    Resurrecting a 159 Year old 44 Rimfire

    Here's a piece of history you don't see often

    I saw the very nice vintage 44 Rimfire last year and told its owner I would love to make some brass for it and we could try shooting it.
    And mentioned if he ever wanted to sell it I would be interested

    Well HD contacted me recently and it is now mine.
