Re: Parkhurst carbine
I've always had good dealings with S&S Firearms. IIRC - The company's founder(s) had a connection, through marriage, to the Bannerman family. Back in 1968 to 1976, when I went to CW shoots at the North-South Skirmish Association range at Winchester, Virginia, S&S Firearms had a large booth i...

Re: Parkhurst carbine
Very nice Tom, the 'Parkhurst Clips' beautifully accessorize your carbine. Thanks for sharing!
(Any thoughts, about my theory, that the 'hole' in your stock's bolt-notch provided clearance for a model 1896 bolt-handle)?

Re: Parkhurst carbine
Oh, you were referring to the 'headless' cocking-piece on Tom's Parkhurst carbine.

Re: Parkhurst carbine
Bill: If you are referring to the 'flat area', on the bottom of the bolt handle, the bolt with the long 'flat' is an 1898 bolt. The shorter 'flat' is a feature of model 1896 and 1892 bolts. The model 1898 receiver had some simplification in shape and machining steps. The receiver and stock changes (...

Re: Parkhurst carbine
I am noticing 'impression marks' in the wood (arrows). I suspect a model 1896 bolt was being used with your 'Parkhurst' carbine, at some time.
The drilled hole in the stock 'notch' may have been an attempt to achieve some wood-clearance for an incorrect model 1896 bolt-handle?

Re: Guide Lip Issue
You did not mention the 'crack' in the plate at the start of this thread.
The plot thickens .... that guide lip will ultimately fail.
You will have to reuse the current rivet or make one.

Re: Guide Lip Issue
POHO - I simply reset the original rivet, so that the 'guide-lip' plate was locked securely in place.
There was no need to disassemble anything.
IMO - You are making something simple, more complicated than it needs to be.
You probably already fixed it!

Re: Guide Lip Issue
I put a "parts Krag" together, starting with a basically 'stripped' action. The receiver did have its guide lip, but it was bent & loose on the rivet. I judiciously tapped the guide into proper shape using a copper mallet and a hardwood block for support. I 'punched' the inside-end of ...
