Beware of scammers.

IIRC, I made cases from .45-70 brass some years back.

Do you recall what type of rifle was in the Morphy auction?

Mogan L. Rood was a contemporary and rival of Carlos Gove in Denver's gunsmithing community. Rood specialized in heavy, large caliber rifles such as this one chambered in .50-90. The rifle weighs about 13.25 lbs, so intended to fire from a rest or crosssticks.

This is the first rifle I have ...

I used a photograph of the crew from USS PHILADELPHIA doing a Box Drill in Honolulu in an exhibit about shipboard arms for USS OLYMPIA. I dont recall the exact number, but OLYMPIA had in her stores what were described as ".45 magazine rifles" and ".45 ball ammunition " when she sailed for the Orient ...

Does anyone know who made these double set triggers? They're on an Argentine rifle. I know Bob Roller used to make DST for rollers, but have never seen an example.

I have this one in the Classifieds. I'm more of a rolling block guy.

Recently picked up this No 3 Hepburn. It is a .40-90. It left the factory as a shorter case and the caliber is overstamped. What is really neat is that it has BROWNING BROS OGDEN UT stamped on top barrel flat. Not sure if they were the retailers or did the conversion.

Anyone? Ideas? Possible sources for parts or junk rifles?

I picked this 1879 Lee Arms magazine rifle up in an online auction. Photos were bad, but price was good and description made me take a shot. Upon arrival, I discovered that it had a Frankenstein bolt poorly fashioned from a .303 Enfield. Chucked it in the trash. Next, the magazine, which are rare ...

Looking for photos to help me replicate sight parts for this NYS rolling block carbine. In Layman's book it is referred to as a Dexter sight. Carbines issued to Artillery and Signal corps.

I just purchased a Gemmer-style rolling block with a Gove conversion to underlever. Have not received rifle yet, but am pretty sure it is not original. Any idea who might have done the work? Seller did not know.

I have shot all except the ESKILSTUNA 20 gauge and the 10.25x69R. Sold former and need an expander die for latter. I also sold the Number 27.

These were also made in .45-70 for other state militias, IIRC.

Finally, a Belgian made short rifle in 10.25x69R Hunting Express.

Top is a 20 gauge smoothbore, formally a 10.15x60 Jarmann by Hagen in Christiania (Oslo). Middle is a 20 gauge rifle marked ESKILSTUNA. Bottom is a Husqvarna Number 33 in 9.5x47R.
