    Nice
    Glue a sight on and fire it

    Looking forward to the range report.
    Take a bore mould and get a Tanner mould asap

    Yesterday evening Mr Vulcan visited to see the first shots of a just finished project.
    Partly to see this beauty and partly for safety if it blew up and I needed first aid.

    A unique 500 Express single shot rifle. Scottish circa 1875.
    I only brought it home a few days ago and I really thrashed it on the Bush fix to fit a new hammer and get it shootable again.
    Lots of little faults to deal with.

    It was easily the best first range session I have ever had with a Big Bore vintage rifle.

    But due to the lack of regular Walnut and Blued Steel posts I will hold it back for a few months and let someone else step up and share their new beauties

    @Longrun - if we asked nicely, would it be possible to have some more pictures of the M98 in 7*57 please? It looks like it might be a special one?

    It's a nice rifle. Don't know who put it together. I bought it off @Missalot on here.

    New lease of life for my old 788. Definitely lots learned checkering for the first time, and it’s far from perfect, but it’s mine and I will take great joy in carrying and shooting it!

    Picked up this very average condition Sako Forester 243 on the weekend. Pretty tired after a life on a Stewart Island fishing boat. Gave it a bit of a spruce up and threw on the Leupold M8 & rings. Has a weird ring attachment. Will probably end up in the NZDA Heritage Trust museum but will see if she still shoots. Has bedding issues and the end of the barrel has some pitting.

    Had to do a safe reorganise the other day. Had time for another walnut/blue pic. A nice M1917 I bought off Dad before he sold it out of the family...

    My one. 1982 zkk601 in .243. Almost sold it in a moment of reloading frustration madness but ended up getting it to shoot beautifully. Love carrying this rifle about. Name: Screenshot_20240523_180607_Gallery.jpg Views: 180 Size: 1.78 MB
