The Story of the Rusty Beretta

Originally posted: Jan. 14, 2012

Just before Christmas a gentleman brought me his mother's Beretta pistol. It had been in her car for about four years. When he pulled it out, he found the gun was not only rusted badly, but the barrel had to be pried open and the magazine yanked out. In hopes of getting the gun working again, he brought it to me and asked if there was anything I could do. Since I enjoy doing this kind of work, I took it on as project.

It took several days to complete and the gun had to be torn down completely. It also suffered some non-fixable damage.

In a later video I'll go over how to do a restoration project like this, what was used, and how to prevent it, as well as what damage was caused to this little gun.

ALL OF THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN AND POSTED WITH THE EXPRESS PERMISSION OF THE GUN OWNER!

2018 edit: I never did shoot a video about how this was done. I may, at some point in the future. I remember this little gun like it was yesterday.
