In this gun restoration video I'm showing my desperate attempt at restoring a rusty Colt 1851 Navy pattern revolver. It was in a very poor state, but a friend of mine, an English firearm dealer named john, challenged me, saying "that'll never shoot again in a million years". I did my best to prove him wrong.
