Your firing pin spring is more than 50 years old. Replace it with a new 24 LB spring.

In 50 years of collecting, I have only see one P14 shootable barrel for sale. Good luck finding one.

The sling is a civil war musket sling.

Try an RCBS #9.

Please let us know who is making swaged musket balls. The Enfield and Parker Hale muskets shoot best with 65 grains of ffg. Under loads will not seat the skirt in the barrel. Those under loads...

This is in the Resistance Museum in Oslo Norway. May early '30s M98Ks all welded togeather.

They were sold through the DCM many years ago. THey are match quality and the same bullet that is in the M118 match ammo.

It is a Model 1868 50-70 trapdoor made in 1870. It IS NOT a Model 1870! Model 1870 TDs were not serial numbered. For a complete description and valuation, see trapdoorcollector.com.

It is the Winfield Arms version of a Johnson sporting rifle. They sold both sporters and original rifles.

Nice start. I too started out with the goal of getting a representative piece from every country in WW2. I eventually got them all and then decided to specialize in US military rifles of all...

There is no reason not to use the powder if you are moving it case-to-case.

In spite of all the rude remarks, it is a simple inletting job. Makes an interesting eye-catching stock.

The "story" you heard is pretty close. They are Bannerman type aftermarket guns. There are many commercial ads from the turn of the last century where they are advertised for $1.50 as shotguns. ...

THe stock shown in a poor bubba attempt at an A4 stock. THe bolt cut on a correct stock is made by an initial cut with an end mill and the center is then dished out with a ball mill. Here is a...
