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 .
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.
That grip safety that was used in those early colt semi-auto pistols was well ahead of its time 👍👍
Ya they invented it, thanks for watching!
Thank god for videos without annoying music!! So nice, pleasant and unhurried!
Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
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.
@@TheKinzlerBros
Some restorers think a relic such as this must be restored to like new condition.
That maybe appropriate for some articles, but not for those with more than 100 year History of near ruination!

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.
Something relaxing and satisfying about watching this. Can't explain. Lol
Well we are glad you enjoyed it, 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
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
Wow, talk about bringing somethin back from the dead. Great job.
Thank you we appreciate it, thanks 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
Much appreciation for leaving the worn surface in tact. One of a kind and a great restoration.
Ya, I'm never going to take away markings and stamps! Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
@@TheKinzlerBros , а если сохранились номер на оружии, его можно законно зарегистрировать?
I absolutely hate the fact that this item was manufactured for one purpose. But I love the dedication to your craft and skill. Well done mate.
I hear you, thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
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
Love colt pistols myself. They have stood tall throughout time. Great work
Thanks Hannah we always appreciate your comments!
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?
I used to have a little Beretta .25 that looked just like your Colt. Perhaps one was a copy of the other? Anyway, I bought it off a guy in Colorado in the '70s. I think I paid $30.00 for it. Then I sold it a short time later. There was an old abandoned combine along the side the barn in farmhouse we rented that we used to use for plinking. A .22 LR had no problem penetrating the sheet metal sides of that rusted out old machine but that .25 barely dented it. It was cute as a bug's ear tho. Thanks for sparking the memory of younger days.
I'm happy to hear your good times,thanks for watching!
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 😢
very excellent restoration. That little gun would look sharp nickel plated!
Thanks we appreciate you, yes it would! 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.
Quality has no age!
Absolutely, 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!
All that beautiful work really deserves a good polished finish
Ya I know, I decided not to on this one! Thanks for watching
Thanks for showing this and saving this historical firearm.
It was my pleasure, thank you for watching!
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
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
@@wanderer305 моя спокойно попадает в донышко бутылки , через горлышко с 50 м. Я думаю , с такой штучкой она справится;)
@@johnwall3471 да, по банкам пойдет.
I prefer not only restoration,but with firing test, better nice
Ya we always try to shoot them, 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!
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."
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!
One of the few actual restoration channels, wonderful work on a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much, we appreciate it!
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!
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!
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!
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 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
I enjoy watching you work bro.
Thanks Troy we appreciate it
Incredible job on that little Colt!!! ❤
Thank you, thanks for watching!
I wish i had this guy to rebuild my airrifle.. 👍👍👍👍👍
I wish I could help. 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.
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!
6:30 That little gesture of triumph when the barrel came out!
Ya you bet, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
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!
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
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!!!❤
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!
Excellent work .
Thank you!
Most people would have tossed that old rusty gun in the trash. Great job on the restoration. The bluing procedure was nerve wracking.
Right, thank you very much! Ya it can be dangerous. Thanks for watching
No they wouldn't
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!
Wow didn’t know this little guy existed. I learned something today thanks guys.
Ya its a sweet little gun!
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
As soon as he whipped out the kroil, i knew this was a legit restoration
Absolutely, 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!
Outstanding work. That looks real good after renovation. 👏👏
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
Kroil for the win! Oops i mean Evapo-Rust for the win! Great video
Both, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Tak tohle je opravdu zajímavá zbraň na osobní ochranu malá, skladná a proti měkkým cílům z blízka dost účinná👍
That is what it was meant for, thanks for watching!
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.
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
That zip tie trick is fabulous, after years of covering my pliers in tape to avoid damaging things
Thanks, ya that was me too until I tried this, thanks for watching
.25 ACP was good enough for James Bond! Lovely restoration work, well done
Ya it'll work up close, 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!
That was one hell of a job. Well done.
Thanks Sundog we appreciate it!
I really liked the way you safety checked for a loaded gun, first thing. Good practice!
Absolutely, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Good job .....like seeing old things restored 😁👍❤🇺🇸
Thanks, me too! Thanks for watching
What a lovely little Pistol and a first class restoration job 👍
Yes it is, thank you very much Stephen!
Beautiful!!😊 Nice to fire the 3 at the end!
Thanks, yes it was! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work. Just a thought on the inside flats and magazine. Before bluing have you ever thought about using valve lapping compound on the flats to improve the barrel cycling? And maybe the magazine would slide in and out a little easier.
Thank you, no I haven't. Thanks for the advice and for watching!
Sweet! I like easy and simple construction of colts, which can shoot in any conditions
Me too and absolutely, thanks for watching!
Small guns are really tough to restore.. Great job restoring it
Yes they are, thanks buddy!
It's a shame this firearm was neglected for so long. Well at least it has a 2nd chance at life thanks to the Kinzler Brothers!
Ya it was for sure, thank you we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Bravo on the Salt-Bluing! A technique that not many would even try.
No its a little caustic, thanks for watching
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
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 have this same gun. Bought it some 30+ years ago. It runs flawlessly, has never failed to feed or eject. I Think I gave 50 bucks for it.
That is a steal nowadays! Thanks for watching
I still have mine as well, the Nickel plating is still in really good shape.
My great uncle bought one new and carried it all over the country as a traveling salesman. I Still have it and the box and price tag that came with it.
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 ☺️
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!
Nice thing that you count parts better than how you count bullets!😂
Nice work!
Ya, thanks for watching
the guy is very gentle with the gun, very nice to watch. from Russia (English

Thanks we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
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!
Sweet little thing. Great restoration.
Yes it is, thanks for watching!
My great uncle had almost that same handgun at his place when I was a kid in the 80’s. A Colt 1903 hammerless. I remember so well because it was blue, and I always thought that was soo cool.
Ya that is the gun in between this and the 1911! We have one to, ya they are awesome, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Love evaporust, use it in my resto work all the time. Great vid.
Ya it's awesome, thanks for watching!
Excellent....
Great restoration 👏👏👏
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
Awesome little gun you have there and a great collection of colts
Thanks, ya we love them!
Very nice! You've turned it back into a collector's item. Congrats!
Thank you we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Looks pretty much like the FN 1905 Browning I had under my desk as a bank teller. Could strip it in my sleep.
Ya I can see that, that's good! Thanks for watching
Outra excelente restauração! ☺️👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Marcio!!
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 🤣
So nice to see a GENUINE restoration and not some fake painted on mud etc!! Great job, and nice that you kept it as original as possible. Thank you & greetings from South Africa.
Thank you very much we appreciate it! Welcome to the channel
@@TheKinzlerBros absolute pleasure! Thank you for producing amazing videos! 🙏👍😉
Great video. I can't imagine how satisfying it must have felt to squeeze off a few rounds in that little pistol after all the work you put into it.
Thank you we appreciate it! It is very satisfying, thanks for watching!
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!
How did this pistol befall this rusty condition?
It's in the description! Thanks for watching
woa outstading work man !!!
Thank you very much, thanks for watching!
That was oddly very satisfying to watch! 👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
.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
Amazing overall condition considering! 😊
Absolutely, thanks for watching
So cool to see a restoration on this!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Definitely an awesome video!!
Thanks Nathan, we appreciate it!
Great job as always guys!
