a softer metal like a brass punch. After all, wouldn't you want it to be worth as much as possible & look it's best? That pistol is still in very good shape once the barnacles are removed depending upon the bore & rifle lands...
