So here I am again folks....having a touch of Rolling Block BLOCK
So my first rolling block and most forgotten....doesn't even have a breach block. Its a saddle ring carbine model...I think No .1 or is it a No.5? It has the hole in the barrel thread area for a sliding extractor and is color case hardened on the receiver and trigger guard...could be 1897.....I believe it was from a rifle chambered in .43 Spanish. It is just an action but is missing this breach block entirely and mainspring....
then I have an battered egyptian police rolling block with no mainspring, broken firing pin, no rear sight assembly and buggered up screws and broken/cracked stock.....
I of course already know of Mr. Womack...but my problem is why can't I find RB parts anywhere else? Not that I don't want to go through him...I just don't understand why these parts are so dang hard to find. I will probably get all the parts for the egyptian through him but I should be able to find the block somewhere? Anyone have any suggestions??? I just want to get these guns working agian.
Thanks
