Restoring the famous "Gun that won the west", The model 1873 is widely know for being reliable and very accurate. This made it the perfect firearm for conquering the Western Frontier. This particular one was produced in 1891. The high capacity lent itself to being used in battle and for hunting. This firearm has been all over throughout American history in cinema and in real life. As always I hope you enjoy the video and consider subscribing. Thanks for watching!

Historical Masterpiece. Such an Iconic weapon deserved nothing less. 🤘😎
Thank you very much, Yes it is! Thanks for watching
Beautiful work. The engineering from 150 years ago is fascinating. My father had a gold plated 1966 anniversary model and a 1967 Canadian centennial model. Always loved those things.
Thank you we appreciate it! Ya they are beautiful guns and it amazing the amount of engineering involved! Thanks for watching
The original genius that designed it would be proud to see it rebuilt so well.
Thank you for the kind words, thanks for watching!
Who sells the screws
And that old cartridge just reinforces why you always treat every gun as if its loaded! You never know!
Great restoration!
Absolutely, thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
I have that same rifle as a family heirloom been handed down for generations it actually was brought by my grandpa from Portugal in 1901 but it is a 1873 model they shot bear with it up and Figueroa mountain above Santa Barbara in the 50s in the 70s I saw my dad killed three deer with the same rifle
That is amazing and a great gun! Thanks for watching
Stunning restoration, well done. A beautiful and historic weapon. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
The engineering and workmanship for that Era was amazing
Absolutely it was, thanks for watching!
Chuck conners use one on TV as the rifleman ?
The end result is absolutely stunning! As much as I like bolt actions and milsurps I have a massive soft spot for these lever guns.
I love milsurp firearms they are my true favorite. Trying to find a m1 carbine manufactured by Saginaw S’G’ matching. For my collection.
I see stuff from people who buy from Royal Tiger Imports and what they get is trash but somehow they turn it into something very usable. Gotta respect people like that.
Gotta love a cowboy gun.
For a rifle of it's time there was a lot of work and thought that went into making it for sure.Nice to see it restored.
Ya I was surprised myself! Thanks for watching!
This was a challenge to work on. Very fun shooter though. We blew through a lot of cartridges. Hope you All enjoy it.
Of course it’s me myself
I can always tell yours aren't fake like that one channel that keeps posting the same guns.
@@bluescatreimer yea I know and when it a new one they all look the same rust wise. I give it to him that channel has great editing. But no test firing ever? Then just re posting to try and get more chances at the algorithm. Plus he has a Russian copy channel. With all the same videos and thumbnails and uploaded the same time
@@brandonkinzler3188 Yeah the same colored rust and some don't even have pits. Most of them look like they covered it with mud and let it dry.
@@bluescatreimer well I’m glad you watch our videos. Don’t be afraid to share them as we’ll help are reach.
That sandpaper & orbital 🫣😱😳🫢oooooof D@MN That hurt my soul!
But I guess not everything has to be an antique original museum restoration though. Turned out great, and it’s now a shooting king, not a white-glove safe queen. Congrats 👍
I didn't hit it hard at all, no cartouches were left! Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
What a beautiful gun, so well engineered. Excellent restoration, as usual. I would love to see a 'magical' conversation between you guys and the original gunsmiths about this rifle.
Absolutely, thanks we appreciate it! Ya that would be interesting, thanks for watching!
The '73 is a favorite among Cowboy Action shooters. Nice work and an enjoyable video.
1873 . imagining all of the history that gun has seen . just a beautiful thing . great video.
I know it's insane, thanks!
Imagine the men that owned and fired that rifle before you did. Crazy! Outstanding job on the restoration. Cheers!
Ya it is crazy when you think about it, thanks! Thanks for watching!
Una Hermosa Arma yo tengo uno pero ya es de los Mas resientes es un modelo 270 wuinchester
*Beautifully done from start to finish and the test firing is top notch too.*
*Winchester is a legend.*
Thank you very much we appreciate it, absolutely! Thanks for watching
What a beautiful rifle. Thank you for saving this piece of Americana!
Yes it is, it was my pleasure! Thanks for watching
That was super cool. Amazing job restoring that tired iron
Glad you liked it, thanks we appreciate it!
Its always a pleasure watching you work!
Thank you very much
