    Lock is old, worn and looks like it's been messed with. In a moment of desperation, I hammered on a few parts and got it working. It looks like it might have been built from scrounged parts. If...

    Who Made This Lock?

    Below are pictures of a modern percussion lock that I hope to incorporate in a new build (by another, not me). Can anyone provide information about the maker of this item, or is it too generic to...

    Lyman finally responded to my inquiry after I sent them a jpg of the sight. The only screws they have are for the modern Lyman sight. Those have a different head than the old sight screws.

    I'm thinking the leading edge of my extractor might have sharp burrs because it most definitely engraves the case rim.

    Good question, lancem. I never thought to check what you've described because the bolt closes easily on an empty chamber. Just to be sure, I ran an empty case through slowly and watched the...

    Hard closure of Win 94

    This is a 1942 gun, caliber 32WS. Seems to function and shoot fine but closing the bolt takes more effort that what I would expect when I close the action slowly. This happens even on an empty case...
