NOTICE: This was an April fools joke, to those who watch regularly it makes sense. If you don't normally watch this channel, welcome aboard. You might learn something.....Just Sayin

but..but....but the PATINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding bullshit!!!!

You're destroying it's resale value for high $$  collectors! 😂😂 ( only partially kidding, some collectors would ask big bucks from other collectors (fellow suckers) for it as is due to "potential future collector value". The fascinating provenance story for that particular gun is worth at least another $1,000 so I hope you have signed and notarized documentation!😂😂)

Angle smoke drives away the Demons of reality by coating surfaces with a thin layer of hope but, only if one's faith in the unobtainable is true.

Gunowner takes it out of a very expensive gun safe purchased just for it and daily, at sunrise and sunset, whispers the lyrics to a very ironic yet personally sentimental Rick Astley song to it.
It's touching to behold, or so I hear from eyewitnesses to the event.

Looks to me like a good candidate for chelation rust removal.

This was one of the first Mark Novak videos I watched.. I didn't get the joke and thought he was absolutely Insane. 😅

Plot twist:  the shotgun Mark shows at the end actually IS the restored swamp gun because Mark is just that good.  And he's effing with us now.

This is why I sold my SP1 6 months after I bought it and replaced it with a 1972 Simson 35/70.  The Beretta quality isn't what it should be.  When they stored in in salt water they should have thrown in a reusable packet of silica gel.  Love your work.

Even if it's a joke .Even if it's for entertainment only , you NEVER hold barrels in a vise like that !

"Thin film of rust"....  are we watching the same video?

I just started watching gunsmith videos like a week ago so there is a lot I know about other things but not much about gunsmithing.   In this situation I would think a bath in vinegar would take the crud off pretty good.  Is that a no no in the gun biz ?

was kind of wondering why is he wasting time on this mess

The amount of kroil wasted on that is criminal 😂, it's too expensive! Good one Mark 😅

"once we break through this thin film of rust..."
Is the thin film of rust in the room with us? 🤣

Honestly, throw that gun in the fire. It is toast. Don't waste your time on it.

Come on! You're telling me these YouTubers out here restoring a vintage revolver found in the mud after 120 years are faking it?

Oh, yeah, soon as I saw that. I knew it would buff right out.

Love your humor...I'm glad you had a good straight man
