I have one in a 22lr and 410 but I'm having issues in a couple areas and am having trouble finding parts or seeing a way to fabricate new ones or modify existing. My main issue is the 410 extractor is used and rubbed down so if u slide a shell in too fast or hard it slides up and over the rim and blocks the action from closing. Wondering if you have ever had this issue or know of a way to fix it. My 22lr extractor is a bit sticky as well but my spring is a bit crushed down and I was wondering if stretching it out a bit to get rid of some of the memory or would that completely mess with the integrity of the spring. Thanks for the video, very small resources on this firearm.

Long range shots at game should be illegal

You can pretty much write your own ticket as far as modifications on those old military actions. Just stay away from the locking lug areas or anything that secures the bolt. Why all the holes in the right side of that action? Enfield actions are pretty strong.

I have built several of those kits. Mostly Ballard and Sharps. Working on a Borchardt now in 38-72 Win. Be ware of shrinkage on some parts especially internal small parts. If it is a Storie kit they are pretty good. Patience is the key with kit building. Take it a step at a time and think your way through. You will get there...

I started with a Craftsman lathe many years ago. Did a boat load of work with it over the years. The 375 H H is a good old school round. Should work well with that Mauser action. I just subscribed by the way...

Stick a wet rag into the back of the bolt body, and leave some of the rag hanging out the back. Have a squirt bottle of water handy so you can keep the rag wet. When you heat up the bolt handle the wet rag will keep the cocking notch in the back of the bolt from annealing. So long as the rag is giving off steam its drawing the heat away from the bolt. I think that you might have drawn the temper from the back end of your bolt and the cocking notch. If that's the case, heat the effected area up until it just starts to glow orange, then dunk the bolt into a can of used motor oil. (be careful of flames and have something ready to cover the can and smother it if it starts burning) This will re-harden the back of the bolt. After you do this you'll probably have to clean the carbon scale off with some steel wool.

I made that sign!

Amazing work Dallas!! Thank you!

Liked and subscribed looks like good quality metal work and I very much appreciate quality craftsmanship. All the best man

The strange thing is, here in a few counties here in Virginia. Believe it or not. It is illegal to hunt with a pistol. Sucks doesn’t it?

Talk to your local fire department, see if they have any old turnout gear they'll sell you. The coat makes a good FR blanket. Keep it up!

Comparison is the thief of joy. Enjoy the journey.

What do you have for a lathe?

Horn

“Taking out your face”…..Now there’s an image…..lol

Well I don't much like to brag. But that farmer was my granddad. Taught me everything there us to know about hunting. Just call me ole sure shot.

I worked with a guy who told me a similar story. He said that he was discharged from the airforce back in the 60s and when he got home he wanted to go hunting but all he had was a single shot. 22. When a pheasant flushed he said that he got just the righ swing on it and downed it. With a head shot as I remember.

I have a over and under also

1..In the states l know, its illegal to shoot birds with a rifle. 2.. I had a combo gun, but got rid of it, because the pull was hard, and caused the rifle to be inaccurate. If you lighten the pull for the rifle, it could ruin it as a shotgun.

Irresponsible to shoot a rifle up in the air like that !!!

I like recoil

Is Asiatic water buffalo horn. Available at Petco as dog chew toys. Very brittle. Used extensively on Continental guns English use it on forend tips and accents.

Looks like Bakelite. Need a closer slower examination

Could be bakelite, or possibly gutta-percha, or even horn. That's a sweet old gun.

Bakealite maybe, I am probably spelling it wrong.

Ivory?

I had one just like that on my hip hog hunting right out of college. I heard one grunting but never saw one while we were gun hunting. We did chase a few down with dogs the next day.

Whiskey Wednesday!

old brass sheridan!! i put the williams peep on mine

Can you load it back up and show how to use an air compresser?

Thanks. I always appreciate your comments and support.

Thanks for this! I actually just bought the screw adapter so I can feel comfortable going to the range with my muzzleloader!! Good honest video!

What game is a 375 H&H good for? Isn't that an old-school safari round?

What are your plans with the 375 H&H?

Size don't matter

Man thats a nice piece, Arizona ranger approves 🦅🦅🦅

Beautiful piece I'm hella jealous

Thank you!

What would you do to prevent the rust from coming back on the raw steel if you are working on this project over a long period of time?

I used whole copper dish sponge to clean the inside of my 45-70 the last time I went to the range. Did a great job!!

Finally got to watch the whole video! I never though of using a smaller caliber casing for my 45-70! Great idea!!

I've been seeing lots of turkeys lately in SE Iowa

I've been busy the last couple of weeks, but I did get out to the shop tonight and drill the hinge pin holes. Believe it or not, they even line up!

I love your horse in the background!

Can't wait to see more!
