We don't have woodchucks here, but crows pull up young corn seedlings, and play havoc with peanuts, too. I can sympathize with your Dad. I have an old 1947 Husqvarna Mauser .220 Swift that does occasional duty on crows.

Good luck in your search for ammo.

The "E.W." (often cursive, but sometimes straight) has appeared here in the forum various times, and I think Raimey gave several possible interpretations for it being a barrel maker's or barrel assembler's touchmark.

Now, the heart sign is a bit intriguing to me (but aren't mattters of heart always...?), because I have seen it too.
I find it on the 6,5x58R barrel of a nice Drilling of mine, Suhl nitroproofed; but the adjacent (repeated) small initials are "R.H" there.

Have not really shot many crows. My dad used to use these rifles to shoot woodchucks that were burrowing in his fields and eating his corn.

Can't help with ammunition but, have fun with those rifles. First thought that came to my mind is, do you hunt crows?

I just bought a Beretta SPll 12 gauge with an automatic safety. Had to take it to a smith to have it changed to a manual safety. Works great, now!! 👍

I have recently acquired two nice single shot rifles. One is chambered in 219 improved zipper and the other in 222 rimmed. I’m interested in buying loaded ammunition or brass for both of these rifles.

A way too long FP can keep the gun from closing.
If the pin is hanging way out there, it's tip can end up underneath the extended extractor/ejector while closing the bbls. That makes for a clunk as the pin hits the underside of the extractor.
That can bend the tip on the already too long FP as well as put some dent damage on the underside of the extractor blade.

The extractors should have a shallow beveled cut in them to push a proper length FP (shorter protrusion) back into the action as the bbl is closed.

Cut the pin back so it allows somewhere betw .035 and .045 protrusion and with a nicely rounded and polished point.

Most everyone will have a perfect protrusion length for a FP, but I have found the above to be completely reliable with proper hammer fall and HS. Plus no un-necessary extra length to it.



...No peened yoke screw in the CSMCo Fox that I ever ran into. Not to say that they never did it though..

Piercing the primer? Be careful it doesn’t protrude from the breech face when the gun is cocked, it could fire at closing.

Good luck.

Cool. One less thing to screw with.

I have a competent gunsmith making a new pin, but wanted to try my idea. So I cut off an old drill bit, using a carbide blade in my dremel tool I reduced the forward end to approximate diameter and cut the slot where the retaining screw rides. It looks like I am about 1/16 too long. Before I shorten it I was wondering if there is a negative to leaving it long, as long it doesn't stick out too far from breech face.

I have four Superposeds here at the moment, and five Mirokus (same as a Citori).

Not one of them have automatic safeties.

Great looking gun.

Congratulations on finishing the project.

They ain’t my bag, but, I’m thinking every Browning O/U I’ve ever handled had an automatic safety. Berettas too, to be honest.

Is the factory version of that part that much different than your loose in the box version?

Best,
Ted

I'd love to find some of that myself!!! Please let me know if you do!!!

Nailed it.

He's nothing but a troll, and why his behavior is allowed is baffling.

I think those of us that are sick of his crap should blow up any topic where he's allowed to behave like that.

Easy Tiger and don’t be besmirching the good Isaacson name.
Perhaps some kind of After-market, Euro-trash, Bean-counting, Buero-part meant to satisfy some stupid rule or regulation.
Who knows?

For cryin' out loud Ghostrider, you left out the best part. According to the emails I get, kieth is too stupid to figure out how the IGNORE system works. Just like I said before, he's just an anti-gun troll acting like a big time gun owner. Put him on IGNORE like I do and forget it.

Nice example of the First Model.The peep sight looks like a Lyman. I wonder if Marble bought then in or made their own sights.

I will be out hunting turkeys in New Mexico for the next week.
So take your time to respond Keith, or who ever you are this week as I will actually be out using a couple of my fine guns while you hide behind your keyboard fantasizing and trying to make me your next victim. 😝.

Keith leave me out of your personal attacks, it took you over a week to get the balls up to try to fire back with your childish comments. You are just a miserable prick that try’s to throw a turd in the punch bowl on every post.
Be quiet little one, this is a site for adults.
By the way you never had the guts to PM me.
I bet you are a little troll living in your mother’s basement, next door to your best friend the Nazi.
We all know your kind, playing a badass behind the keyboard.
It’s clear you don’t have a life, your continual immature attacks are getting old. You try to bully your way on this sight.
Patting yourself on the back with your bullshit yet never posting any pictures of your fantasy guns.
Go away you little boy.
It’s time people that are fed up with your hate and nastiness voice their thoughts of your immature tirades. Many are afraid to be put on your personal attack list. This is why many don't stand up to you. The slithering skill you have honed to put down others, is a weak attempt to make you feel better about yourself.
You are like the little worm that would sit in the back of the classroom in grade school, creating a disturbance to try and get attention.
Most of the members on this forum have figured you out, you try to act like a tough guy but would put you tail between your legs and run if you ever had the misfortune of meeting any of the fine people you stalk, on the street.
Why you have been allowed to stink up this fine site with your festering and putrid infection baffles most of us.
Now go back down into your mother’s basement and try to pretend to be someone.

Ribald? Perish the thought. 😉

You are going to throw it away, right Bob?

That you reported that Art’s has never seen one leaves me a bit uneasy, or, would, if I was into the Browning thing…

Best,
Ted

trails4u,
Thanks for the feedback. I have 24 ga Magtech brass but was hoping for some jamison 577 Snider brass.

I have personally honed over 75 Shotgun barrels both Damascus and fluid steel. Some had pits as deep as 11 thousandths which were removed. Will they sometimes be considered out of proof? Sure, but they can still be saved and made usable. I start with 80 grit and end with 1000 grit. Wall thickness gauges are a must. You would be amazed at how many barrels can be honed and still be put back into service safely. But you have to know what you are doing. Most of the shooting value in a Shotgun is in the integrity of the barrels. Epoxy I do not believe is a viable solution.
