Picture of that single shot you just bought.

Let's see them. Manufacturer, and caliber, and what your plans are for it.

[marlinman93]

With the state closed down, and no gun shows anywhere close, I've only purchased one single shot rifle, and that was last year from Simpson Ltd. My gun fund has been building the last year, so whenever things do open up here I think myself and others will go on a buying spree!
Showed this one before, but it's the unique Rolling Block I got from Simpson's. All I did was make a new firing pin, and screw, and repair some missing wood chips.

It's a very cool old sporter, and I found it thanks to someone here posting a link to it, when it was offered for sale at Simpsons.

[MOA]

I got this one also from Simpson about three weeks ago. I had planned on sending it to JES for boring it to 40-65 Winchester. Jesse explained that rechambering to that cartridge would not clean up the shoulder area of the 8x58RD current chambering. So I'll have to get more funds together and take it to Al Story's Brochardt Rifle Company this Spring or sooner if funds become available. I'll use their barrel and let them do the chambering and fitting. It's nice his shop is only two hours away on a nice drive down picturesque New Mexico Hwy 181.
It's a 1867 Remington.
Conversion date 1896.
Chambering is 8x58RD.

Who made it and what caliber?

[RustyReel]

Shows have been going on down here for a while now. I picked this up a few months ago at a show near me. Paid $140 for it which I think was about $40 too much but have never actually seen one like it. I've seen doubles using this action type but this is the first single I have seen. No makers or seller marks that I can find but it does have belgian proofs on the frame and barrel. It is a 16 ga. Chamber is not well defined so I'm going to stick with 2 9/16" when I get around to loading it. Where I shoot doesn't allow scatterguns so going to try to work out a round ball load of some sort. Bore is good, lots of "patina" on the outside. Sorry for the poor pics, just one of those days.

Just an FYI, there is a show in my area tomorrow but I ain't going as I'm sure it will be a zoo and there will not be any bargains. Forget bargains, there probably won't be anything reasonable. Super spreader event on top of that!

[MOA]

Rusty, what kind of marking are on the water table. It should have some Mark as to chamber. Likely a number in milimeters with a circle around it. Sorta of like this:



https://i.postimg.cc/k5L78F2R/20190313-142417-1.jpg (https://postimg.cc/GBJ0nDJb)


It shows the gauge (12) and the (70) which is the chamber length of 70 millimeters. Look to see if your water table has this type of marking.

[RustyReel]

Nope, no such markings. Here is a pic of the marks on the barrel (don't have any handy from the frame). The number in the bottom of the pic that is partially blocked is 17.0 which I understand was a common makings for 16 ga guns and means 17 ga bore??

277464

[MOA]

Rusty, the frame is where you'll find markings if any that will give you the length of shell you should be using. European shotguns, especially the older smokeless and almost all of the black powder guns have extensive proof stamping and other informative marking on both barrels and frame. Here's one that informs you about the choke on the barrels. This is also a 16 gauge barrel.

https://i.postimg.cc/BQfCSXCq/20190305-150551-1.jpg (https://postimg.cc/QVS7SNPP)

[RustyReel]

Ain't much there. I think these are black powder proof marks but I'm not sure. Only info I could find suggested this type of firearms was made around 1870 so I'm thinking I stick to black when I get around to shooting it. Anything you can decipher will be appreciated.

277472

[Winger Ed.]

Not sure if it counts--

It's 12 ga. BP percussion.
From the proof marks, it was made in Belgium between 1840 and 1890.
Just a wild guess, but from the wear & tear, and repairs- it looks like a Civil War veteran.

I found this in a thrift store for $50. not too terribly long ago. I couldn't leave it there.
I re-soldered the pieces between the barrels, re-blued it, and hung it on the wall.

[marlinman93]

Who made it and what caliber?

I believe this is a Remington action, and a very early one with the set screws holding the pins instead of the plate. No markings anywhere, so unknown for sure. But caliber is 12.7x44R Rem. M67.

[Buzz Krumhunger]

I have a Number Three in .30-40. It wallops me pretty good with factory 220gr loads. I sure wouldn’t want to shoot a Number Three in .45-70..

[Huvius]

This is my newest single shot.
Holland and Holland chambered in 35 Winchester. Made in 1896.
Was originally a 303 but I assume it had a bad bore as many of the early 303s developed and was rebored.

