Beware of scammers.

I believe Carlos Gove's Denver Armory shop also made DST adaptations on Rolling Blocks in the late 1800's. Have you got a copy of Roy Marcot's Rolling Block Sporting rifle book?

Just received 158 pcs. of BACO brass stretched from .348 Win. from a private party. Of course in typical USPS fashion it took a tour of the whole country, and after almost 3 weeks finally made it here!
I removed the Lyman tang sight and discovered the base screws were one size to small, and finer ...

Anything Browning Bros. marked will get a premium of some sort. I had a friend offer me an H&R .22 Special model pistol that was like new from the 1920's. I really wasn't interested until he told me it was purchased new at the Browning Bros shop in Ogden. I looked it over and no stamp on the gun ...

They were most likely the retailers as they marked almost every gun sold from their shop this way. Not sure if they would have stamped their name on the barrel for simply rechambering it or not, but suspect they wouldn't.

Took my new Hepburn out to our gun club on Tuesday maintenance day to show a couple friends. There were over a dozen guys there in the morning for work day, and beyond my two friends not a single person knew what it was. Several asked if it was a Sharps, and one asked if it was a falling block; at ...

Thanks.
My pocket Canon Power Shot has little illuminated boxes that supposedly focus when I push the shutter button halfway down to tell me it's focused. But for whatever reason I can still mess it up.

Congratulations on your recent acquisition! It looks really nice.

The only criticism I have is the blurry pics.

Cheers!

Sorry. My picture taking always seems to be lacking. Fortunately the Hepburn is nicer than my photography!

My collection of Hepburn rifles just grew by one more yesterday when another arrived via the brown truck. A Hepburn in a rare .45 2 7/8" showed up on another site and I was lucky to see it first and grab it. The .45 2 7/8" is also referred to as the .45-110 Sharps, and was a powerful cartridge ...

Why haven't the Russian posts been deleted, and the person posting them banned yet? Seems like a couple got deleted, but most still clutter up this site.

The schnabel tip with horn inlay was standard after the late 1880's. Prior to that they has steel forearm tips. There are gunsmiths who can convert one from RF to CF, but usually isn't worth the cost unless the price is very cheap to buy it.

It's a No. 2 Remington, but someone has added a high comb to the original buttstock. Probably easy to remove the added wood if you carefully cut it off, and gradually work down to the original surface.
These No. 2 Rolling Blocks have become quite desirable if they are in almost any caliber that's ...

Have you contacted Kenn yet about the missing parts?

The steel schnabel type forearm tips were used almost exclusively on all Remington Sporting rifles built prior to 1886 or so. Only rifles that didn't use them were the little #4 and #6 versions. #1, #1.5, and #2 all used them unless it was a special order stock that might have a horn tip.

The #2 is a much smaller frame with octagon top and curved edges on each end of the receivers. They are sort of a fancy smaller variation.

What you have is an early round top #1 Rolling Block, and it's likely in .38 Long which could be a ...

So why choose 18" then? Seems like you'd be better off going traditional length of the .38-55 cartridge. And wont have a stubby looking Rolling Block.