Holy crap! Brought back from the grave. Looks gorgeous. A 133 y.o. rifle. Something my great granddad might have owned. Restored, it's practically a museum piece. Masterfully done.
Thank you very much we appreciate it! Ya for sure it's possible. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
That! is a beautiful rifle. Thank you Kinzler Brothers for saving a piece if history.
Yes it is! Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
I have one of those rifles. My grandfather bought it for $12.50 new in1873. Was offered $70,000.00for it about 5 years ago I have a box of cartages bought at Western Autofor $7.98 and recently bought a new box for $21.95.
That's crazy and ya the ammo is expensive! Thanks for watching
Another fine rifle resurrection completed by you, Brandon. Very impressive work by your brother Austin helping you with the vice. I’m proud by continuing to watch you and Austin from years ago. Puts a smile on my face, which is rare these days. God bless you and your family, and see you on the next! 🙂👍🇺🇸
Thank you so much Martin, I always love seeing your comments! You are a very kind person and I hope you have a great week! Take it easy buddy!
@@TheKinzlerBros Same to you and your brother! 🙂🇺🇸
You guys have done a wonderful job restoring this old rifle! My Grand uncle had a 45.70 Winchester under lever, we kids had a lot of fun working the lever and dry firing it.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, I bet you did! Thanks for watching
Nice to see that a Classic gets to shine again. Good Job.
Absolutely, thanks we appreciate it!
Paul Mauser : All these screws, that's for half a dozen rifles, right?
Oliver Winchester : No, just this one
...
Noise of Paul Mauser collapsing on the floor
Haha, ya there was a ridiculous amount of screws! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Excellent job. The old girl looks gorgeous and functions beautifully!
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching
I just love shows like this. I am so mechanically inept that I am always amazed at someone can take something this complicated and then get it back together. I would like to see you, not only take a gun like this apart, but then show us how you place the screws and pieces that you take off so that you know where they go when you put it back together.
Thanks we appreciate it, sometimes I put a screw in the wrong place but, I eventually figure it out! Thanks for watching
You have a formidable talent sir. Excellent work. The Model 1873 is, in my eyes, one of the most beautiful guns ever made. Glad to see it rise from the "dust".
Thank you for the kind words, absolutely it is! Me too, thanks for watching
I've got an 1892 production model '73. Totally original and well used. The stories it could tell!
That's a beautiful gun, ya it's crazy! Thanks for watching
I’ve always loved these Winchester lever action rifles since I watched cowboy films as a child. This one has seen a hard life but cleaned up very well by a talented gunsmith.
Me too, thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
There's a micro-welding tool that's similar to a TIG welder. It uses an incorporated dual lens magnifying system to fill in the pitting on older metals like on this rifle! The results are FANTASTIC!! I'm not sure of the cost, yet I highly recommend that you look into one for future restoration projects!!😁
Thanks for the advice we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Best one yet!
Thanks Steven!
That was a really cool one!
It was impressive to see that put a round through gel. Thats a decent would channel
Thanks, ya we had fun shooting it! Ya we were impressed too, thanks for watching
Holy crap this is the “gun that literally won the west”. Great lever gun. Thanks for the awesome video
Absolutely it was, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
I have a Winchester Model 1894 (Mod 94) Manufactured in 1961. From what I understand it was the last year they were assembled by hand. Mine does look a lot better than what you started with, but I wouldn't consider trading it because I bought it for my father. Your end result looked great and after 133 years I know why you pulled the trigger from a distance in the beginning.
Nice, I wouldn't either! Thanks and thank you for watching!
Watching from Ireland,great stuff altogether. I can see James Stewart in my minds eye .👍
Awesome, thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
absolute thrill to watch, awesome job
Thank you very much we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
It doesn't look it from the beginning but the gun is in better shape than you'd think ,,after you got into it you can tell great job!!! Love old guns
Thanks, me too! Thanks for watching
I've wanted a lever gun for a while. Now I want one even more now.
Great job guys!! A real beauty!!
I believe in you! Thanks we appreciate it!
Great restoration, that ol' boy still shoots good.

