Absolutely helpful and interesting. Thank You for sharing. W. ZEE

Thanks Olut, I appreciate the information. It is getting rough to find any detailed information on some of these specialists. I would love to know more about him and his methods .... including the scopes he used, etc. When I first came to this forum someone sent me a picture of one of his...

I recent came across a thread in which two historical reference books were mentioned (naturally I can't find the thread now...) Book 1 was "The Muzzleloading Caplock Rifle" by Ned Roberts which I was able to find, purchase and I am presently reading....great reading. The Second book was...

I believe this question was directed to me. Ans. A&H Laundry Booster is what I used. Viva Doria Pure Citric Acid Fine Grain from Amazon.

This was a post I made back Aug. 29th. The bath isn't as hard on the metal as vapor rust and it is amazing. Citric acid from Amazon the other components from any store. No real soak time required less than an hour. Better to not let it stand in the barrel unlike Vapor rust. ZEE

I purchased a double barrel swivel rifle a year or so ago. Both barrels were loaded with rust, so I figured while it was an interesting rifle the odds of me ever actually using it was slim. Even got a container of Evaporust but never got around to using it. Recently came across the posting by...

Not sure what you mean by resetting the trigger. On my single set trigger you have to pull/push the trigger forward to set it or else it won't function. Have you tried adjusting the pressure screw?

Thanks for your replies. I am still working a minimum of 6 days a week so there is seldom time to even get to shoot the rifles I have. My wife says she doesn't understand me still buying more when I can't shoot what I have. Yep, I started down the rabbit hole a couple of years back. A...

My Numrich has rear pep sights but it's missing the fronts sights ...any suggestions. Old guy with old eyes. ZEE

I have a CVA KA709 Kentucky Pistol Kit .45 cal. that is complete and in like new condition. I would like an idea of its value. It is not for sale at the moment. Problem for me is I am not a wood worker and in that regard I keep hearing about removing wood to get the right shape and...

VERY Large is...

How many shots before the great one?

NO! We Shouldn't.

Narfrederick: The procedure for taking the rifle apart isn't all that complicated. Thier are just few screws holding everything together. The lock is held in by one of the two screws on the other side (side plate) of the lock. I don't see pins holding the barrel in place so the second screw...

The rifle is a Numrich Arms. West Hurley, N.Y. .45 Caliber both barrels. Barrel length of 28." Bought it at action so never saw the rust till I owned it back in 2023. Had trouble with the lock and in Dec of 23 OLUT and Grimord helped with fixing the lock ...OLUT sent me a new spring and...

Sent a request for Nit wit to join in the discussion. He should be able to help. He'll help in letting you know what information would be helpful, etc. Removing the lock to see what they did to the trigger may help ... but let Nit wit discuss that with you. Think blanket gun possibly...

There are reasons for not allowing someone to purchase guns ..... not only just being a felon. The O.P might consider a bit different life style if he is that sure of being a target of violence. He might consider talking to a professional concerning his fears as well. Either way he does not...

K.V Yep, it's at Amazon along with "The Heart of Everything that is". Guess I'll have something to read whenever I get a free minute or two. Got both .... Thanks for the lead ...W.Z.

I for one really appreciate the article and I hope the OP does as well ....... and reading it several times over. It takes a lot of research to pin down the actual maker of the guns we acquire. You just handed the OP a great deal of history on the manufacture of his gun. THANKS, bpd.
