NORM

As usual, your restorations are amazing. Not only do you hit every detail on these old guns with absolute precision, but you're keeping history alive while you do it. Bravo, man.

I have been ask for some close up , here you go















NORM

Just out of curiosity. On such old rifles do you fabricate your own parts to replace the missing ones or do you hunt down parts?

Very nice job!

most old guns were hand made , if its a part that I can get, I'll order it if not I'll make it, most of the screws on this one I made from screws I bought at hardware store, turn them down in a table motor that has a big drill chuck on it, you can get parts from Dixie gun works and IMA and others places and fit them

NORM

I'm going to try and fire this rifle tomorrow if I get a chance
I made some cartridges 5 69 cal balls is all I have, to get a mould

Norm,

Thanks for the video, brings back fond memories of last Sept when we were all down there. Not bad shooting once you figured out the POI. With the wet and cool weather we have had lately haven't been been to the range and now we are having some dirt work done at our range so it only open on weekends for a while, we have a 50yd, 100yd, 200yd and 250yd range now they are making a 500yd range, I have no idea why, most the members just wanted 300yd range but 5 guys asked for a 500yd range, they be special I guess so all the rest have to pay for it.... sound familar....

We are fortunate I guess. We have a 300 yard range and a 500 meter range.
Norm, what a job you did ! My jaw dropped when I saw the end result. Thanks for preserving a piece of history.
