In this video of Gun Restoration, I'm going to remove the rust from a gun model: Astra Cadix 38 special, the gun was destined for demolition, so I paid 100 euros for it. I thought the gun was very damaged, and I didn't think I could restore it, but at the end of the gun restoration I managed to remove the rust from the gun completely. The restoration of the gun was very difficult, but it was difficult to completely disassemble the gun, the restoration of the gun was completed perfectly.
I do not do the fire test with the restored gun because I have to first check if after the restoration of gun, the gun restored can fire safely after the restoration and not explode in my hand 🤕
I make every process with self made instrument, like hot blueing, and nickel plating, for restor in cheap mode the gun.
At the end of gun restoration video, the gun look like new.

Those of us from the USA envy Europeans and eastern countries having the ability to use a metal detector and finding MG42’s , PPSH SMG’s etc right in the ground. I’m sure so savvy people have used this method on some good finds and have them stored away for a “rainy” day. Haha 😆
I'd rather go for your 2nd and being able to buy them, trust me
We also find land mines, bombs and grenades which can go off as soon as your shovel goes near them, and it’s not like we can actually use them when we find them.
You envy a place without the 2nd amendment?
@@mlyniecm 🤦♂️
You envy the destruction of countries and the deaths of millions of people just to be able to find guns in the ground..... wow.....
Wow. you have certainly outdone me. I bought an old broken break top revolver for 130, but after stripping it, it was only missing one spring. You did a lot more work, and I loved watching it.

@@hallofguns8174 I have one as well fantastic little piece of history cherish that gem thank you for the reply
Another amazing video and restoration, thank you!
What surprised me the most, I think, was the complexity of a relatively "simple" gun. Who'd have thought there was so much in it?
Most people think that revolvers are simple guns but in fact they mostly have lots more moving parts than a SA pistol
Thanks for posting this. My father's S&W 22 revolver he carried as a personal gun in the Marine Air Corp during WWII in the Pacific looked much like this after the storage unit it was in was flooded and the owners of the place did not let me know. I've serviced revolvers before, but thought this might be gone. At least with what you did here, I can restore it as a keepsake even if I never fire it again.
Again, many thanks.
Hope it turns out well!
My S n W j frame completely rusted about a year in. Never been 💥 🔫. Sent it back to them wish me luck.😏
i hope you were successful in your endeavor.
Now of to the range for firing and accuracy check.

Really enjoyed this video! Nice that it had no talking, just explanatory captions when needed. I am an amateur smith myself and enjoy bringing old or damaged guns back to life. Did an old S&W revolver for a friend recently that also had excessive pitting, so I just polished what I could without removing serial numbers, etc, then cold blued it. Looked 90% better than before! Great job…subscribed! Wish you had a nice old Colt or S&W to do but they don’t come along in that kinda shape often, or are too expensive to start with.
Me too, lots of work went into this.
Since I am a gunsmith, and have a personal love for wheel guns, I really appreciate this video. Great work. Looks like the cylinder lock-up is nice and tight.
How someone could let a firearm fall into such a sad state of disrepair is beyond me.
You go to Murray state?might of seen you pal.
Looks like the rust has been intentional/manufactured for the video
@@RJ-zm3tr hopefully thats not true, its horrible to think someone would purposely do that to such a nice gun
@@RJ-zm3tr indeed. acid can rust metal like this
@@RJ-zm3tr I thought the exact same thing, especially with the ease in which the outer layer of rust was removed. The pitting in the rifling and on the frame did not match the extreme level of rust. It's just clickbait.
I had a similar experience restoring a 1911 once. Me and my wife spent the better part of a day in a bus station in Manila. I noticed a security guard with a rusty old gun. I love rusty old guns. I found out it was a family treasure from the war but wasn’t reliable. So as an amateur gunsmith I offered my help. After many hours of work waiting for our bus and working on the fly it was restored to it’s former glory. The look on his face when he test fired it was priceless. I got our tickets half price HAHAHA👍👍👍
You sir are a generous one and I applaud you for that
make a gunsmith channel. sounds nice. itd be nice if we had enough in the philippines because we have a lot of aging inventory.
@Aiden Tikalsky Huh, surprising that I havent heard the police mentioning that "terror attack"
It's amazing that all these rusted guns are all the same color on here.

Congratulations, for the excelent job. My father had an ASTRA, model Cadix 38 Spc. as personal protection gun, for decades. He got it at 60s. This revolver was his everyday concealed weapon.
Great job. A real pleasure to watch. I was hoping for a chrome finish and maybe a pearl handle just to make the difference even more extreme but wow. Incredibly skillful gunsmith.

