It took me a long time to warm to the '17 thanks to its, um, unique profile-Here’s my US model 1917.

But now I recognize there is beauty in being overbuilt.

Those a re "Plus Fours, not knickers!Dig the knickers he is wearing.
Old, OLD School,100 years and counting, gun making at its finest: Westley Richards .400/.360 Nitro Express drop box locks with flip-up sight.
Cartridge please! Pic of possible!My latest acquisition: Swiss Vetterli 1870 Kadettengewehr (photos from the seller's website.)
She's a mixmaster of numbered components, but has a cherry bore. I added a reproduction cleaning rod and had the bolt converted to centerfire. I plan to take her to the range for the first time tomorrow.

Now we’re cooking with bear fat!!!! Please keep us informed of range test with that “cherry bore”Sorry, my new Sony camera doesn't seem to macro focus very well. This batch uses reformed Starline 50-110 brass. I'm going to try two fairly light loads with 210 grain HBWC and 250 grain FP bullets over 7.4 grains of Trail Boss -- I assembled ten rounds of each load. Since this is a single-shot, I don't have to worry about cartridge OAL or bullet shape for magazine feeding.
