    Yes, I prefer to have an integral tenon. It makes no difference which piece it is on, it works the same. Sounds lie you are on the way to having a working gun.

    Yes, the breech plug should be installed properly. Be careful removing it. They can be stubborn but at least it has been out previously. A little penetrating oil and some heat may help. The ramrod is...

    I've restored a few of these for N-SSA shooters. I would leave the letters as it is a part of the history and does not detract from it. Filling them would be a bigger detraction. It looks like you...

    I've been shooting some nickel cases in a 40/65 since 1996. I've lost a few due to cracked necks, more than my all brass cases. I only neck size just enough to hold the bullets securely. Yes, they...

    For what it is worth, I have a pattern for a straight grip shotgun buttstock for the 44/44 1/2 and a duplicating machine. It takes the large Stevens repro plastic butt plate.

    I agree with others than a hunting bullet should be a softer lead, perhaps 25/1 or 30/1 lead tin with no antimony. That big meplat will do a lot of damage but if it expands to 5/8" or 3/4" diameter...

    I've got one of the #1's in 405. I have some 400 grain bullets for it if I ever need anything more powerful. With the 400 grain loads it is a real hammer.

    I'm not sure they have a purpose. They may just be tool runout from machining the rear of the receiver and to provide clearance for the barrel extension.

    You got lucky! I've never had a Ballard barrel not original to the receiver turn up in the right place. Everything else fell into place well also. Should be a really nice #2.
