Here is the restoration of a completely rusted and seized up Colt vest pocket model 1908. This is a very small firearm that was no doubt carried during ww1 & ww2 as a last ditch effort to protect yourself. This small firearm is chambered in .25 Auto only a small amount up from the .22lr.

One of the few legitimate firearms restoration channels.
This, RestauraTo, and Backyard Ballistics are legit
Thank you very much we appreciate it a lot, thanks for watching!
your right on with that comment, i really like backyard ballistics. Thanks for the amazing compliment.@@eduardotrillaud696
@@TheKinzlerBros in fact, he has a video where he sort of teaches how to spot fake restoration videos, that's where I've learned to spot them, hence I can say you guys are legit! Keep up the good job lads!
You do realize the firearm are intentionally rusted and then restored. The only thing that's legitimate is you got sucked into believing this .
From a rusty relic to a beautiful Masterpiece, So many people over restore it's wonderful to see someone appreciate every item has a story and history behind it.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I have one in excellant condition
looks like shit with all that pitting.
I have been a gunsmith for 22 years and absolutely loved your video. Always interesting to see other’s approach to restoration. Reminds me of this Colt 1908 I restored that was left in a cheap safe in a garage.
That's impressive, thanks we appreciate it! Ya they are cool little pistols! Thanks for watching
Did u steal it? 💀
@@DieselDrinkerReal lol, no. The owner decided to have it restored.
What do you think of the Evaporust? And was the colt you refurbished finished with rust bluing?
@@tmadd1956 absolutely love Evaporust. Great way to remove rust gently. I like knowing that the product stops once the rust is gone! The Colt I restored was done with Hot Caustic Bluing.
Thank god for videos without annoying music!! So nice, pleasant and unhurried!
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
An A+ for firing them. That proves that you made them live again! Good job and good video thank you for sharing.
Absolutely, we always try to shoot them. Thanks for watching!
Unbelieveble work at a smaller product of Col. Colt. Knew a old cab driver who has got one and took it ( absolutely illegal in Berlin while cold war) for self protection for four decades. God's Blessings from Northern Germany Ludwig.
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for the story and for watching!
This is a John Browning design.
Yup, and first produced by FN, later licensed by Colt. @@elkabong662
I've a bernardelli vest pocket. Inherited it. PA brought it back from war.
very excellent restoration. That little gun would look sharp nickel plated!
Thanks we appreciate you, yes it would! Thanks for watching!
What an awesome little gun and what an even more awesome restoration. Loved it
Thanks we appreciate the kind words and support, thanks for watching!
Quality has no age!
Absolutely, thanks for watching
Love colt pistols myself. They have stood tall throughout time. Great work
Thanks Hannah we always appreciate your comments!
great work. amazing how simple they are on the inside.
Thanks, ya this one was!
Let me try again...my comment got sanitized !
You broke that spring on purpose by twisting it on the wrong way!
Anyway... something is not legitimate .the levels of rust and the amount of guns...
Yep. God bless John Moses Browning. Such a simple but yet elegant and effective design.
The complexity of the design is hidden within the mathematics though, as in spring weights and mass of components. It's a beautiful design, like the cam drive on a Harley sportster , simple and perfect because of that
I have this exact gun! My dad gave it to me and said it was my grandpa’s. I looked up the serial number, but I can’t remember exactly when it was manufactured. I think it was in the later 1920s. Great seeing that one brought back to life in the video!
That's awesome, they are a fun little pistol, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Funny, I also have that exact gun . My Grandfather gave it to me ! I think they made a lot of them.
@@joewebb4836 we should start a club
What a great little gun. I inherited my step dads Beretta 25acp, equally a pocket/vest gun. Turned out awesome!
Thanks, ya there cool. I bet its just as fun! Thanks for watching
Wow, talk about bringing somethin back from the dead. Great job.
Thank you we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I had one about this age but clean. A good accurate, reliable shooter. The work your ding is very rewarding.👍🏽
Yes they are and it absolutely is, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
I would never want to shoot something like that, but then again guns are meant to be shot and not safe queened. However I'd make exceptions for something like this or CMP 1911 and 1911A1s. I couldn't bring myself to further wear and tear a piece of History.
