Response was made sir. Please clean up your replies. Thank you.
I find that scope mount very interesting. The serial number seems to be the same font/style as the number on my R.E.L Lyman Alaskan mount. The Canadian stamp below that looks original as well. Im not...
Found a good old fashioned cobbler..a REAL one. Took one look and said " I can do that "
Good suggestion. There are a few tack shops around here that I can check in with. Thnx!
Looking for a good cobbler (not peach) to repair an original pair of 1944 British dispatch rider boots. Repairs are need to the upper shoe/in-step on both sides which are cracked. My local guy said...

I have two Longbranch rifles that have CCM marked front nose caps, I'll have to take a closer look to see if there are any other marked parts.. Plenty of other things in the house that are marked CCM...

Would give it a shot, but am at a loss as far as resources for working drawings-dimensions. Is there a reference text or tech manual out there for these telescopes?
Ok, before someone tells me that it would be easier finding an original, Canadian marked R.E.L. mount for a Alaskan Lyman scope, I know that somebody on this forum has a secret cache of Scout...
For your viewing pleasure. She's a bit filthy, so I disassembled her to clean her up good. Was surprised to see that she was cork bedded. First one for me. It looks like someone was practicing their...

(Oops..already listed. New owner tho.)
That looks like an alternative to black powder that I used to use a few years back. It was called "Black Canyon" if I remember properly. Very large grains and was touted as being cleaner burning and...
