C'est une ânerie sans nom d'avoir jeté ca. Bravo pour la restauration
Merci mon ami ! Il a sûrement fait des bêtises avec
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 was thinking repro. You said it, brass mount. A parts replacement kit is in order.
Umberti makes some nice reproductions as well.....I've got the 1860 Colt Army.
@@keithlucas6260 I've got the same
Good eye, I would’ve assumed it was a Colt M1849 pocket revolver based on how short the barrel is
Yep, knew it was a repo 10 second in. Ok fun to take apart a “Colt ish” revolver, why? What is THAT doing in a river ?
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.
He beat a loaded black powder pistol on the barrel with a cocked back hammer. Idk how dry or wet everything was after he started working on it but it’s still like oof. Once I saw those p caps laying on the table I knew that shit was straight loaded
@@lilbrody8254 Not something I would do, mainly because my grandfather would come back from the dead to kick my ass for not listening to him. Everyone does things a little differently.
@@toddsmith4653 same here, some ancestor of mine would be shaking his head at me from above
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 will improve my technique next time, thanks !
@@PecheurDeTresors Also VERY IMPORTANT those old guns are not designed to be dry fired like in the video. You will break your firing pin among many things. It is your property and you may do as you wish but just know that.
@@Brass_Heathen - err you’re more likely to smash the nipple where the percussion cap is positioned as these 1851s don’t have firing pins
@@nicktubby3768 that's what I meant sorry.
@@PecheurDeTresors very cool find great job too but I know the knife on table it’s a florist knife very cheap but excellent steel can get razor sharp edge I use mine in kitchen all best for future dude greetings from the uk 🇬🇧👍🐾🦊🇮🇹I find a gas mixture and oil is great to soak metal in to loosen items rusted up 50/50 mixture
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.
sorry friend, I too have often found difficulties with time-encrusted screws, I don't know if you have ever tried to put the screwdriver in the slot of the head of the waist and holding it firmly give small perpendicular hammering blows that will make the encrustations give way in the thread, without insisting on turning which always ruins the head of an old screw. if you've never done it, try it. good life
@@vitangelomoscarda2522 Thanks for the tip, brother.
WD-40 is amazing stuff, and if a screw or bolt is clinging, apply heat

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
If brute force isn't working.....it's not brutal enough!
Use a chunk of leather if your going to hold it in the vice. Helps with less damage.
yaaaá
And don’t dry fire it.
@Larry Arthauer I know, dry firing damages the cones and the hammer.
Une merveilleuse travail, tu l'as donné une nouvelle vie
ouai bof c'est juste un presse papier inutilisable car pas restauré !!! juste nettoyé sommairement et brutalement au secours la crosse et l'étau !!!
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
I have improved my techniques since then, you can see my rifle restoration video, thanks a lot
I agree!
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"😊
We are french so we can’t have accès to ammos unfortunately 😔
Très belle rénovation j'adore 🔥
Merci l'ami !
Restoration of the revolver with the use of the most basic and simple tools. Very nice
Thank you very much. I don't have a big budget
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 !
Merci beaucoup oui c'est mon petit plaisir avec la dépollution. Amitiés du Sud !
Now go test fire it. Light loads first. Work up to max loads.
That would be such a sweet find.
Certainly!
Um trabalho espetacular, parabéns
Bravo le résultat est juste magnifique 👏👏
Merci 😀
Enjoyed the background music.
Suits the gun's generation
Like the music and like the fact it is not so loud it would cover the sounds of you working.
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
Merci beaucoup !
Such a beautiful weapon, I'm so glad you could restore it 👌🏻
Thanks sir !
Coucou, ouaw bravo pour la restauration, il est magnifique 🤩
All them "broken pieces" is probably what earned this one a home at the bottom of the river. Inoperable & no armourer around. Great work!
Me encanto. Excelente trabajo.
Mololets did everything perfectly! Gave a second life! 🤝🏽
Más que restauración fue limpieza 😅 Re caseras las herramientas, me encanta! felicitaciones!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Magnífico ejemplar de Colt 🤩
Herramientas pescadas en el canal 😅😉
I've been trying to find this, nice piece of art and restoration
Thx !
В конце надо было шмальнуть по бутылкам
TRY NAVY GUN WORKS , $ 199.00
Nice result. A bit brutal a times... Good job in the end.
Not a restoration, this is called conservation, that gun is way past being able to restore, but a worthwhile effort.
Idk my grandpa did something like this just not a similar gun
Would need new barrel and drum then it’s new , deffo a wall hanger
@@stevesmith9351 yeah
@@stevesmith9351 i wouldn’t shoot that thing for any amount of money!
@@stevesmith9351 that would be like replacing the whole gun it would be better to just hang it and buy a pietta or uberti
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.
LOL!!!!!!
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
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.
Wow !
What is the title of this story?
@@PecheurDeTresors I don’t know I’m not good with titles
I actually paused the video to read this.👍
Bro i cant read all of this
Génial la trouvaille et la restauration
Merci beaucoup
Tout simplement superbe !
Oh oui super trouvaille
Moi à chaque fois je me régale de vos restauration, continuez les gars, je suis fan 💪
Bravo ! La restauration est superbe, vous avez bien travailler.
Это постановка. Для лохов
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 👏👌
C’est pas une pièce de collection. C’est une reproduction italienne très moderne. J’ai exactement le même acheté neuf en armurerie.
La morale de cette vidéo : il n'y a rien qu'on ne puisse dégripper avec du WD-40 !