Thanks for showing this and saving this historical firearm.
It was my pleasure, thank you for watching!
Neat little pistol! And, again, nicely done!
You are developing a nice collection of otherwise useless firearms. Good to see them saved from the scrap bin.😊
Absolutely, yes we are! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Was thinking the same thing, was good to see some of them in action again! Great video!
Best 👍👍👍Ingushetia
Wow didn’t know this little guy existed. I learned something today thanks guys.
Ya its a sweet little gun!
Good job .....like seeing old things restored 😁👍❤🇺🇸
Thanks, me too! Thanks for watching
I enjoy watching you work bro.
Thanks Troy we appreciate it
My dad owned one. It was given to him by the first Superintendent of the Oregon State Police. It defended their home twice, without being fired, from a total if three burglars. It was made in 1911 according to its serial number. Great video!
That's cool, they are fun little pistols. The burglarizing is unfortunate! Thanks for watching!
Везёт же Вам🎉 Американцам:)! У Вас Конституция и Законы!!! Все для людей , не то , что в Европе!!! God bless the 🇺🇸 USA!!!❤
What a lovely little Pistol and a first class restoration job 👍
Yes it is, thank you very much Stephen!
Incredible job on that little Colt!!! ❤
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Great job!! It's a relief to see pieces of history brought back to life and then actually get used. Awesome ending out on the range. 👍
Thanks, yes it is. Ya it was fun to shoot. Thanks for watching!
Does it matter that these “pieces of history” kill people?
Small guns are really tough to restore.. Great job restoring it
Yes they are, thanks buddy!
Great restoration, and Im impressed with the respect for the age and history of the firearm that you show by leaving the external pitting in place.
Thank you very much, ya I don't believe in getting rid of all the pitting!
@@TheKinzlerBros "The correct amount of restoration is as little as possible."
Bravo on the Salt-Bluing! A technique that not many would even try.
No its a little caustic, thanks for watching
Wasnt much left of the rifling but the grooves but it shot well enough. Nice job bringing back such a relic.
No there wasn't but, it did shoot good! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
This is a great little firearm and it's excellent for a backup piece outstanding job boys thank you for sharing this six stars my friends
Yes it is, thanks for the kind words Joseph!
So THAT's what my fine glass bead blaster is for. I've been using mine to clean the mud off my terrier's paws. Learn something every day!
Haha, right! Thanks for watching
Amazing work! Congratulations!! People that do restorations -- gun, cars, whatever -- are my heros.
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching
Sweet little thing. Great restoration.
Yes it is, thanks for watching!
Love the restos you guys do. Be proud of the skills you have, not a lot of people have them
Thank you very much we appreciate the support and thanks for the kind words!
You, sir, are a magician! I love watching your restorations. For some reason, they please the soul.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, we are glad you like them. Thanks for watching!
С удовольствием подарил бы жене такого малыша .
Спасибо за отличную работу и видео.
Ya they are cool, thank you very much! Thanks for watching
Не советую такую игрушку дарить жене,дружище

It is always impressive when somebody does something right
Thank you very much Tony, we appreciate it!
That was one hell of a job. Well done.
Thanks Sundog we appreciate it!
Incredible work! I love to see a beautiful piece of history revived 🤠
Thanks, me too! Thanks for watching
This is all well and good but what if your Jackson 5 hole was introduced to the business end of the snubby and it went clap 😢
Colt fire arms to me are the pinnacle. I LOVE you re-bluing method. I would have polished the slide/frame and barrel action portions for functionality. but nice job. thanks for that!
Ya be careful, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. That's my first Kinzler Bros clip and I have to say that's one of the most enjoyable, peaceful 15 mins I've ever spent. Thanks, again.
Thank you we appreciate the support, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
3 awesome firearms. I have the 25 and the 45, still looking for a 32.
Absolutely, that's awesome. You will find one! Thanks for watching
I always love your restoration videos and I like your little Colt collection.
Thank you so much, ya we are getting one going!