At least this rifle has not had fake mud caked all over it.
Ya we don't disrespect guns but, there are some channels that do unfortunately! Thanks for watching!
100 % agree
You truly are a fantastic gun smith. Just remembering where all the pieces fit together amazed me. Great video.
Thanks for the kind words, ya it takes time to get it right! Thanks for watching
Absolute brilliant work.
That Winchester looked almost brand new at the end.
Well done
Thank you for the kind words, thanks for watching!
I have that exact one that has been Passed down in my family... mine is in good condition, however i am not sure when the last time it was cleaned... this video has intimidated me because i dont think i would be able to put it back together... LOL... salute to you!!!
That's awesome, I know you can do it! Thanks for watching
I never would have thought that so many individual pieces went into the gun. It looks great. The wear tells a story and Lord only knows what happened in its service. 150 yr old piece of history
I know it was a lot more than I expected, ya that would be awesome to hear! Thanks for watching
Amazing work.
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Again, I love the two tone bluing you did. Very beautiful gun.
Thanks again, we appreciate you watching!
Fantastic restoration! A friend of mine told me his great-grandfather used a Winchester Model 1873 rifle for deer hunting in PA. Said it was his favorite rifle...
Thank you, I bet it was! Thanks for the story and for watching!
Great restore as always! Appreciate your thorough process and outcome.
Thank you we appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!
Nicely done. I'm really glad you brought this beauty back to life.

Thank you!
Awesome job man. Thx for sharing
Thank you we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Out of all the guns I'd like to fire a shooting range... this is the one.
My childhood was filled watching TV Movies and just about every cowboy had one of these.
They were way more intricate design than I realised.
Ya they are works of art, thanks for watching!
I'm more interested in where the hell you find all of these.
I’m sure he’s got a 12mo+ waiting list
Online auctions, estate sales, friends, customers, subscribers, gun shows and a couple magnet fishing!
Great Job, thanks for restoring the 38-40. Do a little more finishing on the front handguard to hide the crack! Otherwise perfect!
Thanks, ya I hear ya! Thanks for watching
😢😢😢😢 Oh 😢😢 wer kann solch eine Waffe so vergammeln lassen 😮😮 unbegreiflich ..🤔 Danke für die Restauration ❤❤
Ya it is terrible, thanks for watching!
An excellent job. But it makes you think about how good the craftsmen, engineers and designers were 150 years ago to be able to build something this complex and accurate, with none of the computer aided devices we take for granted today. They really knew their stuff back then and their level of innovation and knowledge was outstanding. Hats off to them.
Thank you, ya they were absolutely brilliant people! Thanks for watching
Wonderful job on that classic Winchester.
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
I kind of thank God for the afordable tools available from places like Harbour Freight and Amazon that make the hobbiests job more easier..
Absolutely, thanks for watching!

Beautiful work. It would be interesting to look at the inside of the barrel after shooting, then a cleaning. Just to see if some of the pitting cleared up.
Thank you, ya I will have to check it out!

just beautiful, reminds me of the horrible things I did with buffing wheels in the 80's
Thanks, alright thanks for watching
It's wild to think of what was all the stuff that came up and off when screws were removed. Sweat,dirt, blood?
That was really cool
A lot of years of neglect, thanks for watching!

I like the no-nonsense drill out the chewed up screws. It's the only thing that gets the job done. Great work guys. 👍
Absolutely, thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Cool video. You did a great job on resto.