In spanish: Excelente trabajo de restauracion anuevo y aun mejor haz pulido, las rebabas de fabricacion de la fabrica, haz niquelado, mejorado todo!!! Excelente!! Felicitaciones de Argentina.
This would've been a perfect candidate for some cerakote or duracoat!! Although your method was really awesome too, I love the patina look to it. This really makes me want to find a worn out revolver to restore!
ua-cam.com/video/1gVOqmvv0j4/v-deo.html
Plum brown would have been anachronistic but given the level of pitting I think it would have looked good. Awesome job on this revolver. Truly amazing.
DuraCoat more than Cerakote .
But a brushed or matte finish with electroless nickel would best deal with the pitting .
@@filianablanxart8305 why durakote over cerakote?
I’ve used cerakote, but haven’t tried anything else.
@@Daddy53751 I imeadately conceed that Cerakote is mostest bestest hard & durable finish . Dura Coat is very durable , but CeraKote even more .
But that said , there are still reasons to prefer Dura Coat , at least some of the time .
Cerakote has a good selection of color , Dura has huge selection . Dura works better for intricate multi color design . ( Not my thing , but some people do .)
But in this instance , Dura Coat will better fill in pits , while the physically thiner CeraKote will exactly conform to the host , pits and all .
I never knew how complicated the cleaning and restoration of a fire arm was. (The end product is a beaut by the way )

Simply incredible that you are able to bring these things back to life or in some cases improving it. You’ve earned every subscription you have Sir, and mine too today. I have only seen a few of the precision processes, but the homemade electrolysis was my favorite. Amazing
Nice job! One of my favorite revolvers- a timeless classic and star of many detective shows.
I do not remember seeing an astra revolver in any detective shows at all
Video spettacolare, rilassante persino. Ed è sempre bello vedere un’arma salvata dalla ruggine. Tanto di cappello per il lavoro!
ua-cam.com/video/c5lnmOqqfZg/v-deo.html
Good job. It looks a lot like a S&W under the side plate.
I was thinking the same thing probably a (licensed?) copy made by Astra
Spanish Guns factories always made copies of America guns. That's because the spanish Copyright laws rules that to uphold your blueprints in Spain you should have factories in the country, and not every American gunmaker was interested in having factories there.
So it was easy to spanish gunmakers make perfect copies of American gunmakers and not having trouble with law.
@@ViniciusAMSilva didn’t know this legal aspect, and I always wondered why so many copies where made in Spain. Thanks!
@@stevailo Not licensed, Stolen rights. Only buy real Smith & Wesson firearms. The rest are junk.
Que buen trabajo excelente que lindo quedo felicitaciones hizo un trabajo
De lujo que lindo 38 especial
Great restoration. I did something similar and instead of blueing, I used flat black wood stove paint. Don't make faces guys. Guns have been painted for MANY years. For an old gun, especially one with some rough surfaces, a very durable paint such as engine block or wood stove, comes out looking pretty good and can fill in some of the pitting.
Mãe
Or engine paint
This really warms my heart.
@Thomas Webb yes absolutely.
Okay, I can accept that. What's worth listening to and watching. This educational video came at an early year.
Here in UK I restore mostly old air rifles and pistols, striking up a rusty one is hard work, it's nice to sit back for a change, excellent work, love snub nosed revolvers
before I clicked I thought it was a old Colt detective special which would be sad because those guns are watch maker guns very finely made. Great restoration on the Astra!

Looks like a charter arms, whom I love. I do this with every old gun I buy, no surprises.
I actually like the pitted look on some off these kinds of restores
Yea, It gives it a battle hardened look
If regular gun bluing is technically controlled oxidation then rust is oxidation on steroids.
I don't a restored gun has to look good.
ua-cam.com/video/c5lnmOqqfZg/v-deo.html
I love you’re work. I do restoration’s on vintage guitars so I know the effort involved in your craft. The guys that give their opinions on how you ‘should have’ done things is hilarious. Where are their videos?
@@restaurato6629 jko
I cringed at the side plate removal .
Traditional rust blueing was a thing of beauty on 19th century arms . And an interesting process to document for its own sake.
But for a gun with modern steels , in that starting condition , professional grade Cold Blueing would give more even coloring , and a more durable finish .
Yes , I've done it to zero finish remaining duty revolvers , but it was before the era of the internet , or affordable digtal cameras .
Saturdaynight special, love those guns!
Yes! A proper rust blue! I can sleep peacefully now. Bubba has learned.
Still looks pretty rough, but it's been given new life and should be solid and reliable
@@restaurato6629 It's a good car gun. Just put it in the trunk or wherever and you don't need to worry about the finish.
The Cadix line of pistols are (fairly good) S&W clones built by Spanish company Astra between 1958 and 1973. good work resurrecting this piece of history
if this was me, after a 24 hour soak i would be like, this is fine, restoration finished \o/
The reason it looks good was because it was rusted by him and was fine before hand
hahaha, yes, me too. Plus all the parts would have broken off for me

Excellent restoration! The chemical bluing turned out very well, I'm glad you did that instead of the wipe-on bluing that is actually an oxidized copper that does nothing to protect the metal. You clearly have talent for restoring firearms and I can't wait to see what you do next!

