Here is a really cool antique firearm, it is a 1903 model 1890. Over 849,000 were made and alot of them were used at state fairs and carnivals in the shooting parlors for kids. Back when they used real rifles at the carnival giving its name "The gallery Gun". This is a really fun firearm to shoot and its also really cool in style. I had to find some parts and ammo for this video hence why we also had a sponsor "The Ridge" wallet company. Links are below for the wallets, merchandise, donating, and other platforms. Thanks for watching.

A neighbor gave me a gallery gun. Made in 1928, he said he paid $20 for it many years ago. It's in decent condition, shoots good and it's a gun I've wanted one but couldn't find any in decent condition.
He's collected many types of guns, and I'm honored to have it. I grew up 25 miles from New Haven and went there with my dad and his friend when I was probably 8 or 9. I remember going in to drop off a rifle to be repaired, the counter was taller than I, but I could see the machines and workers behind it. I also been to Marlin in North Haven.
They're both gone now, but memories are still with me.
Thanks Tony Gobin, you ole sea dog!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Wow what a great story thank you very much for sharing it with me I appreciate that and I love reading it sounds like a great time thank you for watching

[@martinmarsola6477]

Another resurrection of a rifle. Excellent reconditioning, and excellent workmanship. You the best Brandon! Cheers buddy! 🙂👍🇺🇸

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much Martin we appreciate it a lot. thanks again for the support and for always watching!

[@Mynameis7nad]

Wow looks great! Glad you upgraded to the glass beeds instead of wire brushes and grinding. 10x better.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks, ya for sure an upgrade on media blasting. Thanks for watching

[@brandonkinzler3188]

Magnet fishing is on the horizon everyone. Hopefully next weekend of June 4

[@DirtyMagYakers]

That's good to hear!!

[@jackypearcejustme]

Yeet at last! 👍🏻 I have been yeetless. 🙄

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yes it is long overdue!

[@Music-kz9ol]

.22 short chambering indicates it is a gallery rifle made for shooting galleries. The marks on the front of the barrel were made by the device that kept the rifle down range when in the gallery. My Mom taught me to shoot walnuts off of a tree when I was 5.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Very cool, thanks for all the info and I'm sure you had a blast shooting it, thanks for watching!

[@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649]

Heating in a small countertop oven (150°F) works pretty good too. Don't have to stop and heat each part. Just pull out and go.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks for the tip and for watching we appreciate it very much!

[@Andrew-sv6zq]

Really stunning restoration. Although probably worth more in the origianal condition, the restoration came out beautiful. Someone, like me, would love that in their collection.😁

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much Andrew I appreciate the support, ya maybe on the value but, it is in good shape for more generations to come, thanks for watching

[@DelThompson]

I am very impressed with your skills of restoring these old firearms!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks Del, I appreciate that very much, thanks for watching and we would love it if you shared it on social media platform, thanks again

[@danblumel]

I have the same rifle, it was so used at a shooting gallery way back when and used by my grandfather on his Middletown, NY dairy farm, there's no riflings left in the barrel. No accuracy left in it.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yep that’s what they were mainly used for and also of course hunting varmint but this one still has some pretty good rifling thanks for watching

[@jbt9033]

My grandfather has one and it’s one of my favorite guns to play with. Something about a pump 22 is just too much fun

[@TheKinzlerBros]

It is a very fun gun to fire probably the most fun I’ve had firing a gun so far thanks for watching

[@Woodstock271]

Nice work! This was two years ago and I’ve watched more recent videos of yours. I’ve seen you refine your techniques and skills since then. The high gloss finish on the wood is something I’d have done when I was young. I’ll bet you’d go more traditional low luster oil and wax on that rifle these days.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks, ya I've improved some. This was a customer's gun, that's why I did the wood that way. Thanks for watching!

[@brightbkh07]

Beautiful gun and amazing job restoring it!!!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yes it is, thanks we appreciate it!

[@viper_3211]

First of all…..what!?!? This is such a beautiful restoration. Oh man.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you we appreciate you!

[@jackburgess9482]

I have a model 1890 just like that. I found it in the floor joists of an old house I was up grading the electric in and the homeowner said it wasn't his and I could keep it. It had been there for a long time and after a good cleaning and oiling it would fire, but the barrel was worn completely out. It was as slick as a smooth bore musket...lol... I just cleaned it up and use it as a wall hanger.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Very cool, thanks for the story I enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@davedoughty1213]

Well done gentlemen … an amazing restoration of a classic firearm. I enjoy restoring old firearms myself but I can’t hope to be as talented as you are! Keep up the great work! What a blessing to do something you seem to be passionate about!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much we appreciate the support and I'm sure you'll get just as good thanks for watching

[@hooks_and_horns]

My aunt had one of these about a year ago. She said she hasn’t touched it in 50 years, says it’s definitely unloaded. The action is jammed so I open the tube. Waddaya know, about 10 .22 shorts fell out. The slide would not open but I managed to get the hammer back. I go outside, pull the trigger, nothing happens. All of a sudden the hammer falls and the thing goes off, luckily still at the ground. Sketchiest firearm ordeal I’ve ever had.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Wow, pretty crazy story! Thanks for sharing and for watching!

[@randystanley3910]

You made the weapon work like clockwork..

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much I appreciate it thank you for watching

[@josephharvat6202]

Amazing job but I think I would have gone with a less glossy finish on the stock. The metal work is impeccable. :)

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much Joseph I greatly appreciate it, yeah a less shiny finish would be nice too thanks for watching

[@kathyspeights3263]

I just love that new bead blasting machine, it must make restoration easier.
I was wondering what happened to the magnet fishing series, nice to have an update.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks yeah it makes everything super easy, we have slowed down on the magnet fishing and we are getting more into restoring, thanks for watching

[@clintchambers7156]

Great little rifle back to it's glory! I have one that shoots .22 Rifle, not long or shorts, hard to find. Was my step dads. Got it cleaned up and shoots great. Need to sight it in though. What a great turnaround!

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much, we appreciate the support! Thanks for watching

[@albertcyphers1532]

I would have thought rust bluing would have been the way to go on a rifle that old

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Ya probably, we haven't tried that yet! Thanks for watching

[@jasonsummit1885]

People would probably say the same thing if I get my grandpa's JC Higgins 12 gauge from the 50s restored to looking new. I want to be able to keep and use it for years before passing it on, not doom it to becoming a wall hanger.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Absolutely keeping it going, thanks for watching!

[@danieljohnson6931]

Love that old firearm. Really cool awesome work.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much Daniel we appreciate it!

I've got that same model 1890 in 22 WRF. Made in 1911. Isn't in nearly as bad shape as that one was, but now I want to restore it to look like new : )

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yeah it really brings the life back into the gun thanks for watching

[@johnmartin1095]

Nice job looks beautiful I got my dad's old 1890 in wrf but to needs retoreing

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks, ya that's cool. They are old so most of them need restoring. Thanks for watching

[@richwhitaker1506]

Beautiful restoration. First repeater I ever shot. Belonged to a neighbor who hunted with my Dad. I think a box of shorts was less than $0.50. Good times.

You do a very good job of restoring firearms, my only wish is that you would talk while doing your videos, it makes it more friendly.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you we appreciate it, thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@GalsOutwestTreasureHunting]

Love the striping in the wood. Didn't it say 1890 on it? Beautiful job.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Yeah I really liked the oily look on the one side of the stock from being used and it does have the 1890s stamp on it that doesn’t mean it was made in 1890 this is a 1903 based on how many were made and the serial number this one has thank you for watching
