I came across this video. Very neat project.

That rust removal process was insane!

I wonder what he added to do that.

I wonder what the barrel looks like?

That wasn't a 'restoration', at least not what I would consider a restoration of a 'vintage shooting weapon' (whatever that is). The parts with the dremel down the barrel and the angle grinder with sandpaper gave it away....just my opinion, but he kind of killed it. Yes, it's shiny now....no, I'd prefer a bit more of the original character, IMHO. The porno grips didn't exactly crown it all either, again just my opinion. And no blueing, or any other surface treatment? Unless he gives it a daily oil bath, it'll just rust again. I suppose I'm being harsh, it was probably never going to be fired again anyway.

Not really a restoration if i isn't returned to its near-original state. The cylinder doesn't turn, he ground down the barrel so much he took the original markings off it. Pimp gun.