Thanks for taking my word on the NaOH. I wish more people would do it that way and you did not disappoint! Well done!
Why not just call it salt.
NaCl is table salt. NaOH is sodium hydroxide, or lye.
This looks just like my S&W Model 36 I carried as a detective.
Great job bringing that nice little piece back to life! You have skills and patience.
Well it's not hard work, but it's tedious and time consuming work. This is enjoyable work though. I love restoration.
Muy buen trabajo de restauración. Sólo faltaba la prueba final, verificar con disparos, si el tambor y el tubo cañón, responden como antes. Hubiera sido la cereza del pastel. Aún así, los felicito. ÉXITOS!!!
I read that when cleaning the muzzle it's good to follow the direction of the bullet (from inside to outside) and only go in that direction (pass the entire brush through the barrel, handle and everything).
Thank you for this very satisfying video :)
You’re supposed to clean from the breech end because if you go from the muzzle you risk messing up the crown

Heard that same thing several time when I was a small boy.In 1958 while in the Army I asked our company warrant officer that ran small arms repair if that were true.He said that he did not think so and he had never seen anything in writing that said to do it that way,Years later I asked another small arms expert the same question,got the same answer.Both those men were experts in weapons up to about 155 caliber some I think that might be an urban legend.

If you're like so many people, not only does the loss of patience come with age, but so many of us have had our brains rewired by computers and the internet. I have some patience remaining, but focus and concentration are long gone.
deep fried revolver... my favorite!!
Damn that revolver was really smooth looking for something covered in rust, you'd almost thing it was paint
you need to polish the cylinder as well. it should spin smooth as butter.
Nice job. I’d like to know more about the bluing setup and chemicals
احب الفيديوهات الي نفس كذا 👍🏻
That’s a very nice restoration job. The interesting thing will be to see how easily the ammo will load into the cylinders and how easy the fired cases will eject for the cylinder.
Probably could do with a good hone and polish to the cylinders.
@@MrSterling314: Judging by what the rifling looked like, I personally would have bored and re-sleeved the barrel. Hone and polish is a good idea, just don't over do and make a sloppy fit.
@@d.s.steele3100 yup. Or just rebarrel it. But yeah don't wanna make those chambers oversized lol.
Also the fact that he did zero polishing or any attempt to remove pitting at all annoys me. How can you call this a 'restoration' when all you did was reblue it lol.
But whatever, it makes a popular video I guess lol.
@@MrSterling314: I think he might have been going for a patina look. If so a new barrel (if one can be found) would look out of place. That is the reason I suggested a re-sleeve. That way it could be fired safely, but keep as many original parts as possible.
@@d.s.steele3100 Can't tell until you test it . Sometimes ugly bores will give good accuracy .
Right on... a real bluing, made me tingle! Great job on the resto!
ua-cam.com/video/c5lnmOqqfZg/v-deo.html
I would recommend bead blasting to get a uniform finish and remove the pitting from the rust. Then after inspection, I would either polish the parts or hot blue them. If the finish is not going to be uniform and smooth enough for a polished blue then I would look at a matte finish such as parkerizing. Myself I would probably opt for the parkerizing or maybe cerakote.
Definitely wasnt thrown in a river/junkyard to get rid of any evidence 😁
Bravo! Great restoration. I've an old Browning Hi Power that I want restore. You've given me inspiration to go and do it. Thanks!

Great job.Reminded me that a couple I knew found a tommy gun one time.In 1964 we were in the first armored divison, we were in the Mojave desert near Cadiz CA.One day a couple friends of mine went exploring found a tommy gun.lying on it's side . Wind and sand had practically destroyed the wooden stock,gun was pretty well sand blasted and very rusty.Funny thing though,a tiny bit of the wooden stock yhat had been face down still had the letters HQ93 visible on what was left of the stock.The gun was turned over to the 1st AD musem.Story came back to us that the gun had been reported lost when the 1st AD was training in the same area during WW2.If that were true the gun woould have been lying there for over twenty years.Gun wound up in the 1st AD musem.
