RARE German Air Gun Restoration

Restoration of an vintage German Air Gun from Heyms produced in the late 50s. caliber .177. I will restore this vintage beauty and do a full shooting test.
THE AIR GUN
This Air gun is manufactured by F. W. Heym GmbH & Co. K.G. of Münnerstadt in Germany. Is a .177 caliber (4.5mm) pop out air pistol. There was only produced around 1500 of these in the time from 1949 to 1956, so it is quite rare to see one these days. The German company still exists as Heym AG and produce handcrafted, luxurious firearms. I got this beauty from my local antique dealer who had it for a long time in he's garage.
THE RESTORATION PROCESS
I disassembled the Air gun and cleaned the metal using aluminium-oxide as my sandblasting media. I also used vinegar, and the mini tumbler to all the small parts. I blackened all the small parts used heat and oil. I used black heat resistance spray paint on the gun.
There was only half a handle on the gun when I got it, so I had to craft 2 new very simple handles of Swedish oak. I gave the gun two new sealing rings and a new spring to hold the trigger. After I cleaned the barrel, I did a test shoot in the garage.

It blows my mind how knowledgeable he is. Every type of metal needs a different oil or sand or grain etc. Every material needs to be managed differently. It means every video will pretty much always be different because it has to combine so many different treatments
And then on top of this, add all the individual customisations, and manual creations. .. It's incredible

[@AwesomeRestorations]

thank you so much I really appreciate your kind words it means a lot to me 😊❤

[@saitojharry]

Just hearing the parts with the sand tumbling on the background felt good. Also, the cork popping whenever Martin opens a bottle is pure ASMR. 😊👍

Glad you enjoyed it

Excellent restoration Martin. I love that you did a simple wood gun grip to not take away from the old age of the gun itself. Keep up the good work Brother and have an AWESOME New Year.

[@AwesomeRestorations]

Thanks my friend. And yes I was actually thinking af making some really remarkable handle, but it just not fit that gun. ;-)

Now we can add gun smith to your list of abilities Martin. When I was with the sheriff's office in SW Florida I was also a state of Florida and NRA certified firearms instructor and range officer. However, I was not a gun smith, but could trouble shoot other deputies problems they had with their pistols and shotguns. A good friend who was also a firearms' instructor together we purchased a 5 stage reloading machine, tumbler for cleaning brass, weight scales, etc the two of us spent many hours making reloads to use at the range by ourselves or a few other instructors improving our firearms proficiency. This restoration brings back many fond memories to be sure Martin. I hope you and yours are healthy and safe, I'm toasting you with a Newcastle Brown Ale. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.
