    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 Views: 312 Size: 105.3 KBName: P1000278(1).JPG Views: 313 Size: 119.6 KBName: IMG_6108(1).JPG Views: 299 Size: 142.4 KBName: IMG_6109(1).JPG Views: 297 Size: 182.2 KBName: IMG_6110(1).JPG Views: 300 Size: 175.9 KBName: IMG_6111(1).JPG Views: 295 Size: 168.6 KB

    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
