| Video Discription | Rare Gun Lighter Restoration from World War II - D-day 1944! This time I repair and restore a very cool war relic built of .50 Cal cartridges by a soldier during WW II. About the rare .50 Cal gun lighter This is a very special and cool looking war relic from the World War 2. It’s found by a metal detecting group in France and giving to me to restore. Its made out of .50 Cal machineguns cartridges and it looks very cool. The lighter is made of a brass base and old copper cartridges dated 1942 and 1943. The .50 Cal ammunition was mostly used in the browning machineguns during WW2. THE RESTORATION PROCESS I started cleaning the lighter to get an overview of damages so I could plan the restoration. Then I continued by detaching all the lighter parts which was soldered on the lighter frame: the trigger, the trigger guard and the copper cartridges. I cleaned the gun frame and the copper cartridges in my sandblaster using very fine aluminum beads together with low air pressure. Just to avoid unnecessary damage to the restoration project. There were a lot of dents and scratches on the lighter parts but overall a very fine condition after all these years on in the ground. I also gave the parts a light hand grinding with some high 1500 grit sandpaper. I polished all the parts but I managed to keep the old look of the lighter still preserve some of the wear and tear on the lighter. All the small parts was in my mini tumbler using aluminum oxide as my media. When all the parts was cleaned I soldered it all together and added lighter fluid cotton, a new wick, flint and flint spring to the project. And finished by making a new wick lid from a .308 Winchester hunting bullet I really think this restoration video turned out very good.
