    An old one sympathetically bough back

    Might be a bit old school for here so Admin can delete if ya want to, anyway here is an old Yeomanry carbine I bought back from a sorry state. Lucky a mate had a good one I could copy the missing parts from.

    I started with a careful strip down and clean, just removing the loose surface rust but not patina. I then made the missing screw for the hammer but the bigger challenge was that all of the retained rammer assembly was also missing. Anyway with a bit of turning and hand work followed by ageing I think it came back just about undistinguishable from the original.Name:  P1000276(1).JPG

    lovely old piece. does it shoot still?
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    Due to the exorbitant cost of reloading components, warning shots will not be given.

    That's exactly the kind of thing we like to see here!

    Preferably followed by a range report to see what happens on paper. And pictures of critters you've harvested with it if that's your thing ��

    Not actually shot it yet, still a blockage in the vent/nipple somewhere so its been soaking a while, it is also smoothbore so will not be up to much.

    Ah the date on the lock is 1847

    If it just goes bang mate that would be something, exceptional in fact...
