Wasnt sure where to post this but this rifle started as a frontloader and due to age should always be loaded with blackpowder. It is in 577 snider.
This rifle shoots high and I am curious about a front sight. I dont want to kentucky windage it.
Are there replacement sights available? Maybe...
As far as i know, i dont have a firearm owned by a famous person.
I have a 86 winchester bored out from 40-65 to 45-70 by Parker Ackley. Thats as close as I get.
Lorne knight didnt get better. There would be a uptick in his health and then whoosh back to bad. He should have ate the meat raw, all of it. There is a lesson there.
Speaking of raw meats and organ meats. I recently read a book.about Ada Blackjack and a failed expedition to wrangel island. One of the guys died of scurvy. There was talk in the book about eating undercooked meat to prevent scurvey.
a few that I shoot now and then are trapdoor springfield in 45-70, Snider enfield in 577 snider, swiss veterrli 78 in 41 swiss. Recently picked up a berdan 2 rifle.
The swiss is converted to centerfire, I use 8mm lebel converted over to 41 swiss
Legends of the Fall......the big sharps that the old cowboy boy uses and the gun thr father use on the gangster. I second the Ghost in the Darkness rifle
I've read that William Scagel made his own firearms. I've been looking for more info without much luck. My googlefu must be weak on this. I posted this here rather than the gunsmithing secton, figuring it may get more traction. thank you
Just read a article in a 1999 gun digest about sporterized mosins. It all started in the 1920s. Townsend Whelen got involved and started touting the rifle and round. They surmised it was going to die out because the ammo was drying up. There was a lot of interest due to Arms and the Man and then...
when I was young, I was broke. The first real rifle not counting a 30-40 krag was a Remington 788. It was all I could afford and barley at that.
As time went on the check book got a little fatter and more was spent. Now my eyesight is such a expensive rifle probably wouldn't advantage me much...
I bought one for my 41 swiss, in the instructions that came with it, mentioned a temperature to shoot for. It said not to get it much hotter than 850 degrees. I believe it's the only brass mold I have.
There's a few, not in any particular order. A marbles gamegetter, a rifle made by Hacker Martin, a firearm made by William Scagel. The Scagel rifle would probably be all but unobtainable.
