Mr. Hosmer: Thanks much on this rifle. I have shot this and it is a great shooter. Can you give me some comments on my chemically removing the re-blue and using hand polishing with bronze wool and compound to try to remove the lazy grinder wire brush marks and bring attempt to bring back the origina...

ehull: Thanks, You see I am learning from this forum. Even though I am an old dog.

A few more of rifle number 2 also a NYS RB

Tthis also just acquired NYS RB is in the blue and looks like it was hot blued at one time and then cold reblued over the original Blue using cold blue.

These are some more since the max is 3 per post.

Attaching files for RB #1.

Ehull: Thanks so much for your help. As I have the one rifle disassembled to a barreled action I will post some pics of the BA and the parts. I have been a collector for many years of Milsurp and C&Rs. I try not to disturb original finish and if it needs cleaning I try to use abrasives as little...

So far, all I have done is soak the barreled action in Kroil / water /Ballistol soaked rags and then use BRONZE wool to wipe away the brown leaving the tin surface bright and shiny again. Now I know some must be about to scream about ruining it, however the tinned finish is still there, I am just cl...

OK! My wife reads Chinese (as do most all Koreans) and this is pronounced "KIL or Gil" is the character's for "GOOD LUCK or to have a "HAPPY FATE" . Seems that the person holding this should consider himself LUCKY to have found such a nice old RB.

No wonder I can't find the darn things, and when I do they cost so damn much. You have them all!!! And yes they are very addictive. I only have about 8 or nine but all of them are great to shoot. I reload for the 43 Spanish both long rifle and Carbine, the 50/70 NYS rifles and and several 7mm that a...

Still waiting for some answers to this and I have been busy on a trip and made several more Rem RB purchases.

I am still hoping for help for some ID on the little carbine with the 2 sets of pics below. I have added a few more long versions that do not have the Arge hex next to the Breech. both are in exc condition with one having a 35 in. barrel and the other a 32 in. I found in Tulsa. I'll get some pics up...
