whitney laidley carbine, 2nd model mexican action
I just got a whitney laidley civilian carbine on gunbroker.com. It appears to be a 44 caliber center fire. I looked in Flayderman and it would seem that only a few hundred of these were made. The one I got is in just fair condition but I don't see them very often and thought it would add to my rolli...

Re: rolling block project

Re: rolling block project

I do remember looking at a web site of a guy who stretches and relining of barrels for nssa shooters and he indicated he did chambering and action fitting for black powder guns also. I c...

I am not finding a service and parts category in this page. I am a computer ludite and am probably missing something very basic. Please educate me.
