Restoration of WW2 German army walther p-38 with of course test firing. Finally got my hands on a p-38 used in the tail end of ww2 by the german army. Unfortunately this one was involved in a house fire in the States. This made it more challenging to restore with all the parts it needed. But I got it done and it works. Very pleased with it and hope you like it. Thanks for watching, Links below for socials.

You are blessed to live in a country that not only allows you to restore these old guns, but to buy the parts you need to do it. In Australia only criminals are allowed to own guns!
Ya that is unfortunate and sucks, I wish things were different! Thanks for watching
I must wonder how such a kick ass country like Australia got so many woke imbeciles in government? Your covid response was barbaric. The gun confiscation thing was facistic.
Someone should make a channel that's just the glass bead blaster, that thing is very satisfying to watch.
Ya it is very satisfying, thanks for watching!
I'm a retired Dutch police officer. I had the Walther P5 for 35 years as my standard Dutch police pistol. I loved that pistol. I never had an issue with it. It functioned perfect and I was a very good marksman with it. It gave me a very secure feeling, always being able to put the bullet where I wanted it, even in the dark, seldom a miss. I knew Walther didn't change very much in the design but I still was surprised how much those pistols are alike. I loved your video. While you were busy I almost felt the gun in my hands. ;-)
Thank you very much we appreciate it, I enjoyed your comment! Thanks for watching
Most American history books, they won't tell you that Adolf Hitler was demon possessed. He was no different compared to the Old Testament biblical historical figure named Haman. Both of these historical figures have plotted against the Jews in different time periods. Haman plotted against the Jews in 478 B.C. Persia, right where Iran and Iraq are both today. Queen Esther was on the throne at that time. Haman was a philosopher who had so much going up against Mordecai, who wasn't the Lord God's prophet. Adolf Hitler plotted against the Jews starting in February 1933; he did it during the Great depression America. ✡️
Пистолет Walther P38 являлся основой для создания пистолета Walther P1,который в свою очередь стал основой для создания пистолета Walther P5.
Be honest, how often did you feel like James Bond ;)
i am a german policeman, this was my first weapon in the 70er years. we followed an robber, my scabbard was not closed, so i lost the 38er in snow an mud. we can t find it, but: the weather changed, 5 weeks later one friend find the pistol. no scratch, no rust, shoots perfect, GERMAN MADE...😮😮😮😊😊😊
That's crazy and very lucky. Thanks for the story and for watching!
Your pistol was not a P.38, it was a P.1 (the postwar P.38 made in Ulm with aluminium frame instead steel frame made in Zella-Mehlis)
@@jcrossier20 hi, you say this and i believe it. i know, all our police weapons were storage weapons, found in the 60er years in an 65 meter deep bunker. new old stock, everyone in oil paper. our uniforms for work inside the headquarter : made for soldiers in the 1935er year, thick wool and loden. winterclothing. in summer it was horrible to wear this, much toooo warm...
You Germans are renowned for the quality of your engineering, the world ❤'s your stuff,👍.

