Re: Milling a rim Cutout on an O/U ejector Der Ami 09/27/23 04:46 PM
Gil,
I have done a couple rim recesses with piloted counterbores. Turn a new pilot to fit the chamber and grind a slightly larger counterbore t the diameter of the rim recess. If you don't have a toolpost grinder, you can "rig" a hand grinder in the milling attachment to make one. I find that 4 or 5 small cutoff discs(trued) stacked on the handpiece makes a satisfactory grinding wheel. I turn the work backward and the grinder forward, but friends disagree with that. Cover the bed and dovetail surfaces well. Use a piece of sheet metal to block the sparks from catching the cover afire. I always turned the counterbore by hand to prevent catastrophic mistakes, but I can understand setting the barrel/extractor between centers in the lathe with the counterbore in the headstock and a plug with center in the appropriate barrel muzzle. I would still loosen the belts and turn the chuck by hand, rather than under power.

Parabola,
Very entertaining to watch, thanks for sharing! Humbling to watch such great shooting in that strong wind, amazing what a .410 can do!

Re: 2023 / 410 Championship UK Parabola 09/27/23 12:15 PM
Johnny at TGS did well to get that very nice AyA No. 4 .410 at just under £1,000.

I have looked at Guntrader UK where a new one is on offer at £8,222 (more than a pair of second hand No. 2 .410 AyA sidelocks), and a similar second hand one at £3,495.

There is one at the next Holts estimated at £700 to £900 (I.e. up to £1,200 with the buyer’s premium).

Good afternoon. Need help identifying the manufacturer of the gun. The barrels have Saint-Etienne markings and Suhl markings as well.

That is a really interesting Rube Goldberg contraption. Would love to have it in hand and play with it awhile. Points of firing pins appear flat and original. Some early primer variation?

Drew could also have mentioned that the PGCA forum requires real names for conversations between members on the forum. Sadly, the Fox Collectors forum does not require such identification. Even as a life member of the Fox organization, I have no idea who I am corresponding with.

Re: Identify a Stock from the Inletting..... Hugh Lomas 09/26/23 08:52 PM
Pretty Much all, Mk1,2 &3 Matadors left the factory with an auto safety. It operates from a straight wire rod operating from the under bolt through to the front of the trigger block blade. As soon as it gave problems with auto engaging with the first shot (Quite common) it was easily removed by withdrawing through the stock. Dimensions were @ .060" dia x 1" long. next time you have one in check for a small hole drilled from the rectangular bolt recess to the trigger blade.

2023 Vintage Gunners Trophies are heading to USPS Joe in Charlotte 09/26/23 12:26 AM
Hello all,

I have found addresses for everyone who did not collect their trophy at the Vintage Gunners Cup.
It was hot. I can't blame anyone for heading for a/c.

Some folks left before the scores were posted.

Rest assured, your trophies will be with USPS in the morning.

All Best,

Joe Norcom

Re: E.M. Reilly; History; Chronology; Serial Numbers Argo44 09/25/23 01:31 AM
Thanks to Stephen Howell for calling this to my attention:

There is a single barrel Reilly advertised on Holts - a .297/.250 side-lever rook rifle.
https://www.holtsauctioneers.com/as...+++713+&refno=++204441&saletype=

Holts says in the advertisement that the SN is "2943." Holts' own photos, however, shows a Reilly SN 35394 on the gun. It has "E.M. Reilly & Co., 295, Oxford Street, London" on the barrel; the chart originally dated this SN to early 1903:
[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

But there is a problem. Holts' already has published a Reilly SxS shotgun allegedly with SN 35394, a 12 bore without mention of an address on the rib and with very minimal photos, which was postulated to be the last gun built in Feb 1903 at 277 Oxford Street.
https://www.holtsauctioneers.com/as...++5608+&refno=++149905&saletype=
[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

Obviously there can't be two 35394's. So it's best to believe the eyes and put the rook rifle into this slot and not the SxS which only relies on Holts' advertising accuracy. This is going to require a slight redo of the chart again around the time of the changeover from 277 to 295 Oxford Street, Feb 1903 - May 1904.
-- 35394 (the rook rifle) now moves to May 1904.
-- 35386 (address on barrel not mentioned), a .410 top lever SxS, is now assumed to be the last extant Reilly gun made at 277 Oxford Street Feb 1903. It is owned by "Roger Hill" and was mentioned in one post but no other references.

Reilly "3"'s and "5"'s are very similar and have often been confused. So, the 12 bore, Side lock, non extractor SxS advertised by Holts as "35394," has been moved to the 35594 slot (with a question mark). (Holts has mis-advertised Reilly's before).

Holts started off referencing this site's work. About 4 years ago I wrote to them about a couple of misidentifications. They have since gone their own way on dating Reilly's and refuse to use the work at all, alone amongst the other auction houses, or even to answer any queries. The gun industry is filled up with egos and opinions and these can get personal and dogmatic in a hurry and evidence be damned.

Hi Keith

Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been playing around with both methods over the summer and discovered this, that if I take a soft wire wheel used for carding, that the wheel will remove the heat blued finish but not the charcoal blued one. In fact the charcoal blued finish looks better after carding.
