Links to some of Patrick Chadwicks' other 1871 Mauser material:
To carry on where we left off...Smokeless in a Mauser M1871 or 71/84
Argentino M1879 Rolling Block. Is it worth restoring?
See Post #10 particularly, but there's more scattered throughout the MANY pages!
ETA:Trying to make up for my transgression...Sorry, Patrick, the offending Post's deleted now!