I’m almost 60 years old and have worked on quite a few over the years. The old gunsmith’s used to say if it had been in a fire, replace every spring in it. Heat kills the temper in the spring. Great job bringing that one back.
Ya I learned the hard way, thanks for the advice and for watching!
Отличная работа! Браво мастеру! 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Heat and also electrolysis. 80 years of moisture, dirt will alter metals in strange ways through this process. Automotive radiators are an example.
Amazing how guns work and the parts in them. Some great engineering.
Absolutely, very smart people! Thanks for watching!
You and Backyard Ballistics are doing fabulous jobs on restoring historical firearms
Thank you we appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching
Megatron? Is that you? Awesome restoration!!!
Nice! Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching
Love to see them fired after fixing !
That's the best part, thanks for watching!
Excellent work, very impressive. Suggestion: include metric measurements with the Imperial ones for weights of the chemicals, temperatures, etc. It would really help viewers outside the USA.
Good ideia
Thank you very much, good idea! Thanks for watching!
I’ve got a modern (1960 vintage) P-38 that is fun to shoot. I haven’t dared break it down as totally as you did; I’m afraid I’d lose half the small bits and bobs. Thanks for the video.
That's awesome, I think you would do just fine! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
The real issue is putting the pistol all back together and you discover you forgot one small bit or bob and have no idea where it goes.
I'd be proud to own this. Nice work.
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching
Outstanding Restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much!
Great job restoring that classic
Thanks we appreciate the support!
Another fine example of a weapon damaged by fire being brought back to as near new condition , as always , accurate marksmanship Brandon , keep up the great work .
Thank you very much Pete, thanks for watching!
I was thinking those springs lost their temper from the fire good call replacing them as well as some of the other small parts. Thanks for a great restoration.
Yes they did, thank you and thanks for watching!
Awesome job of preserving history 👍
Thanks Mark we appreciate you! Thanks for watching
Turned out beautiful. I love the old luger look. Great job.
Thanks we appreciate it, ya they are cool. Thanks for watching!
Nice Job again. Think replacing the springs in any fire restoration is a wise idea as a matter of fact.
Thanks, ya it is for sure. Thanks for watching!
It amazes me that you can still order replacement parts for WWII pistols
Ya they aren't easy to find but, they are out there!
Now that is a quality Daily Carry. Gotta love the 1911 the best point shoot side arm ever.
This is a P 38 but, both are awesome. Thanks for watching
Wow huge part of ww2 history. Great work on the restore
Absolutely, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Excellent job, another great restore.
Thank you we appreciate it!
Awesome work As Always. I was happy to see the recoil springs fix the cycling.
Thanks we appreciate it, ya me too!
Nice restoring... The Portuguese armed forces also used the Walther P-38. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work!
Thanks we appreciate it. Thanks for the info and for watching!
1:00 - takedown bolt is missing 1:24 - takedown bolt appears in a fantastic way
I had to buy a few replacement parts!
Again another marvelous restoration to restore a piece of History it can be enjoyed for future Generations keep up the good work my friend
Thanks Tristan, will do! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic job restoring that P1. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️.
Thank you Donna, thanks for watching!
You never cease to amaze with your skills , another job exquisitely done , you really put back the soul into that gun again .💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate your support!
Awesome job you did restoring that P-38 gun to working order. At first I thought that it was beyond salvaging and that it was very hard to find ammo for it, since the gun was from a bygone era, but you managed to find the ammo for it, not to mention that you were able to get it to fire properly without jamming due to age. Excellent work and masterful skill.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, it takes 9mm so very easy to find. Thanks for watching!
Nice functional restoration. Always enjoy watching you work.
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Very interesting channel. I enjoyed the watching. Thank you.
Thank you very much we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Great restore on that gun! Been watching Band Of Brothers and how they wanted one these to take home!
Thanks, that's cool. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful...awsome restoration
Thank you very much!
The iconic sidearm!
One of them yes, thanks for watching!
Nice restoration
Thanks!
It must have been a pleasure restoring that gun, German engineering at it's finest !.
Yes it was, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Glad you saved it. I like P-38s alot good job.
Me too, ya they are awesome! Thanks for watching
Another amazing video on a resurrection of the Walther P-38. Excellent outcome. Your a great person on this restoration, Brandon. See you on the next!
Thanks Martin we appreciate the love, see you on the next one!
Nice job on a quality firearm.
Thanks we appreciate it!
I always thought a P-38 was a can opener for c-rations, nice piece
Well you learn something almost every day. Thanks we appreciate it!
Sé mira muy bien ésa 38 buen trabajo de Restauración 👏🏽🙂👍🏽

Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
You are a real Craftsman, Sir. Great video.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
These were very well made Pistols. I used to shoot one that a friend of mine owned, back in the 80s. It was always a pleasure to shoot. Excellent job my friend 👍👍
Yes they are, that's awesome! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
@@TheKinzlerBros 👍👍
Next level work Sir 👍
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
I have a P38 I was given. It was made in 1942 and has the waffen proofs on it. It still fires and is accurate. It is the original sig sauer with decocker for the trigger.
Very cool sounds like a beautiful gun, thanks for watching!
Excellent work saving what looked like a 'wall hanger' at the start of the vid. Look forward to seeing your next post.
Thank you very much, thanks for watching
As good as a restoration as could be done without damaging it further. I am glad you knew when to stop.
Thank you we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Very satisfying restoration👍👍
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
Great job i did not know this was even a firearm for the German army in world war 2. So I learned something today
Ya learn something new everyday, thanks for watching!
Damit habe Ich selber mit geschossen bei der Deutschen Bundeswehr, vor ca. 25 Jahren. Schön mal wieder zu sehen in diesem tollen zustand 👍🏼
Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Walther P38👍👍👍
Ya there cool! Thanks for watching
Interesting things
Yes they are,Thanks for watching
Nice restore. I do not have a P38 but a more modern post war production P1 with aluminum frame. Great guns, fun to shoot and designed for one handed shooting. Love the refinish job. The matte blueing looks great. Now all you need is a holster. .
Thanks, those are awesome too. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
This model was renamed P1 in the post war era and standard fir3arm in the German Bundeswehr. I used it as personal gun during my 4 years of service as a Paratrouper in the early 1980 ies. Very good gun, I love it. You have done an excellent job 👍👍🇩🇪😎
Very cool, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
@@TheKinzlerBros It was called Walther P!, biggest difference ist that the Post war one P1 had a Aluminium Frame, lighter, but less durable. kicks like a mule. But nice Pistol.
Michael Vollmer, auch ich hatte als Wachhabender die P1 geführt. Die schoss sehr gut
@@Orgelfan62 Jajaja...die Deutschen lassen auf deutsche Waffen nichts kommen. 😉
@@bissigerChristian warum auch, die P1 schoss gut
Have you watched The WW2 History channel?! The greatest WW2 channel on KZhead. So authentic,hard working and some of the rarest content out there! Its just a single dad and his two children. Never seen anything like what he does!
No i haven't, that sounds very interesting. Thanks for watching!
P-38 brought back my Wolfenstein return to the castle memories
That's cool, thanks for watching!
That is a beauty.👍👍
Thanks we appreciate it
Nice 👍
Thanks
Ottimo restauro un bel lavoro .BRAVO!
Thank you very much we appreciate it!
You have earned a sub! Great job restoring the gun!
Thanks we appreciate the support!
Man, Megatron really let himself go.
Haha, right. Thanks for watching!
Your restoration work is very professional, it would be wonderful if you could buy and restore other firearms like the M16A1 or FN FAl. Otherwise, great job!
Thank you so much for the kind words, ya I would love 2. Thanks for watching
After getting too good at breaking down a M-16, M-4 and M-60 (yes along time ago) it was good to see you took care to restore the springs and vital parts. I had my doubts at first, but you pulled it off with your meticulous cleaning and restoration. Especially enjoyed the test fire but would not advise shooting anything at water. It ricochets and you lose accountability of the round.
That's awesome, thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for the advice and for watching!
GREAT JOB, PERFECT REMEDY
Thanks we appreciate it!
TALENTED GUY
Thank you very much!
1:03 It's so warm and gentle to imagine that one of those pistols was fired at this damn person's head! By himself, better said!
Sorry, was just pointing out it's history!
WOLF GUN Springs ? nice job THX for showing.
I got them off numrich.com, thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros Great work there.. i get my springs at WOLF SPRINNGS there really cheep and all brand new. If you have a C&R there is a 10% discount.. that helps a little. THANKS Steve

