    1874 Gras Rifle find.

    I've come across a St Etienne Manufactured Gras 1874 rifle. Made in 1880 and all matching as far as I have figured, so far. It came to me missing three screws. The tang screw, and the two wood screws that hold the trigger guard. They've been ordered. For now, I'm gently cleaning it up and...

    My newest Model 10-6 (Not safe for SW purists)

    This saga started with our gunsmith, Jack, mounting a rail on top of a customer's revolver. (I forget what type). Jack didn't like the way the rail stuck out over the front of the frame and lopped it off. The offending, lopped off, piece resided on his bench for a bit. I noticed it, and...
