I see that you're in Everett. Bring it down to the south sound...I just saw a T-Rex walking by the Puyallup Walmart.:) Beautiful rifle!

I'm in the wood finishing phase of a Colonial 58 cal smoothbore. Had the barrel jug choked for a little better shot patterns. I agree with just enough work in my kit to feel like I helped build it....

Yep..1903 Springfield sporterized and rebarreled to 35 Whln.

Check out North east Trade Co. They have a wide selection of push through sizers. I've not used them yet. I just picked up a 52 cal Knight Muzzy. Waiting on a custom conical mold before ordering the...

Give Jes rebore in Oregon a call. I'm sure he could tell you and do the work. His website might even tell you what you need to know.

I bought a Canadian Centenial 30-30 with the 26" octagon barrel from a member here. Once it arrived, I turned right around and shipped it to JES Re Bore in Oregon to be turned into a 38-55. The...

Thanks for the info.

Can you share any price information or contact for the new owner of this fine rifle?

I had bought a #3 in 45-70 just for the action. It is now a 50-70 gov't with a 28" octagon barrel. The wood was replaced with a #1 stock set. A local gun smith (Taylor Machine) did the conversion...

The belled case mouth caused me a problem with chambering when I was first learning to load for my Shiloh.

In the words of Teddy Roosevelt Speak softly and carry a Big Stick! Fine deer taken with a Fine weapon.

Does not need anything now. Barrel and fore end are sold.

A friend of mine called me and wanted to show me a sxs shotgun that he found while cleaning out his late fathers estate. The shotgun was in pieces, as the buttstock was broken and seems the action...

I don’t know… Texas Ranger La Boeuf in True Grit used a Sharps 50 to take a turkey. It did tear it up a little though!lol

50-70

Somebody mentioned 50-70 Govt? That's what I have. It's a #3 action with #1 wood set. John Taylor did the re barrel. It's a real powder puff. I'll look for a picture.

I picked up a used Canadian Centennial off the forum a couple years ago. That 26" octagon barrel just screamed 38-55 to me. One call to JES and she left a 30-30 and came back home a 38-55! Now it...

It would be nice if they offered a peep disc for the ladder portion, similar to the rough and ready style rear sight. I've thought about talking to a machinist friend to look at mine and make me a...

I've got a Skinner Ladder sight mounted on a 38-55. The sight is high quality and solid. My complaint is not with the sight but my crappy eyesight! I'm thinking that I need to try a peep sight...

288995. I was gifted my grandfather’s 03. I went vintage scope too. I think it’s a Lyman. Can’t remember, have to pull it out and check.

287927My 40-65 came as a project with John Taylor barreling a #5 action with a lone star rifle co. 28”x1” barrel. I took over an did the wood work. The wood is a Treebone “plain” maple set.

Check out Skinner sights. I put a ladder sight on my 38-55. Made in Montana. Excellent quality.

Wondering if JES Reboring in Oregon could do it? He lists 50 Alaskan on his web site. I had him do a 38-55. Nice work shoots great. Worth a call.

I’m no expert but definitely NO airspace between bullet base and powder column. Most use some type of wad material under bullet to protect the base.
