    Inherited this rifle, what is it?

    Nope, nothing. The only marking I can find anywhere on the gun is the single number on the top of the breech tang.

    Inherited this rifle, what is it?

    I took the lock and the barrel out of the stock and there aren’t any markings anywhere on gun anywhere with the exception of the single “6” or “9” on the tang at there beach end of the barrel (depending on how you view it).

    Flintlock pistol ID help

    Hello! In addition to the rifle I posted the other day, I also inherited this flintlock pistol as well. Again, I am turning to THR community to help me with identifying it, or at least helping me to determine the region/era. This pistol is in really rough shape, it was clearly used… a lot...

    Inherited this rifle, what is it?

    What’s the best way to clean the metal parts once I have the rifle disassembled? The action functions but it’s “slow” from the years of gunk and dirt build up

    Inherited this rifle, what is it?

    I haven’t done anything yet, I thought I should talk with some people who know more about this stuff than me first. I’ll take a look when I get off shift Friday

    Inherited this rifle, what is it?

    Well that would be something if it turns out to be a guild gun! I wish I had gotten some info about it from my Godfather before he passed. I did get a really old flintlock pistol too that I still need to take pictures of and post here. I was supposed to get a genuine Kentucky long rifle from...

    Inherited this rifle, what is it?

    I thought about removing the action from the stock to see if there’s any info underneath, is that a dumb idea?

    Inherited this rifle, what is it?

    Well thank you, that at least gives me somewhere to start looking, I really appreciate it! I’ll take another look and see if I can get better pictures of the markings. I also have an old flintlock pistol I’m going to post for ID help once I can get some pictures of it.

    Inherited this rifle, what is it?

    Good day THR community! I inherited this rifle from my deceased Godfather, he was an antiques dealer so I know it’s authentic rather than a reproduction of some type. I’ve tried to find some information using internet searches but I’m not having any luck.

    Agreed! I have in the neighborhood of 7,000 223 cases, 2,000 308 cases and several thousand 9mm and 40 cal cases. It pays to have a police buddy who’s a SWAT sniper! I try to decap and wet tumble every load my buddy drops off so I don’t get buried. Then when it’s time to load some up I just have...

    Oh that’s not as obstructed as I imagined

    That’s looks convenient but I do like how when I remove the pores from the Inline mounts they are the same height as the bench top, there’s nothing in the way of things on the bench or for me to scratch my arms on when I’m not paying attention.

    Yes, I installed 3 of them in my bench, one for the vise near the tools and then two on the long leg of the bench spaced far enough apart to use the powder measure and press with a beam scale between them. Inline Fabrication tells you to route out the bench to precisely 7/16” so take your time...

    That’s cool, I have a really crappy Lee single stage (can’t remember the model) that I use for decapping and with my Redding bulge buster die for 40’s, they didn’t have a top plate for that model so I got a blank one and drilled the mounting holes on my drill press, worked just fine. I almost...

    They sure do! A buddy of mine turned me on to them, I have their quick mounts on everything now. I’ve never gotten anything from them that has disappointed me, top quality stuff. I wish I had installed the flush mount bases a long time ago, it’s nice to be able to put everything in a storage...

    Just removed the Dillon strong mount and added three Inline Precision flush mount bases

    Reloading room finally finished!

    Thanks for the suggestion, I’m still deciding on lighting, if I do add any I’ll probably do some LED tubes mounted to the underside of the top shelves. I didn’t lag them to the wall, the entire bench is ridiculously heavy and movement hasn’t been an issue. But if I do notice it becoming a...

    Reloading room finally finished!

    I keep the extra tool heads on the top shelf on the right side (you can see one of them up there) on the Dillon toolhead stands. Inline Fabrication also makes a wall bracket and mounts for the Dillon toolheads. The lee press is used for single purpose processes like a universal depriming die...
