Good Morning,
That patina is what comes with age when dealing with the oldies. As long as you do not have pitting or rust, you just have natural aging of the steel. Sounds like the musket is in...

Will do.
Thanks,

Good Evening,
Thanks. All specs correctly and visually seem correct. Have tried assembling and disassembling several times with the same issue. Not sure what's up but I do have a January...
Thanks. It is a late "production" Long Land.
Randy
Please try it now. I believe it's set to allow all with the links. Just a newbie with Google Docs.
Thanks,
Randy
Good Afternoon All,
While I am not a reenactor, I do own a RW uniform (reproduction) and two original RW muskets. The folks at the range asked me to come and shoot the original muskets in proper...
]Good Morning All,
Back from the range with mixed results on my Military Transitional Evans. Loading, firing, and extraction were great. However, I could not chamber a round. The magazine worked...
Good Afternoon,
Looking for a complete, no missing parts, and range-ready Lebel. The rifle must have also have a good bore with all wood matching/good shape. Please PM with pictures and...
Good Evening,
Looking to clearly identify this musket prior to a possible purchase. I believe it's a commercial variation of the 1740 Potzdam but this is a bit out of my area. Would appreciate...
Agreed. Now at age 66 it often is "it's always the right time."
As the conversation brings in more information with each post, looks like $5000-$6000 is a fair price for a complete rifle. If my buyer will go down to $4000, this would leave room for the $1500 in...
$6300 would be the cash he wants, $4800, and my Second Model Trapdoor (50-70) worth $1500. The gentlemen likes Civil War period weapons. Randy

Good Morning,
Just began negotiating on Johnson here in Miami. The rifle is complete and functions correctly. However, it is missing it's rear sight and has been tapped for a scope. I have some...
Good Evening,
As many designers imitate ideas of others, I was wondering if the Brits copied the Evans apertures sight for their 1942 PIAT (Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank). Randy

Good Morning,
That sounds like a good place to begin. I am hoping to get the range in two weeks to try it out. Thanks, Randy
Good Morning All,
Working up my newly acquired Evans and have a question on the sights. Please let me know what are the range designation for the series of apertures. There are no markings I can...
Good Afternoon All,
Working on an 1876 Evans Transitional rifle that has seen some history. All is well except the three barrel band springs. They are all loose in their respective holes with a...
Wow! Way beyond my small garage shop capabilities, and I would not be able to shoot that at my range. I have seen some folks doing such on YouTube and it was impressive. You got me thinking. ...
Good Morning,
Yes, if I had a parapet to anchor the T-Gewehr down, I would not have to handle the level of recoil you saw on the video. I am loading 190gr of Hodgdon 50BMG with a very close match...
I do not photograph as well as Mae or her brother, but you can see me and the T-Gewehr on YouTube. Since taking this first video, I have replaced the reproduction bipod with an original tubular one:...
Good Evening,
For the record, I shot 30 rounds in about 45 minutes. At 210lbs plus 42lbs of T-Gewehr, I was able to weather the storm. No burses, no headaches, and my shoulder is fine. Most of...
Good Evening All,
Back from the range today and look what I found. At first, I noticed that my cases were not ejecting after extraction while shooting. Thirty rounds went down range and the...

I have a Lee-Metford but now prefer the '93. However, the LM is a beautiful rifle and is more evocative, in my mind, of the weapons of the late 19th and early 20th century. Randy
Good Afternoon All,
Just back from the range and my condolences to the American troopers sent to Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Wow, this rifle was deadly accurate, easy to fire, and the...
