carding with fine grit sandpaper is something I was told by a local a while back. Apparently he didn't go into enough detail with me about what he was actually talking about. Thanks for the additional info...I'm always learning something new about these guns. :)

Well dang! That time machine I built actually works, I've been transported back to the late 1960's! :eek:

a light sanding with a fine grit sandpaper, not a silly question though...you won't know if you don't ask. :)

my "antiqued" 1858

Mec, Any idea where I could find parts for the Remington pocket 31? I got one for Christmas and I think one of the legs of the cylinder bolt is too short. The bolt pops up too early and is dragging the cylinder. found one at vtigunparts for $11. Is this the cheapest I'll find?

Repeal ALL gun laws except the 2nd amendment. The 2nd Amendment is the ONLY gun law we need.

I do the exact same thing. Good source for free lead, and it's pure and casts a really good round ball or conical. :) Beats the heck outta buying lead ingots.

Surely someone bessides me is looking for excuses to post a piture of their rifle..:p Harrington & Richardson, manufactured in 1955, bought from CMP in 2004/ Good Shooter! The bayonet was my Dad's, the one he was issued when he served in the Marines in the late 50's.

Barrel blank would be my guess... :confused:

Quote from my original post: I have a M91 (Russian- Tula 1891) myself. You'll love the M44, tough as nails and should be reasonably accurate. Cosmoline, Yep you're right, my mistake :o ...had that number 91 stuck in my head for some reason. Actual date of manufacture is 1897. Still, the...

The magnum caps are designed to light off the substitute powders more reliably. CCI recommends theirs for that purpose on their website. http://www.cci-ammunition.com/default.asp?menu=1&s1=3&pg=10&prod_id=28 In my experience, the #11 magnum works well to light off H777 which seems to...

Hoppes #9 Kerosene Mineral spirits carb cleaner these are the safest alternatives and they are easily available, keep them off the wood though :)

If the barrel isn't properly throated you may need to have that done, but otherwise I'd bet that this gun will be a shooter! :) Your lead will get plenty o grip on the rifleing as it passes through the barrel which should make it a very accurate weapon.

My Russian M91 made at Tula in 1897.

I’ll post pics later, but for now here’s another question for you guys. I have a Mosin M91, manufactured at Tula in 1897, (I’ll post pics of the marks if I can get a good shot of them), the gun itself is in good shape and shoots good but the stock is in pretty rough shape finish wise. Do I...

I’ve used 777 off and on over the past year and at first it seemed inconsistent and prone to hangfire. In a discussion with Jule of bigiron barrels, he explained to me that the hangfires and inconsistent behavior under compression was actually an ignition problem and offered me a solution which...

I found a Remington New model pocket .31 under the tree! :D

Just in case it was missed on the forum... http://www.bigironbarrels.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=154 Keep in mind that custom work does not happen quickly. The type of work we have been asking bigiron to do is specialized for the most part and individual to the guns that we want worked on...
