I’ve noticed from videos and pictures on the quality of the wood on the Armi Sport / Chippa rifles seems meh. Looks good, sadly my quest in the past three years to build my own 1861 flopped. I check with Dunlap occasionally and they never seem to have anything, so was curious about your stock. I...

When did you purchase your Dunlap Stock?

Update on the Build. I've got the Stock more filled (Rasp) and sanded down. I also stained the stock, once almost done I'll put some linseed oil on it. Some parts are still not fitted due to still having to file and sand them to fit properly. I plan on getting a Dunlap Stock in the future and...

I just called and was told they don't have any 1861 Springfield Stocks. Then gentleman stated that he had some wood air drying and would possibly be ready around Spring. I don't believe that means they don't have any others, it may just pertain to 1861 Springfield's.

Does anyone know of anyone who has an (Repro for Original) 1855/61/63 3 Band Rifle stock, figured I’d ask.

That would be doable, if I had the correct tools to attempt this . I did send an email to Dunlap about getting a stock from them. I probably going to go that route after all the effort I’ve put into this build so far. When I received the stock there was a larger square chunk of wood left on the...

If I put the lock bolt in the ram rod won’t go all the way in. If you put the ram rod in then the bolt won’t go in. The ram rod channel is cut in the same position of the lock bolt. The lock plate is positioned in the correct location. Sadly I do not believe I can work around it.

BAD UPDATE I received the stock from The Rifle Shoppe and started working on it. Got the lock plate set and then drilled the first hole. I went to blow out the chips and noticed air shot out the ram rod channel. I placed the ram rod in and noticed I could not see light through the hole. So I...

Very good information!!! Those are specs that I was unaware of. I would assume a slightly larger ram rod would be less prone to warp. I was aware a lot of the parts interchange which is great when building a rifle. I do prefer the screw swivel. I don’t have much experience with reproductions and...

Miroku is a very good reproduction. From my understanding they were sent an original to copy and copied everything very well even the removable breech plug. As others have said it favours an 1863 Type I with band springs. One more thing that was common on original 1863 Type II's were the trigger...

I do plan to weight it once complete, but will take some time to completely finish. I work around 50 hours, some weeks. I’ve watched a few videos and PATIENCE is something I’ve got to keep in my. Measure twice and cut once type thinking. I don’t have all the parts but only a few left but plenty...

Received the Stock today from The Rifle Shoppe

Almost 90 percent of the parts I have came from Originals. Just a few minor thing like screws and band springs are reproduction for originals. The Barrel was made by Whitacre and the Ramrod is a very good two piece for an 1864. It's a 50-70 rifle I believe it was made from both an 1864 and...

These are the bands I have for my build

I just ordered a rifle stock and have not received it yet, but am curious about their quality. I've seen videos on the web and their products, they do seem to be very good quality. Favourite Black powder firearm - What is it? 1864 Springfield Original. Currently building one and decided to go...

The Italian's are good looking guns, the 1842 I do consider to be very good gun. This is one reason I wanted to have an 1864 made to original specs. I have read that the Italian Repros are more heavy. I have an original 1864 that was cut down as a cadet rifle and converted to a trapdoor and the...