Ya they are cool, thanks. I use evaporust. Thanks for watching!
Relaxing and satisfying

very-very nice work
Thank you very much!
Very good restoration. Try to find original grips.
I will, This was the best I could do at the time! Thanks for watching
Gute Arbeit! / Good Job!
Thank you very much!
I love your videos, its amazing how these old guns work. Thanks
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words! Ya it really is, the people who designed them are impressive! Thanks for watching!
Just a quick question, please, regarding a WW2 'standard issue' Walther P-38... (for anyone who might know): If a person stopped firing during a firing sequence (say, they've pulled off 3 rounds) and took out the magazine with its remaining rounds, without doing anything else..... would there still be a round remaining in the chamber? I presume the answer is ''Yes'', but I've been told different things from different people - mostly ''It depends on the model''.
There will be if you un jam it and put the slide forward. If you take out the next round that will go in and put the slide forward and release the clip you won't have one in there. Thanks for watching
Nice job. Great expertise
Thank you very much we appreciate it!
I'm amazed by this stuff. Are firearms so generally alike in basic principles that you can take them apart and work out the unique fine detail later> Or do you use the deconstruction video in reverse to reconstruct the parts in the right order? I have watched a bunch of these from the UK and I get lost after the third or fourth part about what goes where. This is end level boss skill to me.
Thank you very much, if I ever get stuck when putting it back together you can look up schematics and assemble videos. Thanks for watching!
well done
Thanks
Another great video of the P-38. Wonderful restoration,and the best ending is that everything works.
Thanks we appreciate it, ya that's always the best. Thanks for watching!
i love the makers marks on the slide
Ya they are all cool, thanks for watching!
Very cool, though most collectors would not want it, I would just because it is cool to resurrect an old piece of history. Great Job, and thanks for the video !
Thanks we appreciate it, ya probably not. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros astra 800
Thank you for restoring a piece of german heritage. Im proud of my people regardless of what happened.
Your welcome, thanks for watching
everytime when metal comes out of an oil bath, its like NEW BORN
Ya, that's a way to look at it. Thanks for watching!
hey @KinzlerBros, you should livestream the next gun you get, and show us the whol process from start to finish with no cuts. I at least think it'd be fun to watch
I wish it was that easy but, it takes me a couple weekends to do a gun and probably 25 to 30 hours. We could put more extras in at the end! Thanks for watching
Очень хорошая работа
Thanks I appreciate it!
Excellent work. Greetings from Buenos Aires
Thank you very much! Welcome!
@@TheKinzlerBros 😀
I love watching you bringing these sweet beauties back to our side of time.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Awesome video, love it. That P38/P1 whatever 😂 came out beautiful.
Thanks buddy, yes it did! Thanks for watching!
Another top job
Thanks we appreciate it!
That's Awesome!
Thanks!
Would have been nice to use P.38 grips instead of P.1 grips. Very interesting thanks.
Ya I couldn't find any at the time. Thanks for watching
This and the Luger are the finest Axis pistols in ww2
