If you still need a 45-70 finish reamer, I have one I could sell, $125 shipped.
It is in excellent condition.
Bought for a project a couple years ago and used only once on a Trapdoor barrel....

That's why its more of a project gun to me... I can hack some iron and wood if need be to fit. A few good photos of the fore end wouldn't hurt to facilitate the end goal.

Just made a trade for a Winchester Mod. 20 that's missing the fore end. Anyone have an idea where one might be found?
I could make one if there's a schematic or drawing I could find, even a few...
I've owned four Bersa hand guns.
First was a .22 back in the early '80s. Then I bought two new Series 95 .380s in the '90s, they ended up with my sons when they got old enough. A few years ago I...

Our local BiMart chain has kept prices down but limited quantity during all the former ammo scares but not any more. I went there last week 300 round brick of Fed blue box .22 $25.
Not too bad...

JSnover,
Thank you for offering photos of your converted Enfield. I'll send you a PM with my email address.

I know Gibbs and I think Navy Arms sold converted No1 and maybe No4 Enfields in .45-70.
Just wondering how difficult the conversion is... Besides trying to get the old barrel off the conversion...
There's really only one that I wouldn't mind getting back: An HK mod 4, West German police trade in. Came with both .22 LR and .32 ACP kits, was looking to get a .380 kit. Bought back somewhere in...

1. Buffington sites as stated above are military issue.

I only have one 10/22 and one BX1 mag with it. The mag won't feed all the rounds, it sticks. Maybe I'm not too smart because I could never get it apart to clean it. I looked on line for directions...

Good shooting! Is your barrel original full length?
Portuguese surplus 7.62x51 is good stuff. I still have a case left.

So does this run like a top load washing machine only it spins in one direction? A photo or two would be nice.

"a 200 yard zero using standard issue 150 gr Ball Ammo..."
Isn't standard MkVII ammo 174 gr? (or am I just being picky?)

coxa2,
A lot of good advice already given but have you taken a magnifying glass and flashlight to inspect the threads on the barrel and in the receiver to see if there's deformities or debris? It...
I bought a Tisas 1911A1 a few months back from Classic Arms for $350+ ship and transfer.
I purposely did not strip clean or lube it and I've fired about 300 rnds through it without a hitch. My...

What about converting to rimless cartridges?
I'd like to replace a .410 barrel with a .45acp barrel but I'm stumped making an extractor.

So, how much whiskey do you have to drink before you pull the trigger on that thing?! :shock::smile:

Stephen,
A shorter action like the DeLisle would be great and solve most of the feeding/extraction problems (if done right) and would make for a nice handy little carbine. Unfortunately the time and...

Deavis,
When I did my No5 Carbine clone I found most of the parts I needed from Numrich gun parts. The No5 used a micrometer rear sight and I found an original at Aim Surplus. Ebay is also a good...

Photos would be a good start. Especially any and all markings on barrel and stock of each rifle. Detail photos of the actions and wood.