Bien joué mon ami ! Très jolie travail c'est tellement agréable à regarder et gratifiant de voir le résultat final 👍
Merci beaucoup, tu devrais voir celle du fusil aussi il est encore plus réussi
@@PecheurDeTresors je fais ça ;)
Great find and good job!
I wish that gun could speak!! What an amazing find!
Erm...they don't find it 🤣🤣🤣 just makes a good story
@@ElmoresGuitarsInc Not everyone is a paranoid android like you. You can’t fake the aging that the firearm presented itself with. You also obviously have no understanding of firearms. This find was 100% legitimate and backed be legal documents traces the serial numbers to that year of manufacture. Enjoy yourself !
Yup
someone probably dropped it while fishing they only go for 199$ new so the owner probably didn't want to waste his time getting it back
COLT DID NOT MAKE A BRASS FRAMED '51 , NOR HALF ROUND BARREL. LOOK THAT UP !
Awesome restoration 👌
Loved the music.
Always the hammer with these people. Soak it in a gallon of diesel fuel for a week next time.
I use Penetrating oil .works really well. have not tried diesel fuel.
I’m more concerned about the hard steel knife than a block of wood
Lol ya painful to watch in some spots
i wil try that
J'aime beaucoup, Excellent!
Un grand merci !
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 :)
C est une réplique arme plus récente 🙂
Replique italienne pietta ou uberti... recente...
The Colt 45 would love that kind of piece on my shelf .
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!))
Стрельбы в видео не вижу. Этот револьвер заряжался с барабана, посему пули использовались оболочечные. А свинцовые без оболочечные пули предназначались для револьверов, заряжавшихся в барабан со ствола.Иначе оболочечную пулю нарезі в стволе не пропустят. Если в стволе раковины, стрелять из него опасно.
@@user-ko9em2ev3i да ладно, по сепарам можно))) Спасибо что вернул Крым! Сало Уронили!
Sono sorpreso dall'ottima condizione della pistola dopo essere stata sott'acqua per cosi' tanto tempo! Awesome video :)

better yet how does he know it was ten years underwater.

Я представляю сколько на этом револьвере жмуров.
Это не про бывший СССР. Повесят всех и еще за изготовление и хранение...
Если его кто-то выкинул,то почему-то!!! Либо жмуры,ли ворованный ,ли бо в розыске по разбою( что вряд-ли так как револьвер реплика под старину и с таким на гоп-стоп никто не пойдет,а спереть у коллекционера или случайно грохнуть любовника жены или неугодного родственника и концы в воду - запросто. И в воде ,судя по ржавчине он пролежал пару тройку лет,небольше. нарезы для экспертизы скорей всего сгнили ,но номер точно остался. Так что всех собак могут повесить, не смотря на то что Америка. Объясни копам откуда у тебя револьвер с номерами из розыска

Nice job on an American classic. I would love to find something like this to restore.
This appears to be a copy/reproduction. Otherwise the frame would likely be steel or iron. I think you can find cheap copies of old percussion pistols for about $300+

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.

Merci beaucoup !
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...
It's a reproduction
