So, Its been a while, and the firearm has been in storage since my last post. I bought a house, with a nice garage and will be planning on a workshop soon enough (with a loft for my ham radio shack). So more work is to be done, on ALL of my firearms then. <br /><br />As for now, I will be bringing t...

Ah, yes, I understand now. That is something Ill have to look into. sorry that I read that wrong. :P

<blockquote>I did not buy one. Did any other Forum participant? Does anyone have a late 1950s or early 1960s gun magazine with a "Ye Olde Hunter" advert? If so, please scan & post.<br /><br />Hotwire, you are in BC. Where would you get a new barrel?<br /><br />Another general question ...

I Like the Krag action, I would re barrel it, with a custom barrel and just reuse the action. More info on these salt and pepper rifles would be great.

I have used water before for this purpose. some say distilled (Not very conductive at all), some say salt (Extremly conduc...

Thank you, more to follow.

SO, today I was able to use some stainless steel wool, Hoppes #9, and scrub from chamber to muzzle like a fiend. It was coming out DARK GREY for a good 30 min. After it started to patch cleaner.. "Cleaner".. I slugged the barrel from muzzle to chamber.<br /><br />I did 2 sluggings, both of...

A few more things to add to my post.<br /><br />The swastika is E (Swastika) 5 or F (Swastika) 5 and has a 14 blow it. <br /><br />The serial numbers on the action, and the barrel match. as does the rear site assembly. The odd part about the rear sight... it graduates all the way up to 2200.. is thi...
