I thought you might enjoy this. I think this is being done in China based on what I assume is Chinese writing but I certainly don't know for sure.

Vic,
You might try a light crimp to hold the oversize overshot wad.

A very cool project I was unfortunately unable to sand and finish because of my lung-breathing condition. I bought that stock blank from my good friend Steve Heilmann about 1996, as I remember. A super fancy, perfectly laid-out blank of California English walnut. The original Winchester Low Wall action almost can't be overloaded in a KHornet case. I converted the action from straight grip to pistol grip and from rimfire to centerfire. The stock emulates Winchester's Special Sporting Rifle profile slimmed down with distinct S curve grip bottom and dished cheekpiece. There are ebony V shaped wedges in the bottom of the grip and the fore end. I've built 4 custom Low Walls in this style.
I am fully retired from gunsmithing gunmaking.

Daryl, if you see Robert Harris please say Hi! for me.

Did they have the guts, head, beak and feet still on them, with the bill turned into the birds side and poked right through him? The waiter tried to convince me the colon was empty because a woodcock always emptied it when startled at the flush.

I told him I guess my bird was hit by a car or was constipated, as the shit was clearly still in there. And, I didn’t intend to smear it on toast and eat it.

Best,

Borovlje offerings from(L-R) are 1947(non ejector), 1946(ejectors-Purdey Nose) & 1950(ejectors)(Josef Winkler).

On the 1947, the Dogs have little resistance. But on the 1946 & 1950 w/ the slotted Dogs, quite a bit of resistance & they are a component of the Ejector mechanism.

I just noticed too that the maker code for the 1947 is 40/33( Ludwig Borovnik) & the maker for the 1946 offering is 40/32?

You can make your own quite easily. Simply fit a pencil eraser into the primer pocket. They last a long time and are easily, and economically replaced, if you ever wear one out. As you have several firearms based on the 360EX just cut the cases to a desired length.

Easy there, little ‘feller. I brought up the fact that Dewey and I are in agreement on stock bending. You then said “you two”. I thought you were referring to that post, not someone else.

The Snap-On guy locally refers to the tools you have in your picture as “mechanics unbreakable”. He says it has more to do with the guy who owns them, than the tool.

If you try Phil Pilkington's sanding-in process I don't believe you would ever want to do it any other way. I know I don't. It is 100% predictable, with never any irregularities like you have pictured. No more linseed oil or slacum for me.

My Parker DHE 16/20 refinished this way.

I have absolutely no clue what all this means ... please clarify ..

Nice!

I will try to be nice.

You did a job with those two guns. The Westley Richards sidelever is a classic. It has the things that collectors like, such as the damascus barrels and the sidelever action. The Higham hammer rifle sounds like an old rifle that is easy to handle.

The people who made guns back then were very skilled.

It is getting harder to find guns that're in good shape and the right size. So I think getting two, out of three is a result. The Westley Richards sidelever and the Higham hammer rifle are examples of old guns. I like the Westley Richards sidelever and the Higham hammer rifle because they are old and well made.

From what I understand, it’s mostly a question of meeting each country’s minimum energy and velocity requirements rather than an outright ban on lighter calibers like the 6.5x54 MS. In parts of the UK, especially for deer stalking, older 6.5x54 loads have struggled to meet the legal thresholds, which is why people sometimes think they were “banned.” Modern loads or handloads can sometimes bring them back into compliance depending on the region and game species. The cartridge itself still has a long reputation for excellent field performance despite the regulations.

On this Heym, I now thing under the heading of Guilty by Association that the Script L-Kebler and the odd JY might be that of Gebrueder Kelber?

But the JY(whatever) is nowhere close to the Sütterlin K or Sütterlin Großbuchstabe K

I'm glad I ignore kieth. But, I still get emails telling me all the goofy stuff he says. I was told he stuck some clunker up on a thread that was posted on Gunbroker a decade ago and claimed it was his- that he bought at a yard sale. 🤣 Typical anti-gunner troll. But it's nothing we haven't heard for years. 🥱

John,
I’d like to see what you have left.

Pretty sure you have my email, otherwise, it is in my profile, here.

Best,

While I may not agree with some posters Dave allows, I joined this site knowing it was free speech for the most part.

I support this site and its Moderator. I thank him for staying the course and putting the effort in.