Husqvara made in 1874 Swedish M67 in 12.7x44R. Been looking for a M67 in original military configuration with unit disk but in 12.7x44R with a shootable bore for a while to go with my modest collection of Swedish military rifles, all of which are shot with cast. Almost passed on it, as it was marked 1910 Eric Olsson by a previous owner or holder, but the markings grew on me, and now I like them as part of its history. Searching, I found several Eric Olsson's alive in 1910 in Sweden. Rifle number 20 of the 4th Company of the 18th Infantry Regiment. Here's a link so you can hear the Regiment's march song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfEcp9vxRok&t=21s I need/want to get a Husqvarna made M67 bayonet for it.

Already found an accurate load: Lee 515-450 cast 20/1, sized .512" (groove diameter is .5115" on mine), 50/50 lube, 12.0gr Unique, 50 Alaskan converted brass, 2.27" oal, WW LRP. Haven't chronographed it yet, but estimate 1050fps. No brass resizing needed, but have to very slightly bell case mouth to start bullet and then remove the bell, but not crimp, in order to fully chamber the loaded round. With rear sight as low as it will go (120 Swedish Alen's), it's 3" high at 75yd and 1/2" low at 100yd. 120 Alen would equate to slightly under 80yd. I prefer a mild load, easy on brass, rifle and me. At 100yd, most shots hit a 3" circle, but a few miss, and I think it's due to me and that "superb" heavy trigger pull. Bullets all hit point first. Good grief, but do those large bullets go through the alloy and lube!

The below group was at 35yd while I was testing different loads and needed the target close enough for my eye sight; it's the 12.0gr Unique load. The recovered bullet shows it conforming to the deep grooves in the bore. Loaded rounds next to a .223. I have the bullet seated out a touch to get closer to the rifling. Since I don't carry the rounds in a pouch or pocket or combat, I'm not worried about the exposed lube picking up dirt or gunk.

I own two #1 Remington Rolling Block rifles in .22LR. They indeed are overkill in a .22RF chambering, but very cool and fun to shoot too!

I acquired a Winchester High Wall, barreled by H.M.Pope in 1896, his barrel number 53 and serial number of the gun jive with records. Pristine bore. Resurrected/restored from a neglected condition by Steve Durren. .32-40.

Buddy had one when were were kids. He had some loads the were low end 458 Win Mag level. That is the worst kicking firearm I have ever shot. 40 plus years later I haven't warmed up to the Ruger Single Shots due to that particular #3. The Rugers are great guns and I have no legitimate reason for not liking them. Mostly I have Highwalls, Trapdoors and Sharps.

[single shot jimmy]

I shot a 45-70 No.3 30 years ago. I don't need to shoot this one to remind me. Bought it because it was a great price. Really should trade it for a different caliber.

Nice 44 Charlie. That gold ring scope should get you sighted in quickly. What are your loads going to be? I've a gold ring same style. Mine's a 1-4 power. Has a 4 inch eye relief due to it being on a 400 Jeffery.

[Cosmic_Charlie]

@ MOA. Initially my loads will be a powdered coated 240 gr. boolit over 11.1 gr. HS-6. It's a load that works well in 7.5" SBH. Tried a few before I got the scope mounted and they do about 1500 fps. I've got some WW296 but no 240 grain XTP's which have always been good at full power in various 44's. I did load a few of my PC boolits over 21 grains of 296 and they did 1730 fps. without leading. Maybe I will load some of those for my Saturday range trip. My alloy is about 15bhn.

[Fishoot]

Just tore down this rifle. Plan to colorcase the receiver and reface the breechblock. Just received a .44 barrel from green mountain to mount on it. Plan to make it a 44 Special or maybe 444 Marlin...

[GARD72977]

44 spl would be perfect!

[Jim22]

Bought this Ruger No. 3 in 45-70 last year. I'm tempted to rebarrel it to 30-40 krag or trade for one.

I had one as well. They kick hard! Because they are so light. I put a .375 barrel on it - 27 inches long. Sent it to JD Jones to have it chambered to .375 JDJ. The long barrel adds weight and makes it about as long as a bolt rifle with a 22" barrel. My testing with 250 Sierras got to 2650 fps. Have been working up cast boolit loads for it recently. Aiming for 250 gr. at 2,000 fps.

