The back story is this: A few years ago my father did some work for a lady that had a gunsmith for a grandfather. He had passed away and had left everything to her after his passing. As payment for the work my father did he received a couple of Mausers and misc stuff. So I helped my dad post a few pictures of the Remington #1 action that was a part of the stuff. So as of a few months ago we have enlisted a fellow fire member to do a build on the action of a carbine/carry rifle. More pics to follow,

jeez,....that scratched up, DyKem and Silver Solder Flux stained Masonite bench surface looks vaguely familiar,...
Masonite, is that a product name, or something darker, and more sinister ?

Hmmmm you better be careful or that Masonite may start a devil worshiping cult when you turn your back on it.

The loaded cartridge is a .43 Spanish. The spent one is an 11MM Mauser. The barrel stub is a handy "Comparator",.....welded shut at the muzzle, so's not to freak out the regulators. GTC

Very cool. Great photography, too!

Yep I like that we can do it together. Especially nice to see something come back to a shooter with so much history in the action.

Somebody just sent pics of a disreputable, and tired rear sight for this effort.
....The vendor's asking a ridiculous, inflated price.
All the "New" stuff is so much better, in terms of fit, finish, and intrinsic value, what ?

Neat photos, guys The only roller I ever worked with was one of the Pedersolis in .45-70. It shot accurately despite some sloppy fitting. The eyes were many moons younger then One of these days I should revisit the roller. Preferably an old one

$50 for that vintage Redfield peep is a deal, if it is in good shape. The lever silhouette game is one factor pushing the prices up.
As an aside, I've been playing with a simple modified electronic depth gauge to facilitate accurate elevation settings with this sight, geared toward the silhouette game.

This sight is in as new mechanical condition. Have had my eye on it for a while, and I am glad a project rolled through to apply it to. I've got the "Sporting" version (identical, except it wears "Dime Slots" in the Adjutment heads) on one of my old Springfield '03s. The repeatability is as good or better than a lot of Soules, with good perceptable detents. The only reliable way I know to check repeatability is in a stout vice, with a good dial indicator deployed.

What type of leade are you going to chamber that beauty with?
