Re: Satrt of firing pin return springs? Gankai 03/29/24 02:38 AM
I had changed my preferences when I got about 100 emails/notices per day. I put them back to accept notices and emails. You are correct - I was surprised at that level of precision the firing pins/strikers were made at (for 1894). Fortunately we had an unbroken, functioning striker with .060 protrusion as well as the broken striker for comparison. There was space for a spring and they were added to both. The gun functions well now and gone through about 70 rounds of my 2 1/2 inch reloads. The primer strikes are equal and robust but not excessive.

So if the heirs or assigns do not have the proper paperwork, it must be sold or surrendered to an authorized dealer.

When you hit the grant lotto, I’ll volunteer to help you start a gun making shop, in those denver hs? But hey, good news, my youngest was kicking some rear end working in denver commercial real estate, and they moved out of state, citing the crime, just two months ago. Weird.

Re: Advantages of the top rib extension bolt Sandlapper 03/28/24 06:20 PM
I hadn't thought about the 200 & 300 series Merkels until they were mentioned, but the whole 200-204 series only have the Kersten crossbolt with no Purdey underbolting, whereas the 300-304 series have both underbolting and crossbolt.The 203E & 204E are considered pretty high grade guns. This thread also reminded me of a Churchill Premiere XXV 12 two-barrel set I have that has the Smith easy opening action with no top fastener and only a single bite on the rear underlug, and it was built in 1961.It's London proofed for 2 3/4" loads and weighs in at 6lbs. If it passed 2 3/4" proof with one lug, it's good enough for me. Regards, Sandlapper

The OPs link shows what could become a wonderful .22 Dangerous Rabbit rifle. I once lasted for one one built from a Belgian gun.

The Parker Gun Collectors Ass'n have a number of 8 bore users who participate in clay shooting with reduced loads. Perhaps an enquiry on that website would elicit the required information on reduced loads.

Re: Hunting with the 9.3x57R/360 CJF 03/28/24 02:00 AM
Thanks Mike. I really like the Watson too! Probably once a month it comes out of the safe, and I think how lucky I am to have been able to acquire it. Pleasant to shoot, accurate, and plenty of gun for what I hunt.

Regards,
Chris

Re: CVA kit from the 70's rocky mtn bill 03/27/24 07:07 PM
At age 15 I read an article in The American Rifleman ( borrowed from a neighbor) about making a muzzle loading pistol much like this one. This was 1955; there were no kits, and so parts were hard to find, especially so in eastern Montana. I bought a piece of black walnut at the local lumberyard. Our town "gunsmith" gave me a piece of octagon barrel from a Winchester 32 Special and a short piece of round steel he said came from a Ford Model T drive shaft. He said the steel was too hard to make a breech plug from, and so I took it to our town blacksmith who annealed it. The smith then turned and threaded a shank and bored and threaded the barrel section to fit. A buddy from school took an interest in my project and came up with a lock pirated from a cheap Belgian shotgun. I had a catalog from Dixie Gun Works (about 20 pages; I still have it.) I ordered the remaining hardware, a bag of 00 buck shot, and a pound of FFF. Several weeks passed as I tried to fit and shape the parts. Finally I got a phone call from the Milwaukee depot. A parcel had arrived from TN. A few days later my pistol was complete. My friend and I shot it some. It went bang and made smoke.. Whether we ever hit anything I can't recall. It was no accomplishment as an artifact, but , looking back, it launched a life-long attempt to make guns that won't end up in the landfill. I still have most of the Italian percussion caps from Dixie, and they still work.
