Yesterday evening Mr Vulcan visited to see the first shots of a just finished project.
Partly to see this beauty and partly for safety if it blew up and I needed first aid.

A unique 500 Express...

Nice
Glue a sight on and fire it

Looking forward to the range report.
Take a bore mould and get a Tanner mould asap

Yeh FIELD'S actions all lose their case colours pretty well

I will ask the moderators to remove that post.

All the walnut I have on hand here in Akaroa similarly comes from trees planted by the original settlers circa 1850

Take the bet dannyb and then you will have two sets of rings

Micky Duck 11 or 12mm dovetail ?

I can manage both measurement systems

These are in the way to Danny to try and are the correct 25.4mm ones

dannyb these ones are real low
About 8mm

Just put a smaller scope on yours
Would look good with a vx3 1.5-5 227351

dannyb I have a few sets of Sako rings like that in the workshop

Will go look after my chicken curry

It shoots really nicely

Micky Duck yes a very good thing the 3" doesn't fit because it's easy to keep safe from the wrong rounds going in the Hollis

When I sort the 1885s little fault I will do some testing and then...

Marty Henry the 45-70 405 grain powder coated bullets are off the shelf Black Widow bullets. Cheap and easy, ready to go
