Appreciate it!
I had been under the impression that the 1905 was a predecessor to the Victory model. But, like I say, I'm not the most savvy on the S&Ws.

I'm completely new to Smith & Wessons, let alone the milsurps.
I ran across this Model 1905 and snagged it. Curious if anyone has any resources for a guy to do some research or even some info.

Yeah, after you commented I went and looked. Sure enough, I hadn't seen his reply. Yours was the last one I had seen. Notifications had only sent me yours I guess, so I hadn't checked that forum....
Much appreciated!!! I hadn't seen your reply and was researching earlier, your info confirms what I was looking for.
Thanks!!!!
You mean the post in the gunsmithing forum?
Unless I've missed one, the only response I got to that question was to try in the Enfield forum. I hadn't seen a reply that had an answer.

I realize I'm reviving a 5 year old thread, but I'm doing so with good reason.
Shortly after starting this thread, we sold our place and moved. As a result, this project got put off. This...
What are the odds anyone knows what threads that screw would be? I still have a sliver of the screw in the threads that's being a pain, so I'm prepping ahead if I need to chase threads or not with a...
Curious if any of you guys might have some insight into this one. I got this 1889 several years ago and I've wondered about it apparently being unfinished metal since. I always thought it was just...
So, I ended up drilling it after I wasn't finding anything else that seemed to be an option.
I still have a little bit of the outer part of the screw in the threads to get out, but I'll get to...
Looking for some assistance before I dive too far in.
I've got a project No. 5 carbine I got a couple years ago and am finally getting back around to toying with. However, I've ran into a bit of...
Appreciate the info and parts sources, guys!! I'll do some looking around.
I'm afraid you're right on the rear sight release spring, Gaijin. I'm going to keep an eye out for a bit and see what...
See how this works for ya.

I added a new one to the collection and am trying to learn about the Type 30's now. I've done some researching and I think I have a feel, but I know there's a wealth of knowledge in here that might...
Mine (2/17 Winnie) is a lot like yours in that it likes the 150 gr. flat base spitzers. It does OK with BT's, but the FB's are considerably better.
I've been tweaking using Garand loads with 4895...
Awesome info. Thanks gents!
That's what I needed to know! Thanks!!!
Rather than starting a new one, I figured I'd "revive" this thread.
I'm currently working on 38/200 loads. I've got the projectiles from Matt's Bullets (200 gr RN) and my options for powder are...
Handy I stumbled on this, as I have a question that's related.
I have a mess of POF rounds I obtained. For some reason I had it in my head it was boxer primed, but found it wasn't after I pulled...

You're correct, it is missing. Not looking forward to that now. LOL May try your brazing trick.
I appreciate the info and got with Brian a little bit ago. Looks like I'm going to have to do some saving to pull off the full treatment on it. I'm sure it'd be well worth it, just outside the...
OK, you've got me intrigued. I had essentially wrote of the "full treatment" due to cost. So, let me ask some questions.
How does one fix/repair the pitting? Or do you?
What is the...
Ugh, I wish I had the funds for a full treatment! That's going to be part of my hurdle. I can take my time and get the wood and small parts to get it operating, but a complete refinish I would...
Here are some more shots of the metal as I start disassembling. I can only make out one small marking, the rest appear to be worn completely off.

The sling is long gone. I've been watching SS as well as some other sites and have located a lot of the parts. The hangup is that handguard. Like I say, I'm going to be looking at making one out...
