Winchester Model 1873 Restoration Video
This guy got a 1880s vintage Model 1873 22 short at a garage sale for $25. It had been left in a barn for decades and was in pretty bad shape. The way he restores it is amazing. He soaks it in Evaporust which looks like pretty good stuff. He speeds up the video at points but you can slow it down to see what he is doing with the control on the lower right of the video.

Re: Winchester Model 1873 Restoration Video
Very cool. Hate to see something restored that is that old, but its not like there were many other options in that case/was pretty far gone...might as well bring it back to life. EvapoRust is amazing shit but will take off blueing (clearly not an issue here).
Now why cant i find yard sale items like that?!?