Just got this Remington H&R Handi last weekend. Very late in production, which could be a problem, but the rifle looks right, locks up tight as a vault. And I got it cheap!!
Still working on sights, this rifle was sent out drilled and tapped, but without sights.
Interesting anomaly, all the holes in the barrel for sights are the correct 6-48 except the hole for the front sight which is threaded, but so tiny it is about the diameter of a toothpick!
I suspect since this gun is late production that got past QC. Or...they just didn't care.
I have the correct rear sight, and when I decide what front sight to use it will be a simple matter of drilling and tapping.
The little banger will go well with my trapdoor sporter and my rolling block business rifle. I like 30gr. of 3031 and a 400 gr. cast bullet.

[MOA]

Nice handi rifle Mike. By the looks of your brass and the mention of it's companion long arms the chambering is 45-70 too.

Well sounds like it's working ok Charlie. I'm a little suprised at 15bhn but the PC seems to be working too.

I was going by memory on that HS - 6 load. 11.5 is what I have been using. Yes, the PC works great. Shot the same boolit over 23 grains of W 296 with no leading and great accuracy out of my SBH yesterday. Going to try some just off max loads in the Henry next time out. Also some 265 and 300 grain j words.

Longer barrel, PC should still work fine. What PC is on them?

[marlinman93]

Debating another single shot right now, but not sure if I want or need it? It's an old friend's Winchester 1885 early flat spring in .219 Wasp, with a 20x Super Targetspot. He said he has 10-12 boxes of ammo, dies, bullets, and wants what he paid for it years ago. The gun is great, and the price is too. But I'm pretty much a Ballard and Remington single shot guy, and I know I'll likely be over it quickly, and want something I am into more.
Just need to decide if it's worth playing with for awhile, and then maybe pass it along to somebody who likes High Walls more than me.

Eastwood gloss black. Loaded some 210 boolits over 15 of HS 6. Velocity should be impressive.

I would probably have to play with it at least long enough to shoot up his ammo, if I trusted he reloads that is. A dozen boxes of ammo is about the time I have completely fallen out of love with something I wasn't certain about to begin with. Neat caliber.

I believe it's all factory ammo, not reloads. But haven't gotten together to see any of this stuff yet. I bought 7,000 L. Rifle and 4,000 L pistol primers from him last week, and while we were visiting he mentioned the High Wall and other stuff. He lives up in the sticks as a hermit, so we get together when he comes to town. So once he tells me when he's coming in again I'll see this stuff, and decide then.

Yes, donor action was from a smoothbore .44 Garden Gun. John bushed the firing pin and fabricated several rifle barrels for it also in .38 Special, .44-40 and .45 Colt. The 10x25mm was a collective brainstorm concocted by my friends and I. We wanted a small capacity case using common .38-40, .40 S&W and 10mm bullets. Cases are simply necked down from Starline .44 Russian in shortened and neck honed Lee .38-40 dies by DougGuy. No case trimming or neck reaming is needed.

how are you making rim fire cases?

If you are asking about my Ballard in .44 rimfire, the question is best answered in my videos. Making the rimfire cases is shown in a two-part video series. The third video is shooting the Ballard with these cases.

Henry H015 break open in the venerable .45-70 chambering. Added lead to the butt stock that upped the original 7lbs weight to nearly 9lbs with peep sights and 10lbs with the scope. Loading smokeless AA5744 with 350 and 420 grain cast in 1:20 alloy, then PC'd and water quenched to up the BHN.

No pictures yet but just picked up an H&R 300 blk with about 30 rounds through it. Guy just had it sitting in the safe, still had box and all the kit for it. Will be my dedicated 300 blk sub shooter for the mihec 240 grain hollow points.

I traded for this rifle from a local gun store. I had seen it at a gun show a year or so ago. I joked to the seller that it looked like someone repurposed an old bed post. The stock is off the rifle and getting prepped for new wood.283399 :lol:

I can be a full-on MAN when I've gotta be, but almost nuthin makes me happier than being a boy with a little single shot and a handful of 22's.

I picked up this Crack Shot a couple weeks ago at our local gun-show, for $100. It needs a little tenderness and care, but it shoots as-is, and the barrel is pristine - inside. I took out a starling with it after church yesterday in the front yard. jd
