This video details the extensive process of restoring demilitarized World War II Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun parts kits into museum-ready displays. It outlines three distinct restoration grades, from unrestored parts requiring complete rebuilding to fully restored, functional-display-ready units.

This review of the Marlin Dark Series 30-30 highlights significant issues with its parkerized finish, which showed heavy rusting after minimal exposure to normal conditions. The reviewer criticizes Marlin's choice of coating, contrasting it with the durable bluing on older models. While acknowledging the rifle's tactical features like a threaded barrel and ghost ring sights, the primary drawback identified is the poor finish and limited 5+1 round capacity, making it a less desirable option compared to other Marlin 336 variants or stainless steel models.
