I have a few boxes of the Buffalo Bore ammo. Haven’t tried it out yet though.

Just been spending less time online. Out of sight, out of mind for the most part.

I’m a bit late to the party. Haven’t been on the site in a long while.

Have you shot it yet?

It looks to me like an early Mk I**. What’s the date on the top of the barrel? ‘42 or ‘43? It would...

If original, the serial number will be on the receiver, bolt, barrel, nosecap and forend, just like a Mk.III.

I wish I could get my hands on some of that musket ammo here in Canada.

I read an article in an Indian newspaper dated 2010 about prison guards wanting to replace their muskets with modern...

Each of those dummy rounds has been dry fired several hundred times.

I like to use black gasket maker. Smear a gob on the end of the cartridge, let cure for 24 hours, then cut flush with a razor blade.

I’m no Enfield surgeon, but I think Peter is inferring that the barrel is toast and needs to be replaced.

As for centering the barrel in the channel I think it’s a matter of removing a very small...

Modified how? Sunray, if a 2-1/2” or 3” modern .410 shell fits the chamber has been reamed to lengthen it. If it hasn’t been modified the shell will not go in all the way. The original .410” musket...

If a modern 410 shell fits it’s been altered.

That’s a mighty fine looking collection.

What does the 9 on the grips signify?

White blanco (Indian production) can be purchased from What Price Glory. $2US for a broken block about 2 inches in diameter in a round plastic tub.

For the web gear I use while camping and at the...

Perhaps the leather holster is a private purchase by an officer? Looks very nice.

I have a copy of a pamphlet from 1916 written by Captain Charles Tracy and titled Revolver Shooting in War, A...

The OP was asking what the correct holster would have been in WW2 though.

The kukri is from thekhukurihouse.com. The original water buffalo hide split from the cutting edge of the blade sliding between the two slabs of wood of the sheath, so I removed the leather and added...

Canadian made by ZL&T seem to be the most commonly available P37 bolsters on eBay these days. I've got a few of them. Unlike every other piece of P37 web gear I've ever seen they don't appear to be...

P37 web flap holster I would think.

The days of splitting up the components an original sniper rifle are safely in the past when they were a dime a dozen and had no serious collector value. While not absolutely impossible, the odds of...

The frame clearly shows it to be a Mk VI. So it has to be a put together. Can we see photos of the serial numbers on frame, barrel and cylinder?

I have a 1952 Canadian made Inglis Hi-Power 2nd pattern holster in new condition. It's white. Made for MP use I think. I've never seen any other white web gear that's not blanco'd or painted. I was...

Just a quick update. I purchased a couple pounds of W231 from Wholesale Sports. It's on sale for $25.19 for a one pound bottle. 40% off. I also purchased a copy of Water's Pet Loads on eBay and am...

What OAL should be used for 200 grain bullets? 1.24" as listed in my Lyman and Lee manuals?

Pet Loads is too expensive for me these days unfortunately.

The local Wholesale Sports has W231 in stock and on sale. I'll pick up a pound tomorrow.

I'm using a 200 grain pure lead bullet. 0.362" diameter.
I haven't slugged this revolver's barrel, but I suppose I should do so though.
