  the safety is missing, and what an amazing restoration to see something as rare as this cycle at all is incredible

  Two fun notes: Having to take the front sight off the gun to disassemble the gas system--which was a 100% necessity because the Wehrmacht used corrosive ammo--would change the zero, hence a likely reason why the grouping was a little low and very left. The gas trap system, also called the bang system here in the united states, was what the m1 Garand was initially going to use, but was found to be unreliable and had the same issue of the zero changing every time the rifle was taken apart to be cleaned.

  Keeping these historic weapons from being destroyed or otherwise forgotten is truly a noble effort. Good on you.

  I used to watch all of these restoration videos, and be enamored with just how talented some those people were at erasing years of neglect. Then I happened on your video where you detailed exactly what to look for in those videos that proved they were completely fictitious. I was so disappointed, but extraordinarily grateful as well. I still am. Yours is the only restoration channel I still watch.

  In Germany we would say &quot;gute Arbeit&quot; ! Happy to see a rare piece of history coming back to life, you did an incredible job.

  I was skeptical at first of being so conservative about rust removal, but I can see by the end how it was the right thing to do. There&apos;s historic value in having an unmodified artifact, but sometimes it&apos;s even more important for it to be a piece of living and functioning history. Perfect balance of both with this one.

  Bro you can&apos;t just catch me off guard like that. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2M4TU2IOIQ&amp;t=771">12:51</a> &nbsp;(Probably not more than how a certain 50. cal once catched a certain kentuckian off guard though)

  I know nothing about the functionality of guns but I have massive respect for those who can save pieces of history like this from decay. Great work man!
