  1. Thank you for showing the bore as part of the process! Yeah most of the Czech Mauser rifles are in 7.92 x 57 mm more often called 8 mm Mauser, while a LOT of the various South American contract Mauser rifles were in 7 x 57 mm like yours! It's a great round and you've done a fantastic job bring that one back to shooting condiion.

  2. OUCH! The last one like that I've seen went for $5000! Most people hear "Red 9" and think C96 Mauser not knowing any better.

  3. I'm glad you showed the bore both before and after! That came out much better than I would have expected. This is one of the best firearm restorations I've seen on Youtube! Most end up a pitted mess or much of the original finish destroyed. This is a remarkable job! AND you tested with the correct black power loads, very cool!

  5. Huh? The arched spring housing is from a M1911A1, so might not be original to this gun if it is indeed a 1914 manufactured one. The same with the plastic grip panels, they should be wood so I'm guessing this was re-worked to bring it to the M1911A1 spec between the wars? Beyond that great job as always.

  6.  @Graderman3587  Um actually, the 7 x 57mm which came out in 1892 is an OLDER round than the 7.92 x 57mm which came out in 1903. It was the 7 x57mm round used in the Model 1893 "Spainish" Mauser, in the Spanish American war that prompted the development of the Springfield Model of 1903 and the development of the .30-03 cartridge that was then modified to become the .03-06. You build rifles, I collect vintage military rifles and books on vintage military rifles and their history.

  8.  @anthonysupplee858  I have an all original S&W Model of 1917 and bluing they achieved is close to that finish at least as far as I can see from a video :)

  9. Uh did you do know that Ruger would be happy to repair it in many case at no cost? They have for others

  10. Other than maybe using of a little walnut stain on the wood, another fantastic job! Well done!

  11. They are close but no, the 7 x 57mm is not the same as the 7mm-08 Remington. The 7 x 57mm is longer than the 7mm-08 Remington which is actually only 51mm as it is based on the 7.62 x 51mm NATO round necked down to 7mm.

  12.  @TheKinzlerBros  You could list them in the video description, that way it won't be a distraction in the video and people will have the information without having to go back to previous ones. And once more you've done a great job. :)
