Years ago I visited with a Montana gunsmith named Ed Webber who built an 1885 High Wall for me in cal. .40-65. In addition to much range time with it, I also successfully used it to take a bison. Ed was also an avid Remington Rolling Block collector and American Custom Gunmakers' Guild member. He passed away not long ago and I encountered and purchased a little Rolling Block carbine he had built for himself. It's in cal. .50-45, a cartridge I knew nothing about, so I began the process of acquiring brass and finding out how to feed it. As many of you know, .50-70 brass is scarce but in my internet searching I was fortunate to find a business called Ammunition Artifacts. They actually had beautiful annealed .50-45 brass available and 20 cases were in my hands in less than a week. If you go to their site you will be amazed at the incredible variety of brass they provide. Their service is amazing as well. Meanwhile, I already had two .50 moulds casting 440 and 300 grain bullets for my .50 Alaskan. I cut down many .50 AK cases to make additional cartridges. They work well despite the small rim diameter. And despite winter/spring conditions in Montana I've been able to get to my range and test some loads. But this post is mainly to show you what a master gunsmith produced as a personal firearm. And to note how fortunate I am to have acquired it and taken it to the range and develop cast loads for it. Here are some photos for your perusal.
