Had this Hepburn for years now, and finally getting going on it. My friend Gordy called this morning to tell me he had fit the Green Mountain .40 caliber #4 weight barrel to it. It's now a 34" #4 weight full octagon. I also had Gordy cut it for an old Lyman windage globe front sight, and add target bases at 7.25" spacing on the barrel, so I can put a scope on occasionally, or to work up loads more accurately. But it will have iron sights 99% of the time, until my eyes get too bad for them.
The Green Mountain barrel came nicely finished on the exterior, and better than any I've ever purchased previously! It wont take 30 minutes with some sandpaper and oil to get it ready for me to rust blue it! It could probably just get blued even, as it's very smooth!
Gordy left it apart for me so I can polish it, and then I'll put the barrel back on and reassemble it. Need to cast some bullets soon also, so I have more selection to choose from when working up loads!
This is a double set trigger action, and has really great triggers!
