The video begins with the host discussing how they came across a rusty pistol package they bought online. The pistol, which they initially thought was a Shaposhnikov signal pistol, was later identified as a Shpagina, a later model spsh 44 food. The host explains that in Ukraine, it's legal to have such a pistol as it's not considered a weapon but a means for arrows and signal and noise cartridges.
The restoration process is shown in detail. Initially, they tried to remove the rust using a brush and toothbrush. However, this was time-consuming and didn't fully remove the rust. They then moved to more aggressive cleaning methods, including vinegar and a grinder.
The host explains that after cleaning, the pistol's metal was protected using a bluing composition, which forms a thin oxide film that prevents air and moisture from penetrating inside. The pistol was then lubricated and the spring was installed.
Finally, the host demonstrates the pistol in action, firing signal cartridges in complete darkness. The signal can reportedly be seen from many kilometers away. The video ends with a call to like the video if you enjoyed the restoration process and to look forward to more restoration content.
