Merry Christmas. I didn't see this anywhere on YouTube so thought I would upload it. On a side note; I got my Godson one of these rifles a few years ago and he couldn't pump the thing, he wasn't strong enough. He is an athletic 8 year old so he is pretty strong for his age.
One of these days I hope to get back to making some gun/reloading vids but back issues have kept me from doing much with the hobby for a while now so I haven't had anything interesting to share.

In this vid I go over what I'm doing to bring some life back to a very neglected Beretta Carcano Cavalry Carbine I got on sale from RTI.
Items used:
Stainless blueing/parkerizing tank (brushpile90 on ebay, $149)
Brownells carding brush and carding wheel
Cheap Harbor Freight corded drill held in Harbor Freight 5 inch vise
Dremel brand cordless dremel and SOFT wire wheel and brush
RIG grease
Tipton coated cleaning rod
Regular tap water (I haven't seen any advantage to using distilled)

Here's a fixer-upper Star BM I got from Classic Firearms when they had some rough ones for 149.99.
In this video I discuss the future plans for this pistol and begin to work on removing some of the rust. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated!
Sorry for the audio pops and editing issues, I'm still learning....
