This is a long term project.
I am finding my 45-90 is getting to my crook back after a long session so will probably sell it.
I have a 45-70 Roller I will keep but want to try a 40 cal so this is it.
Bought the action yesterday as a basis. It has V form barrel threads so not a Remington , but not much in the way of markings. One can just see a K under a crown and a bit of reading makes this one made at the Konigsberg Arsenal in Norway.
I have never seen that Hammer lock business before. The receiver looks to be Nickel Plated although I first thought it was just polished. The pivot pins are a bit worn so I might have to drill them bigger and maybe make new pins from the drill shank. Any thoughts on this or the hammer lock?