Can't believe this gun is that old, not a gun guy but I can appreciate this
Ya it's crazy, thank you and thanks for watching!
Colt Model 9 Vest Gun, I have one, my Uncle found it in 1941 while delivering Beer. Shoots great and still in great condition.
Wow, that is some luck! Thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros Great video on this Rusty thing. So glad to see it back to life..
I had my doubts with this one, except you uploaded the video. You guys have come a heck of a long way with your videos. That fluted barrel was interesting. Nice ending with the three all firing without issue.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Understandable. A lot of restorations end with an impossible finish. And begin with rust on the wood handles. There's restorations of Glocks entirely covered in "rust". Even the magazine.
Awesome little gun you have there and a great collection of colts
Thanks, ya we love them!
Well, I definitely learned to never keep a pistol in water for more than 5 years.
Ya, don't do that! Thanks for watching
Now that was some rust. Great job
Oh yah, it was so seized! Thanks for watching!
I applaud your decision to not remove the pitting the little .25 has acquired over the years. I wonder how the finish would have turned out if you had used 0000 steel wool before bluing, just to smooth out the surface. Very nice job.
Thanks we appreciate it, ya idk. Thanks for watching!
Steel wool wont remove pits. 4/0 is a polishing medium at best
He took the rolled marks and edges off sand blasting. Now its non restored and junk
Great restoration! Great to see it still working.
I also enjoyed the comparison at the end!
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching till the end!
Muy buena restauración de la Colt Vest Pocket .25, a como estaba quedó muy bien..!! Excelente video..!!
Thanks Enrique we appreciate you, thanks for watching!
Beautiful restoration. I have one. I can't hit a thing past 10 yards with it.
Thank you very much, cool! Ya its not a long range gun!
Excellent restoration, bravo. It's a good collection 👍, the only thing missing is the 9mm caliber
Thanks Max, ya and the 22 caliber vest pocket. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful!!😊 Nice to fire the 3 at the end!
Thanks, yes it was! Thanks for watching!
I'm a retired machinist and rust has aways fascinated me. Beautiful work
Good for you, ya it's interesting! Thanks for watching Mark!
Your a patient masterful craftsman.Very nice work, enjoyed watching.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Outstanding work. That looks real good after renovation. 👏👏
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
Oil - brute force and ignorance. Works everytime! And I agree with @viaoutdoors "One of the few legitimate firearms restoration channels". Keep it up!
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I wonder how many people have died to this one...
Here's hoping that wasn't the end of it's career thanks to you.
Make me proud little gun!
Ya who knows, thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros 😈
I wondered about the use of the original barrel given the lack of rifling but it all appeared to work as it should on the range.
Ya it worked great, thanks for watching!
6:30 That little gesture of triumph when the barrel came out!
Ya you bet, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Amazing overall condition considering! 😊
Absolutely, thanks for watching
I couldn't help but to laugh when the plastic strap was cut off when you try to rotate the barrel nozzle! 😅😂
Glad we could make you laugh!
@@TheKinzlerBros Thank you... the transformation was really satisfying ☺️
.25 isn't a big round but I still wouldn't want to be shot with it. That was in pretty rough shape, good job with the restoration.
No it isn't, me neither. Thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Watching this video is very relaxing, and very interesting also, good stuff.
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job as always guys!
Thank you we appreciate it!
Grate video. And i love how you actually shot it at the end and I could watch restoration videos all day long.
Thanks we appreciate it, ya we always try to shoot them. Thanks for watching!
Persistency is the key ! You have it in bucket loads , great restoration and fine marksmanship again .
Absolutely, thanks Pete we appreciate you! Thanks for watching!
Never saw/heard of your channel until this video showed up. I am now subscribed. Great job on the restoration, I can't wait to watch more!
Welcome, we appreciate it very much, thanks for watching!
Cool. There are some unusual chemicals out there, awesome save they all had the same tone even the .25. Cool video looking forward to the next 👍
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I love my little Baretta 25 cal. Jet fire. It's been with me every day right next to me. in my toolbox for 40 years. She gets a workout and a good cleaning once a month. She's got lots of wear on the finish. But she's just as dependable as any other tool in the box.
