Long term I want everything to be correct to include stampings.
Right now I am using stamped 45-70 government brass from Starline and some some 8x56R Privi brass. It works fine, but I long to have the exact right thing.
I expermented with a file on the 45-70 brass to remove the very light stamping and that work ok, but coming up with a stamp to put the right print on is another thing. My hope is to find some shop that will make a 10,75x52R Springer stamp.
The gun is not headed to Africa (at least I doubt I will ever take it there as I have no intention of going there) It will stay here in the states and maybe Canada.
It is an idea that will have to stay in the good idea bin.
In the meantime I have broken and brought another Double Rifle last night. I am afraid this one will be a bigger project gun than the first in terms of condition. For $2,900 I could not say no. When it comes in I will post on it.
