    Aluminum Mould 911

    Hi my name is Rob Deans and I have experienced something most disstressing. While casting today with my .577 Rapine mould, a round got stuck. I mean stuck. The mould would not open at all. After about 30 minutes tapping, pulling, heating and reheating, banging and cursing the halves finally...

    baker rifle

    I guess its matte.... The only time that I see it that way is just after I clean it, after the hot water evaporates. Its always nicely oiled so it has a sheen to it when its on the wall. Rob

    baker rifle

    I browned my own with the oven and a bottle of Plumb Brown. The barrel fit in diagonally (heat to 350) and you just wipe the solution on with a rag until the metal doesn't sizzle any more. Reheat and repeat... Came out nice and uniform. Did the lock and ramrod too. The ramrod is wearing...

    baker rifle

    No, I didn't build it. Its an Indian Baker. Did some work on the stock and I browned the lock and the barrel. Its developing a nice patina. It was rebarrelled though a fella that Military Heritage referred me to in West Virginia? When it came back it looked a little rough, but some fine...

    Choices, choices

    If nobody minds, I'd like to pick a few brains, as it were... I am currently humming and hawing about whether to purchase a James River Enfield Army Short Rifle with a Hoyt 7 groove, 1:60 barrel or a Navy Arms Parker Hale Enfield Naval Rifle with a 5 groove, progressively rifled, 1:48 barrel...

    Some more flame....

    I would say ................................ No. I must have hit the mouse button by accident while I was trimming the shot (there was a car on the extreme left) and it left one pixle of white at just the right place. Sorry to rain on the parade. I do think that if the camera had caught the...
