The fact that you test the gun after restoring it makes watching until the end so rewarding. Thanks for your awesome content.

Banging on a part hard enough to get it to move without banging it hard enough to break something: that is another rare skill.

The smaller screw holding the bigger screw so it doesn’t come loose is the most German thing ever

I was a police armorer for 10 years and I’m here to tell you that this fellow is the real deal. Not only does he do a masterful job on the restorations but his explanation is outstanding. He can work on my guns anytime he wants to

I know it's probably a range or law limitation but the desire to see this thing fire full auto was so strong haha, excellent video and restore as always, you've truly got a gift.

This looks almost fake at first glance but I know this guy is legit and very good at his work. <br> Plus he has a backstory behind the gun too.<br> You can definitely learn a lot from him.