Nice, ya it works like any other 25 caliber! Thanks for watching
Amazing restoration!! Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you very much!
Outstanding! Appreciated the steady relentless progress from rusty paperweight to fully functioning worthy firearm.
Thanks for the trip.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Wonder when we'll see the video where they turned it from a fully functioning firearm into a rusty paperwieght 🤣
Another awesome restoration you're getting yourself quite a collection of unique firearms and everyone knows anything made by Colt firearms is worth restoring one day you need to do a video of all your guns you collect it LOL
Thank you very much, ya that would be cool! Thanks for watching
One of the few actual restoration channels, wonderful work on a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much, we appreciate it!
i was recently given that exact pistol. It was my great great grandfather's. and it is still functional today.
That's awesome, they are cool!
I love watching these videos before bed. No words, just skill, patience and watching something get TLC. Question: is the blueing required or is it aesthetic taste? Thank you.
Thank you very much we appreciate it, we do it because that was the original finish. It prevents rust but, there are other finishes!
@@TheKinzlerBros gotta love some 100 y/o lil' pistol, finished in Camel tan Cerakote 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent....
Great restoration 👏👏👏
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
What a lovely project and such a nice piece. Only two springs replaced? Great job :)
Thank you very much. Ya I think so. Thanks for watching!
Great job my man love Colt love the vid full respect.
Thanks Marcus, we appreciate it!
Something relaxing and satisfying about watching this. Can't explain. Lol
Well we are glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
What a trip that these guns are still able to shoot... Colt 👌
Right, old guns are built different!
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Today's shells pack a whole lot more power than 100 years ago. Blowing off or blinding body parts is a reality
Cool seeing all three together
Ya for sure, thanks for watching
Great video! I appreciate how you've perfected your methods over time. Thanks for the nod to the .25 APC. These days that's considered to be not much but, a number of good men were put in the ground with a .25 at point blank range.
Thank you very much we appreciate it and absolutely it is very deadly! Thanks for watching
Great video! I never thought replacement parts would be available 110 years later.
Thanks, ya it's not always easy. Thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBrosLooks like it was accurate enough not to need an aftermarket replacement barrel. Good show.
Watching your videos from my country philippines amazing talent you share to restore the very old gun.
Thank you very much we appreciate you, thanks for watching!
All that beautiful work really deserves a good polished finish
Ya I know, I decided not to on this one! Thanks for watching
How wonderful!! Love your video..Very nice.It looks really nice after the renovation. That meat cleaver still has a lot of life left in it. You guys are amazing at what you do. Be even more proud of your talent! You are restoring the emotions of your past life! Another masterpiece!!!! Great job!!!🇧🇷👍😲😲😲😲😲
Thank you very much we appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching
I have one made in 1924 plus a 32 and 380 all made in 1924! 100 years old next year. I shoot all of then often. Kroil is the absolute best stuff for freeing up rusted parts.
That's awesome, yes kroil is the best! Thanks for watching
Kroil is my best friend working on my rusty old Camaro!
Ya it works great thanks for watching!
When the mag came out, I was hoping to hear that popular "ta-daaaa" meme sound. It played in my head anyway
Ya sorry, thanks for watching we appreciate it
Nice transitions ! And nice work. 👍
Thanks, we greatly appreciate it!
Very nice. I have 2 old Rifles single shot from the early 1900s one is from 1902 the other from 1917
Very cool, those are good guns! Thanks for watching
LOL @ “You just got jammed!” Reference. Gold mate.
Thanks we appreciate it!
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷! Nice job!
Welcome, thank you very much!
A couple years ago I found a a pistol hanging by a nail on a tree. I went to the house on the property and asked about it. The lady that answered the door said it was her husbands dads gun. $25 later I had it home,it’s about the same condition as this Colt. It turned out to be a Ruger Standard or mark 1 . .22 semi automatic pistol. I would really like to restore it,pretty rough though.
That's very interesting, ya it could probably be restored. Thanks for watching
Man.That was excellent. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice work!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
