Nice rifle Don. It'll be interesting to see how it shoots.

Ted we mined enough lead out of the ol girl yesterday to cast a bullet for the 32 bellygun..Lots of that "pitting" in the bore isn't there now, and it's shiny looking down that hole.. I think with proper ammo she'll shoot ok.

Appreciate seeing what that brass was for. Outstanding!

Sarge this ol girl looks like she'll shoot and shoot fine. Thanks for pointing out the instock brass at Track.

You are welcome. Let us know how the ol'buffalo gal digests her new diet.

So, she digested something other than patched slugs during the past 142 years. It'd be fun to see you and the .50-70 have a go at knocking down a couple herds of steel buffalo here sometime....

I'll probably not shoot it much, just doing some work with it, documenting it, and then it'll return to it's place in it's owners safe.

Don can you post a picture of the front sight please?
Thanks
RE: Left the factory in 72 - Don McDowell - 07-23-2014
Stephen it looks just like the ones you make, except the base is blued on this one.
RE: Left the factory in 72 - Stephen Borud - 07-23-2014
Thanks Don, good info.
