revided Shenandoah

[Klaus]

after i bought this Rifle last year i found some time to revised this Shenandoah Rifle, Stock sanded and oiled,Barrel browned and the Lock tuned and changed the rear sight into a fullsize Buckhorn.

nice shooting with 50 grs Wano Nr 1 , .440 Ball and .25 Patch

For the Target:
7 on six an five o`clock are the first sighters.
Sight adjusted, next 9 on three o`clock all rested on a Bank.
rest of shoots are freehand on 55 Yards.The Rifle shots great and all flyers are my fault.
Have to do some more practise

Klaus :wink:

What caliber is this gun that can use a .440 RB and a .25 patch? That's an awfully thick patch. When placed around a ball, it is a half an inch! So the bore must be .94 caliber! Holy mackerel!

Nice rear sight. Where did you get it?

Actually it sounds like a 46 caliber. Some 45's were actually 44 (numrich arms ) and some close to 46 (some early GM.)
