COLT Python .357 MAGNUM Gun Lighter Restoration
Restoration of a gun lighter model Colt Python .357 Magnum. I will restore and repair this cool looking cigarette lighter and make it burn again.
ABOUT THE GUN LIGHTER
Note: this is NOT a firearm it’s a Chinese cigarette lighter that I got from one of my loyal subscribers who send this to me to restore. He is a magnet fisherman and once a while he offers me really trashy objects to restore which he finds at the bottom of the lake.
This lighter is a model of the famous Colt Python .357 Magnum which was introduced 1955 the same year that Smith & Wesson released the .44 Magnum revolver. It’s a very cool and realistic looking gun so do not play around with this in the street.
These cheap Chinese butane lighters have a bad reputation for breaking very fast and the butane gas valve, burner and gas tank can really be challenging repairing once broken!
THE RESTORATION PROCESS
I started brushing the mud, dirt, rust, and mold off the lighter. I gave all the screws a drop of oil and disassemble the whole lighter into many pieces. Unfortunately I did have to drill out 4 of the screws which was half gone because of corrosion.
I sandblasted the gun frame, and I did my best to grind the metal back to normal. There was a lot of pitting in the metal, and I managed to almost remove it all. I gave all the metal a nice polishing and the metal came out really good.
I cleaned all the small parts in my mini tumbler. And used Muriatic acid to clean all the plastic parts. I polished all the plastic parts with car wax to make them nice, clean, and shiny again.
